TODAY’S REALITY
Since the beginning of structured civilization, human beings have had an aversion to facing trauma. Specifically, shame, guilt and fear. This pattern has been carried down from generation to generation leading to transgenerational epigenetic trauma.
This has manifested itself in social structures and cultural norms that have created the highest rates in human history of depression, war, greed, illness, obesity, destruction of the planet, political unrest, and economic instability. Equally, at this time we are met with the most exciting and unique opportunity in human history.
If we rise to this occasion and weave wisdom and healing into the power of technology, worldwide communication, and A.I. we have the opportunity to create a Class One Civilization, a liberated humanity.
