Absolutely brilliant (again!) and reminds me as to why psychedelic research, reincarnation, ufology, quantum immortality, near-death experiences, esoteric philosophy, and various other taboo subjects are making a comeback during this global phase shift. (They all engage the RH!)

It’s weird because almost everyone speaks about reality without “getting it” but I haven’t gotten that feeling when I read your articles, which keeps me coming back. Thank you.

I’ve had direct experiences that speak to this, but not for a long time. So I find myself in the position of sometimes exploring esoteric topics I have less and less direct experience of. It’s a weird position.

Profound, deeply relevant and massively insightful. Such good timing for my professional and personal life right now, and am rapidly pursuing Strengths-Based, Heart-Centred Leadership paradigms for me and my clients. Love The Matrix on so many levels, and the perfect metaphor for your observations and insights about humanity's ongoing evolution. Thank you!

Ah thanks! Reading your article gave me the sense that the leading edge really has a responsibility to make this content RELATIONAL on every level, rather than just a one way broadcast. Thank you!

Oh it looks like https://sapientcapital.com/looking-over-the-edge/ throws a 404. Do you know if there's another webpage that might have this article?

Ohhh I didn't realize that the posts referenced in sapientcapital were your posts! It might be worth fixing the URLs in this post to point to theleading-edge rather than sapientcapital, since this post is amazing!

Re: your point that a lot of contemporary spirituality focuses on the "inner" rather than the "outer" really resonated with me. You might be interested in Vajrayana Buddhism too. I really like David Chapman's https://vividness.live/ and the work that Charlie Awbury and Jared Janes are doing at Evolving Ground.

Disclaimer: I'm learning meditation from Charlie, and have found it extremely helpful during the various transitions I've been through in the last few months.

Thanks- many people have recommended Chapman’s writing but I’ve found it hard to understand, is there something you like?

Out of all of his writing, I'd say that this post specifically is worth looking at - https://vividness.live/developing-ethical-social-and-cognitive-competence.

Specifically, a lot of his discussion around nebulosity and its relationship to patterns reminds me of the stuff you discuss w.r.t attractors.

Brilliant!

As a long-time reader, have you ever considered writing a book to expand the above essay further? I think a book is a better mechanism to learn and share knowledge as it pushes a writer to think beyond writing a few pages of an essay.

Thanks anon! I’ve written a book actually. Might self publish at some point. Timing doesn’t seem quite right yet.

I will wait for the time to be right then.
