At every level of society, from personal to global, we face mounting crises in The 3 Es – Energy, Economy, Environment. These have been well documented on this podcast right back to its beginning in 2012. But they're nothing new. The first major signs of pinch points involving all three arguably first appeared during the oil crisis of the 1970s. Since then, national, international and global institutions based on and attempting to exert control over these systems have been dominated by the idea that there is a technological solution to every problem. However, at the end of the first quarter of the 21st century, problems with energy supply and the monetary system are becoming increasingly difficult to manage.

What this may mean for our day to day lives is finally beginning to manifest in mass consciousness, even as technocratic government and corporate elites scramble to suppress the gathering signs of systemic stress and ultimately, collapse. The current war in Iran should give us pause as we watch an advanced society struggling to cope without water, without food, without power, without communications. Is it time to consider how such crushing constraints might impact you in the not too distant future?

Western science has had remarkable success in explaining the functioning of the material world, but when it comes to the inner world of the mind, it has very little to say. And when it comes to consciousness itself, science falls curiously silent. There is nothing in physics, chemistry, biology, or any other science that can account for our having an interior world. In a strange way, scientists would be much happier if minds did not exist. Yet without minds there would be no science. This ever-present paradox may be pushing Western science into what Thomas Kuhn called a paradigm shift – a fundamental change in worldview.

Peter is one of the leading thinkers on consciousness and contemporary spirituality and author of a number of books including From Science to God: A Physicist’s Journey into the Mystery of Consciousness, Waking Up in Time: Finding Inner Peace in Times of Accelerating Change and The Global Brain: The Awakening Earth in a New Century. He believes that the critical challenge today is to free human thinking from the limited beliefs and attitudes that lie behind so many of our problems – personal, social, and global. His mission is to distil the essential wisdom on human consciousness found in the world’s various spiritual traditions, and to disseminate their teachings on self-liberation in contemporary and compelling ways.

Thomas Lombardo and Greg Moffitt in conversation.

In a universe portrayed in the modern age as being utterly devoid of meaning and purpose, emotion is often regarded as little more than human weakness. There is a widely held view that emotion should certainly play no part in major decisions and actions, be they politics, business, science, or war. But what if emotion were actually one of the fundamental features of consciousness itself, guiding its evolution?

Against a background of the overall origin and nature of consciousness, we ask: What if it is in fact impossible for emotion – and its partner motivation – to be separated from thinking and reason? What if they are essentially two sides of the same coin? Science is driving the development of the technologies which will most affect our future: renewable energy, food production, employment, medicine, finance, surveillance, and international security. And yet it is a falsehood that science – or anything else in the realm of human affairs – can somehow operate independently from human emotion and motivation. If this is understood and integrated, we have a better chance of a future less motivated by greed, power, hatred and revenge.
