This week I’ve noticed bursts of bright sunshine that show new hopes for the future. Among the sunshine spots I’ll share three.
Number one is the truth-telling witness of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. I love his unflinching honesty speaking about what happened during Covid and about the capture of regulatory agencies in the US. Here is a single example among hundreds. Political truth has never been told like this - without division, blame, hyperbole or even notes, the straight goods. Kennedy’s run for Presidency on the Democratic ticket is going direct to people by appearing on uncensored interviews that give him free rein. He’s crushing it. LIsteners get a valuable multi-layered education by tuning in. A mythic story of restoration is being embarked upon.
A second sunburst was The Sound of Freedom movie that premiered this week. It has an unusual urgency and moral strength - while remaining a touching, beautiful and true story. It puts viewers amidst people trying to help individuals caught in most difficult plight. . . child sex slavery. A difficult subject handled here with unusual respect and with no trace of maudlin sentimentality. Long-form interviews with the likes of Jordan Peterson and Tony Robbins (a major stakeholder) accompanied the release and they showed a rare urgency about telling the truth in this medium. We often see movies about delicate subjects, but here it feels like we’re seeing the thing itself. The story of the film, and its unusual crowdsoucing becomes a part of the phenomenon.
A third burst of sun is a new language of optimism in conversations. Ordinary people are talking about the possibility of spiritual rebirth for the world and for individuals in their own words. They’re living it, cheerleading an awakening that’s there for us to be part of. Aubry Marcus and Del Bigtree provide one example here.
Each of these three are evidence of people’s alignment with higher values coming into mainstream awareness. Each celebrate that the future is not writ by algorithms but by people who take bold and courageous action.
I know many fear that the algorithims have us. The truth is that the algorithims are unable to see the larger intelligence in the system we’re in. They’re completely oblivious to it. The algorithms wither in the sun! No matter how great the control it’s a fantasy and the algorithm will miss the living divine intelligence in the system that humans are heirs to, if we’re willing to claim it.

Dear Readers, If you’re interested in experience below concept, I invite you to join me tomorrow at 11:00 am Eastern for 75 minutes as we practice “Presencing.” Presencing shows the distinction between EXPERIENCE and CONCEPT (ideas about); I’ve found it a most helpful practice. Note that you’ll be asked to share your experience in the immediate moment with one other so it’s a little edgy; I’ll give some guidance and those who wish will practice together. Pre-register here.
Thank you for this beautifully warming piece of hope 🙏😊
