on the ex Zone Broadcast Network. I'm your host, Doctor
33
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:34.360
David Gruder, the polymath of human potential, societal psychotherapist, and
34

36
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:48.520
most spiritually elevated future to at last emerge. The title
37
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:54.639
of this episode is reimagining Humanity's evolution, accelerating the emergence
38
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:59.080
of Homo spiritus in our lifetime. I'm about to unveil
39
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:02.319
material that I've leave is so urgent and personal that
40
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:05.439
I haven't invited a guest for this episode. It will
41
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:06.960
be between.
42
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:07.360
Just you and me.
43
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.639
We are living in what I believe is the most
44
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:14.879
pivotal moment in our lifetimes and quite possibly since the
45
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:20.680
Dawn Hour Dawn. As the spirit species Homo sapiens, we
46
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:26.639
are undergoing a metamorphosis into a new species. Because of this,
47
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:31.599
I don't view the chaos, divisiveness, stress, burnout, and planetary
48
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:35.879
breakdown going on everywhere so much as signs of collapse,
49
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:40.479
as I see those struggles as being the labor pains
50
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:44.199
of our next species trying to be born, which I
51
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:49.719
call homospiritus human spirits, and I'll unpack more about that
52
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:54.599
in this episode. Over the past two decades, I've been mapping,
53
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:59.159
mapping exactly how this transition is unfolding at the individual
54
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:03.919
and collective levels, and distilling this clarity into a practical,
55
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:10.360
all purpose, customizable framework to make this metamorphosis easier. I
56
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:15.319
call it the SPARK blueprint for transcendent human potential, and
57
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.240
SPARK is an acronym that ends in the letter C
58
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:22.120
rather than the letter K. People around the world are
59
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:27.240
using it to awaken core capacities that distinguish homospiritus from
60
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:31.319
Homo sapiens. In this episode, I'm pulling the curtain all
61
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:33.680
the way back to provide you with ways to more
62
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:38.079
deeply understand why the symptoms that are stressing us the
63
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:42.879
most today are better viewed as evolutionary catalysts rather than
64
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:47.920
as dead ends heralding a dystopian future. What makes Homo
65
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:52.800
spirituals vastly different from Homo sapiens. A blueprint that turns
66
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:59.000
timeless spiritual freedom into durable self sovereignty and yields real
67
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:04.839
world solutions that build psycho spiritually healthy societies and immediate
68
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:10.199
next steps you can take toward embodying homosparratuse through a
69
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.480
free gift I'll tell you about toward the end of
70
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.720
this episode, and next steps you can take based on
71
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:20.839
that gift. If you believe in your bones that humanity
72
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:24.720
is destined for a far more enlightened future than our
73
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:29.519
current operating system allows, and if you recognize that technology
74
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:34.360
must remain our tool instead of becoming the boss of us.
75
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:37.560
I believe you're going to gain a lot from this episode.
76
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:39.000
In fact, I'm.
77
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:43.040
Guessing you'll discover that this provides the vision and roadmap
78
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.839
you've been waiting for. So without further ado, let's dive
79
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:50.120
into a journey from symptoms to root causes, to what
80
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.839
to look for in a solution to my version of
81
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:56.279
that solution. In this first segment, we'll look at the
82
00:05:56.360 --> 00:06:00.360
symptoms that not enough of us recognize, or indication that
83
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:06.399
we are alchemizing into a new species. But first I'll
84
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:09.879
offer a little about how I initially became a futurist.
85
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:14.240
I grew up on the high functioning end of the
86
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:18.120
autism spectrum. I didn't know how the world worked, and
87
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:20.560
by the time I was ten years old, I had
88
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:24.720
decided that my parents didn't either, so I took it
89
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:28.839
upon myself to figure that out for them, for my brother,
90
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.639
and for myself. I also felt that doing this was
91
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:35.720
too daunting at ten years old to be able to succeed,
92
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:40.240
so in my mind's eye, I regularly called out silently
93
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:45.000
to ets, to extraterrestrials, which I read as a child,
94
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:48.839
everything that I could get my hands on on the
95
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:53.519
subject of life beyond Earth, and in my mind's eye,
96
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:57.759
I was pleading with them to take me away from here. Well,
97
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:01.560
to the best of my knowledge, that didn't happen. What
98
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:05.519
did happen instead was that a vision was sparked in
99
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:08.959
me as a result of attending the nineteen sixty four
100
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:13.120
sixty five New York World's Fair when I was ages
101
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.920
ten and eleven, where the seeds for becoming a futurist
102
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:19.800
were planted. Of course I didn't know it at that time,
103
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:23.480
but in fact I still have a pin I got
104
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:26.839
there at the New York World's Fair, which says I
105
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.720
have seen the future. At twelve, I became an instant
106
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:33.720
fan of the original Star Trek series because it showed
107
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:37.879
me a version of the future that deeply resonated within me,
108
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:43.360
and that vision continued to crystallize over the ten years
109
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:46.800
that followed until I was blessed with being trained as
110
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:51.279
a futurist through what became my favorite history course as
111
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:54.759
an undergraduate. It was I forget if it was called
112
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:57.639
Survey of the Future or History of the Future, but
113
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:02.360
either way, that was the focus of that course. In
114
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:05.600
this episode's next segment. We'll get into root causes of
115
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:11.000
today's chronic chaos, divisiveness, stress, burnout, and planetary breakdown. But first,
116
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:14.279
as I already said, I want to offer a framing
117
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:18.439
that hopefully helps you make more sense of those symptoms.
118
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:22.720
Did you know that seventy five percent of people identify
119
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:27.680
themselves as chronically stressed today and seventy seven percent of
120
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:31.879
people in the United States identify themselves as being stressed
121
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:37.519
about the future of the United States. Well, I have
122
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.200
a term for this, not only in the United States,
123
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:45.480
but in many other places around the world. I have
124
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:49.399
come to call it societal traumatic stress disorder.
125
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:50.200
Instead of.
126
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:56.320
Post traumatic stress disorder, which is a psychological diagnosis for individuals,
127
00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:03.480
Societal traumatic stress disorder SD is a dysfunctional triad that
128
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:09.919
includes confused countries, confused individuals, and confused leaders. I call
129
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:16.200
the collective version fractured nation syndrome. Its symptoms include deep
130
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:22.960
divisiveness that tears the social fabric and cripples governance, manifesting
131
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:29.679
as isolationists, tribalism symptoms, suppressing band aids, and ideologically driven coercion.
132
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:35.399
I call the individual version of societal traumatic stress disorder
133
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:42.000
floundering citizen syndrome. Its symptoms include deep uncertainty about the
134
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:47.000
evolutionary leap humanity is undergoing, confusion about one's own role
135
00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:52.080
in that, and a resulting spiral into outraged rebellion without
136
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:57.799
vision or numb doubt helpless escapism. I call the leader
137
00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:06.039
and influencer version of STSD hollow Helm syndrome. Its symptoms
138
00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:11.039
include deep uncertainty about where the evolutionary leap humanity is
139
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:14.759
undergoing is taking us, and confusion about how to guide
140
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:19.600
that leap, leading to shrinking from power or wielding it
141
00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:28.000
in inflammatory, authoritarian, or performative ways. Well, what's fueling STSD?
142
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:33.960
You know, we're chronically stressed collectively, individually and as leaders
143
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:39.919
are influencers because we don't recognize the shadow adaptation spiral
144
00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:42.399
we're under. I'll say a little bit more about that.
145
00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:46.399
In a moment, we don't realize we're rising into a
146
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:50.639
new species beyond Homo sapiens and are choosing between two
147
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.960
versions of this new species, or we're instead trying to
148
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:59.080
go back to a distorted version of our past. We
149
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:02.960
don't have a compelling picture of the elevated future our
150
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:06.679
new species will bring about, and we don't have a
151
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:10.639
framework for helping such a future emerge in ourselves and
152
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:15.039
in how we impact the world around us. Now a
153
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:20.159
little bit more about what fuels the shadow adaptation spell.
154
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:23.519
We have a gift of being able to adapt to
155
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:29.279
a wide variety of circumstances and situations, and that capacity
156
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:37.399
for adaptation is golden except when it's not. When shadow adaptation.
157
00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:38.480
Is.
158
00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:43.960
What that's about is using our gift of adaptation to
159
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:49.159
adapt to the unacceptable, and in this case, in today's world,
160
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:57.120
too many of us have accepted faulty formulas for happiness, health, prosperity, patriotism,
161
00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:03.080
and problem solving. I've discussed those previously, so I'm not
162
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.960
going to go into detail about this other than to
163
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:14.159
say briefly that the faulty formula for happiness is thinking
164
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:18.960
that materialism is what buys us happiness. And there's nothing
165
00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:23.519
wrong with loving things and wealth and adventure and all
166
00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:26.559
of that, nothing wrong with that at all. But thinking
167
00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:30.480
that materialism is what will make us happy is a
168
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:35.840
big problem. The faulty formula for health is symptom control
169
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:40.720
of chronic conditions is health, I don't think so. The
170
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:50.159
faulty formula for prosperity is debtism not capitalism, or you know,
171
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:54.879
certainly sociopathic versions of capitalism would be a faulty formula.
172
00:12:55.240 --> 00:13:01.159
But debtism is what poses is capitalism today, and debtism
173
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:05.159
is borrowing against an uncertain future in order to prop
174
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:09.960
up a lifestyle in the present. Faulty formulas for patriotism
175
00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:16.639
where we confuse patriotism with narcissism national narcissism, and faulty
176
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:24.120
formulas for problem solving where we try to go for compromise,
177
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:31.000
which chronic compromise leads to the even worse alternative, which
178
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:35.879
is coercion. And these are faulty formulas.
179
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:36.240
For problem solving.
180
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:40.799
Well, the rest of this episode is going to dive
181
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:46.600
into the root causes of the symptoms of societal traumatic
182
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:51.480
stress disorder that I just described and what to look
183
00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:54.159
for in a solution and my version of that solution.
184
00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:59.559
After a short break, I will expose what I have
185
00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:05.320
come to view as the root causes of species traumatic
186
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:12.080
stress disorder, and those symptoms have to do with the
187
00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:18.360
three futures that we're currently choosing between, whether we know
188
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.440
it or not, and so I'm going to unpack what
189
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:28.799
those three alternative futures are and after that in the
190
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:32.600
segment after the coming one, I'll go into detail about
191
00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:35.360
what to look for in the way of a solution
192
00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:41.440
to these problems. So I'm doctor David Gruder. This is
193
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:45.039
the Reimagining Humanity's Future in your show on the Excellent
194
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:48.759
Broadcast Network, and we will be back momentarily.
195
00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:50.240
Welcome back.
196
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:56.759
Before the break, I discussed the dysfunctional triad comprising species
197
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:03.320
traumatic stress disorder, fractured nations syndrome, floundering citizen syndrome, and
198
00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:08.519
hollow Helm syndrome. In this segment, as you already know,
199
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.919
I'm going to delve into underrecognized root causes of STSD
200
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:21.600
and its symptoms. So what's fueling STSD? I'm going to
201
00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:25.120
build on what I said before the break, which was
202
00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:29.559
that we're chronically stressed collectively and individually and as leaders
203
00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:34.879
and influencers because we don't recognize the shadow adaptation spell
204
00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:39.919
we're under. We don't have a compelling I have a
205
00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:44.279
dream picture of our next species or trust that this
206
00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:49.200
elevated future can emerge, and we don't realize the uniquely
207
00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:54.159
impactful role we can play each of us in helping
208
00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:58.080
that happen. Well, why don't we have this clarity. Well,
209
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:02.360
it's because we don't fully recognize the three futures that
210
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:08.639
are currently vying for dominance. I call them regressionism, Homo
211
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:14.399
mahina or what's more commonly called transhumanism, and Homo spiritus,
212
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:20.600
which is among some also called homo luminous. So regressionism
213
00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:28.360
is the desire to return to an idealized, sanitized, revisionist
214
00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:33.840
version of the past that mostly focuses on rugged individualism.
215
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:38.840
And you know, the revision is the regressionism version of
216
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:39.519
the future is.
217
00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:41.159
Just simply impossible.
218
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:45.399
We aren't going to go backward, and the notion of
219
00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:51.679
what regressionists want to go backward too isn't possible anyway, because,
220
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:55.799
as I said, it's a distorted version of the past.
221
00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:59.440
It's a version of the past that selectively focuses on
222
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:05.200
things that were delicious about our past, while selectively pretending
223
00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:09.200
that the shadow aspects, the dysfunctional aspects of our past
224
00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:13.400
didn't exist, or justifying saying, well, that's just the price
225
00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:17.880
we have to pay for returning to this idealized, sanitized,
226
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:22.680
revisionist version of the past. Well, on the other hand,
227
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:27.799
there's gold in the regressionism version of the future that
228
00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:31.119
as I said, can't happen, But there's still gold that's
229
00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:33.640
worthy of bringing forward.
230
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:34.599
Into our future.
231
00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:40.279
And that gold is that a lot of regressionists really
232
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:47.279
understand that self governance is a crucial part of freedom
233
00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:51.519
in a free society, and self governance needs to be
234
00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:58.319
brought forward into our future. Regressionists also focus on ethics
235
00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:05.079
and morality. That is, underneath the ideological spin or the
236
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:13.240
culture or religion specific articulations of those things, it reflects universal,
237
00:18:13.400 --> 00:18:18.880
timeless values, virtues and ethics, and those timeless universal values,
238
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:22.359
virtues and ethics do deserve to be brought forward into
239
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:29.440
the future. The version of the future that could unfold
240
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:33.079
unlike regressionism, which people, as I said, are trying to
241
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:36.720
do at least some people are, even though it's not possible.
242
00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:40.119
It's not going to happen. But one of.
243
00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:43.799
Two versions of the future that could happen is, as
244
00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:46.960
I said, what I call homo machine and that others
245
00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:51.519
call transhumanism. And what that is is the twenty first
246
00:18:51.599 --> 00:19:00.400
century version of serfdom of being basically slaves. And there
247
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:05.839
are multiple versions of this, including the World Economic Forums version,
248
00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:11.000
Putin's version, China's version, but they all boil down to
249
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:14.519
the same thing, which is that a small group of
250
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:22.200
uber powerful and usually uber wealthy people think they're smarter
251
00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:27.039
than higher love, wisdom, and power, they're smarter than God,
252
00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:31.880
if you will, and that they are entitled to determine
253
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:36.039
the future for the rest of us, and that version
254
00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:41.240
of the future that they feel entitled to determine positions
255
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:44.960
us as commodities, human beings as commodities.
256
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:47.200
That are these the.
257
00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:55.200
Strange hybrid of biology and cybernetics, biology and technology, and
258
00:19:56.440 --> 00:20:01.480
where we're going to be persuaded that that version of
259
00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:04.440
our future is good for us and is going to
260
00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:12.000
make us happy and all of those nasty propaganda techniques
261
00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:17.000
to get us buy into a transhumanist future. On the
262
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:22.000
other hand, there's also gold in the homo mahin a
263
00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:26.559
transhumanist version of the future, just like there is gold
264
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:29.400
in the regressionist version of the future that I already
265
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:33.279
went over. The gold in the transhumanism or homo machhina
266
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:38.359
human machine version of the future understands that technology is
267
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:41.160
not going to go away. I mean, barring some kind
268
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:49.440
of cataclysmic planet wide breakdown of all technology. That's technology
269
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:52.039
is going to continue. And the gold in the transhumanist
270
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:58.880
perspective is that actually technology is neutral and it will
271
00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:04.640
continue to emerge and expand unless we completely self destruct.
272
00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:09.480
But transhumanism's version of how to use that technology is,
273
00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:13.440
in my judgment, dysfunctional and is going to bring about
274
00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:17.880
a version of the future that is harmful to humanity
275
00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:22.880
rather than the version that I believe we're intended to
276
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:28.200
emerge into. And that is the third version of the future.
277
00:21:28.359 --> 00:21:31.799
These three versions of versions of the future that are
278
00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:35.960
currently vying for dominance, and that is what I call
279
00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:39.960
a homo spiritus future that, as I mentioned before, some
280
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:45.880
call it homo luminous. There isn't a standardized name yet
281
00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:50.000
for this version of the future, but it's a version
282
00:21:50.039 --> 00:21:55.720
of the future in which we humans become worldly conduits
283
00:21:56.079 --> 00:22:01.119
of higher love, wisdom, and power who am body spiritual
284
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:07.079
self sovereignty that serves us all by harmonizing personal freedom,
285
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:10.960
which my term for that is self sovereignty with the
286
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:15.720
common good, which I call societal and planetary well being.
287
00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:24.400
And the distinction here between Homo sapiens and luminous is
288
00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:31.400
that Homo sapiens are human animals. We may have higher aspirations,
289
00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:39.319
but we are limited by our animal nature and homospirituists
290
00:22:39.359 --> 00:22:44.240
doesn't deny that we're in bodies. It recognizes that we're
291
00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:49.039
in bodies, but it doesn't buy into the notion that
292
00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:54.160
our biology is the boss of us. We have biological
293
00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:58.559
urges and biological tendencies and instincts and things like that
294
00:22:58.559 --> 00:23:02.400
that we need to remain fully awake about, conscious of
295
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:10.000
and uh and the boss of Whereas Homo sapiens are
296
00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:16.759
essentially victims of our biology uh, in Homo spiritus, we
297
00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:23.720
are worldly conduits of something higher, whatever your version of
298
00:23:24.119 --> 00:23:27.920
spirit source, whatever your version of higher love, wisdom, and
299
00:23:27.960 --> 00:23:29.160
power happens.
300
00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:31.160
To be and uh.
301
00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:35.359
And we are in bodies, but our bodies are not
302
00:23:35.480 --> 00:23:38.720
the boss of us. They are the instruments through whill
303
00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:44.440
through which we are those worldly conduits where we finally
304
00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:50.680
accomplish the highest goals of free societies. And those highest
305
00:23:50.759 --> 00:23:55.119
goal That highest goal has been forgotten in a lot
306
00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:59.599
of circles, which is to harmonize personal freedom or self
307
00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:04.440
sovereign with the common good, societal and planetary well being.
308
00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:09.519
Whereas in the old mindset that doesn't reflect the highest
309
00:24:09.559 --> 00:24:13.319
ideals of a free society, one is more important than
310
00:24:13.359 --> 00:24:17.240
the other. Some groups make personal freedom more important than
311
00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:20.480
the common good. Others make the common good more important
312
00:24:20.519 --> 00:24:26.079
than personal freedom. Both of those groups are denying the
313
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:30.440
actual challenge of free societies, which is the harmonizing of
314
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:38.039
those two polls. Because we are fundamentally social beings. So
315
00:24:39.519 --> 00:24:44.240
we're social beings with free will, so we have to
316
00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:48.599
somehow harmonize our free will, our personal freedom, with the
317
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:51.759
fact that we're designed to be in societies, to be
318
00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:58.119
in groups, because we're social beings. So what is Homo
319
00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:04.400
Spirituous's gold. Well, it incorporates the gold in regressionism and
320
00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:10.160
in transhumanism. So the gold in regressionism again is these
321
00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:17.079
transcendent values and virtues and ethics, and the gold and
322
00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:25.359
transhumanism is the technology. That technology is valuable. So Homospirituist's
323
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:33.400
gold is incorporating transcendent values, virtue, and ethics to ensure
324
00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:39.519
that technology serves those things instead of technology becoming the
325
00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:45.920
boss of us. And Homospirituist's focus is to help us
326
00:25:46.279 --> 00:25:52.119
leap into the most elevated future that we can possibly
327
00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:57.920
have as far as I'm able to tell as a futurist,
328
00:25:58.519 --> 00:26:04.200
and that future is what many people refer to as
329
00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:08.119
heaven on Earth and if you don't resonate with a
330
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:15.039
heaven metaphor, it's the stage beyond what those of you
331
00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:18.480
who know about the notion of self actualization, which was
332
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:24.119
a term coined in the mid nineteen hundreds by the
333
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:26.599
father of the Human Potential movement, or at least one
334
00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:31.480
of the prominent fathers of the Human Potential movement, Abraham Maslow,
335
00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:40.160
who called our highest level of human need self actualization. Well,
336
00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:44.480
what people who know about self actualization generally don't know
337
00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:48.720
is that toward the end of Abraham Maslow's life he
338
00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:53.880
started to talk about a stage beyond self actualization, which
339
00:26:53.920 --> 00:27:01.440
he called self transcendence. And Homo spiritus is self transcendence
340
00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:08.359
that's not abandoning being, you know, human beings, but where
341
00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:13.960
we're greater than just ourselves. So after another short break,
342
00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:16.839
we'll get into the heart of the matter, which is
343
00:27:16.880 --> 00:27:19.799
what to look for in a solution that helps a
344
00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:24.079
homo spirituist future emerge. I'm doctor David Gruder. This is
345
00:27:24.119 --> 00:27:27.279
the Reimagining Humanity's future and your show on the x
346
00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:33.319
Own broadcast network, and we will continue momentarily and we're back.
347
00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:37.759
Before the break, I delved into less recognized but vitally
348
00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:43.720
important root causes of species traumatic stress disorder, which have
349
00:27:43.799 --> 00:27:47.599
to do with not fully recognizing that we're in the
350
00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:53.480
process of choosing which future we are going to adopt
351
00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:59.079
as our next species. The regressionist version, as I mentioned,
352
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:04.759
which is not possis the homo mahina or transhumanist version
353
00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:08.920
of the future, which is possible and from my perspective,
354
00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:16.000
is not desirable, and the homo spiritus or homo luminous future, that,
355
00:28:16.680 --> 00:28:21.599
in my perspective as a futurist, is the desirable future.
356
00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:25.599
And as I mentioned in this segment, I'm going to
357
00:28:25.640 --> 00:28:29.440
reveal ingredients to look for when you've decided, if you
358
00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:34.799
decide this that becoming homo spirituse is for you. So
359
00:28:35.599 --> 00:28:41.839
what ingredients should you look for? Should nations and communities
360
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:46.599
and businesses and citizens and leaders and influencers and helping
361
00:28:46.640 --> 00:28:53.720
professionals like clergy, psychotherapists, coaches, educators, what should we all
362
00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:58.400
be looking for when we want a homo spiritus future
363
00:28:58.839 --> 00:29:02.359
to be the version of the future that prevails among
364
00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:05.000
the three versions of the future that are vying for
365
00:29:05.079 --> 00:29:10.400
dominance right now. Well, from my perspective, a solution needs
366
00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:15.559
to include the following things. It needs to provide us
367
00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:20.079
with ways to get free from our shadow adaptation spell,
368
00:29:20.839 --> 00:29:25.519
the societal and personal spells that block our vision of
369
00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:30.400
what's really possible for our future and block our power
370
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:36.559
to actualize that best possible future. A solution needs to
371
00:29:36.680 --> 00:29:42.440
include clarity about a highly compelling I have a dream
372
00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:45.319
picture of our next species.
373
00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:47.640
A solution needs.
374
00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:52.119
To include clarity about how this elevated future can emerge,
375
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:57.720
and clarity about what each of our unique roles in
376
00:29:57.839 --> 00:30:03.720
helping that future happen. All A solution needs to include
377
00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:09.519
ways to identify and build our capacities that equip us
378
00:30:09.799 --> 00:30:15.400
to actualize our role in that highly compelling I have
379
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:18.400
a dream picture of our next species and of the future,
380
00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:26.480
and a solution should include ways to amplify our impact
381
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:30.720
with the capacities that we're elevating so that we can
382
00:30:31.400 --> 00:30:36.640
fulfill our unique role in helping that future happen. In
383
00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:42.960
addition that framework, that solution should be so integrated and
384
00:30:43.079 --> 00:30:47.160
so all purpose and practical, and so fully customizable to
385
00:30:47.319 --> 00:30:51.559
each of us and to each needs, from our individual development,
386
00:30:51.640 --> 00:30:57.319
to relationships, to our communities, to businesses, to nations, to
387
00:30:58.839 --> 00:31:03.759
all of humanity and and the planet. So fully customizable
388
00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:07.880
for all of those purposes, and so step by step implementable,
389
00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:13.519
so clear roadmap that it can be mastered once and
390
00:31:13.559 --> 00:31:20.279
then used for everything again by individuals, communities, businesses, educators,
391
00:31:20.319 --> 00:31:27.680
also including media and influencers, helping professionals, clergy coaches and psychotherapists,
392
00:31:27.839 --> 00:31:31.920
and government officials elected and appointed, in addition to hired
393
00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:40.880
civil service employees. My version of this solution for effectively
394
00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:47.680
transitioning from Homo sapiens to Homo spiritus is what I
395
00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:53.559
call the Spark Blueprint. And again, as I said at
396
00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:58.519
the top of this episode, Spark is an acronism and
397
00:31:58.559 --> 00:32:03.319
an achronism. Yeah, it is an achronism, an acronym that
398
00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:08.240
is SPA R C. So the final letter in Spark,
399
00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:10.960
in the Spark Blueprint is the letter C rather than
400
00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:15.519
the letter K. And I'll unpack for you what those
401
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:20.279
five ingredients in the Spark Blueprint are, because they're my
402
00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:26.799
version of the solution that I just described that is
403
00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:31.920
going to enable a Homo spirituous future to emerge in
404
00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:37.240
each of us individually and all of us collectively. So
405
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:42.920
the S in Spark is Shatter spells. The S stands
406
00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:48.119
for shatter shatter, the spells that block us from being
407
00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:54.559
able to picture an enlightened future, a truly expansive future
408
00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:59.960
for humanity and ourselves, and to trust that that future
409
00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:06.519
can actually emerge. The P in Spark is about picturing
410
00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:13.119
what that future is. And picturing that future requires that
411
00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:17.240
we understand what I unpacked in the last segment about
412
00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:21.440
the three futures that are vying for dominance right now.
413
00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:26.240
The regressionist version of the future that, as I continue
414
00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:29.759
to say, even though some people are pursuing it, it
415
00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:34.079
just can't happen because it's it's a delusional version of
416
00:33:34.079 --> 00:33:43.200
the past anyway, sanitized, idealized, the homo mahina transhumanist version
417
00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:47.400
of the future, which as you've heard me say, I
418
00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:51.319
believe as a futurist, is not in humanity's best interests
419
00:33:51.359 --> 00:33:57.319
to adopt adopt, and the homospiritus or homo luminous version
420
00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:00.279
of the future. So to be able to picture sure
421
00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:04.519
the future we want by understanding the versions of the
422
00:34:04.519 --> 00:34:08.119
future that are vying for dominance right now. So that's
423
00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:13.639
the p in spark. Picture the future. The A in
424
00:34:13.719 --> 00:34:19.280
spark is align your dual pronged purpose with that future
425
00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:24.159
that you want to see emerge. So each of us
426
00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:29.559
has a role in helping humanity's best future emerge, and
427
00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:34.119
obviously a role in helping our own best future emerge.
428
00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:37.679
And that role is unique to each of us because
429
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:41.679
none of us can do all of what's needed for
430
00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:46.360
our best future to emerge. However, when each of us
431
00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:53.760
is doing our appointed unique part in helping that future emerge, collectively,
432
00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:57.519
all bases that need to be covered get covered so
433
00:34:57.639 --> 00:35:00.519
that that future can emerge. What I I mean by
434
00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:07.239
dual pronged purpose, Well, in the purpose based world, most
435
00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:13.519
purpose based training systems focus on one aspect of our
436
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:19.000
higher purpose of our calling, which is what I refer
437
00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:23.679
to as our impact mission, the aspect of our purpose
438
00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:27.639
that has to do with the impact, the influence that
439
00:35:27.679 --> 00:35:32.239
we are uniquely called to have in our spheres of influence.
440
00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:39.360
But there's another purpose that is just as important and
441
00:35:39.519 --> 00:35:46.239
is meant to dance with our impact mission, our impact purpose.
442
00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:50.760
And I call that other purpose, the other part of
443
00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:56.519
our dual pronged purpose, our soul growth mission. So as
444
00:35:56.559 --> 00:36:00.559
I see it as a psychologist, all of ours are
445
00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:05.679
called to grow and develop and become more fully who
446
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:10.119
we are through over the course of our lifetime to
447
00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:16.599
develop into in my bias Homo spiritus, and so we
448
00:36:16.719 --> 00:36:19.199
have we each have a soul growth mission. We have
449
00:36:19.679 --> 00:36:24.920
a theme that, whether we know it or not, carries
450
00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:29.880
across the span of our lifetime because it's that big,
451
00:36:29.920 --> 00:36:33.599
it's that audacious, that it's going to take at the
452
00:36:33.719 --> 00:36:37.000
very least the better part of our lifetime to fully
453
00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:44.440
master in chapters in gradual unfold unfoldment, and that soul
454
00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:48.760
growth mission dances with our impact mission. They need each other,
455
00:36:48.920 --> 00:36:52.599
meaning that our soul growth mission we need to be
456
00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:57.920
moving forward with that in order to actualize our impact
457
00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:03.159
mission and actual life. Our impact mission is meant to
458
00:37:03.400 --> 00:37:06.960
help us emerge more fully into.
459
00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:08.239
Our soul growth mission.
460
00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:12.559
So the A in Spark is align your dual pronged
461
00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:17.119
purpose our soul growth and impact missions. Once we're clear
462
00:37:17.199 --> 00:37:22.280
about our dual pronged purpose in helping our desired future emerge,
463
00:37:22.760 --> 00:37:27.440
then we're in a position to take to focus on
464
00:37:28.000 --> 00:37:31.559
the R in the Spark blueprint, which stands for Rise,
465
00:37:31.920 --> 00:37:36.599
Rise your capacities to actualize your calling. So this is
466
00:37:36.679 --> 00:37:40.000
where when we've got that clarity about our purpose, then
467
00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:43.760
we are in a position to identify which capacities we
468
00:37:43.840 --> 00:37:47.519
need to elevate. Each of us individually uniquely need to
469
00:37:47.559 --> 00:37:52.280
elevate in order to live fully live our dual pronged purpose,
470
00:37:52.320 --> 00:38:00.840
our calling, and then the A the c rather Spark
471
00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:07.199
is to collaborate with others so that we amplify our
472
00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:12.559
impact with the capacities that we've developed in order to
473
00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:17.000
actualize our dual pronged purpose in helping that future emerge.
474
00:38:17.239 --> 00:38:21.760
This should sound very, very common sense. The Spark blueprint
475
00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:26.760
isn't a new thing. It's simply an articulation. I'm functioning
476
00:38:26.800 --> 00:38:33.679
as a reporter, articulating the future of human potential that
477
00:38:34.280 --> 00:38:38.639
has those five ingredients. Shatter spells, picture the future, align
478
00:38:38.679 --> 00:38:43.199
your dual pronged purpose, rise your capacities to actualize your
479
00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:49.400
dual pronged purpose you're calling, and collaborate to amplify your
480
00:38:49.559 --> 00:38:57.239
impact with those capacities that you are elevating as part
481
00:38:57.360 --> 00:39:03.239
of fulfilling your dual pronged purpose. Well, my hope is
482
00:39:03.280 --> 00:39:07.719
that at this point in this episode, you have signed
483
00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:13.039
on to a homospirituse future, that that's the future you want,
484
00:39:13.159 --> 00:39:18.880
instead of a homo machna transhumanist future or investing in
485
00:39:19.159 --> 00:39:22.639
trying to make a regressionist version of the future happen
486
00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:27.519
when it can't. That you've signed on to homospirituse and
487
00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:32.400
that you understand that the symptoms that we're experiencing individually
488
00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:38.400
and as a society, of those dysfunctional symptoms are simply
489
00:39:38.519 --> 00:39:43.320
symptoms of us emerging into a Homo spiritussee future or
490
00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:46.400
trying to decide symptoms of trying to decide which of
491
00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:51.599
those futures we're going to align with. So after our
492
00:39:51.719 --> 00:39:55.239
upcoming break, we are going to return for this episode's
493
00:39:55.280 --> 00:40:00.280
final segment, during which I'll be providing you with a
494
00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:05.760
powerful way to get started on your journey toward a
495
00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:11.840
Homo spiritus future through the Spark Blueprint. I'm doctor David Gruder.
496
00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:15.920
This is the Reimagining Humanity's Future in your show on
497
00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:20.639
the Xeon Broadcast Network, and will return shortly.
498
00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:23.199
Before the break.
499
00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:26.719
I unpacked ingredients to look for when you want to
500
00:40:26.800 --> 00:40:33.639
become Homo spiritus and meaning human spirits Again, as I
501
00:40:33.760 --> 00:40:38.039
already mentioned during this final segment of this episode, called
502
00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:45.039
reimagining Humanity's evolution accelerating the emergence of Homo spiritus in
503
00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:49.159
our lifetime, and that title should now make complete sense
504
00:40:49.239 --> 00:40:54.000
to you. I will reveal how I provide what I
505
00:40:54.119 --> 00:40:57.639
suggested in the last segment that you look for, how
506
00:40:57.920 --> 00:41:02.760
I can and the resources that I have to help
507
00:41:03.039 --> 00:41:10.480
you on your Spark Blueprint journey toward homospirituse, and I'll
508
00:41:10.559 --> 00:41:15.000
let you know how to access that framework, that wisdom,
509
00:41:15.079 --> 00:41:20.880
that content, and with a free gift by the way.
510
00:41:20.639 --> 00:41:22.760
That I promised at the beginning of this episode.
511
00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:26.760
And after that, I'll share the big takeaway that I
512
00:41:26.800 --> 00:41:29.800
hope you will have gained from this episode, followed by
513
00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:32.079
my closing comments.
514
00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:36.239
So how do I.
515
00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:41.519
Help the shift from Homo sapiens to Homo spiritus happens? Well,
516
00:41:41.559 --> 00:41:45.920
as you already know, I do that through the Spark Blueprint,
517
00:41:46.199 --> 00:41:49.960
through making that available and as far as I know,
518
00:41:50.960 --> 00:41:54.840
as I said before, this is the only integrated, practical,
519
00:41:54.920 --> 00:42:00.360
step by step framework for human potential, for elevating human
520
00:42:00.440 --> 00:42:06.480
potential that enables us to rise from Homo sapiens into
521
00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:14.719
our new desired Homo spiritus species instead of pursuing regressionist
522
00:42:14.840 --> 00:42:21.480
fantasies or a transhumanist future. So that Spark Blueprint, then,
523
00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:26.599
is my version of the all purpose fully customizable master
524
00:42:26.719 --> 00:42:31.159
once used for everything framework for helping each of us
525
00:42:31.199 --> 00:42:37.079
individually and collectively emerge into a homo spirituse future. And
526
00:42:37.719 --> 00:42:41.400
it's all purpose in that it can be used. It
527
00:42:41.440 --> 00:42:47.480
can be adapted for the purpose of individual development, community development,
528
00:42:47.599 --> 00:42:54.519
business development, reformulating our education system, reimagining or reclaiming what
529
00:42:54.559 --> 00:42:58.679
the media are supposed to be about, which is adult
530
00:42:58.960 --> 00:43:08.360
education mechanisms rather than propaganda mouthpieces, and utilized by the government,
531
00:43:09.159 --> 00:43:14.280
the government elected and appointed officials to help a Homo
532
00:43:14.360 --> 00:43:21.119
spiritus future emerge. Why is this worth looking into? Well,
533
00:43:21.880 --> 00:43:27.599
because I am a psychologist who is an applied futurist
534
00:43:27.719 --> 00:43:33.760
with a range of interdisciplinary expertise that, in my opinion,
535
00:43:33.880 --> 00:43:38.159
is required to build this kind of framework for helping
536
00:43:38.239 --> 00:43:44.159
a Homo spiritus future emerge. And it's one thing if
537
00:43:44.199 --> 00:43:47.760
I claim that I have interdisciplinary expertise, but you shouldn't
538
00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:51.880
believe me simply because I claim it. But the reason
539
00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:56.400
that my claims are credible is because of the categories
540
00:43:56.800 --> 00:44:00.960
in which I've received personal and book awards in addition
541
00:44:01.039 --> 00:44:05.760
to having been named America's Integrity Expert. And those awards
542
00:44:05.800 --> 00:44:12.000
that I've received have spanned the areas of social change,
543
00:44:12.239 --> 00:44:21.199
politics and society, culture, creation, conscious business, visionary, leadership, health,
544
00:44:21.239 --> 00:44:28.639
and wellness, transformational psychology, and self help. When one of
545
00:44:28.639 --> 00:44:32.639
my books came out in two thousand and eight, called
546
00:44:32.639 --> 00:44:37.559
The New IQ, the publisher of that book said that
547
00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:41.880
he had never seen an author receive book awards in
548
00:44:41.920 --> 00:44:46.960
as the diverse range of categories as that book received
549
00:44:47.079 --> 00:44:53.039
and the personal awards that accompanied that. So don't believe
550
00:44:53.119 --> 00:44:57.880
me because I claim this. The awards that I've received
551
00:44:58.400 --> 00:45:05.000
are what prod the credibility to believe that I'm interdisciplinetary
552
00:45:05.360 --> 00:45:13.880
enough to articulate a next version of human potential that
553
00:45:14.239 --> 00:45:18.840
is all about helping Homo spiritus emerge. And I'm going
554
00:45:18.880 --> 00:45:22.960
to say something brief about this next version of human potential.
555
00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:27.559
I've been involved with the Human Potential movement in a
556
00:45:27.599 --> 00:45:32.360
wide range of roles, from research to leadership, to administrative,
557
00:45:32.519 --> 00:45:39.760
to training, et cetera, et cetera, since the nineteen seventies.
558
00:45:40.239 --> 00:45:43.800
And what I was proud of in the second half
559
00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:47.639
of the twentieth century is that the Human Potential movement
560
00:45:48.159 --> 00:45:54.559
was focused primarily on healing the mind body spirit split,
561
00:45:55.039 --> 00:46:02.880
so reuniting us into whole individual human beings by reconnecting mind, body,
562
00:46:02.880 --> 00:46:08.920
in spirit. And that wasn't meant to be the end
563
00:46:09.239 --> 00:46:13.360
of the human potential movement. It was meant to be
564
00:46:13.840 --> 00:46:19.960
the first phase of the twentieth century human potential movement that,
565
00:46:20.039 --> 00:46:23.360
in my opinion, is meant to give way to the
566
00:46:23.440 --> 00:46:29.079
twenty first century evolution of human potential, which is an
567
00:46:29.119 --> 00:46:33.960
evolution from mind, body, spirit reunification, which is important. We
568
00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:39.039
don't leave that behind, but we recognize that it's limited
569
00:46:39.760 --> 00:46:43.639
and needs more because reunifying mind, body, and spirit is
570
00:46:43.679 --> 00:46:48.039
basically me, me and me, and the next evolution of
571
00:46:48.119 --> 00:46:51.519
human potential needs to shift from me, me and me
572
00:46:52.239 --> 00:46:58.840
to me, we and us all, or translated into individual terms.
573
00:46:59.639 --> 00:47:03.719
Me heart is our own authenticity, being who we truly are.
574
00:47:04.280 --> 00:47:10.280
The we part is collaborative relationships rather than compromise and
575
00:47:10.360 --> 00:47:17.159
coercive relationships. So that's the we part, and the us
576
00:47:17.239 --> 00:47:23.559
all part is impact. It's about our responsibility to in
577
00:47:23.639 --> 00:47:29.760
our own unique ways help society, help our spheres of influence,
578
00:47:29.800 --> 00:47:34.840
the parts of society that we function in elevate into homospirituse.
579
00:47:35.239 --> 00:47:40.079
So we're moving in the human potential movement from me,
580
00:47:40.079 --> 00:47:43.559
me and me, which was necessary as a starting place
581
00:47:43.679 --> 00:47:46.920
in the second half of the twentieth century, to me, we,
582
00:47:47.039 --> 00:47:50.400
and us all, which is what's necessary now in the
583
00:47:50.440 --> 00:47:56.119
twenty first century to move from Homo sapiens into homospirituse.
584
00:47:57.599 --> 00:48:01.880
Now I'm gifting you with a way to decide if
585
00:48:02.199 --> 00:48:07.239
a homo spirituous future, if the unification of authenticity, connection
586
00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:10.400
and impact of me, we and us all as our
587
00:48:10.440 --> 00:48:15.960
new definition of a human that is greater than only
588
00:48:16.119 --> 00:48:23.519
self self transcendent as Maslow referred to it. To decide
589
00:48:23.519 --> 00:48:26.079
if this is for you and if it is to
590
00:48:26.159 --> 00:48:29.519
get started. And that gift that I have for you
591
00:48:30.119 --> 00:48:36.360
is the first two books in my Spark trilogy. So
592
00:48:36.440 --> 00:48:42.559
my Spark Trilogy is my current my new three book
593
00:48:42.840 --> 00:48:48.800
series new as of recording this in November twenty twenty five,
594
00:48:49.840 --> 00:48:53.880
and the first book in that trilogy is called Rising Luminous.
595
00:48:54.719 --> 00:48:59.920
It's a modern fable for fractured times because I have
596
00:49:00.159 --> 00:49:05.159
found that fiction makes it easier to lean into a
597
00:49:05.199 --> 00:49:10.440
new vision, especially science fiction and fantasy. And I'm really
598
00:49:10.559 --> 00:49:12.599
a fan of science fiction and fantasy.
599
00:49:13.079 --> 00:49:14.480
But of all the books that.
600
00:49:14.440 --> 00:49:17.719
I've written and been a part of over the decades,
601
00:49:18.079 --> 00:49:22.360
this is my first book that is fiction rather than nonfiction.
602
00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:25.719
All of my other books have been nonfiction. So Rising
603
00:49:25.800 --> 00:49:29.599
Luminous is the first book that I'm gifting to you.
604
00:49:30.920 --> 00:49:33.719
The second book in the Spark Trilogy that I'm also
605
00:49:33.800 --> 00:49:38.440
gifting to you is called The Spark Scroll Timeless Wisdom
606
00:49:38.480 --> 00:49:43.440
for Transcendent Living, and in the Spark Scroll, it unpacks
607
00:49:43.480 --> 00:49:48.519
and reveals the full content of this mystical scroll that's
608
00:49:48.599 --> 00:49:55.119
referred to throughout the Rising Luminous Fable for Fractured Times,
609
00:49:55.159 --> 00:49:59.159
which is Book one. So Book one refers to the
610
00:49:59.199 --> 00:50:05.400
Spark Scroll. Book two unpacks the Spark Scroll, and then
611
00:50:05.960 --> 00:50:10.079
in book three, if Rising Luminous and the Spark Scroll
612
00:50:10.320 --> 00:50:13.800
resonate for you, the third book in the trilogy is
613
00:50:14.159 --> 00:50:19.280
Homospirituse Awakens the Spark Blueprint to Shatter spells and sculpt
614
00:50:19.599 --> 00:50:23.440
a transcendent tomorrow. If you want me to guide you

637
00:52:03.840 --> 00:52:05.039
We are rising.
638
00:52:05.519 --> 00:52:08.039
It's time to see through the spin so we can
639
00:52:08.119 --> 00:52:13.679
realize our highest human potential by embodying Homo spiritus individually
640
00:52:14.039 --> 00:52:18.239
and collectively. I've offered a version of the dream to
641
00:52:18.480 --> 00:52:23.079
rally around and a plan to actualize it in this episode,
642
00:52:23.400 --> 00:52:27.039
and I hope you've taken that on board and have
643
00:52:27.199 --> 00:52:34.159
recognized that this is for us as individuals, tribes, communities, businesses, educators,
644
00:52:34.280 --> 00:52:39.079
