It’s a no-brainer that today’s world is in crisis. Climate change, melting icecaps, tsunamis, droughts, floods, extreme weather, superstorms, GMO freak “foods”, ongoing global wars, starvation, plastic infested oceans, dying sea life, billions of tortured factory farmed animals, soil depletion, death, corruption, and violence everywhere we turn. The commoditization of the earth, sea, air, plant, animal…humanity. Homo sapien has yet to live up to its billing as a supposedly intelligent species as it brings about the ruin of everything sacred on planet Earth.

It can be so easy to fall into the pit of despair, declaring the hopelessness of our current situation while waiting for the planet to sneeze us off like an annoying germ.

But is this the course of non-action you’d prefer to take? I doubt it. I know that I don’t buy it because I believe that we can live up to our billing as an intelligent species by connecting to the source of higher wisdom in our hearts. When we collectively unite head with heart, miracles can happen. The unification of head with heart will mean the birth of an entirely new human species. A species who has matured into the love at its core – its Divinity. A species who has left the culture of separation behind – once and for all.

This week’s Unplug podcast guest speaks in great detail about just this topic.

Barbara Marx-Hubbard is a visionary futurist with a plethora of experience and wisdom to share. At 84 years young, she says that she is someone who is growing newer rather than older. As the evolutionary impulse to create a brave new world enters the minds and hearts of the growing masses, Barbara has lovingly taken on the role as our passionate leader.

She’s a woman who has produced, hosted, and contributed to countless documentaries seen by millions of people around the world, an author of 7 books, the subject of Neale Donald Walsch’s book “Mother of Invention”, and she’s also been called “the voice for conscious evolution” by Deepak Chopra.

Her website bio states that:

At her heart, Barbara Marx Hubbard is a visionary, a social innovator. She is an evolutionary thinker who believes that global change happens when we work collectively and selflessly for the greater good. She realizes that the lessons of evolution teach us that problems are evolutionary drivers, and crises precede transformation, giving a new way of seeing and responding to our global situation.

Today’s interview is like no other I’ve done before. We deep dive into the future of our potential evolution and we speak about topics such as:

• How women are turning on to the greater self and creating the new world.

• How evolution creates newness.

• The difference between the local self, the higher self, and the Universal self.

• Radical evolutionary new thought – which pushes the edge of evolution.

• How we can either destroy ourselves or evolve ourselves by choice not chance.

• The importance of nurturing our essence.

• Becoming a feminine co-creator.

• How breakdown always precedes breakthrough.

Today’s interview is very unique in it’s futuristic hope. We discuss evolutionary possibilities that are only now just being birthed. The possibility of a new human species that lives from the love, compassion and wisdom in its heart is a beautiful thing. We can only do this when we collectively say yes to the impulse to love more, live more, and give more. Let’s do this together!
