Shift in Consciousness: It’s Already Happening

The shift in consciousness skeptics are waiting for has already happened. It wasn't a burning bush. It was the Internet connecting billions of minds.

From the Vault

I wrote this 13 years, 2 months ago. My thinking has probably evolved—some ideas deepened, others abandoned, a few transformed entirely. For how I'm currently thinking about things, check out what I'm working on today or Jesus Lightning.

Found this through Google? You just proved a point I've made often. This post is still working years later—no ad spend, no algorithm games. SEO is the highest-ROI investment any creator can make. I can help you build that.

Listen while you workout, cook, or commute.

When you talk to skeptics and mention that we’re in the midst of a shift in consciousness like the world has never seen before, they scoff.

Well then, why haven’t I felt it?

They’re thinking linearly, wanting an earthquake and a burning bush to shift their thinking in a split second. That’s not how things actually work. They work slowly over time.

What a Shift Actually Looks Like

As planetary consciousness began to shift in recent decades, a little thing called the Internet started making its way into homes across the world. Very slowly, more and more people began breaking down old barriers of communication and talking on a global scale.

As devices became more powerful and smaller in size, the power of the Internet suddenly fit into the palm of your hand. Now, you had the entire world’s information at your fingertips and you could share it with anyone, anywhere, at any time.

Old, inefficient systems began to crumble under the power of something new: transparency.

All of a sudden, we lived in a world where everyone could talk to everyone. When that happens, there is no longer room for conspiracy. There is no longer room for dictatorship. There is no longer room for compartmentalization of belief.

When everyone can talk to everyone, we have a completely new dynamic of global communication and scale the likes of which have never been seen on this planet.

All this in less than a generation.

Now that’s a shift in consciousness.

What’s Next?

The question is no longer, will the world end? But rather, what will the new world look like?

When an elite few can no longer maintain control over the masses, how do our major systems of government, finance, commerce, and healthcare shift?

And if the Internet can provide a paradigm shift so grand that the world today is almost completely different than the world of a generation ago, what does the next paradigm-shifting invention look like?

The Next Big Thing

It’s anyone’s guess as to what technological improvement could cause a ripple as big as the Internet has created. But here’s a theory to rattle around a bit.

What would happen if the scientific work being done around quantum physics and mechanics was able to create a device that read quantum energy?

What if you could scientifically prove that each of our thoughts held a certain vibration or frequency and that certain frequencies attracted others similar to it?

What if you could see your quantum DNA?

With such a device, scientists would be able to prove why prayer, positive thinking, meditation, spontaneous remission, and just about any other ritual works.

But more importantly, they would be able to prove to advertisers and the media elite that you can actually make more money and do more good focusing on a positive message, instead of always trying to strike a negative chord of dramatic magnitude.

When science can prove through quantum physics that advertisers and the media would make more money by focusing on positive storytelling and messaging, then we will have our next global shift in consciousness.

What We Once Called Magic

It seems impossible, yes. But a generation ago, if you were to tell the average person on the street that they would have access to the world’s information, in seconds, at their fingertips, for free, in less than a decade, they would have called you crazy.

A new world is beginning. One that is planting the seeds of consciousness for a shift that will rival the Internet in profundity. Maybe it will be in quantum physics. Maybe not.

But one thing is for sure: billions of people have access to information and each other in a way that would have been labeled magic just a short time ago.

What do we call magic right now that our children and grandchildren will just call necessity?

Is consciousness shifting? Ask the set of encyclopedia collecting dust in your game room. Everything we currently label advanced technology will soon be obsolete.

Hold on to your butts.
