I’m very excited, Gatherers, because lately I feel that something is changing in this world in a profound way, and I don’t think I’m the only one… There’s a feeling of irrational hope, a strange joy, a sense that something wonderful is happening in the midst of all the horrors.

I’ve always been obsessed with the idea that we humans would change the way we live in a dramatic way at some point during my lifetime. I call it “pool consciousness”—where we move from hierarchical, pyramid-shaped structures to a more fluid, interconnected “pool” way of being.

In this episode of The Gathering Room, I’m diving deep into pool consciousness and sharing a list of 12 signs that indicate you may be experiencing this shift now, too:

1. A quiet but persistent sense that Something is happening
2. Irrational hope and joy rising amidst upheaval and uncertainty
3. Easy laughter, more fun, more delight—for no particular reason
4. “Itchy mask syndrome”—an inability to be inauthentic
5. A softening of rigid striving
6. Intense emotional waves that cleanse without drowning you
7. An expanding capacity for paradox and holding opposites
8. Feeling more yourself than ever—but also more connected to everyone
9. Disinterest in “keeping up” with traditional life goals
10. An inner rebellion against hierarchies
11. Strangeness with time-speeding up, stretching, collapsing
12. A sense of being guided by signs, synchronicities, and “God winks”

If you are experiencing any of these twelve signs, or a clump of them, you may be part of something happening that has never happened before in human history. Even though the world is going to hell in a handbasket, at the same time, there is something new rising—something that we’ve all been waiting for our whole lives, maybe even since the human species first evolved. 

I don’t know exactly what it is, but I’m excited to be part of it!

Tune in for the full episode to hear about “The Pyramid and the Pool” metaphor and learn more about each of the 12 signs of pool consciousness. 

I’ll also share how to access hope during personal struggles, how to recognize synchronicities and guidance, and how authenticity, cooperation, and openness are key to navigating this new consciousness. Join me!
