The Future Humans Podcast

Welcome to the Future Humans Podcast with co-hosts Dr. Jean Houston and Dr. Anneloes Smitsman, for meeting with remarkable pioneers from around the world who walk the path of our future human potential.

For this episode Jean and Anneloes talk with Dr. Bruce Lipton, who is a world-renowned pioneer for bridging science and spirituality. In their conversation, Bruce explains how we can’t build a sustainable civilization from the one that is causing the sixth mass extinction, and how the transition to becoming a "butterfly civilization" requires a major shift in consciousness from mental victimhood to owning our power as creators. He further explains how a change in consciousness is the foundation of evolution. Continue watching till the end to learn about conscious parenting and the importance of empowering our children for the necessary shifts in consciousness and our ’spontaneous evolution.’

Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D. is a cell biologist, lecturer, and internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. Bruce was on the faculty of the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine and later performed groundbreaking stem cell research at Stanford University.

Welcome to The Future Humans Podcast with co-hosts Dr. Jean Houston and Dr. Anneloes Smitsman, for meeting with remarkable pioneers from around the world who walk the path of our future human potential.

For this episode Jean and Anneloes talk with Lynne McTaggart, who wrote the foreword for The Quest of Rose, book 1 of the Future Humans Trilogy by Anneloes and Jean. Lynne is a world-renowned pioneer for bridging science and spiritually as well as an internationally bestselling and award-winning author and journalist.

In their conversation they explore The New Story that is emerging from the intersections of the new science and spirituality, and what this reveals about the powers of our thoughts and the nature of reality. Lynne talks about her discoveries through The Intention Experiment, her research about the impact of our thoughts, and the fluidity of time. She also explains how even more potent than the power of intention is the actual process of bringing polarised people together and getting them to connect with each other through the power of altruism. She explains how society right now is wired to the wrong story of Newtonian and Darwinian limitations, by defining life as struggle for survival through win-lose competition. She explains how the power of altruism, Oneness, and the power of community can play a significant role in the healing of our divided worlds, including the health benefits of being in a state of Oneness with others and the importance of that for our evolution.

She also talks about her research and experiments on retro-intentions, how to shift reality from the future, and how time is non-linear and non-deterministic as a quantum process subject to creation. In her words, “We don’t change the past, the future changes the present as it is unfolding. Time is one big smeared out NOW.” The podcast completes with a hopeful message for the younger generations about trusting the process of life, the continuity of consciousness, and how the new science “tells us we are far grander than we’ve been told.”

Lynne McTaggart is an internationally bestselling and award-winning author and journalist, who for over 20 years has been examining the bridge between frontier science and spirituality. She has authored seven books, including the worldwide international bestsellers The Power of Eight, The Field, The Intention Experiment and The Bond, all considered seminal books of the New Science and now translated into some 30 languages. She’s consistently voted one of the world’s top 100 spiritual leaders for her ground-breaking work with consciousness and the power of thoughts.

For this episode Jean and Anneloes talk with Dr. Jude Currivan, renowned cosmologist, planetary healer, futurist and award-winning bestselling author. In their conversation they explore what it means to be “Gaians”, and some of the key themes that feature in Jude’s new book: The Story of Gaia, which is next in the sequel after The Cosmic Hologram.

Jude explains why she chose to start from the very beginning of our Universe, 13,8 billion years ago, and how evidence shows that the Big Bang is rather like a Big Out-Breath. How our universe began from an incredibly ordered and exquisitely fine-tuned state, and came into its appearance of energy-matter and space-time, in order to evolve from simplicity to complexity.

They also explore the process of our metamorphic transformation and the radical re-membering that we belong to a multi-dimensional Universe, and the grand adventure of its evolutionary journey. The conversation completes with a beautiful honouring of their beloved friend Hazel Henderson, futurist and evolutionary economist, who recently made her transition.

Dr. Jude Currivan, Ph.D. is a cosmologist, planetary healer, futurist and author. She has experienced multidimensional realities since early childhood, and holds a Ph.D. in Anthropological Archaeology from the University of Reading in the UK, where she researched ancient cosmologies. She also has a Master’s Degree in Physics from Oxford University, specializing in cosmology and quantum physics. She has authored number books, including the award-winning book The Cosmic Hologram: Information at the Center of Creation. Her upcoming book, The Story of Gaia, shares the journey of our conscious, unified and evolutionary Universe and planetary home. Jude is truly a leading pioneer in the integration of leading-edge science and universal wisdom teachings, aiming to serve humanity’s understanding, experiencing and embodying of unitive consciousness.

Welcome to The Future Humans Podcast with co-hosts Dr. Jean Houston and Dr. Anneloes Smitsman, for meeting with remarkable pioneers from around the world who walk the path of our future human potential.

For this episode, Jean and Anneloes talk with the esteemed physicists, Professors Dr. Menas Kafatos and Dr. Sudip Patra as they explore a quantum-like Universe and the fundamental questions of time and consciousness. They talk about a quantum understanding of life and reality, and the foundations of consciousness as fundamental reality out of which emerges the physical Universe and individuated experiences.

Prof. Kafatos emphasizes how the powers of the individual being are the same as the universal consciousness, and why consciousness is fundamental for existence, and not just emergent from physical layers of existence. He also explains how it is easier to descend from the nonlocal reality into space and time, but almost impossible the other way. In his words, “You don’t form wholeness by putting parts together unless there this is an overall blueprint for what what are doing. We quantum physicist need to emphasise that more.” He further explains how the arrow of time is a huge illusion, and how this is what perhaps creates so many problems in the world. And how the experience of timelessness arises from the nonlocal aspects of consciousness.

Prof. Patra explains how modern physics today is still dominated by the doctrines of physicalism (materialism), and why starting from the position of fundamental awareness is essential, and how quantum principles of contextuality-complementarity, nonlocality, and fundamental uncertainty help us gain a better understanding of the nature of reality. He also explains how potentialities are equally real as that which has actualized into concreteness. He offers that the classical and quantum view of reality are complementary views, if we begin from fundamental awareness and start with the infinite. 

Dr. Menas Kafatos, Ph.D. is The Fletcher Jones Endowed Professor of Computational Physics at Chapman University and is the Founding Dean of the Schmid College of Science and Technology at Chapman University. He directs the Center of Excellence in Earth Systems Modeling and Observations and published numerous books including The Conscious Universe, and The Creative Cosmos with Deepak Chopra. He grew up on the island of Crete, and has always been fascinated by the vastness of space and questions that relate to the universe. His current focus is on the intersections between science and spirituality, the nature of reality, and quantum implications for everyday life. For more information, visit: https://www.menaskafatos.com/ 

Dr. Sudip Patra, Ph.D. is living in India and is an Associate Professor there at OP Jindal Global University, and Executive Deputy Director at the Complexity Economics, Applied Spirituality and Public Policy research center. His current focus is on the quantum-like paradigm, quantum foundations, and complexity science applications in economics and social sciences. He is working with Menas on a book project for a wide understanding of quantum-like reality, and with Professor Kauffman on developing a new framework of emergence of the classical world based on affordance, quantum-Zeno effect and de-coherence.

Co-hosts Jean Houston and Anneloes Smitsman talk with evolutionary economist and futurist Hazel Henderson about the role of global finance, the institutionalization of the seven deadly sins in the algorithms of our mainstream economic systems, as well as how to change this by incentivizing the Golden Rule for the creation of the "love and caring economy."

Hazel reminds us that this is graduation time for our species; "we have to expand our consciousness now to the actual real circumstances of our survival." She warns that the game of incentivizing everything with money by algorithmically rewarding the seven deadly sins is over. She also explains why education should be the fundamental investment that every society makes in its future as the foundation for a healthy democracy. In her closing message, Hazel advises that we need to learn how to decode our own experiences and to evaluate everything we are taught.

Hazel Henderson, D.Sc.Hon., FRSA, is the founder of Ethical Markets Media LLC, and the creator and co-executive Producer of its TV series.
