It's easy to imagine a horrible future. What does it look like to instead imagine an amazing future?
The more clearly we can imagine it, the higher the probability we can actually achieve something close to it. Why? Partly because of some esoteric stuff like "The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental." and theories about consciousness being fundamental to physical matter reality, and partially because it just makes common sense based on how our brains function. When we focus time and attention on something, our subconscious mind makes micro decisions without our awareness that will eventually lead us closer to that desired outcome. This stuff is talked about in "The Secret" and various religious "name it and claim it" doctrines, but I see it as far more simple. Like when you buy a new car, you suddenly see that car everywhere! The frequency of that car in your reality probably didn't change, but your awareness of it did. As your awareness changes, you'll notice things more clearly, things which might become opportunities for minor shifts in how you spend your time, attention, and intention which might lead to different decisions and eventually a world we all want to live in.
So let's play...
Luke's Imaginary Path To Future Awesome, Take 1:
AI continues to advance at an astonishing rate. Every single aspect of the human experience requiring data and intelligence is exponentially improved in speed and quality. As capabilities increase, so does our awareness as eternal beings having a human experience. We begin to find alignment with ourselves as we connect with Source, seeing all as ONE, peaking behind the illusion of duality. We learn how to automate our agreements and AI alignment becomes a replication of our own improving alignment with ourselves and nature. In true fractal style, we use the created AI to teach its creator (us) about morality, ethics, and win-win scenarious by exposing all externalities and unintended consequences and finding new ways to mitigate them. Personalized, safe nuclear power via thorium salt reactors becomes accessible at mass scale, with assembly lines pumping them out for everyone, eventually even producible via localized 3D printing. Eventually, scalable and affordable fusion power at room temperature is achieved. Processes for cleaning up the environment, extracting carbon, creating bio fuels and food sources and water desalination and such all become economically feasible as energy costs trend towards zero. Personal robots are rolled out to everyone for cheaper costs so that all "work" is now accomplished by AI and automated robotics. Standards of living around the globe jump for billions of people almost overnight. New medical treatments are tuned specifically to each person's DNA and life expectency becomes a number we're not even sure of as we find solutions for every disease, including old age. Hundreds of millions of people dedicate their focus, attention, and intention on helping people with the significant transition out of defining their purpose and meaning through the work they did and instead put their attention on Shadow work, trauma healing, and personal development. Neuralink and products like it, even completely non-invasive ones, start rolling out worldwide. Our ability to "go within" and become the watcher of our own experience is completely redefined. Every thought, every emotion, every trigger, every aspect of the decisions we make in our lives can now be traced, through the help of AI and our direct high bandwidth brain connection to it, directly to a cause. We can now understand what has been called "past life trauma" and work through it directly and effectively. World wide, billions start to experience levels of freedom and wellbeing never before imagined. Our never-ending need for conflict, challenge, and conquest is directed outwards towards space and inwards towards the deepest depths of the sea. The world's warriors become its brave explorer heroes, willing to die for the thrill of victory, exploring the unknown. Money and government as we've known them both become irrelevant. Decentralized digital nation states form as tribes to organize humans into their natural personality types and cooperative personality pairs, greatly improving understanding and communication around the world. Cryptocurrencies and competing currencies are created and distributed not based on hours worked, but on the individual progress each man and woman makes in their own consciousness development and evolution. Those who have had to overcome the worst challenges arise as the most financially influencial, and they use their life experiences to bring new levels of compassion and empathy to positions of leadership around the world.
At least... that's one way it might go. That scratch draft took me just a few minutes to write. I could refine and expand it, but what I'm more interested in is hearing your version. I challenge you to turn off your "Yeah, but..." internal voice. Turn off the part that finds flaws in everything. Choose love and hope over fear and despair and see what that thought form becomes. Write your future awesome draft.
What if we made this a daily practice, as we learn of new, exciting innovations? What if we engage the power of our imagination to co-create a blissful future beyond our wildest dreams? Exploring the galaxy with all of its harsh living conditions creates more than enough friction to continue evolving and growing.
What if...?
