2020 is the year of destruction.
The status quo is being challenged like never before. And we’re not done yet.
But destruction paves the way for creation. Flowers bloom after the storm.

But destruction paves the way for creation. Flowers bloom after the storm.
These storms will affect every aspect of life:
Business, employment, tech, money/banking, finance/investing, healthcare, food, education, government, the nation-state, religion, entertainment and media.
Nothing will be left untouched.

Some of these shifts were already underway, the pandemic just significantly accelerated the process.
Specifically, there are two main drivers of these shifts.
Specifically, there are two main drivers of these shifts.
1st is an outer shift - Humanity’s transition to the Information Age (IA)
There were only 3 prev stages of economic life — (1) hunter-gatherer, (2) agricultural and (3) industrial.
IA values the power of one’s ideas — accessible to any person, anywhere in the world.

Merit truly matters. For the 1st time in history, this power can free individuals from the shackles of big government, politics and lifelong employment.
Welcome to the era of the truly sovereign individual.

2nd shift is a subtle evolution of the inner - humanity’s transition to heart-based consciousness.
The prev stage was ego-consciousness, the paradigm of fear and illusion. There was a lot of unacknowledged darkness.

Political/corporate platitudes of integrity and equality veiling rampant corruption and greed.
Social conformity and political correctness yet unmitigated division.
The ruse of democracy offering an illusion of choice.

Celebrity culture.
The importance of the nation-state, high taxation, an individual’s obligations to the state and patriotic wars for glory or to protect it from enemies of the state.
Hedonistic consumerism and consumption without pause on its impact to the world.

Hedonistic consumerism and consumption without pause on its impact to the world.
The race to develop and grow technology, divorced from heart, with sometimes toxic consequences.
The “fake it till you make it” culture or pursuit of a fake, ideal presentation to the world, implying the inadequacy and fear of being one’s true self.

Never having enough and never being enough.
The ultimate importance and worship of form over substance. Knowledge over wisdom.

We are now shifting to a new dimension of heart-based consciousness — a paradigm based on love and truth.
This is about leading from the intelligence and wisdom of the heart, rather than being slave to the ceaseless chatter of the ego-mind.

But this isn’t to be mistaken for some idealistic vision where it’s all peaches and cream.
Love and truth are messy, raw, real and filled with uncertainty, with equal potency for destruction and creation.

Love and truth will demand we face our shadows and shed our ego-consciousness as well as any and all aspects of our selves that are tethered to control, attachment and illusion.
This isn’t about dissolving the ego, it’s about giving up our ego-centered ways.

The information age, and heart-based consciousness have deep implications for our world but by far the biggest and most important is the empowerment of the individual.
Both outer and inner drivers are aligning to make this a reality.
Both outer and inner drivers are aligning to make this a reality.
From the concentration of power with and worship of a few people, groups, corporations, institutions and governments to the liberation of the many.
From ‘too big to fail’ to ‘too big to survive’. An untangling from centralization to decentralization.

I don’t say the following lightly. We are now at the big bang moment for humanity’s advancement into a new era, where we unleash the full power of the information age in divine harmony with heart-based consciousness.
This is going to lead to amazing creations, businesses and inventions the world never dreamed of.
More than ever before, we need dreamers and builders to create and usher in a new world, as the old one literally crumbles away in front of us.
