The Promethean revolution in the flowering of human consciousness on the enlightened society podcast
We find ourselves in a world of potential abundance
But even this can't fill the deep hole that we often feel
individually and collectively
The dream from the old world has come to an end and we are desperate for a paradigm shift
The extremes all around us exemplify the links that will resort to in order to feel whole
We need a revolution a different kind of revolution and we need it now
The Promethean revolution is the flowering of human consciousness?
It's the only real revolution all others were prologue
This revolution has endured inside us
It's an unfolding process that has been occurring for years decades centuries
and millennia
it's as old as life itself an
intrinsic aspect of our DNA from the beginning
That's crashed through endless barriers, and is the driving force of our evolution
This revolution goes to the heart of what it means to exist to be alive and to be conscious
it's embedded in the energetic fabric of the cosmos a
Universe whose only purpose is to wake up to itself
To realize what it is
to self actualize
You are that universe just like everything else
we are an ever evolving process on a trajectory of Awakening and
When we arrive we'll begin again and know the place for the first time
It's not just a dream. It's real and it's coming into being before our eyes
This revolution is not based on an ideological or materialist foundation like before
But it's a profound and lasting experience. That's centered in our own body
It's a holistic understanding of our very being right now
Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to humanity forever lighting the path out of the dark night of our caves
The champion of mankind initiated at the Promethean revolution for the Greeks and it's finding new life today
Exploring the ocean of consciousness has finally reached a critical mass
We are now positioned to transform our individual and global consciousness from a survival mentality to one of thriving
Ecstasy's is the term given to an array of states of consciousness
by Steven Kotler and Jamie wheel in their book stealing Fire House Silicon Valley the Navy SEALs and
Maverick scientists are revolutionizing the way we live and work
They begin with a look back at the aleutian and mysteries which were a nine-day event in ancient Athens
They used numerous techniques to dissolve standard frames of reference in order to explore consciousness
discover reality and evoke profound meaning
It included everything from sensory deprivation to sensory overload
Anything that will lead to catharsis and rebirth
It was a lifetime event in right of passage for people across the Mediterranean for more than 2,000 years
The event occurred in a confined space on the ground among peers using music dance
psychedelics
storytelling and physical exertion among other techniques
It ended around the time of the Roman conquest and subsequent conversion to Christianity
Thus the techniques went underground or were appropriated and distorted for another 2,000 years?
Only to be rekindled by events like Burning Man in the 21st century
One of a few rites of passage that have emerged within our overly controlled society
Exes is the modern form of stepping beyond oneself with the author's call non-ordinary states
Exploring the spectrum of consciousness allows us to experience a richer and more expansive reality that we do through our narrow lens of everyday reality
The forms range from dramatic to barely perceptible
from short lived to lasting
They include the contemplative mystical psychedelic and flow States
Together they can result in profound realizations
Enhanced personal performance and life transformations despite the different techniques and applications used
These experiences can also be instrumental in helping us to solve our many global challenges
The content of the experience varies, but the author's discovered that selflessness
timelessness
effortlessness and richness
Otherwise known as stir are the common elements among each of the disparate traditions that they looked at
These states breathe new life into our minds and bodies and help us to feel live and invigorated again
Such States have been experienced through traditional methods found in athletics the arts
religion spirituality and elsewhere, but they often remained isolated there and bound within dogma and
traditional practitioners have rarely realized their shared experiences with other disciplines
But with modern science as our guide and neuro chemistry as our lens
We can unite these traditions under one umbrella and realize the broader implications
Non-ordinary states have many applications because collectively we are desperate to get out of our heads
Our ordinary lives are often mundane and unfeeling
This is an important point because existence
Life in human consciousness are all extremely profound
but our collective minds turn these miracles into another banality and
We must depart this dark chasm in order to move beyond simple survival
Humanity yearns for stassi's and we lack satisfactory channels for alleviating that primordial thirst
This deficit presents an opportunity
With the author's call the four trillion dollar altered state's economy
because that's what we're collectively spending our money on trying to get out of our heads and
We're having little meaningful success despite our enormous craving
It matters because
Individually and collectively. We are being pushed too far in the wrong direction and
We need relief
We are yearning for a change that is meaningful and lasting
Let's take a look at what ster looks like to get a deeper sense of its significance
Selflessness is the sense of peace we feel when we get out of our heads
Where we can see the larger perspective that leads to a sense of unity
Timelessness is stepping outside of the need to constantly do and achieve. What society tells us as imperative
Keeping us in a constant state of doing in rarely being
We can only enter the present by going beyond time
the place outside of our routine schedules
Effortlessness is the wonderful feeling of doing something that you love with ease where otherwise it would be unbearably difficult
Richness is the embodiment of feeling alive and present where life is vivid and significant
together they alter our brain chemistry in our brain frequencies from a slow narrow linear and
analytical consciousness that is limited in capacity
To a broader conscious bandwidth that can take in orders of magnitude more information
where we move from being overloaded by multitasking to spontaneously experiencing the full spectrum and
From this elevated perspective we can learn create connect and achieve higher-level functioning
We are in the midst of substantial obstacles what they call wicked problems
Which require substantial solutions developed by highly creative?
Skillful and productive groups of people who are able to think outside the box?
Exactly what this revolution addresses
So why hasn't it taken flight thus far what's been the hang-up
The authors contend that it's been subverted
Corrupted and overlooked for so long largely because of what they call the three pails
the pail of religion the body in the state
The pail of religion has blinded our vision from the beginning and especially since its widespread adoption over 2,000 years ago
with the end of the loose Indian mysteries
The Abrahamic religions and even the Eastern traditions to some extent have had a particularly strenuous hold on human consciousness
until recently
This coincides with the pale of the body we have long feared rejected and misunderstood our own bodies
We are ashamed of its natural processes and often feel embarrassed by them whether it is mental emotional or physical
The nude body for example is the most beautiful thing of all and has been outlawed nearly everywhere in public
Shame and embarrassment are two of the strongest emotions that have been systematically used to control
manipulate and exploit human behavior in addition
We haven't fully understood the complex biological process of the body
We are only now learning about the neurochemical mechanisms of the brain and body
We're beginning to apply ancient consciousness extending techniques to the body with scientific precision
through movement music and sound food and aromas new tradition from plants herbs and supplements
meditation practices sensory deprivation and sensory overload
We are learning to truly be at peace with our minds and enjoy life by employing the bodies potential
Each of these tools and techniques has unique attributes that can be combined in different ways for maximum effect
for example
Meditation is a valuable tool that doesn't have to remain solely in traditional forms it can be accompanied by music aroma
herbs food
Use of natural tobacco or cannabis to mention only a few
It's essential to know what the essence of the technique is so that the appropriate context can be created
Meditation is like taking a rowboat across the ocean. It's a gentle slow
long-term and mindful practice
This is in contrast to psychedelics which are like taking a jet airplane across the ocean
Where you can quickly see the extensive variations of consciousness and compare them?
the pale of the state is the last barrier discussed
The modern state is relatively new having existed. Globally for less than a hundred years
before this earth consisted largely of empires and kingdoms
controlled by
aristocracy's and dominant hierarchies
But even as democracies emerged the tradition of subverting human freedom and inclusion has continued
as evidenced by the founding of the first so-called modern democracy the United States
Which only allowed white male landowners to vote to say nothing of the widespread?
subjugation of people's rights afterwards
This tradition of prohibiting groups or behaviors that challenge the corrupt status quo has endured to the present
Despite the efforts of reformers exemplified in the modern counterculture
This is part of the everlasting struggle between generations and part of a long culture war
until recently these pales has systematically stunted and subverted human consciousness and
the Promethean revolution
The revolution of ecstasy's has proliferated
Recently due two key industries that are contributing scientific understanding to non-ordinary states
including
psychology neurobiology
Pharmacology and technology
The author's tell a history of a new psychology through the lens of the human potential movement
the sexual revolution and the use of altered states to cure trauma and affect lifelong development
What's been discovered is that under the right conditions?
Altered states can lead to altered traits
from self discovery to self development
With neurobiology we're beginning to better understand the structural elements of consciousness itself
Consciousness is no longer viewed through the simplistic lens of an isolated
Egocentric self, but rather a complex process that involves the whole body in the whole spectrum of consciousness
Which includes the breadth of biochemistry and even the power of intention?
our consciousness is constantly changing
moment by moment
hourly daily
yearly and
Historically we've been able to affect it only in meager ways
We've essentially been stumbling around in the dark in
Large part. We are a series of automatic programs and have therefore been susceptible to manipulation by others and
Mediated by arcane dogma that has been weighed down by historical tradition
But now we can reprogram ourselves using
Scientific understanding with the author's described as moving from an operating system to a user interface
Where we can upgrade our own software?
What we've learned is that rather than meditating for 30 years in Tibet with the hope of a glimpse of the broader reality
These states can be reproduced at will with the right techniques and tools
Pharmacology allows us to use our biochemistry in tailor-made ways
Intoxication is just one form of this
But a particularly potent one
It's unfortunate that the gatekeepers of society have largely treated. This as a frivolous activity
Even though everyone in it willingly engages in the activity in one form or another
This view largely remains as a mechanism for control more than anything else in
reality it appears that intoxication is a natural part of human functioning perhaps even a core aspect a
primary motivation akin to food water and sex and
Humans aren't alone in fact intoxication is widespread throughout the animal kingdom
It's been documented in dolphins
horses and birds to name a few
The critical advancement of pharmacology is the targeted inducement of particular states of consciousness?
That lead to long lasting cognitive enhancements like deep patterning lateral thinking and problem-solving capabilities
These innovations emerge through personal and professional pains by courageous researchers like Alexander Shulgin
Who despite the consequences?
Open sourced the information
Something most people don't know is that this was also Tim Leary strategy. He feared that
unaccountable authorities would appropriate psychedelics and use them for nefarious purposes
And of course that's exactly what happened from the outset they were weaponized and turned into tools of manipulation in
the modern era
Technology is making ecstasy safer and more approachable
Using everything from acoustics to visual arts virtual reality and physical activity
transforming once risky experiences like skydiving
Into a safe wind tunnel experience for example
These personal benefits multiply and become a social transformation engine for the collective whole
Giving us more capability and opportunity and allowing us to be more resilient in the face obstacles
This translates into greater innovation and creativity, and this is exactly the kind of exponential increase in problem-solving
That we need to solve our many wicked problems
This is exemplified by the Burning Man experience in
Which people from all over the world and across the spectrum of interests me to explore non-ordinary States
It's the ultimate real-life sandbox and open world environment
The greatest dangers to this revolution our
manipulation abuse and coercion by institutions with a vested interest in maintaining
dominance over human consciousness
we have at least 10,000 years of history to draw from the
Authors argue that the principal threats come from militarism and corporate consumerism
Where the public is susceptible to fear-mongering by unaccountable groups with vast resources?
That can fund research to manipulate us for their own advantages
This is an asymmetric battleground in which the Wolves have built the henhouse
The main advantage of the Promethean opposition is unfettered access to open source information
The levers of power now reside in a free and open Internet
The fire that Prometheus stole has transformed into electrical signals that instantaneously traverse the earth
The more we share across unconstrained connections the more we can explore the depth and breadth of reality
The author's end with the discussion of known issues in the democratization of X aussies and offer some guidelines
It's natural to suddenly realize and new and immense capacity in ecstasies
It was previously hidden from sight and it's equally natural to get lost there
however, the mature response is to ground yourself in the realization that everyone is capable of this experience and
Deserving of the opportunity to discover it
Exploring the spectrum consciousness should be done with the right mindset in the right environments and with the right intentions
each tool has unique benefits and limitations and
the effect of the tools range across the entire spectrum
From relaxed and gentle to sudden and intense
When exploring the ocean of consciousness?
One can take a sailboat or jet plane
Neither is a panacea
So find what works for you and create your own unique combinations
Following these guidelines will prevent the unfortunate mistakes of the past
Finally and most importantly the tools are not the goal
Just like the finger is not the moon
The tools help us to experience the spectrum of consciousness in reality
The dream of the new world is the flowering of human consciousness
The nightmare is a waste of this potential
The balance hangs by a thread in what you do matters
It's a battle of inches and degrees
The empires of old emerged and disappeared one degree at a time and this revolution is no different
What is unique is the scale of this profound endeavor?
It's for the consciousness of a planet that represents the universe
It's an opportunity for the cosmos to know itself
