Where to Go: Bayo Akomolafe

Where to go when the highway no longer leads to interesting places?

This talk is about what Bayo calls “ontofugitivity”: how things go astray, and how sedentary modern knowledges and expectations are being upset by the shocking performativity or fluidity of stability.

The talk is about the COVID-19 phenomenon, climate collapse, Yoruba indigenous contributions, the weird and modest politics of making sanctuary in light of the failures of neoliberalism and the dangers of progressivism, and the promise of descent.

The invitation of this talk is the call to go fugitive, to cultivate a federation of fugitive sharings – not as a way to deepen our sense of control, and not with an eye for “alignment”, but because we are exhausted and cannot keep reinforcing the web of relations we succinctly call “the human”.

It’s Alive, But Is It Life: Synthetic Biology and the Future of Creation

For decades, biologists have read and edited DNA, the code of life. Revolutionary developments are giving scientists the power to write it. Instead of tinkering with existing life forms, synthetic biologists may be on the verge of writing the DNA of a living organism from scratch. In the next decade, according to some, we may even see the first synthetic human genome. Join a distinguished group of synthetic biologists, geneticists and bioengineers who are edging closer to breathing life into matter.

The 7 SURPRISING Ways To Heal Trauma WITHOUT MEDICATION | Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk

Return of the Avatars Premiere with Jean Houston and Anneloes Smitsman

The Return of the Avatars Premiere with Dr. Jean Houston and Dr. Anneloes Smitsman took place on March 18, 2022, with special guest contribution by Dr. Ervin Laszlo.

Enjoy an evocative role-play by Jean and Anneloes, based on chapter 5 of “Return of the Avatars: The Cosmic Architect Tools of Our Future Becoming.” The heroine Rose speaks to her grandmother, the magus Verdandi, about a powerful dream she received of an ancient gathering, which leads them to explore the making of past and future covenants and what happens during the change of eras. Discover why the Future Humans community is growing so rapidly and what people from the community are sharing about their experience of working with these books. Meet the real-life version of the story character Olaf, Anneloes’ youngest son Manu, who helped develop the character Olaf in the trilogy and his brilliant game ideas. Olaf and Rose develop the blueprints for a Cosmic Compass Game as a Future Humans Quest, to change how we play the game of life on planet Earth, and for triggering the much needed “upgrades” of the giants of domination.

Practical Tools for Mass Awakening with Gregg Braden! QMTV Ep. 13

Watch Episode 13 of Quantum Minds TV with Dr. Theresa Bullard-Whyke and distinguished guest, Gregg Braden, to learn more about how being human helps us to access our divinity. Whether we look at spirituality, indigenous traditions, or ‘the simulation’, all of them invite us to discover the best version of ourselves. The best version of ourselves is the full extent of our humanness and our extraordinary potential. We must tap into our fullest human capacity to support mass awakening.

In this episode, we share about accessing optimal coherence, the quantum field, critical mass, and the future of humanity.

The Gateway Process: the CIA’s Classified Space & Time Travel System That You Can Learn (Really)

An advanced Gateway participant can not just project their consciousness to a different place; They could pull their consciousness completely out of this reality. They could travel anywhere in the universe, and at any point in time. The report revealed that our universe doesn’t actually exist. It’s a construct, created by our mind. By using the Gateway Process, you can exit the construct and see reality for what it really is. The 30-page Gateway report was immediately classified for one simple reason: anyone can learn to do it.

From Separation to Oneness: Vandana Shiva

From Separation to Oneness, from Monoculture to Diversity.

After a PhD thesis on non separability and non locality in Quantum theory, Dr Vandana Shiva studied non separation between forests, soil and water, the Green revolution in Punjab and the relationship between violence against nature by chemical agriculture and emergence of violence in society. Since then, she has kept working on the link between seeds, plants, soil, climate, and biodiversity.

Entangled Lives: Merlin Sheldrake

Entangled Lives: Fungal Networks, Ecology, and Us.

A fascinating conversation with the biologist and writer Merlin Sheldrake about the hidden universe of fungi. When we think of fungi, we likely think of mushrooms, but mushrooms are only fruiting bodies, analogous to apples on a tree. Most fungi live out of sight, yet make up a massively diverse kingdom of organisms that supports and sustains nearly all living systems.

Fungi provide a key to understanding the planet on which we live, and the ways we think, feel, and behave. Fungi throw our concepts of individuality and even intelligence into question. They are metabolic masters, earth makers, and key players in most of life’s processes. They can change our minds, heal our bodies, and even help us remediate environmental disaster.

By examining fungi on their own terms, Merlin reveals how these extraordinary organisms—and our relationships with them—are changing our understanding of how life works.
