The Quest for Elevated Consciousness Amid Global Challenges

Embark on an enlightening journey with host Shaman Isis as she sits down with the visionary author Ann P. Surya to untangle the profound connections between the evolution of human consciousness and our beloved planet's own path. In a conversation where we confront the most pressing issues of our era, we uncover how attuning to higher consciousness is not a luxury but a necessity for addressing the mental health crises, homelessness, and climate change that threaten the fabric of our societies. Ann's groundbreaking book echoes my mission to elevate human awareness, offering us a lens to view Earth as a sentient partner in our collective growth.

As we peel back the layers of our present reality, we recognize the adolescent-like tumult humanity endures, urging our societal structures to mature just as we must. Ann and I discuss the awakening within the mental health sphere, where speaking out becomes a beacon of hope against the shadow of oppressive systems. We unravel how quantum physics interlaces with spirituality, suggesting a future where science and metaphysical insights coalesce. Surya points out the destructive grip of greed on our institutions, spotlighting the climate crisis while also bringing to light the grassroots movements that are seeding transformative change. Our exchange is a vibrant tapestry, illustrating the vital role of intuition and open-mindedness in spearheading a worldwide renaissance towards a sustainable and enlightened existence.

Finally, our dialog ventures into the essence

Speaker 1: 0:57

America is at a crossroad. Never before have we stumbled so spectacularly on the world stage as we have in recent years. The pandemic has brought many of our biggest issues to light. Homelessness and the mental health crisis have reached epidemic levels. Freedom of speech is under threat. The pandemic has never been more toxic and corporate greed has reached heartbreaking levels. The climate crisis has brought a dramatic increase in natural disasters. Meanwhile, we stand on the threshold of artificial intelligence, which could serve as the best tool to help us deal with many of these challenges. If we can keep the power out of the hands of a few, how do we deal with these many issues? By speaking radically, honestly about these challenges and their solutions, by becoming more enlightened to the facts and raising human consciousness, we can use this unprecedented moment in human history to create the most extraordinary advancement in our collective experience. I'm host Shaman Isis. Welcome to Citizen Journalist. Memory Mansion is the number one best-selling new book. Find out what everyone is talking about on Amazon, barnes, noble and shamanisiscom.

Speaker 2: 2:30

Hi and welcome to Citizen Journalist. I'm your host, shaman Isis, and we have got an amazing episode for you. Today we are going to be talking about my favorite topic consciousness with Arthur and Seria. I am very excited about this and nice to see you.

Speaker 3: 2:47

Hey, it's just totally awesome to see you. Shaman Isis Great to connect and it's such a fabulous topic to talk about, because we sure need more consciousness from this earth.

Speaker 2: 2:57

Yes, I was so fascinated when I got to familiar. When I first got familiar with your book because it was so in keeping with my own mission, which is to raise human consciousness, I was loving that this incredible woman has done a book on this very topic. Can you tell me what share some about the book? I've got so many questions.

Speaker 3: 3:21

Sure, in my spiritual journey I've done a lot of work in the ageless wisdom, done a lot of practical work. About 20 years ago I started writing. The way I write is literally well, the way I started was that I would literally wake up in the morning with sentences in my brain and I'd be dragged out of bed literally. I had to drag myself out of bed at like four or five in the morning. I'd write for two or three hours and a lot of it would be information I didn't know. Now I'm very discerning about picking up stuff from the inner levels because we have to filter very carefully because there's just as much rubbish on the inner levels as there is in our physical world. We've polluted them both very effectively. So I'm very, very discerning. I tune in very, very carefully through my heart and seek at all times to discern with the truth. So I've written on and off for these 20 years, been along lots of other journeys and lots of other things have happened, but the last couple of years I've been writing really intensely with a real focus on a different perspective to the ageless wisdom that I've not myself perceived or read or been taught about, and that is about our relationship with the earth in the bigger picture of the conscious journey, because a lot of our spiritual pathways, religious pathways, have all been about self, with a little bit of touch point about how we relate to others, how we care for the earth and be kind and lots of other really valuable, positive things. The information that I've been writing is a lot about the reality that we are part of this amazing being, the earth. It is a living being. It's on its own journey of consciousness, and humanity, as the creatures on this earth that have the capacity the greatest capacity, I'll say to be really conscious, have a role in journeying with the earth in her consciousness.

Speaker 3: 5:20

Now. She's going through some significant changes right now and we've got to keep up. It's creating huge pressure and I know you're very active in exploring the issues around mental health. It's a real challenge because the frameworks we understand, the things we thought we knew, they're dissolving around us in so many ways and this is because the earth is on a spiritual journey.

Speaker 3: 5:43

We have to take that journey with her and it is all about consciousness, because consciousness is what lines us up with the higher intent, purpose, meaning I mean we can say, okay, I wake up in the morning I'm conscious. Well, what are you conscious of? You know it's like for me, consciousness is completely about that part of our understanding that makes meaning out of our journey. It's not just stuff. We're aware of stuff. We can say that happened, I did this, these things unfolded, blah blah. But we understand why, at least to some degree. That's how we start to be consciousness and in relationship to the earth, and that's what my book is all about the human journey, the soul, the planetary consciousness, our evolutionary path in a spiritual context. So that, in a little bit bigger nutshell, that's what my book is about and what I write about and teach.

Speaker 2: 6:44

Well, it's a big topic, it's a grand topic, and it's difficult to try to give a sound bite to something so huge. So you brought up a few things that I think are really interesting there.

Speaker 2: 6:57

So it's funny that humanity, because of our intellect, has convinced themselves that we are some superior being to the planet and that we give ourselves so much power and it's like the planet has been around a lot longer than we have and did real good without our help. If you will, it makes me think sometimes that the planet must be like oh, would these ants just get off and go away somewhere? Because it's really I mean, energetically we're all connected, but it must be similar in terms of the planet's experience, and for some people this may be a bit esoteric, but it's interesting. The ancients have talked about how everything is connected and we're all part of a greater consciousness the planet, humanity. We are all a part of the body of consciousness and I think when we start separating it too much, as when we end up getting lost and giving power to things, when we're all energetically connected. Would you agree with that?

Speaker 3: 8:01

those thoughts on Absolutely Shaman Isis and also, I think you see that, understanding it from our evolutionary journey. Well, no, let me backtrack. There's a huge amount of development going on now about nature bathing, about connecting with the earth, about being earth for your mental health, about connecting with gardens, with trees, about spending time in nature to heal yourself. We're actually bringing it into our mental consciousness that, in fact, this is really important. It's such a fascinating thing to differentiate what goes on in our minds and what goes on in our spiritual sense, because what I understand is that we are gifted with our physical bodies, our emotional bodies and our mental bodies, so we can be physically here and take action, we can feel and we can think. Well, we sometimes think, but this is about helping us to live in this three-dimensional world, as some people say, or about just being here as human beings on this earth Incredibly valuable, because if we didn't have that, we'd have no reason to be anchored here in this world, we'd have no yearning to be here and we'd disappear. You know, we'd not be anchored energetically. But once we start to open up to the deeper meaning of life, those three elements our physical, our emotional and our mental selves our thinking and emotional feeling self particularly need to let go of their control or we need to encourage them to open. You know, because the impulse to engage with a deeper meaning doesn't come from the mind. We can't think our way into our hearts.

Speaker 3: 9:56

Our thinking is all about analysing, dissecting things until we have simple choices yes, no, that's what the mind is really good at. Evaluate this, evaluate that, work out the pros, work out the cons. That's what mind is for. It's for dividing things, for separating things into things. We can choose or not choose. Great if you need to make that kind of choice, but not great if you're trying to create a wholeness, a oneness, a compassionate world, because I mean the world today. Look at it. It is full of that divisiveness. If you don't do this, we won't do that. If you do this, I'll do that. It's full of divisiveness and separativeness, both at a personal and national and global levels. It's not the path for peace that we all look for. We have to learn to moderate that tendency for the mind to take charge and say I'm in control here and I'm deciding if it's EA or not. We need to have another way.

Speaker 3: 11:02

That's almost always ego Absolutely, and we need to find another way of finding. I mean, admittedly, we all look for a sense of security, certainty, clarity in what we do. We need to find other ways, because our mind can't take us into that journey clearly enough. We have to find another way, and for me that's to go into the heart. Lots of people find it in different ways. It doesn't matter what you call it, but it's about finding a place and a space in your own being. We can say, yeah, that rings true. I don't care what my little chatterbox mind is saying, that rings true. Let me then work with it and figure out how I can make it true in my life. And that's the journey.

Speaker 2: 11:43

Yeah, you know, it's interesting you saying that you brought to mind some images of the future of education, and so we're dismantling oppressive systems that have been around for a really long time and, while they may have helped us function 100 years ago, they've become highly corrupted. And it's interesting is that I remember a couple of years ago talking to a few people and mentioning that we were entering the New Earth and it was the age of Aquarius, and they were like oh Huey, nonsense. And I'm like no, I'm actually talking about real world, practical.

Speaker 3: 12:09

Excuse my.

Speaker 2: 12:10

French. I'm the shaman that cuts this. The ship's about to hit the fan and I'm like you know, in a good but I'm like in a good way, the poison is going to come to the surface and it will be the age of the average person come stepping up and saying this isn't working. It's time to realign, and one of the things that my visions showed me was the future of education, where we teach our children not only how to manage their energy, but how to listen to themselves.

Speaker 3: 12:36

How to play.

Speaker 2: 12:38

How to go with in meditation and yoga or exercise, learning how to be still and silent, are going to be really hugely important. Do you see that as where we're at as well in terms of what's going on in the world?

Speaker 3: 12:55

Absolutely. And I think if you look at history, you know we've had a couple of thousand years of focusing on a savior kind of model of spirituality. You know a single teacher, like Jesus, like Buddha and many others in between, muhammad, and look, you can list lots and lots of really inspiring spiritual beings who walked on this earth for thousands of years, but it's been a teacher and a following. Well, that's not the age we're in, where? Because I mean we don't have individuals who are going to stand up and save the world and we can't wait because they're not coming. That's my insight and understanding. We need to gain understanding ourselves.

Speaker 3: 13:36

To me, humanity is like a teenager. We're at that point where we think we know more than we do. We don't want an authority, a parent advice, except sometimes we do, and we're trying to figure out how to be responsible for our world and we are responsible for our actions collectively on this earth and we need to learn to step up. And I think it's utterly brilliant to help kids engage in that way. It's so important because right now, we teach them to constrain, to be locked in a box of mental thinking and paradigms that belong to the past. It doesn't help. And then, of course, if you're cemented into those and they don't work for you, well, either you have a spiritual breakthrough or you have a mental breakdown, or maybe both, and that's the sad truth of it. We're using models that don't work. It's creating pressure on our whole being.

Speaker 2: 14:32

Yeah, I think one of the reasons that the mental health crisis has reached what there's twofold. I think it's partly due to the fact that people feel okay to talk about it. It's partly due to the oppressive structures that have forced human beings to continue in a model that doesn't work anymore. You know, we're putting people in education systems for 15 years, teaching them crap that doesn't actually help them in real life, learning a history that didn't actually exist for the most part, you know, written by people. The winners.

Speaker 3: 15:04

The winners yeah.

Speaker 2: 15:06

Yeah, and revisited and dismantled. And you know, I think when you mentioned that about, you know we've had the Jesuses and the Buddhists and we've had these religious figures of people who were turned in for religious figures to build religious empires. And humanity has become disenchanted with that whole model because they see it, now I mean it was fine.

Speaker 2: 15:27

I think it was fine 100 years ago, when we didn't have enough education and people weren't self-actualized enough to actually have higher standards for what they were taught. And now we've got science finally reaching you know. It's been interesting to study how quantum physics and spirituality are finally like.

Speaker 3: 15:49

Oh yeah. They're really meeting in the middle.

Speaker 2: 15:52

Yeah, it's been interesting. I can see a shift in the scientific community where they're realizing that these two things are actually heading towards each other. It's exciting, I think it's an exciting time to be alive.

Speaker 3: 16:05

Totally, and, yeah, I absolutely love quantum physics and where physics is going to. I have a science degree, so I studied a lot of this stuff and it's I mean. To me, there's just no difference between what you can explore at the edges of any of the sciences, any of the arts and spirituality, because they're all relating to the reality of our world. The challenge we have is that Greed, greed, greed, greed, greed whether it's a material greed, a power greed, a control greed, it pulls people down and it's a structure that people empower in so many aspects of our world, both politically and in corporate power. Their whole model of existence is based on more, more, more, and our planet can't keep doing more, more, more.

Speaker 2: 17:02

Our people can't keep doing it.

Speaker 3: 17:04

You're seeing that.

Speaker 2: 17:05

That's why people are finally coming. The average man is finally rising to. You're seeing it, with the farmers all over the world organizing themselves. I'm so happy to see that, because it is what we've been talking about the average man having had enough the greed reached. They literally used the coronavirus closures as an opportunity to just go hog wild, and the whole time it was happening I was like this is not going to do anything to do with the war in the Ukraine. This is literally greed. This is literally them being just outright abragiously greedy.

Speaker 2: 17:38

But I was like you know what stop trying to tell people, because this is going to be a self-fulfilling. It's the snake eating itself. They're literally going to put us into a position where people are going to wig out and they realize that these $9 cartons of eggs and $6, which in America is very expensive per gallon gas is just corporate gouging America because the politicians aren't paying attention. And this is happening all over the planet and I was like this is basically the poison coming to the surface. The greed is going to become so obvious to just about everybody that massive change is going to come upon us.

Speaker 2: 18:16

Have you felt a change in the collective consciousness?

Speaker 3: 18:20

I think it's changing, I think it's evolving. I mean it's tricky, isn't it? Because I mean, while I have, I do have hope, because I know we're on a path where there are a lot of positive forces and a lot of positive energies, a lot of people doing amazing work. You know, like you, and the message you've got with your book is fabulous. My book on updating planetary consciousness is like we need to recognize that there's so much good happening.

Speaker 3: 18:46

At the same time, I also see people so trapped in these models of unbelievable stupidity and greed and untruths. And it's not that they're bad people, They've just been trapped. You know, I think what we fundamentally need is to give people the tools to find a way of reckoning with the difficulties they're facing in life, Because people are living really tough lives in so many ways. But the answer isn't more of the same and we have to just help people and nourish people and give people that gentle touch that says you know, there are other ways. Just have a little look, have a little thing you know, and just open to that. And yeah, I mean I do a lot of work trying to help people recognize that intuitive touch.

Speaker 3: 19:38

And it's interesting to say listen, because that is the first step, that's the first thing to do, because so often we do know there's something else. We hear that little whisper, we feel that little nudge to look differently, to speak differently, to listen differently. We perceive these things in so many ways, but we say nah, nah, nah, rubbish, you know. No, I'm doing this. Blah, blah, blah, you know. And we get caught up in the expressions of the outer world. We need to, we need to just give ourselves poison our day, to take stock of these things and attune ourselves. We can't deal with it.

Speaker 2: 20:15

I teach an emotional mastery and I was giving a speech out in Texas yesterday and it was really interesting because I'm seeing a lot of corporations, a lot of businesses and a lot of groups of people organizations who really want to bring in people to speak on emotional mastery, because they're realizing it's the key to better work environments, better organizations, better life experiences. All come from the human experience and when we acknowledge and deal with emotional and mental wellness and treat it the same as we do physical fitness, we create much healthier environments. And it was so interesting because I hadn't really had this many people sit for a talk on emotional mastery yet, because it's still new to do this in corporate world.

Speaker 2: 21:05

And the energy was electric because they were so hungry to hear their experiences validated from someone else's mouth, and the curiosity and comfort was extraordinary much more comfortable than if I got to drink at this speech on public relations or marketing. I was just like, oh my goodness, I felt a little bit like being a minister in front of a really happy crowd that was really delighted to hear the message. It gives me hope when I see a group of people absorbing and listening. That's hopeful to me.

Speaker 3: 21:44

Absolutely, and I think you hit on something so important. People have these questions, even if they're not really conscious of them. They have this wondering, they have this yearning and when you articulate it in words, that they can resonate within their minds and then they say hang on, that's exactly what I've been thinking, feeling, looking forward. Suddenly, the world starts to make sense on another level and that's the start. That's the way of opening out and saying, yeah, I'm not crazy for thinking that, I'm not weird for wondering about that. It's real, it's tangible and there's a pathway forward to absorb some of this deeper inner wisdom and light and intelligence and do things differently.

Speaker 2: 22:27

I think that's exciting. It's been a long time coming. There was a few years there. There was about 20 years there that were almost as an energetic being empathetic. I felt a massive shift in the collective consciousness in the last five years and in the last two years it's been off the chain About 20 years. It was tough. We were going through.

Speaker 2: 22:53

It was a little bit like that, the dark night of the soul. It was like, collectively, the planet was having a dark night of the soul. So many people are coming to an understanding that consciousness is a very popular topic with young people, which is so exciting. How would you get into as a scientist? I'm assuming it must have something to do with that. But how did you get into writing about consciousness?

Speaker 3: 23:24

Well, so I've been seeking all my life. I mean, I grew up my mum was a single mum and I spent a lot of time alone and my comfort was nature. I was lucky to have a garden nearby and the apartment we lived in. I used to sit in the tree for hours and I could feel the love from that tree, I could feel the love from the earth and it just it wasn't weird, it was strange, it was just there. And so from my early teenage years I was always searching for a way that I could understand that more deeply. And so for many years I've searched and studied and taught and, you know, done lots of things run retreats, blah, blah, blah, blah, all that stuff. But it's really, I suppose, over the last five years well, actually probably all the writing I've done for the last 20 years has always touched upon consciousness. In the last few years it's gone really full scale into understanding consciousness, which is interesting because most people don't understand consciousness in the conventional world. You know there's all sorts of fields. You know the neurobiologists will say well, it's just a product of your brain activity. It's like what, how does that work? Like it doesn't if you think more than two steps to deep, and then you've got the deep philosophers, who do see that there's a greater cosmic awareness, of which we are a part, and that feeds our consciousness. And you know, to me it's a fascinating thing and to me it's also just a natural continuance of looking for that sense of meaning and purpose and alignment in life, because we can only do that if we become conscious of it. Otherwise we're just kind of bumbling around. I've done my share of bumbling around. You know, doors open, you fall through them, you do stuff and then you think ah no, I've done that. One another door opens, you fall through it and you do that. Making conscious choices matters so much more than because every time you make a conscious choice we're helping that loving light of our soul, that deeper inner light of our true being, shine through, because soul is the trigger of consciousness. Soul is the spark that gives us life, that holds the meaning of our life in our hearts, through our life. It's what we tap into when we look for purpose. It's what we tap into when we see that deep inner sucker of comfort and that purpose is in there and that purpose holds the meaning. And if we're looking for meaning, we can only do that by being conscious of the fullness of the marriage of our experiences, our awareness, our knowledge, the personal wisdom we've gained, with that meaning that nourishes us from within, and that's consciousness. We put it together, we bring the meaning into the experience.

Speaker 3: 26:19

And to me, that it's just a natural product of any kind of search and journey, because every time you search you're looking at the edge of your being. So I'm aware of all this stuff, but what's just beyond it? Because what's just beyond it seems to be where I need to go. And when you go to that edge, you're going to that part of yourself that expands you. What's it expanding your consciousness? You're moving yourself into places that you haven't been aware of in the same way, but you're bringing that sense of meaning, purpose, reason not mental reason, but deep inner reason into it and that, to me, is just a natural journey to explore consciousness.

Speaker 3: 26:58

And then, as I say, when I've been writing, I sit down and I write, and it's really hard because I'm maintaining an open channel but I'm trying to keep my brain active so I can actually find words.

Speaker 3: 27:10

It's so hard because I often, you know, the energy is so strong and my mind turns to mush and I'm scraping around trying to find words, but so much of it has been so illuminating for me about consciousness too, because I wouldn't say I have highly studied in it. I've always reflected on it, but I've been given so much information about it I just love it and so I'm really exploring it in a lot these days, and especially in the context of our planetary consciousness. As you say, our human shift is happening. Our human consciousness is changing. Globalisation, for all the bad things it does from a corporate greed point of view, does a wonderful thing from an energetic human compassion and consciousness point of view, and we are realising we are one human and we have a lot of love and passion and capacity to create positive change. We just have to really energise that and help fracture and break down those structures of people perpetuating the old way of doing things which is not serving our sort of plan or anything else alive on this planet either.

Speaker 2: 28:14

Yeah, and that's one of the. It's interesting because I was very interval in the early stages of a lot of social media type things and I was really ashamed of Beerus for a very long time and, gosh, I was one of the people that helped bring this to humanity and it's really French, you know. I was really not loving it for a long time, but it's funny that ultimately, the thing that allows humanity and the collective conscious, global consciousness, to elevate quicker is social media. It is through the amount of education on spiritual topics. The hashtags are the trillions for some of the most important spiritual terminology and, like one of my favourite things to do is go on X, for my name is Twitter and they have space there and some of the most amazing people that I connect with globally like I just had a space before we did this podcast and you know there's dozens of people in there from all over the world, all different time zones, all talking about consciousness. Like that I was not.

Speaker 2: 29:24

I was not seeing that aspect of social media when I was dwelling in the negative and being like, oh, it's so superficial and of course, now it's the tool that's bringing the farmers together and bringing people together to change things. So the changes upon us, we. So you were always a spiritual being.

Speaker 3: 29:48

Yeah, I was from my early years and I was remembering that when I was about six or seven, we had a blackout in our apartment block and my mum left the front door open and I was looking through the front door to the neighbour's front door, which was opposite, and the lights were all out and there was torches down below and I tried to fix the light and this ghost literally like you see in the cartoons, this shit-clad thing just wafted past and went into the neighbour's door and I mean I just wasn't scared, it wasn't weird, it was like oh yeah, of course I exist. It's like somehow, you know and I think a lot of kids are like this it's just true, inside you have this inner knowing. It doesn't, of course, it makes sense and you know, I mean I studied science because I love to know the mechanics, the theories, the interconnectedness of our incredible, vast amount of knowledge in this world, and I was fascinated by it and I still am, I think, just like everything, there are some aspects of science that are captured by, you know, the other model, but there's so much exploration that's happening. It's really brilliant. Yeah, and to come back to your aspect about social media, what it reminds me of one of the greatest things that helps us become conscious is choice.

Speaker 3: 31:08

Unless we have a choice, we don't reflect, we don't ponder, we don't look for meaning, we don't look for answers, we don't look for direction. If we don't do that, will we just watch around or bumble around or whatever you like? Yeah, when we have choice, we can grow. Now, choice can seem quite extreme at the moment. We've got a lot of, as you say, there's a lot of quite dark stuff around. But yeah, we can choose. And we say there's a lot of light stuff as well. Let's choose the light, magnify it, because every time you choose that light of meaning, that inner sense of radiance in you and in the world, it magnifies. Because that's how light works.

Speaker 3: 31:52

You know, it's all about resonance, it's about vibration. If you create a certain vibration, you will be in harmony with other similar vibrations and discordant vibrations. Don't get looking. It's as simple as that. I mean, this is physics, this is musea, this is what we've known for centuries. You know, Certain notes harmonize with other notes.

Speaker 3: 32:11

Create the note of your being that resonates with your heart, your meaning, your soul, your purpose, however you wish to see it. Bring that, as you say, your emotional intelligence, Create the space in your being that resonates with a higher vibration, protect yourself from the lower stuff, and that is a need, because there's a lot of mischievous spirits around, there's a lot of dark energies around. Not to scare people, just to be real, you know, it's just the same. As you look around on Earth, we have a lot of pollution. It's just the same in the inner worlds we have a lot of pollution. We have a lot of leftover thoughts and feelings. We have a lot of mischievous preachers that like to get up to mischief. And if you just and I would say one thing I always am very careful about with people don't believe every single thing you hear whisper in your ear from the inner, Listen, listen carefully, because you've got to make sure you've got the right resonance, the right light, and make sure that that message rings with love and truth.

Speaker 3: 33:14

And don't get caught, because I see, quite you know people do get caught. You know they do start listening to a lot of stuff that's not particularly illuminating. And it's really important we activate that sense of deep inner wisdom in ourselves and choose carefully.

Speaker 2: 33:31

Yeah, I love that you shared that. I think one of my favorite things to express to people is that the content you consume becomes your energy. So when you are listening to music and singing the lyrics, or continually watching unhealthy content with an unhealthy frequency and everything, as we know, everything is frequency, everything is sound, and I love that analogy you used about the note. Find your note and then blend it with other beautiful notes, basically, and you'll feel a harmonious existence. I think that's so beautiful and so true. It's an exciting time to be alive.

Speaker 2: 34:13

There's so much change upon us and I think if we have enough people in human consciousness which is really the point of my mention in my book is that if we have enough people who have raised their consciousness into the more positive realms, then we will be in the right mindset to take advantage of the technological advances and things that are coming, because huge change is coming and it could bring an abundance. It's really beautiful as long as we're a little more aware during this revolution or industrial revolution. This is the modern version of the industrial revolution and more of a grasp of the long-term consequences of the choices that we make now, but you really turn this into a beautiful opportunity for the planet and other people.

Speaker 3: 35:03

Absolutely and I just so believe we can do that because people care. They care about the world we're in, they care about ultimately. I mean sure, some people are stuck and augmented by lives they live in. They can't see outside that, but they just need more care from outside and from those of us who can help magnify the energy of light and love. I mean, sometimes it sounds, you know, if I pollute and waft your staff and you say all these words. But you know I understand it, because physics has shown that as we develop a certain resonance and vibration, it permeates outside from us. We're not individual, we're not isolated individuals. Yes, we're individuals, we're not isolated individuals.

Speaker 3: 35:53

When we create a resonance, it has an effect. I mean, it's just the same. You know like they use equine therapy for people with mental health challenges, because when you stand near a boss, it's got such a giant heart it changes the way you feel. Well, okay, well, we can do the same. We can't grow a giant heart, but we can grow a giant, energetic heart. We can grow a giant, beautiful audience in our being and help create that beauty and love and calm and capacity to choose wisely, become more conscious and become more aligned with our overall global role here on Earth, which is to live sustainably, live careingly, live peacefully with the Earth, with all the other creatures, with each other. You know what else could we possibly need or want? You know we have to find balance with that.

Speaker 3: 36:46

I think the incredible development humanity has achieved with the mind brilliant. Let's bring the soul wisdom into it, the heart wisdom into it, that high light into it, so it can be guided with conscious, because that's one of the tricks with the mind it's got no guidance. I mean, you may have a moral framework that you fit your choices into. Fine, as we've talked about earlier, a lot of those came out of our religious upbringings or past spiritual journeys, pathways. A lot of those are dissolving and a lot of people are losing that sense of what their, if you like, a moral framework is. Now we have to find a moral framework that can guide our conscience and our choices from a heart place, from a place of deep knowing, as deep as we can find within ourselves, and bring love and moral into it so that we can act responsibly and careingly.

Speaker 2: 37:42

I think that's why the consciousness scale. How can scale a consciousness is such a huge tool for me in teaching people about consciousness because we, you know, I focus on teaching them to utilize their conscious and conscious behaviors to create better thought habits and then use them to treat them for growth so that when you have to scale, and what you know will happen is you end up in love. And once you reach that, I mean it's just such a transformative experience and the impact that has on people's lives is incredible.

Speaker 2: 38:16

So many wonderful points you make. Now my brain is just on fire with all the things, the wonderful things that you said. I do believe it is that the framework of utilizing consciousness, expanding human consciousness, is the way through, the way forward for humanity. It is the open to the heart space, into the soul space, and it can be in their energetic experience and their impact on the planet and other people. Thank you so much for coming. You've just got me thinking so much about me getting my brain in, because I really like the thoughts of consciousness and the heart space and the future of humanity. It's very exciting. Can you share with the name of your book? Is it where people would find it?

Speaker 3: 39:05

Yeah, sure, updating Planetary Consciousness, it's shiny, but yeah, I'm so happy I love the color, I love looking at it. Yeah, I love the colors. Updating Planetary Consciousness, and you can best place to find it. And my new podcast is calloftheheartnet and I'm just about actually releasing my first podcast, just getting that going. And the first one is about the five keys for developing conscious intuition. So, to really nail it, so that it's practical, pragmatic steps that you can use to clone that inner sense and also have free meditations for that heart space, because to me that's the change. Let's get out of our minds. Let's get out of our heads, let's get out of our feelings, let's come to that place where there's light, there's love, because it's always there. That's where our soul touches, that's where our life force comes from. Let's touch that space and we're not familiar with it because we don't learn it at school, but let's hope that changes soon and just let's practice touching that space because it's so nourishing and that's how we'll change the world.

Speaker 2: 40:14

Absolutely yes. Our school's sister about to undergo a radical change worldwide.

Speaker 2: 40:19

That is a fascinating launch and even without AI, we'll have a radical change worldwide. With AI, you know, individual learning and tailored learning to each person is such an incredible thing. We just grabbed my book what it looks like. I mean I'm gonna share it, excuse me. Thank you, ann, for coming on the show and sharing about human consciousness. I think it's such an important topic. It is the purpose of citizen journalists to bring important topics to the surface so that we can see them for what they are and talk about how it will impact the future if it's soon, correctly, and human consciousness being the key of that future. So this is really an important episode for me and one that's deeply personal, and I've enjoyed having you on the show and you're beautiful. Let's see how beautiful. We'll cover one more time, because it was so.

Speaker 2: 41:11
