We began by recognizing the problems we face because of disconnection to each other, and to the past and future. We then explored what consciousness is, how we relate to it, how to reclaim agency, and how to live that out in the real world.
I have argued that the world is in many ways burning–societally and ecologically, most pressingly. This is not a time to kick the proverbial can down the road. It’s a time to make serious decisions and act. The good news is that the action that’s needed is in no way a sacrifice or loss. It’s simply a re-taking of ourselves.
This book offers a framework to recognize, reclaim and ultimately embody a universal shared consciousness. I have shown that many traditions embrace this notion, and that there is both scientific and logical support for it as well.
Begin right where you are: slow down. Notice. Pay attention. Tune into your core values, which transcend convenience, fear and greed. Then choose with care, and act with presence. It is absolutely easier said than done, but it is doable. I do not believe that there is any savior coming to rescue us. We must do the saving, and we must start now. Every small act of alignment becomes a seed—planted not in theory, but in the soil of our collective future.
But what’s most exciting is what we stand to gain, not what we risk losing. Can you imagine a better life that is within your grasp?
