Calling All Evolutionary Leaders in Service to Conscious Evolution!
This Is Our Moment of Choice!
Together, we can accelerate the evolution of human consciousness and co-create the future.
Are we ready to step into our power and take an Evolutionary Leap?
| STATEMENT BY THE SOURCE OF SYNERGY FOUNDATION Deepak Chopra and the Evolutionary Leaders Circle The Source of Synergy Foundation was founded to support positive global transformation and advance conscious leadership rooted in inner awareness, global responsibility, integrity, and the belief in the inherent dignity of all.Recent disclosures of the Epstein Files have revealed that Dr. Deepak Chopra, co-founder of one of our main projects, the Evolutionary Leaders Circle, exchanged disturbing emails with Epstein that objectify and demean women and girls. Epstein was convicted of sexual abuse and implicated in human trafficking, financial manipulation, and exploitation of minors.While Deepak Chopra has not been investigated or criminally charged, and we do not claim to know the full extent of his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein, the Source of Synergy Foundation has removed Dr. Chopra from the Evolutionary Leaders Circle, whose mission is to inspire, support, and serve conscious evolution. The lack of full accountability in Dr. Chopra’s most recent public statements and the lack of transparency regarding his association with Epstein do not adhere to the standards of integrity that guide our organization.We stand in unwavering solidarity with the victims and survivors of all forms of exploitation and abuse in their ongoing journey to seek justice and healing. No amount of status, wealth or influence should ever shield abuse or silence those who have suffered. We honor the immense courage it takes to speak truth in the face of power. Exploitation, abuse of power, and complicity are incompatible with the future we seek to build.We are reviewing our policies and procedures to ensure that they reflect the rigor that conscious leadership demands. We commit ourselves to fostering a culture of accountability, transparency, and dignity where exploitation cannot be allowed and where every human being is regarded as sacred.This moment reflects a broader global reckoning. Across sectors, systems built on concentrated power, status above scrutiny, and unchallenged deference to individuals are being questioned. Leadership rooted in personality and influence, rather than values and principles, does not serve the highest good. A recalibration is occurring in the world around us and within ourselves where we are more deeply recognizing and developing our own innate power and capacities.Old patterns of imbalance, power, exploitation, silence, and misplaced trust are being made visible.The unraveling is not the end. It is the beginning of something more honest, more enlightened, and more whole. |
| Introducing SOUL: The Science of Unitive LoveBy Grant Storry, Jude Currivan and David Lorimer SOUL: The Science Of Unitive Love SOUL, the Science Of Unitive Love, is a collaborative vision co-initiated by Evolutionary Leaders Dr. Jude Currivan, cosmologist, planetary healer, and co-founder of WholeWorld-View, and Grant Storry, systems healer, philosopher-builder, and technology executive. It builds on Jude’s decades of pioneering work in unitive science and cosmology and is being carried forward by a growing community of aligned researchers, organizations, and practitioners, including fellow Evolutionary Leaders Heidi Sparkes Guber, David Lorimer, Dr Elena Mustakova, and Anne-Marie Voorhoeve. SOUL offers a way of engaging within the world: oriented by Coherence, expressed through relationship, and animated by love. Founded on the evidence-based unitive science that underpins and frames the Evolutionary Leaders’ adopted unitive narrative, SOUL asks a deceptively simple but profound question: What if love is not merely a human emotion or ethical ideal, but a universal principle intrinsic to the nature of reality itself? From this inquiry, SOUL explores how the universe coheres, evolves, and regenerates through nested relationships -across cosmology, biology, psychology, social systems, consciousness, and lived human experience- revealing Coherence, meaning, belonging, wholeness, and pattern as fundamental features and natural law governing how our shared reality unfolds.  Crucially, SOUL is not only something to understand, but a posture to inhabit, a way of orienting toward Life itself. It offers a Coherent lens through which we meet ourselves, one another, and the living world, recognizing that inner states and outer systems are continuously shaping one another within a shared relational field. In  this light, SOUL asks us to consider: What changes when love is approached not as an ideal, but as a principle of Coherence in everyday life? As both theory and lived practice, SOUL invites us to act as Coherent agents, in relationship, aware of our entanglement with all Life; allowing love, consciously embodied as Coherence, to become a practical force for profound transformational healing across personal, collective, and systemic domains.SOUL, featured in Paradigm Explorer: Activating Coherence ConsciousnessLearn more at: WholeWorld-View: SOUL“Love, consciously embodied as Coherence, becomes a practical force for transformation.” |

Launching uniphi Culture & Leadership DiagnosticBy Peter Matthies I’m super excited to unveil our uniphi Culture & Leadership Diagnostic, which we’ve been creating & testing for the past 2 years. For 20 years, I’ve worked with leaders who genuinely care about their people. They know their revenue. They know their margins. They know their headcount. But when I ask: “How are your people really experiencing your leadership?” Most pause. Not because they don’t care. But because they don’t actually know.Of course there are tools available that measure engagement. But when I ask leaders, I hear is this: Often too superficial. Too political. Don’t lead to real change. So over the past two years, we’ve been quietly building something different. It’s called uniphi™. It’s not another engagement survey but a culture & leadership diagnostic that provides Data You Can FeelInsights You Can Work WithReal Conversations.uniphi helps founders, CEOs, and HR leaders see: Where culture is strong Where leadership & culture needs improving What their people feel (but don’t say) And what to actually do next What we’ve learned so far: Culture isn’t soft. It’s just rarely measured well. uniphi is our approach to change that. We’re excited to share more during the coming weeks. Stay tuned. We’re also launching a Founder-Led Pilot limited to 5 organizations/team. If you want to be included, join the waitlist. Check out the uniphi website I’d love to hear your thoughts and comments!

| How to Meditate Without Even Trying By Peter Russell I’ve been busy working on a new book, How to Meditate Without Even Trying, which will be published by New World Library on March 24th. Moreover, I’m excited to say that Eckhart Tolle has written a delightful forward. Some of you may recognize this as the title of my online course. It began as a handbook to that course, but as I worked on it, I found myself adding practices I’ve shared over the years in groups, lectures, and videos—material that had never been brought together in one place. The result is a much more comprehensive book, How to Meditate Without Even Trying. I’ve also posted a new video (see below). In it, Eckhart Tolle and I discuss the nature of consciousness. We explore a question that often gets blurred in scientific discussions: while the brain may shape the changing experiences that arise in consciousness—the “contents” of consciousness—does it actually create consciousness itself? Or is consciousness already present in all living systems? Watch Here |

| 2030 Peace Moonshot: Creating a Global Culture of Peace By David Gershon  The First Earth Run: Inspiration for the 2030 Peace Moonshot In 1986, at the height of the Cold War, the author conceived and organized a global initiative in partnership with UNICEF and ABC Television: the passing of a torch of peace around the world. Called the First Earth Run, it was witnessed by a billion people through global media and involved 25 million participants and 45 heads of state across 62 countries. Wherever the torch of peace traveled, wars stopped, and humanity experienced a shared sense of peace. This global peace initiative produced outcomes once considered impossible. Military adversaries laid down their arms. Communities united across political, religious, and national divides. Two Cold War antagonists, President Gorbachev of the Soviet Union and President Reagan of the United States, both endorsed the effort, transcending their differences. Heads of state collaborated with grassroots NGOs. A new move on the geopolitical chessboard was born with remarkable outcomes. These events prompted important questions: What lessons could be carried forward? How could one translate the knowledge gleaned from mobilizing humanity for a global moment in time into behavior change at scale — the ultimate social impact measurement? Answering these questions would require a deep exploration of behavior change, community empowerment, large-scale system transformation, and the science of tipping points. Over the following decades, and much trial and error, this exploration led to the creation of the Peace on Earth by 2030 Moonshot — a bold, systemic plan to create a global culture of peace by the end of the decade .  Fig.1. Communities across the world mobilized to participate in the First Earth Run in 1986. (Photo Credits: Haroldo de Faria Castro; UNICEF; Robert Goodearl) The 2030 Peace Moonshot The Peace Moonshot is built around a three-part transformative architecture. A Peace Game transforms individuals through peace practices. A Peace Zone transforms communities through cooperation. A Global Peace Movement ignites collective purpose and momentum. When these three operate together, peace becomes self-reinforcing. This transformational architecture scales peace from behavior change to system change. Personal practices create new social behaviors. Repeated behaviors in communities become new social norms. New social norms across communities shift the operating system of society. Peace scales the same way all durable change scales — through norms. While the Peace Moonshot’s primary goal is creating a global culture of peace, it is also designed to strengthen the conditions needed for all positive change initiatives to succeed. By addressing root causes of obstacles, such as lack of cooperation or community polarization, it enables more effective action across society. Just as the best way to influence a river is by acting upstream, the Peace Moonshot targets these upstream interventions to improve outcomes downstream, where most social change happens. When communities build cooperation and collective agency, they are better equipped to address challenges such as poverty, health, education, and environmental sustainability. This is the benefit provided by establishing a culture of peace. From 2020 to 2025, the Peace Moonshot initiative piloted its two transformative social innovations: the Peace Game and Peace Zones. The Peace Game pilot engaged thousands of participants who carried out tens of thousands of Peace Actions across hundreds of cities impacting millions of people. In parallel, five multi-year Peace Zone pilots were launched — two in the United States and one each in Kenya, Ghana, and South Africa which modeled cooperation strategies. To support scaling these efforts, more than 70 partner organizations were mobilized, including Rotary, which brings a global network of 46,000 clubs spanning over 200 countries. Based on the successful pilot implementation and knowledge acquired from these platforms, Empowerment Institute and its partners, who are leading the initiative, have now begun the scaling phase. The goal from 2026 to 2030 is to achieve peace tipping points by engaging 40 million people globally in the Peace Game and establishing 10,000 Peace Zones worldwide. Transformation of Individuals: The Peace Game “Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defenses of peace must be constructed.” — Preamble to UNESCO Charter The peace plan posits that lasting peace starts with a shift in human consciousness. Through the Peace Game, individuals are empowered to transform internal barriers like fear, prejudice, and indifference. This is achieved through an engaging app that uses gamified behavior change and a peer support system called a Peace Team. A research study on the Peace Game found participants became empowered, collaborative, empathetic, and willing to help and connect with others.

Don’t Eat (some of) Your GreensBy Lynne McTaggart For at least 70 years, the West has been consumed by the notion of healthy eating, but what exactly constitutes ‘health foods’ has been a highly moveable feast, with a new theory emerging with each new decade. Ever since Ancel Keys published his Seven Countries studies in the 1950s to determine the source of heart disease, the consensus has been that a high fat diet and high blood cholesterol are the primary culprits of heart disease. Most significantly, Keys’ partial research (conveniently eliminating further evidence from nine other countries that didn’t support his theory) spawned the entire low-fat industry and the notion that saturated fats caused the build-up of cholesterol in the blood. To this day, most of mainstream medicine still supports the fat-are-bad-for-us theory, encouraging anyone over 50 to take statins as a preventive measure. What was considered gospel for all those decades is now being debunked by new evidence showing that cholesterol and fats are essential to brain health and that statins and low-fat diets (often full of highly processed ‘healthy’ alternatives) may be responsible for the current epidemic of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. In the last decade, carbohydrates have become the demon food group. Those in the vanguard of healthy eating have ditched low-fat, added back meat and saturated fats, and are now minimizing all the white stuff – potatoes, white rice, processed foods of all sorts – sticking to low-glycemic foods that convert into sugar slowly.  At the centerpiece of high protein, low carb eating is plant foods: dark greens like spinach, sweet potatoes instead of the white variety, plus nuts, especially almonds, and for treats, dark chocolate with cocoa content of 70 percent or more. Every last book on diet and nutrition now emphasizes drinking regular green smoothies, packed with almonds, chia seeds and protein powder in the morning; baking with almond flour instead of wheat flour; consuming lots of legumes; and filling your plate with dark leafy greens. But this too can be a recipe for ill health. Many of these so-called superfoods contain high levels of a substance called ‘oxalates’ (the common name for oxalic acid), a naturally occurring substance present in many plant foods like leafy greens, nuts, and soybeans and other legumes. When consumed in high amounts, this anti-nutrient can bind to calcium during digestion, preventing absorption of vital nutrients and causing a raft of problems, from joint pain and irritable bowel to skin issues, sinusitis and, most problematically, kidney stones. The toxicity of oxalates is nothing new. Oxalic acid was used in the 1700s as an industrial substance and cleaning powder, and 200 years ago, medical reports discussed cases of accidental poisoning with it – some even causing kidney failure. In the mid-1800s, doctors connected oxalates with everything from fatigue and bladder pain to arthritis. Nevertheless, in modern times, only doctors those specializing in kidney disease have made the connection between kidney function and high oxalate foods since three-quarters of kidney stones contain calcium oxalate.

| On Sacred RelationshipA remedy for an increasingly transactional culture By Stephen Dinan How do we relate to others in a way that liberates ourselves and helps to heal the world?  Today I offer my reflections on sacred relationship, which I believe sits at the heart of personal and cultural renewal. As the fabric of public trust continues to fray, our ability to engage in meaningful, life-affirming connections becomes not only a personal path but a planetary remedy.Sacred relationship is not limited to romance or long-term intimacy. It can emerge in a five minute encounter or grow across decades. It is a way of engaging that sees, honors, and amplifies the divine essence in the other person and blesses their highest becoming. It is grounded in love but includes a more attuned, empowering way of engaging as well.This orientation creates a third presence between people — not just you and me but a field of shared coherence that begins to grow between us. Sacred relationship is a triad: Self, Other, and the Bond, which we can call friendship, alliance, partnership or something unique. Each part of the tried requires care, curiosity, and attunement.By contrast, a transactional relationship centers on extraction: what can I get from this person? This orientation objectifies. The other becomes a means to an end – a vehicle or stepping stone to get more of something I desire. In keeping the focus on the egoic, separate self, it lacks care for the other person and reinforces a sense of isolation for both parties. The result? Disconnection, cynicism, and cultural polarization.When relationships are governed by self-interest alone, trust withers. And when enough breakdowns of trust accumulate, we begin to anticipate betrayal. Suspicion becomes the norm. Self-preservation becomes the baseline.Transactional relationships reinforce a culture of greed and selfishness because people get the clear signal that others won’t look out for their best interests, which leads to more suspicion, fear, and self-preservation.Many of the signals of transactional relationships are subtle. Most people aren’t aware of how they act in more transactional ways that corrode the quality of our relationship field. Here are a few examples that are common and contribute to a more transactional relational culture. […]Read the full article on Substack here |
| A Moment in TimeBy Kristin Engvig After many years of convening women from around the world, today I felt a profound happiness (about it again).  There was a time when my focus on inner development was overlooked, sometimes even questioned. Yet the systems change required to create a paradigm in which we truly flourish cannot be built by addressing the world and the workplace alone.We must also address ourselves. Our inner lives. Our balance of feminine and masculine. Our body, mind, and heart. Over the past 29 years, I am also deeply proud that many women who have walked this path have gone both far and deep. With that depth, our collective consciousness has risen. Worldwide. Today, as we enter the Chinese New Year, I find myself reflecting on our long-standing connections with China and on the wisdom that has shaped this journey. I remember one of our speakers and my Chinese Qi Gong master, Bi Sung , once telling me: “If you wish to increase your consciousness, there are two things you must do: – Meditate. – And serve the world with your heart.” Her words have stayed with me. It is not enough to educate and empower; we must cultivate inner connection and stillness. And it is not enough to meditate in solitude; we must bring our awakened heart into service. Inner cultivation and outer contribution belong together. A Shift in the Field In recent weeks, I have held several women’s circles, a deeper evolution of the Mobilizing Women meetings. I have such passion for coming together again. Because unlike earlier years, when my conversations about consciousness or spiritual intelligence were met with skepticism, something has shifted. I have always believed in wholeness: integrating inner and outer, feminine and masculine, body and soul. To transform systems, we must become the solution. There were moments when I felt out of place in a world that prized intellect and competition, while WIN also stood for collaboration, harmony, and a whole-systems view. The integration of the two. Today, I sense readiness. A longing for luminous leadership. For deeper connection to Earth, to one another, and to what lies beyond us. What a moment. […]Read the full article on LinkedIn here |
An Open Letter to Spiritual & Harmonic Leaders: From Outrage to Harmonic ActionHow Awakening Leaders Respond to a Fractured WorldBy Julie Krull Picture on MediumNote to the reader:This letter is written in a moment of collective reckoning and offered as a stabilizing response for those committed to healing without collapse. As evolutionary biologist Elisabet Sahtouris often reminded us, humanity appears to be moving from a long adolescence into an early adulthood as a species. This letter is written from — and for — that developmental threshold.  Dear leaders, teachers, practitioners, and stewards of the future — Beloved Imaginal Souls, We are living in a time of exposure. Not just of individuals, but of systems. Not just of behavior, but of underlying architectures of power, silence, and complicity. What was once hidden is surfacing. What was once tolerated is being questioned. What was once “just how things work” is no longer holding. This is not merely a political or cultural reckoning. It is a developmental threshold — one that asks something deeper of us as a species. This is not a moment for spiritual bypass. Nor is it a moment for outrage or moral theater. It is a moment for adult consciousness. First: We Feel, Then We Regulate Before we respond, we allow ourselves to feel. Shock, grief, anger, outrage, betrayal, fear — these are natural and necessary human responses when harm and corruption are exposed. Feeling them does not make us reactive; denying them does. There are moments when anger is appropriate. When outrage signals a moral boundary. When grief tells the truth about what has been lost. These emotions are not evidence of weakness. They are evidence that our hearts are awake. But feeling is not the same as leading from dysregulation. Harmonic leadership begins when we learn to hold the tension of the opposites: to feel deeply and remain steady, to honor emotion and stay coherent, to allow intensity without being overtaken by it. We take care of ourselves responsibly. We ground in the body. We breathe. We slow perception. We allow sensation to move — without collapsing into it or acting it out unconsciously. Because dysregulated leadership amplifies chaos. Reactive leadership fragments the field. Coherence is not emotional numbness. It is the capacity to stay present with what is real. And coherence is not a preference — it is infrastructure. Second: We Center Harm Without Losing Humanity Harm is real. Those harmed matter. Their dignity, safety, and healing must not be sacrificed to preserve reputations, institutions, or comfort. Justice is not anti-love. Consequences are not unspiritual. Boundaries are not duality. At the same time, compassion does not require denial, and accountability does not require dehumanization. Withdrawing support is not exiling a soul. Naming harm is not hatred. Refusing alignment is not cruelty. Mature systems protect the vulnerable and preserve humanity. […]Read the full article on Medium here |
| The Natural Order of the Universe is Wholeness and UnityUnitive Consciousness is Our Archetypal Inheritance By Bob Atkinson  To realize the preconditions necessary for bringing about the unity of the human family, we need to see the big picture of why this is our origin and our destiny. Unity is the glue maintaining the wholeness-in-motion of all things. At the mystic heart of all sacred traditions – and now at the leading edge of the latest scientific findings – is the knowledge that a hidden thread of wholeness connects and unites all things in existence. Love is the underlying force of Creation.  There is an inherent unity to the Universe. All the planets in the sky above have been created to be in perfect alignment with each other. All the cells and organs in the human body have been created to be in perfect alignment with each other. These macro and micro levels were designed to fit perfectly together expressing harmony, balance, and unity.All things came into being through the supreme attractive force of Love. All of Creation is a sacred wholeness-in-motion, the embodiment of Love-in-action. The cause of the existence of the entire Creation is Love-in-action, the force that maintains unity throughout. From its inception, an archetypal unity pervaded the entire Cosmos. This original wholeness was the essence of the Cosmos, with all beings emerging out of the same elemental substance, bound together by the same power of attraction. This attractive force of unity manifests coherence between all atoms of the component parts of Creation, from mineral to vegetable to the animal kingdom and beyond, as expressed in the love emanating from the human heart.

Artificial Intelligence, Human Stupidity, and Weapons of Mass DistractionBy Anodea Judith If animals could talk, I sometimes wonder what they might have said as humans made their late arrival to the evolutionary party.“Hey, there’s this new species,” Bear says. “They walk on two feet and have really big brains. They use tools and complex language. They can figure things out we can’t even begin to understand.” Fox flicks his tail. “And they’re spreading fast. Soon they’ll be everywhere.” Horse, ever hopeful, offers, “Maybe they’re here to help the rest of us survive and prosper.” Cow chews thoughtfully. “Or maybe they’re going to round us up for food.” History suggests Cow had the better instincts. Fast-forward a blink of evolutionary time, and now it’s our turn to whisper nervously around the fire. “There’s this new intelligence,” the pundits say. “It learns faster than we do. It writes, paints, diagnoses disease, drives cars, predicts wars. It may cure cancer. It may end jobs. It may save us. It may replace us.” Will artificial intelligence be our savior or our demise? And beneath that question, a quieter one: Is AI really the problem — or is human stupidity the greater threat? Every Advantage Has a Shadow Every technology offers an advantage. Guns over swords. Chainsaws over axes. Cars over walking. Computers over memory. Each leap makes life faster, easier, and more powerful, allowing us to do more with less. And each leap carries consequences we conveniently ignore. Guns are the leading cause of death in children in America. Chainsaws leveled ancient forests in a generation. Cars and planes contribute to climate catastrophe. Screens connect us everywhere, yet leave us lonelier than ever. It isn’t the tools themselves that betray us. It’s our failure to use them wisely. And that is a failure of human intelligence. We wage wars that solve nothing. We poison the ecosystems that feed us. We ignore the rise of dictatorships until it’s too late. We repeat the same historical mistakes with astonishing confidence. From this perspective, humanity doesn’t look like the most intelligent species on Earth. But maybe stupidity isn’t the right word. Maybe we’re just misinformed. […]Read the full article here |
On the Concept of Paradigms and a New Paradigm for Evolving Cooperative SystemsBy David Sloan Wilson Our 21st-century crises are rooted in outdated, individualistic paradigms. A new complexity and evolution-based paradigm can better guide science, policy, and collective action. How we act upon the world depends upon how we conceptualize the world. Life is far too complex to pay attention to everything. Instead, our ideas draw our attention to a tiny slice of reality and process this information in ways that “make sense;” in other words, that help us to survive and thrive in the world to which we are so largely blind. The multiple crises facing the world today are therefore symptoms of a crisis taking place inside our heads. Our ideas are failing us. Perhaps they served us better in the past, or served at least some of us, but now they seem poised to bring about the ruin of us all. It’s not just a matter of good or bad intentions. Even the best-intentioned person can behave ruinously based on ideas that “made sense” to them but didn’t happen to play out as intended in the real world. Such a person is like the character of a folk tale who is granted a wish and ends up regretting what they wished for. The phrase “new paradigm” is often used to convey the need for a way of thinking that is truly different and not just a nudging of current ways of thought. Yet, the concept of paradigms is notoriously fuzzy, and even people who are highly aligned in their good intentions differ in their articulation of what “the” new paradigm might be. If the concept of a new paradigm becomes too pluralistic, then the word paradigm loses its meaning. This essay has two goals: The first is to provide an operational definition of the word “paradigm” that captures the idea of multiple sets of ideas guiding action. My second goal is to identify both an old paradigm that needs to be shed and a new paradigm that needs to be adopted. I see this in broad historical terms as a transition from the individualism and reductionism of past centuries to the holism and interactionism of the 21st century. The overall tone of my essay is optimistic. There really is a new way of thinking that has emerged over roughly the last 50 years, which can help us navigate the world much better than older patterns of thought. The new paradigm is not something we need to search for or bring about in the future. It already exists for a sizeable community of thinkers and doers—although this community is a tiny fraction of those who need to know about it. Hence, the urgent need is to catalyze something that is already in progress. […]Read the full article here |
| A Little Love Letter to CommunityLet’s fire up this horse year with truth-full compassion By Shilpa JainFeb 14, 2026Dear Beloved Community,  Buckle up my friends; it’s that time again. The Lunar New Year is nearly upon us, and this time around, it suggests a doozy of change. We are moving from a very intense 2025 Yin Wood Snake year — where the energetic impulse was ‘to shed [and] find intimacy in what is dying’ — into a yet-to-be-known 2026 Yang Fire Horse year, which ‘powers revolutions fated by the stars’ (according to the wisdom of my friend and artist Kylie Tseng; see her incredible images below).  This love letter is for both of us, you and me. I am sending it from my tender heart to yours, so we can prepare to hold each other for what lies ahead. I’ve been praying that this Fire Horse year will not be a fire hose year. Regardless, I know I’ll be needing you as much as ever, and I want you to know you can count on me, too. That’s what community love is all about, in my humble opinion. As this year comes to a close, I have been feeling the impacts of the shedding of old worldviews and institutions. Whether seen in the DOGE-ing that kicked us in the gut at the top of the year, or in the ceaselessly violent ‘cease-fire’ in Gaza, or in the funding of a few billionaires’ tax cuts over healthcare and nutritional assistance for millions, or in the heinous cover-up of the Epstein scandal, or in the ICE goon squads that intensified these last months, I have felt that snake shedding its skin almost daily. The thin veneer of civility and progress has systematically been pulled off, and the depth and breadth of the pervasive sicknesses of greed, hatred, and separation have been revealed. Yet, even though so many moments of this last year have been horrifying and painful, I also think they have illuminated what matters most — love for each other, care for Mama Earth, truth and honesty, and standing up to stop injustice and violence — all while building up pathways of self-care, mutual aid, interconnected solidarity, and other kinds of kinship routes. I love that the ideology of ‘neighborism’ has emerged from the heart and soul of Minnesota’s people power — the sense that protecting the people around you, regardless of who they are and where they come from, is more valuable than anything else.* That feels like the intimacy that is most needed now. And, it is what I want to invite more of this year.  How can we take the released energy of truthfulness into the New Year with gusto? How can we continue to shed the veneer of separation and fold deeper into the intimacy of connection? How can heart-powered creativity be nurtured as a driving force of change? What does that look like for each of us, personally and collectively? And how can we hold each other in these revolutionary times? Heart-powered revolutions have me thinking about compassion. I’ve written about the compass of compassion before, and I sense the invitations for empathy, forgiveness, curiosity, and stillness will continue to be helpful directions to explore. And yet, one of the things I’ve noticed recently is how compassion can get twisted into a form of avoidance, which then weakens the power of our communities.

Consciousness Was Never MysticalBy Anoop Kumar Consciousness was never mystical. It’s the only thing we have ever experienced. What is truly mystical is the “physical” world – which, mysteriously, nobody has ever seemed to contact in the absence of consciousness. Hmm…. Let’s straighten things out a bit and state what we know for sure. We are conscious. Through consciousness we experience many things, including a “physical” world and a “physical” body. Neuroscience, physics, and tech are up to their necks in investigating these relationships. What if healthcare caught up? We would lose *nothing* of what we know today, yet also gain the wisdom of all traditions across time. Not a bad deal. That’s what we’re working on at Numocore. We’re connecting the real problems/opportunities in healthcare, like cost, quality, payments, access, knowledge, healing, scale, blind spots, AI, and more with the theory that consciousness is fundamental and matter is its pattern. Whoa Nelly! That’s a chasm and then some! Don’t worry. We got this. There’s a bridge. The bridge is the Numocore Core Models, which are five models of human nature subtle and rigorous enough to be grounded in the primacy of consciousness while also being practical enough to be applied to intractable healthcare problems. We’ve taken two big steps so far. (1) We’ve created a beta AI based on Anthropic’s Claude to start explaining the Core Models in such a way that executives, holistic practitioners (including doctors), policy wonks, and anyone else can appreciate what the primacy of consciousness looks like and how to apply it to healthcare. (No medical advice though. We’ll develop and partner with clinical teams to deploy that.) The focus is on understanding and building solutions, not meandering. You can get to know Numos here: numocore.health/numos (2) We’ve created a prototype of a new health system where you can watch videos on healing (and upload your insights about health, healing, and healthcare) and even book practitioners, all organized by the Core Models. This is early stage so we have a few videos and a couple amazing practitioners (please support them!). Play around and see how it works: numocore.health Healing is possible when we discover the pattern behind all healing. We believe that pattern starts with the primacy of consciousness and extends outward in an infinite tapestry of organized, understandable, customized modalities. Real personalized medicine that heals, scales affordably, and offers independence – that’s what Numocore is about. Consciousness is playing an ever bigger role in healthcare, wellness, and public health – and as it does, all of these will merge. The trajectory is clear, irreversible, and accelerating.

Find the Love Within the DarknessBy Clare Dubois To everyone else out there that is also really struggling with the daily onslaught of toxic sludge that is Epstein’s legacy – a few offerings. This does all have to come out. In the same way the the body needs to shake out its poisons and a mind needs to dissolve its conditioning in order to heal enough to create a new state of being (or in our case, a new world order) healing requires the toxic to be seen and alchemized in order for transformation to occur. This is what is happening now, and this simply has to happen so we’re going to need to hold each others hands on the journey, because the journey is asking to be made, and made by all of us. Almost more than the truth itself – the fact of how the system protects its own sickness needs to be seen in all its gory. How the system itself is sick. This excruciating process seems to be what is needed for the world at large to finally be able to grok just how readily those in power protect others in power, as blatantly as simply redacting their names for all to see. The process literally screams ‘we are hiding the perpetrators’ and I (and many of us) just want to throw up.  With every corrupt move, the conscious awareness and light of the masses is pressing into the murk, is gathering its true power, no longer satisfied to simply look away, building a tidal wave of momentum that is our collective demand for transparency. It’s an energetic mechanism of presence and relentless focus that if wielded consciously is steadily going to lift the scabs off all these unhealed nightmarish wounds of inhumanness. The truth will out, because the truth is love, and love will not allow this darkness to stay hidden forever. When addressing trauma, one does not try to manhandle it into a different shape, one sits inside the unbearable with as much presence, compassion, and love as possible, until the system becomes conscious of itself and begins to realign. One has to look fully into the face of the nightmare, with all the love one possesses, until one begins to find the love within the darkness. Until lostness starts to find itself found. Until the exile dissolves into belonging. Until the agony is met with enough understanding to let go of the clench. That is alchemy. That is actual transformation. When whatever has been held in exile, separation, damnation, horror, self loathing, confusion and anguish is met with sufficient compassion and presence to begin to recognize something other within itself, that is the beginning of a path back into unity. Somehow, on a daily basis, I am asking us all to sit with the full extent of our compassion and presence and feel what is asking to be felt. Feel what is being dragged up from the shadows. Feel these structures and patterns of behavior that have existed because separation has been sought and accomplished so completely through cruelty wearing so many different kinds of faces. Separation is a lie, because beneath anything and everything you could ever experience that is the very worst of everything, Love still exists. It does. I know this from my own incredibly gritty experience. Beneath it all, love still exists. Please, let’s hold each other there.Photo: Lake Baikal in Siberia, by Alexi Trofimov |
| Be Brave in LoveBy Christian Sorensen “A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.” ~ Mohandas K. Gandhi, presidential address to the First Gujarat Political Conference, November 3, 1917  One aspect of living wholeheartedly is loving those around you freely and fully. This can be a challenge because we have all been wounded and hurt by love at one time or another. Rejection can be hard, and we are all rejected at some point as we search for those people who are ready for and can accept our love and appreciation. The key is in not allowing the pain of the past to lock up our hearts and pull us away from the power of connecting with others on a deep level. We are called to be brave in love! We must be bold and daring! If you hold yourself back because of past hurts, you deny yourself the joy, connection, and passion you feel when you share who you are with someone who is ready to see and know you. Sometimes it takes courage to take that first step forward to speak your truth and share your heart. When you do this, you see that it is always worth sharing your love because when you are brave in love and share yourself freely, the gifts and blessings outweigh any pain the past may have held. Spiritual Contemplation: Think about what experiences from your past may be holding you back from sharing your love fully and freely? How can you step out bravely to open to love in a new way? Affirmation: I bravely share my love with the world! |
| Personal Message: Continuing the 3-Year MiracleBy Patricia AlbereThree years ago, around this time, I shared with you that I was diagnosed with 4th-stage metastatic breast cancer that had moved into my pancreas, bones, and liver. After a period when it seemed the treatment wasn’t working, something shifted, and I began to feel better. What first looked like a six-month life expectancy in January 2023 has now become over three years of miracles. A friend of mine called this period “An Unexpected Epilogue.” With the treatment and prayers I’ve received, everyone — including my doctors — has been amazed at how much life and vitality I’ve had despite what my body has been going through. Each month and each year has felt like another expression of the miracle that I — and the Evolutionary Collective — have been living inside of.  Recently, however, the treatments have lost their effectiveness, and my body is showing signs that it is ready for a new reality. I’ve made the decision to stop further treatment and embrace the dying process (again). I’m considering this my graduation from being human (one can only hope). There is a process and discovery unfolding about where things are going, and I want people to feel the excitement of that. I hope to share more in the coming weeks about the momentum we’re inside of and the future unfolding for the Evolutionary Collective and the larger world. What feels most important to say right now is this: an evolutionary movement is underway, and it is very exciting. Death itself carries a certain clarity. There is also an evolutionary clarity. When the world is at a particular threshold, something becomes vivid about what matters and how to draw closer to it. In a world where so much competes for our attention, we are invited to ask what truly deserves it. We are not in an ordinary moment. We are in the midst of one of those times. The most important question for such times is: “How do we listen for and stay awake to where evolution is taking us?” Because there is a positive possibility in where we are being led. I don’t know how long I personally have on this planet. But as a teacher, I know this beautiful creation — the Evolutionary Collective — is real. A family and community of unity. What everyone is looking for, we actually have. I feel assured that what has been built has true existence and will continue, whether I am physically here or not. Many of you already know Carolyne Mathlin, our Executive Director. Carolyne is one of our senior Mutual Awakening Teachers and has worked closely with me for the past eight years. Two years ago, Sherry Pae joined our team. She brings a lifetime of mastery at the intersection of medical expertise, holistic healing, and spiritual development. She was a Critical Care Nurse for over two decades before moving into alternative practice for more than 30 years. During that time, she co-founded and directed one of the country’s first Holistic Healing Centers, blending modern medicine with alternative healing approaches. She later served as a faculty member at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, holding the position of Dean of Advanced Studies in both the United States and Europe, and Dean of the School in Europe. Her leadership has helped shape the future of healing and personal transformation. I have complete confidence in Sherry and Carolyne’s ability to carry this work into its next evolution. You’ll be hearing more from them once I can no longer communicate with you directly. No matter what happens to my body, I know that my Life continues from within shared unity. When the miracle of what was happening around me first became clear, I immediately thought, “I will live.” And it had nothing to do with my physical survival. Thank you for being in this conversation and for being part of what is coming through to be known and lived by us now — and into the future. In Unity All Ways, Always… Patricia Albere Evolutionary Collective Founder Author of Evolutionary Relationships |
