Future Sense

Future Sense is an epic journey of the collective human experience in all its forms. FS unravels human consciousness and sketches a map to our spectacular future. How do we make sense of the shifting tides of reality and recognize the complex patterns to understand our place in the universe? Our strategy arises from a deep, research-based understanding of emergent human values.

For the first time ever humanity has global visibility of our impending evolutionary tipping point, which provides the opportunity to influence our transition. The current rising wave of global change is driven by an evolutionary response to the problems created by modern society. It is manifesting new perspectives, values and motivations. ‘What drives our behaviors? Why are human values so diverse? How can we work together at a global level to meet the enormous challenges we face? Will we survive as a species? Through the lens of human consciousness, [FS] intimately explores paradox seeking answers to these questions and many more. As William Gibson said, ‘the future is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed yet.’

EPISODES

EP 1: THE MESSAGE

Once upon a time in our near future, a coded message from the stars communicated with every human regardless of culture, geography or language. Humanity’s evolutionary story, an alien yet familiar tale, resonated with all earthly citizens to embrace change.

EP 2: CHANGE DYNAMIC

Explore the pattern of change, from the Universe to its many complex systems to the shifting paradigms of human consciousness. The ubiquitous experience of transformational change, or what Joseph Campbell coined ‘The Hero’s Journey’ is the core human story of change.

EP 3: HUMAN EVOLUTION

Since the emergence of homo sapiens, or ‘modern humans’, our species has evolved through four revolutions of consciousness, or paradigms, and is in the midst of fifth. Clare Graves’ research uncovered eight stages of development and their interconnected dynamics provide a roadmap to the future.

EP 4: END OF AN ERA

The decreasing effectiveness of our pre-Internet social systems, including politics and economics, is plainly visible. We witnessed the rise of the scientific-military-industrial complex, given birth to amazing technology, and also caused a lot of damage while creating some very complex problems. Despite its appearance, the collapse of the old systems is only making room for the new ones.

EP 5: THE POSTMODERN WORLD

Evolutionary tension: warfare, pollution and deforestation, loss of biodiversity and mass extinction, climate change, refugees, pandemics, technology trickle down, and more brings about the Postmodern human. Emerging social themes include re-localization of industry, rebuilding community, and reconnecting with nature prepares our foundations for the big leap in consciousness.

EP 6: QUANTUM CONSCIOUSNESS

Human nature prepares for a momentous leap: ‘...the most difficult, but at the same time the most exciting transition the human race has faced to date. It is not merely a transition to a new level of existence but the start of a new “movement” in the symphony of human history.’ The big leap brings us to a transrational state of being like a fish jumping out of a fishbowl to look back.

EP 7: TECHNOLOGIES OF TRANSFORMATION

(tools/methods to accelerate our dev, personal to global As transformative technologies continue to emerge, the reality we experience as individuals changes faster than our social systems can react. In this episode, we explore the tools and methods that accelerate our development both personally and globally:

EP 8: FUTURE HUMANS

So, who are we becoming? Understanding the human narrative. Experience the wholeness of existence through mind and spirit. The world is a single, dynamic organism with its own collective mind. Self is both distinct and a blended part of a larger compassionate whole. Everything connects to everything else. Energy and information permeate the Earth’s total environment. Holistic, intuitive thinking and cooperative actions are to be expected.
