In this solocast, I talk about the current collective level of consciousness of the planet and the impact it has on our everyday lives.
I explain how understanding where we are as a planet in terms of the collective level of consciousness has brought me to a decision to change the podcast episode release schedule.
I also talk about how the events of the past several years have impacted the collective level of consciousness + briefly explain David R. Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness and how the collective level of consciousness of the planet has been changing throughout the last 2,000 years!
