Exploring an answer to a question that seems to be on more and more people’s minds.

Since I started this work in 2009, I’ve been asked this question at least 100 times. I give the same answer now as I did back then because it’s honest to how I have felt and still feel about the state of our world and where we might be headed.

When you’re on the internet or watch the news, there’s no shortage of claims that we’re about to see our entire planet collapse via climate change or ‘unhinged leaders’ of various countries. As all of those claims are made, with partial truth mixed in to each, I find very few voices that provide a sense of settling and hope.

I feel I used to be one of those voices that reached far and wide with a message of hope and groundedness. The tens of thousands of emails we’ve received over the last 16 years suggest that statement is true. But with all that has happened to our company and the changes in the conscious media field over the last 5 or 6 years, it often feels like panic, fear, and drama have won out, leaving more hopeful voices in the background.

And so I write this because, regardless of how far it goes, I think it needs to be said.

Where Are We Headed?

I was doing a podcast episode with Daniel Pinchbeck on the CE Podcast a few weeks ago (which I recommend checking out.) At the end of the episode, he actually posed a question to me. It was something like: “Do you feel like this is the end times, the apocalypse, the end of the world?” He asked this as he is quite concerned about the Trump admin and what he feels they are doing to America and thus the rest of the world.

I personally don’t feel the destruction of our planet or way of life would be the result of Trump or any singular recent event, but as a result of a much wider picture. So I answered the question like this:

“The way I honestly feel about it is, speaking totally from the gut here, I feel deep down like deep, deep, deep, deep down that even if we all died – I don’t want that but – it would be okay. There’s a part of my consciousness that has experienced something beyond this physical body and I cannot deny the fact that apparent in the way I see the world is this understanding that like “it’s OKAY.”

But this does not make me passive. It does not make me not care. It does not make me not feel the emotions of what’s going on. But there is a part of me that is like, “it is what it is.” Look, we’re having this conversation. I dedicate large amounts of hours of my life trying to help with this situation.

I see all the challenges we’re going through as an opportunity. Like anything else, it’s an evolutionary pressure. The more things are extreme the more we have to converse. The more people have to come out of the slumber and the illusion.

If it feels like it’s too easy to just live day-to-day life, we’re probably not going to question things, especially given the state of humanity’s existing consciousness as a collective. And by that I mean, it’s very easy for us to just kind of coast along, going to work, coming home, repeat, repeat, repeat. But when things are so extreme that we have to come out of that, there’s an opportunity.
