Is the belief that we're all separate from each other actually the root cause of everything going wrong in the world right now? Not metaphorically. Literally. That's the question Steve Farrell has spent 23 years...and one very dramatic exit from Silicon Valley...trying to answer.
Steve co-founded Humanity's Team in 2003 alongside Conversations with God author Neale Donald Walsch. Today the organization spans 70 countries, 700,000 members, and a streaming platform housing over 300 masterclasses from some of the most respected voices in consciousness, science, and spiritual development.
His latest initiative carries a deadline: make conscious living the planetary norm by 2040. He's not kidding.
What we get into:
- Why Einstein called the sense of separation "a kind of prison", over a hundred years ago, and why the science has only gotten more uncomfortable since
- The specific moment Steve told his wife he might never earn another paycheck, and what she said back
- What walking away from rooms that included Gavin Newsom and Apple's marketing genius actually costs you socially, and how those conversations went
- How Steve got out of the market a full year before the 2008 crash, and what that story reveals about the practical dimension of spiritual guidance
- The 2040 tipping point: what "pervasive worldwide" actually means as a measurable condition, and why 800 million people is the number that matters
- The three-minute practice anyone can start today...no background required, no belief required
- Spiritual bypassing vs. sacred activism: how Humanity's Team draws a hard line between feeling good and doing the work
- What it actually feels like to join a global oneness movement when your whole life has been a solo spiritual practice
Steve Farrell isn't here to sell you on a belief system. He's here to make the case that the crisis of separation isn't just a spiritual problem; it's a structural one. And that the solution has been sitting in the overlap between mystical tradition and quantum physics for longer than most of us have been paying attention.
Whether you're all in, just starting, or firmly in the "this sounds interesting but show me the evidence" camp, this episode meets you where you are.
Listen, then go outside for three minutes. You'll understand why.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
- Karen. - Yes.
2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,380
- If you made $75, give or take $75 million.
3
00:00:06,380 --> 00:00:07,380
- I'd be very happy.
4
00:00:07,380 --> 00:00:08,380
- I'd be on that.
5
00:00:08,380 --> 00:00:10,220
Yes. Travel on private jets.
6
00:00:10,220 --> 00:00:14,220
Skied at resorts so exclusive that they don't even have names.
7
00:00:14,220 --> 00:00:15,060
- Ooh.
8
00:00:15,060 --> 00:00:15,900
- Yeah.
9
00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:18,580
Would you just give it all up because of a book told you to?
10
00:00:18,580 --> 00:00:21,060
- I'm gonna give some of it up.
11
00:00:21,060 --> 00:00:23,400
I'm not a very good skier.
12
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,100
- Well, our guest today did exactly that.
13
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:32,700
And then he spent 23 years trying to convince eight billion strangers
14
00:00:32,700 --> 00:00:35,340
that they're all secretly the same person.
15
00:00:35,340 --> 00:00:36,180
- Wow.
16
00:00:36,180 --> 00:00:38,500
- Which honestly, Karen feels like the most ambitious pivot
17
00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:40,300
in the history of career changes.
18
00:00:40,300 --> 00:00:41,940
But here's what nobody's talking about.
19
00:00:41,940 --> 00:00:44,860
See, he's got a deadline, 2040.
20
00:00:44,860 --> 00:00:49,620
That's when he says conscious living goes global.
21
00:00:49,620 --> 00:00:50,460
Karen.
22
00:00:50,460 --> 00:00:51,460
- How old are they?
23
00:00:51,460 --> 00:00:52,460
- I'm calculating.
24
00:00:52,460 --> 00:00:53,300
- 14 years.
25
00:00:53,300 --> 00:00:54,140
- Oh.
26
00:00:54,140 --> 00:00:54,980
- Oh.
27
00:00:54,980 --> 00:00:56,500
- Okay, I'll still be in that with it.
28
00:00:56,500 --> 00:01:00,260
- Right, well, well, he also happened to run the circles that included Gavin Newsom
29
00:01:00,260 --> 00:01:04,660
and Apple's marketing genius Andy Cunningham, sorry for name dropping here, Karen.
30
00:01:04,660 --> 00:01:06,580
But he left that room too.
31
00:01:06,580 --> 00:01:07,580
- Wow.
32
00:01:07,580 --> 00:01:08,580
- On purpose.
33
00:01:08,580 --> 00:01:10,660
Now, we're gonna find out what those people said that made him walk out.
34
00:01:10,660 --> 00:01:11,660
No, I'm teasing.
35
00:01:11,660 --> 00:01:15,900
I don't believe they had anything to do with it, but I do wonder what they said when he walked out.
36
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:16,900
- Yeah.
37
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:21,380
- And we're gonna ask the one question that might break our whole framework.
38
00:01:21,380 --> 00:01:28,380
- What is your life's separation?
39
00:01:28,380 --> 00:01:31,380
Is it root of all suffering?
40
00:01:31,380 --> 00:01:33,380
Is there anything that's actually protecting?
41
00:01:33,380 --> 00:01:36,380
Stick around, the Skeptic Interposition starts now.
42
00:01:36,380 --> 00:01:37,380
My name is Will.
43
00:01:37,380 --> 00:01:38,380
- And I'm Karen.
44
00:01:38,380 --> 00:01:39,380
- And unlike Mulder and Scully.
45
00:01:39,380 --> 00:01:40,380
- Both want to believe.
46
00:01:40,380 --> 00:01:42,380
- So we've embarked on a journey of discovery.
47
00:01:42,380 --> 00:01:45,380
- We've talked to people deeply entrenched in the spiritual and metaphysical world.
48
00:01:45,380 --> 00:01:46,380
- We've thrown ourselves into weird and wonderful experiences.
49
00:01:46,380 --> 00:01:47,380
I even joined a Covenant Witches.
50
00:01:47,380 --> 00:01:48,380
- And, wait, you joined a Covenant?
51
00:01:48,380 --> 00:01:49,380
- Yep, all in the interest of finding something.
52
00:01:49,380 --> 00:01:50,380
- Anything.
53
00:01:50,380 --> 00:01:51,380
- Something beyond this physical...
54
00:01:51,380 --> 00:01:53,380
- Three-dimensional world we all live in.
55
00:01:53,380 --> 00:01:56,380
- This is the Skeptic Metaphysians.
56
00:01:56,380 --> 00:01:57,380
- Hey there.
57
00:01:57,380 --> 00:02:03,380
Before we get to the interview, we have a small ask.
58
00:02:03,380 --> 00:02:06,380
We know that there are tons of options out there.
59
00:02:06,380 --> 00:02:10,380
And having you decide to come along an hour journey of discovery with us,
60
00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:12,380
let an absolute honor for us.
61
00:02:12,380 --> 00:02:16,380
But if you know someone who would benefit from hearing the messages that we're sharing on the show,
62
00:02:16,380 --> 00:02:20,380
then why don't you do them an awesome favor and share the show with them?
63
00:02:20,380 --> 00:02:24,380
Take a moment right now and forward this episode to that person.
64
00:02:24,380 --> 00:02:25,380
That's it.
65
00:02:25,380 --> 00:02:27,380
Just a simple ask for your help in spreading the word.
66
00:02:27,380 --> 00:02:30,380
And see, not only will it help get the word out about us,
67
00:02:30,380 --> 00:02:34,380
but it also might just change someone's life for the better.
68
00:02:34,380 --> 00:02:36,380
Hey, thanks for your help on this.
69
00:02:36,380 --> 00:02:39,380
And without further ado, let's get down to the interview.
70
00:02:39,380 --> 00:02:41,380
- Hey there, I will.
71
00:02:41,380 --> 00:02:42,380
- And I'm Karen.
72
00:02:42,380 --> 00:02:44,380
- And you are listening or watching the Skeptic Metaphysians.
73
00:02:44,380 --> 00:02:48,380
And today we're asking whether the most dangerous idea in the world
74
00:02:48,380 --> 00:02:50,380
might also be the only one worth saving.
75
00:02:50,380 --> 00:02:51,380
- Oh.
76
00:02:51,380 --> 00:02:54,380
- See Steve Farrell is the rare guest who has lived both sides of the divide.
77
00:02:54,380 --> 00:02:56,380
He's asking the world to heal.
78
00:02:56,380 --> 00:03:01,380
He built two, five hundred, top five hundred,
79
00:03:01,380 --> 00:03:05,380
Silicon Valley, he built two,
80
00:03:05,380 --> 00:03:09,380
incorporated five hundred Silicon Valley companies generating over $75 million in revenue,
81
00:03:09,380 --> 00:03:11,380
sat in rooms with huge names,
82
00:03:11,380 --> 00:03:15,380
and then walked away from it all in 2001.
83
00:03:15,380 --> 00:03:19,380
What followed was a co-founding of humanity's team with conversations with God,
84
00:03:19,380 --> 00:03:21,380
author, Neil Donald Walsh.
85
00:03:21,380 --> 00:03:23,380
You know how that name--
86
00:03:23,380 --> 00:03:24,380
- I know what it means to you.
87
00:03:24,380 --> 00:03:30,380
- Now a global movement with more than 700,000 members across 150 countries
88
00:03:30,380 --> 00:03:35,380
anchored by the Humanity Stream Plus platform and a 2040 mission
89
00:03:35,380 --> 00:03:38,380
to make conscious living the planetary norm.
90
00:03:38,380 --> 00:03:43,380
Today he's here with what's likely to be one of the most important messages
91
00:03:43,380 --> 00:03:47,380
that we've ever delivered on the show, the Unity, is not a distant hope
92
00:03:47,380 --> 00:03:52,380
but an urgent, practical choice humanity must make now.
93
00:03:52,380 --> 00:03:58,380
I am beyond excited to welcome Steve Farrell to the show Steve.
94
00:03:58,380 --> 00:04:00,380
Thank you so much for being on the Skeptic Metaphysians.
95
00:04:00,380 --> 00:04:04,380
- Hey, my total pleasure, Will, and Karen, thanks for having me,
96
00:04:04,380 --> 00:04:06,380
and wow, that was a--
97
00:04:06,380 --> 00:04:09,380
- That was a nice entrance, thank you for that.
98
00:04:09,380 --> 00:04:12,380
- Look at what Joplin and everything you shared is true, by the way.
99
00:04:12,380 --> 00:04:13,380
- Wow.
100
00:04:13,380 --> 00:04:18,380
- I am beyond in awe, and we're gonna dive into something out of stuff
101
00:04:18,380 --> 00:04:21,380
because I just can't wrap my head around it.
102
00:04:21,380 --> 00:04:25,380
But I do want to, like, in typical Skeptic Metaphysians fashion,
103
00:04:25,380 --> 00:04:28,380
we dive right into the topic, and then we explore the outliers after that.
104
00:04:28,380 --> 00:04:32,380
But the number one thing that jumps to mind immediately,
105
00:04:32,380 --> 00:04:34,380
your message, you and Neil Donald Walsh,
106
00:04:34,380 --> 00:04:37,380
who, by the way, for those that don't know,
107
00:04:37,380 --> 00:04:42,380
the conversations with God Books were the seminal work for me in my spiritual awakening.
108
00:04:42,380 --> 00:04:44,380
They still are, still have them all here.
109
00:04:44,380 --> 00:04:47,380
But you all, both of you are talking with humanity's team.
110
00:04:47,380 --> 00:04:55,380
You've been talking about Unity, the importance, the sheer importance of everyone uniting now.
111
00:04:55,380 --> 00:04:57,380
And you have a deadline, 2040.
112
00:04:57,380 --> 00:05:01,380
That is quite an ambitious undertaking.
113
00:05:01,380 --> 00:05:04,380
- Especially with the state of the way things are right now.
114
00:05:04,380 --> 00:05:07,380
It's like the polar opposite is happening.
115
00:05:07,380 --> 00:05:10,380
How are we gonna get back together?
116
00:05:10,380 --> 00:05:11,380
- Yeah.
117
00:05:11,380 --> 00:05:13,380
So how we get back together, Steve?
118
00:05:13,380 --> 00:05:15,380
- So, boy, big question.
119
00:05:15,380 --> 00:05:20,380
Well, first let me share, and of course, I've read all the conversations with God Books too.
120
00:05:20,380 --> 00:05:22,380
I talk to Neil all the time.
121
00:05:22,380 --> 00:05:23,380
I'm talking to him later today.
122
00:05:23,380 --> 00:05:25,380
- Oh my God, please say hello to him for me, please.
123
00:05:25,380 --> 00:05:27,380
We're closely together.
124
00:05:27,380 --> 00:05:40,380
These messages from conversations with God, which kind of reduces the complexity of important messages down to just terms that you can't get lost in.
125
00:05:40,380 --> 00:05:42,380
And yes, it's true.
126
00:05:42,380 --> 00:05:47,380
We are all one is the central message in this nine book series.
127
00:05:47,380 --> 00:05:56,380
But here's the thing is, going back to mystical times, to 400 BCE, you have Plato, Platonus, and Lausou.
128
00:05:56,380 --> 00:05:58,380
And just to name three.
129
00:05:58,380 --> 00:05:59,380
Okay.
130
00:05:59,380 --> 00:06:11,380
This notion, the sciences research that everything is a part of one larger consciousness, it's astounding to me, candidly.
131
00:06:11,380 --> 00:06:18,380
This is a so mainstream now because with AI, okay, I challenge viewers and listeners.
132
00:06:18,380 --> 00:06:27,380
Going to AI, and look at the threads, the scientists, the philosophers, the religions, the sacred texts.
133
00:06:27,380 --> 00:06:40,380
Look at the streams of leaders down through time that have shared, no, this is true, that nature actually, of which we are a part, is an expression of universe in God.
134
00:06:40,380 --> 00:06:43,380
Einstein, I know we'll probably go there.
135
00:06:43,380 --> 00:06:50,380
Interestingly, today it is Brock Spinoza, who is getting a good deal of attention.
136
00:06:50,380 --> 00:06:57,380
He came 100 years later after Galileo, Galileo was 16th century, Spinoza was 17th century.
137
00:06:57,380 --> 00:07:03,380
And he shared that there's no separation, you know, creator and creator are actually one.
138
00:07:03,380 --> 00:07:09,380
And Musk, I'm not a, I don't really follow Elon Musk that closely, but every now and again, I get on to X.
139
00:07:09,380 --> 00:07:14,380
And there is this huge conversation he opened up very recently, saying, you know, Spinoza was probably right.
140
00:07:14,380 --> 00:07:23,380
There's probably no separation. Nature is actually just, just a expression of universe and divine God.
141
00:07:23,380 --> 00:07:29,380
And of course, there's almost a perfect bridge. I know we'll get to that too here as we talk about science and spirituality.
142
00:07:29,380 --> 00:07:36,380
So that's just number one, that the foundation, the basis, the research, the science, believe me, it is all in.
143
00:07:36,380 --> 00:07:43,380
We should do an hour, just like talking about these leaders who have invested their lives, including Einstein, by the way.
144
00:07:43,380 --> 00:07:46,380
Right? Einstein said the greatest illusion in the world.
145
00:07:46,380 --> 00:07:49,380
It's the illusion of separation.
146
00:07:49,380 --> 00:07:53,380
That was in 1920, so that was over 100 years ago.
147
00:07:53,380 --> 00:07:59,380
The greatest, this had ever walked here. Now the 2040, okay, where'd that come from?
148
00:07:59,380 --> 00:08:07,380
So let's, the basis here, right, is there's no separation. So I have things dropped in all the time. And so does Neil.
149
00:08:07,380 --> 00:08:11,380
And so do you all, by the way, we could just call it intuition or gut feeling in these things.
150
00:08:11,380 --> 00:08:17,380
But it dropped in years ago to Neil and I of yes, 2040 was the tipping point.
151
00:08:17,380 --> 00:08:23,380
So a tipping point as we know is eight to 10%. There are eight billion people here.
152
00:08:23,380 --> 00:08:35,380
So let's call that 800 million people that are understanding now there's an awareness of this oneness that oh my God, you know, I grew up as, by the way, Catholic altar boy.
153
00:08:35,380 --> 00:08:44,380
So I get it where people say, you know, what, you know, God's up in the sky. Come on, you know, I get that, you know, I grew up that way too.
154
00:08:44,380 --> 00:08:52,380
So, but if you spend some time with this science or these streams of thought go back into sacred text, including the Bible, by the way.
155
00:08:52,380 --> 00:09:01,380
And you really see and understand this notion that there's no separation. Yes, we can absolutely pray to the sky, but we don't have to.
156
00:09:01,380 --> 00:09:05,380
You know, we just go in and quiet ourselves, you know, go into this illness.
157
00:09:05,380 --> 00:09:18,380
So it dropped in and it said that with all of the challenging today's world and here I know we're all together with listeners and viewers, but just look out the window, you know, this is a challenging time.
158
00:09:18,380 --> 00:09:25,380
We don't even have to look at the documentaries that say existential crisis if we keep going in that direction.
159
00:09:25,380 --> 00:09:32,380
We can just look out the window and say, boy, you know, with kids and future generations, there must be a better way, right?
160
00:09:32,380 --> 00:09:43,380
Well, guess what? So what are we talking about here now? You know, and thank you. You framed a beautifully coming into the program that there actually is a causal factor, a first domino.
161
00:09:43,380 --> 00:09:52,380
And it's just simple, just what Einstein said and there's many more quotes. I just shared one that this is the greatest illusion in the world.
162
00:09:52,380 --> 00:10:04,380
So you'll learn a separation. Science is coming in everywhere now, you know, with this term entanglement of no physical, but deeply affecting each other actually connect it, right?
163
00:10:04,380 --> 00:10:12,380
And there are other terms that scientists are using to say, yes, they're actually is maybe a consciousness with a capital C that nature is tuned into all the time.
164
00:10:12,380 --> 00:10:26,380
This is a humanity as an on off switch and we're born most of us with it on off. So we just think we're separate. We walk around as though we're separate. We're depressed sometimes because we're separate. Let me stop there.
165
00:10:26,380 --> 00:10:27,380
No, go ahead, please.
166
00:10:27,380 --> 00:10:36,380
So I'm thinking, yes, you know, we have this really strong feeling of separation, but I mean, there's some people out there. I don't want to be one with you.
167
00:10:36,380 --> 00:10:42,380
I mean, how do you reconcile that? I mean, you see it at this.
168
00:10:42,380 --> 00:10:49,380
Well, that's, you know, and thank you and true, you know, and I get that because again, I grew up like those people.
169
00:10:49,380 --> 00:10:58,380
It's scary. You know, at first thought of what? You know, then so God might be within me that may be my soul. You know, is like God space, right?
170
00:10:58,380 --> 00:11:11,380
And there's a lot that you want to try and get your head around and I don't know whether or like that. And you know, but here's the thing. And we're having to kind of really come down to just hit some simple steps because of time.
171
00:11:11,380 --> 00:11:27,380
But we also work with the top mediums in the world. You know, James Von Prague, who's on all the television stations and other Suzanne Geese and Karen, also the top near death experience leaders like Dr. Ab and Alexander who many people have read proof of heaven.
172
00:11:27,380 --> 00:11:30,380
We've had both Suzanne and Dr. Alain Rohn to show.
173
00:11:30,380 --> 00:11:32,380
Okay. Yeah. They're fantastic.
174
00:11:32,380 --> 00:11:44,380
You know, they're well respected, you know, in the science and research community. So and what what they share, you know, unanimously as we come from the light, we return to the light.
175
00:11:44,380 --> 00:11:51,380
When we come from and return to that's the only container that we live in or candle in the sun is one way of expressing it.
176
00:11:51,380 --> 00:11:58,380
So that's just what is so I like to Steven cubby quote, you know, begin with the end in mind.
177
00:11:58,380 --> 00:12:02,380
That's his habit number two of a seven, right?
178
00:12:02,380 --> 00:12:10,380
If if in fact, that is the reality that we come from and the reality that we return to.
179
00:12:10,380 --> 00:12:22,380
Then just where we're pushing back on it or resisting it just we just spend some time with it, you know, mock in nature and still your mind and just kind of go with then and say, this is troubles me. Can you help me with this?
180
00:12:22,380 --> 00:12:28,380
Just ask the basic questions. God actually has a beautiful sense of humor too and you can even do some chuckling there to go.
181
00:12:28,380 --> 00:12:38,380
So, but where I think that leads us is we actually do come into this place of wow, you know, that wisdom actually is here.
182
00:12:38,380 --> 00:12:46,380
Right. The guidance is here. All of that is here. And it's just waiting for that relationship that you want to you want to live in too.
183
00:12:46,380 --> 00:12:54,380
Can we kind of define what we're talking about here because everyone just tosses a word around unity and we are one that kind of thing.
184
00:12:54,380 --> 00:13:02,380
But what exactly are you talking are we the same person split into many, many different bodies? Are we just connected in some way?
185
00:13:02,380 --> 00:13:06,380
Can we just level set for the rest of the conversation?
186
00:13:06,380 --> 00:13:18,380
Yeah. Yeah. So, what back in the, you know, we'll date ourselves here in the 70s, you know, where they had the that ball, a crystal ball that turned in the head, you know, like a thousand faces on it. Right.
187
00:13:18,380 --> 00:13:27,380
Yeah. So that that's one metaphor we could use because there's a basis there. There's a center of it that we all come from.
188
00:13:27,380 --> 00:13:37,380
That's that God or universe center, source creator center, which is pure love really if we want to just kind of get it down to two words.
189
00:13:37,380 --> 00:13:48,380
Sure. But as we know, even the three of us and certainly viewers and people listening and, you know, we all have these different guests, different things that we're called to.
190
00:13:48,380 --> 00:13:56,380
We're all really quite different. This is not homogenized milk. You know, it's more like the 50 states, you know, North Carolina, Alaska are quite different.
191
00:13:56,380 --> 00:14:05,380
Sure. New York in California are quite different. Right. So, and that's what makes this beautiful is we all have these very unique expressions.
192
00:14:05,380 --> 00:14:16,380
And, and that's really why we embody because there's a, there's a particular expression I have that is that that can gift something to the world if I want to go in that direction.
193
00:14:16,380 --> 00:14:38,380
Every viewer and listener that's here and not by accident actually has that too. I think that's why they're listening yet is because that's ultimately what we're here to do is not so much to talk about me, but to talk about the incredible invitation for each of us to really get that gift that we that we brought to the world at this very challenging time.
194
00:14:38,380 --> 00:14:49,380
Yeah, that's a great point. And I think I might have to rethink my volunteering to come at this time. So, I think it might be too late, but I would love to try to say, you know, I didn't mean to come in.
195
00:14:49,380 --> 00:15:00,380
So, what happens if 2040 comes and first you mentioned the words pervasive worldwide, making conscious living pervasive worldwide?
196
00:15:00,380 --> 00:15:10,380
I love you to define what does that mean exactly? What does pervasive mean? And then what happens if we don't reach that tipping point by 2040?
197
00:15:10,380 --> 00:15:20,380
Yeah, so I mean, we could, I do use pervasive sometimes to use prevalent too. And I'm, I'm really, what I'm really driving at is it's not ubiquitous because 14 years isn't that far out.
198
00:15:20,380 --> 00:15:22,380
It's next is tomorrow.
199
00:15:22,380 --> 00:15:32,380
For tipping point of 8 to 10%, you know, 800 million people, that's a lot of people. Here's the thing I was talking to, you know, members of my family don't all get this.
200
00:15:32,380 --> 00:15:40,380
That was, you know, if I were to back up to when I walked away from all of that world that you described, that was pretty challenging for family and friends.
201
00:15:40,380 --> 00:15:42,380
I can imagine I've got several questions about that.
202
00:15:42,380 --> 00:15:44,380
Yes.
203
00:15:44,380 --> 00:16:06,380
So, but my, my brother, who was one of the most challenged my older brother, I was talking to him the other day and he was saying, wow Steve, you know, I am seeing more science now everywhere that's talking about this oneness and one consciousness and deeply interconnected and it's like, wow, this work that you've been on 23 years.
204
00:16:06,380 --> 00:16:16,380
It seems like it's found its time here. So, I think that, I think this is really getting out on the world, the science side of it is getting out even faster than the spiritual side.
205
00:16:16,380 --> 00:16:20,380
But again, there's a bridge. So, if it's one is also the other.
206
00:16:20,380 --> 00:16:33,380
I think it's so helpful that the science side is now really getting well known because it makes a lot of the, we know, it's called a mainstream people more comfortable agreeing with it or, you know, feeling like part of that as well.
207
00:16:33,380 --> 00:16:35,380
Because the science side is not like that.
208
00:16:35,380 --> 00:16:38,380
Yeah, the woo, the woo, crazy person in the corner.
209
00:16:38,380 --> 00:16:43,380
But so, to your point, more and more people are getting behind these things.
210
00:16:43,380 --> 00:16:54,380
We ourselves have brought together a huge amount of people together on a platform that helps spread these messages to get it out to more and more people.
211
00:16:54,380 --> 00:17:02,380
But I don't know if there's a lot of people that are dabblers that are starting in on this thing,
212
00:17:02,380 --> 00:17:06,380
then there's people that are all in. There's a lot of, probably the majority are right in the middle.
213
00:17:06,380 --> 00:17:17,380
So, what I'm trying to understand is, out of that 800 million people, how deep do we have to be in for us to tip that scale?
214
00:17:17,380 --> 00:17:24,380
Well, I, you know, this is where trust and faith come in.
215
00:17:24,380 --> 00:17:32,380
I do believe that I walked away from all of the, what you described, you know, for a reason here we are 23 years in.
216
00:17:32,380 --> 00:17:36,380
It's incredible how far we've come, actually.
217
00:17:36,380 --> 00:17:44,380
And then I look at people, you know, 2000 years ago, and then 2500 years ago, Buddha and Christ, and, you know, not to mention all of the others.
218
00:17:44,380 --> 00:17:58,380
So, the possibility of mind-bind, that they all came, you know, even in recent times, you know, Mother Teresa and Jane Goodall, that they all came and did this incredible work, and then we just fell off a cliff.
219
00:17:58,380 --> 00:18:03,380
Oh, darn, you know, the existential crisis got us out.
220
00:18:03,380 --> 00:18:13,380
That, that possibility is, is no, you would not, Buddha would not have come, nor would have Christ, nor would have these others.
221
00:18:13,380 --> 00:18:17,380
And I'm a little figure in this, you know, with what I'm doing.
222
00:18:17,380 --> 00:18:27,380
But, so, you know, as I look at babies being born into the world in young persons, and what I want for them, because I've had such a marvelous life, I'm not really worried about myself.
223
00:18:27,380 --> 00:18:37,380
But, I see that, yes, this turning point is happening. We're actually creating an impact report we do every year, and, and we're calling it, we are the turning point.
224
00:18:37,380 --> 00:18:41,380
Because we're out with this message, you know, of this causal factor.
225
00:18:41,380 --> 00:18:46,380
Let me go to something personal here, too, because we're more talking in the collective.
226
00:18:46,380 --> 00:18:50,380
You know, why would I walk away from what I did?
227
00:18:50,380 --> 00:18:56,380
You know, the incredible wealth there, and Silicon Valley with the, with the true movers and shakers.
228
00:18:56,380 --> 00:19:03,380
The reason I walked away is because I didn't find it there. Life is a really precious thing.
229
00:19:03,380 --> 00:19:08,380
It's a really precious thing, and what you do with your life is the most precious thing that you're going to do.
230
00:19:08,380 --> 00:19:21,380
And I, I realized when I was there, I was playing a kids game, where I'm, where I'm, I've got pretty good at founding companies, being a CEO, strategy, and, you know, harnessing the team and that.
231
00:19:21,380 --> 00:19:28,380
But at the end of my life, I knew I was going to be very unhappy if I just had played this serial entrepreneur kids game.
232
00:19:28,380 --> 00:19:34,380
And so I left. And now, now I'm 23 years into this other journey that we're just beginning to talk about.
233
00:19:34,380 --> 00:19:39,380
What we, you can call it conscious living or the awakened way, right? That's a lot of different names.
234
00:19:39,380 --> 00:19:50,380
But here is where I found it. So, to people that are maybe, you know, or changes uncomfortable as it is for most people, I would, I would invite them to really listen in.
235
00:19:50,380 --> 00:19:58,380
Your program is about this. Our work is about this. Listen in. Listen to, and look at first steps that you can take.
236
00:19:58,380 --> 00:20:06,380
I will promise every person that you actually will find it. This is not a preference thing to one or some group of people.
237
00:20:06,380 --> 00:20:13,380
This is actually, we're all actually part of that common one. So we all are favored in this.
238
00:20:13,380 --> 00:20:31,380
And if we want to, if, if, if listeners viewers are a little challenged by these times, you know, if there's more anxiety than you'd like, if you're not as fulfilled as you'd like, OK, we will take you to places where anxiety is going to just melt away.
239
00:20:31,380 --> 00:20:48,380
We'll start challenges, but division, anxieties, depression, these things, they will melt away. And when we challenges just from this really much, much better place and live, I think the likes that we were all ultimately invited to live when we embody.
240
00:20:48,380 --> 00:21:00,380
That's really what we're talking about is just laying out an invitation to another way of living that's going to be so much more fulfilling than this Western way where we think we're all separate.
241
00:21:00,380 --> 00:21:13,380
It sounds wonderful, but I see not, not, but new thought. I think it might be a little frightening to a lot of people who are kind of stuck in that rat race and they have to work at this job.
242
00:21:13,380 --> 00:21:19,380
They don't like so that they can pay the bill to keep the roof over their head, the food in their mouth, that they don't necessarily like either.
243
00:21:19,380 --> 00:21:28,380
And they would love to try something like this. How do you get the courage to stop that?
244
00:21:28,380 --> 00:21:42,380
Well, I did, and I wrote two books, including a recent one that's in soft launch called the inner way, reclaimed the truth of who you are while you're here. I wrote these books to actually just support people in this. The fact is new book is pre actually on candle.
245
00:21:42,380 --> 00:21:57,380
The inner way you could go to Amazon is free under candle less 1099 on paperback, but to just take people through the story of this whole unfolding, it's an unfolding where we begin with just trusting that the one is here creator and created or one.
246
00:21:57,380 --> 00:22:09,380
There's no separation. So where you, whether you're walking in nature and meditation or prayer, you're just quieting yourself and going within and just starting with those questions of, hey, I'm candidly uncomfortable here. God if you're here.
247
00:22:09,380 --> 00:22:18,380
I'm uncomfortable. I don't know whether any of this is true. And my belief systems here are everything supporting me and my family.
248
00:22:18,380 --> 00:22:37,380
So, you know, there's an unfolding that that begins where we, where we take a journey as we, as our trust and faith grows, what I will share is, oh my gosh. I mean, I, I even get up in the, you know, as you know, there's some AM radio stations that are two in the morning.
249
00:22:37,380 --> 00:22:55,380
I get up in those because this is an invitation that everybody on the whole planet should hear more than once. It is such an incredible invitation to just go into that stillness begin a relationship yet guidance, get support.
250
00:22:55,380 --> 00:23:11,380
And the other side of this is where that doesn't happen. My dad passed away without becoming conscious. He was quite up and down. We can actually talk to him from the other side. This goes back to medium ship and that.
251
00:23:11,380 --> 00:23:24,380
Near death experience and he shares you know, I'm sorry. I wish I wish I had come into more of an awakened or conscious state that didn't happen during this lifetime. And there's a lot of I saw, I'm sorry.
252
00:23:24,380 --> 00:23:37,380
So, as I'm talking to people, what I want to do, my level best is just authentically share kind of my own story, how it unfolded and invite people to before their end comes.
253
00:23:37,380 --> 00:23:53,380
To look at a way of living that maybe is going to be much more fulfilling than the way that they're living their lives now. So it does take some courage. That's my books are hopefully here of the inner way this book.
254
00:23:53,380 --> 00:24:04,380
I referenced people that are viewers. The inner way reclaim the truth of who you are and why you're here. That's what we're talking about isn't reclaiming the truth of who we are.
255
00:24:04,380 --> 00:24:14,380
And why we're here and then I just go through all of these practices that were my own practices that were my own courage, my own strength, my own journey.
256
00:24:14,380 --> 00:24:26,380
Well speaking of your journey, want to go back to that time when you were in those big circles, driving all that revenue, those companies.
257
00:24:26,380 --> 00:24:42,380
You mentioned that you didn't find what you were looking for in those spaces. So does that imply that you were already somewhat awakened there and found that it wasn't there or did something happen that awakened you to the fact that this is not where I meant to be.
258
00:24:42,380 --> 00:24:57,380
It was a confluence of things I have my mother and my sister call in in 1995 when I was right in the thick of that American dream growth thing. But you know, our company was just growing like crazy.
259
00:24:57,380 --> 00:25:04,380
So that was quite interesting and exciting. I didn't grow up that way. I grew up with a single divorced mom was a legal secretary.
260
00:25:04,380 --> 00:25:16,380
I paid for my own braces when I was 12 from a paper route. So while I didn't open this, you know, this is all new to me and as I could imagine, it was like, wow, this is pretty interesting.
261
00:25:16,380 --> 00:25:24,380
But I did, you know, I mentioned to all trip. I mean, I had a place in my heart for for the God of my understanding.
262
00:25:24,380 --> 00:25:34,380
So I was encouraged to read this book one of conversations with God by Neil Donald Walsh to get send to a lot of the things we're talking about here now.
263
00:25:34,380 --> 00:25:46,380
And the God of my understanding was there, you know, of just this loving, not judging or punishing, but the one that had been supporting me on my journey from just this little kit.
264
00:25:46,380 --> 00:26:01,380
Now living in this place of riches and fame and so then a relationship began to form and then over a period of months and years. I said also especially looking out at the world even in the 90s things were challenging, not as bad as now.
265
00:26:01,380 --> 00:26:10,380
But I was like, you know, I don't I think I'm I think I'm here to serve other purposes than just be a great entrepreneur.
266
00:26:10,380 --> 00:26:23,380
So then you make the decision to walk away. First I need to ask Stephanie and your wife, how did she take that? Like what do you do? What? You was excuse me?
267
00:26:23,380 --> 00:26:38,380
Yeah, fortunately, you know, you're guided through life. So and I had been even before this happened. I was guided to date and then marry a woman that could be a spiritual partner in this.
268
00:26:38,380 --> 00:26:52,380
So obviously most of the women that I was dating, oh my God, when I said, I did go to Stephanie. There was a day I went to when I said Stephanie. I may not have another, not my may not earn another paycheck for the rest of my life.
269
00:26:52,380 --> 00:27:04,380
But I'm called to this and I'm sorry. And then no, I need to give myself to this and, you know, it's just something that could work for us. And she immediately said it can and will let's go.
270
00:27:04,380 --> 00:27:23,380
We adopted two kids, both open adoption. Even before we started a family. So I was led to somebody who could take this journey with me. Most women in those circles would would have said, you know, you go, man, yeah, I just have one question. And that's for you Karen.
271
00:27:23,380 --> 00:27:35,380
Oh, I may never pick another paycheck again, but I'm really being called to doing this. Are you okay with that? It's good thing I just got a job.
272
00:27:35,380 --> 00:27:48,380
No, that's incredibly supportive. And you were you were wonderfully fortunate. Yeah, that's great word for it to have found the perfect person to help support you in that path.
273
00:27:48,380 --> 00:28:00,380
But I'm going to cut you off for one second just because I have to say I love the term the God of my understanding. That is such a perfect way to say that I love that.
274
00:28:00,380 --> 00:28:01,380
I call that out.
275
00:28:01,380 --> 00:28:13,380
Well, so so you were for two to just to find that in Stephanie. However, the folks that you were leaving behind in this world. What did they say when you said, yeah, I'm out of here.
276
00:28:13,380 --> 00:28:25,380
Like when do you what do you nuts? Is it something like that? Yeah, that was rough. That was because, you know, and I was in young I was young entrepreneur's organization.
277
00:28:25,380 --> 00:28:35,380
I was the president actually for Silicon Valley and San Francisco. So one guy that went on to become a billionaire was in my was in my, you know, team there of YEO.
278
00:28:35,380 --> 00:28:46,380
Then I was in YPO where I had like you mentioned Gavin is some Andy Cunningham, Mahid Mogadam, who was the CEO.
279
00:28:46,380 --> 00:28:51,380
We just stepped down. He's not the chairman of the of the largest real estate equity investment trust in the whole world.
280
00:28:51,380 --> 00:29:04,380
Yeah, pro lot. These were three, you know, Humid was a buddy. So was Andy Gavin wasn't a really a buddy. But we, you know, I'd set it at a dinner table with him and his wife and you know Gavin stuff.
281
00:29:04,380 --> 00:29:14,380
So they they love me for who I was and and thought I was a very capable guy.
282
00:29:14,380 --> 00:29:19,380
You know, you get to know people and it's their heart that they that you really get to know and love.
283
00:29:19,380 --> 00:29:27,380
And I think that's how they felt about me. They were discouraged when I said, you know, I'm going on a spiritual journey.
284
00:29:27,380 --> 00:29:39,380
I don't really have a place here in business any longer and they were saying, oh, you know, don't throw it away. You don't want to do that. And they were laying out these options of you can do this and that and it can still work for you in the chapter.
285
00:29:39,380 --> 00:29:51,380
And I said, you know, I thank you. That's really not where I want to go. So there was some tough friendship kinds of discussions as they were seeing. I was going to peel off.
286
00:29:51,380 --> 00:30:01,380
I told a brother flew out and and said, you know, you're right about the planet and that, but what can one person do? And you don't want to Steve. You don't want to be a sacrificial lamb here.
287
00:30:01,380 --> 00:30:13,380
You know, so just be careful. You know, and you might consider there was one one venture capital is in particular wanted to put me on boards and train other entrepreneurs and stuff.
288
00:30:13,380 --> 00:30:27,380
And I said, you know, I can't do that. So it was tough. It was tough. You know, there was some real courage there. This is where, you know, I mentioned that you're gut feeling right tuition.
289
00:30:27,380 --> 00:30:34,380
As we know, it can become very strong when you select your partner when you select your home, your work and stuff.
290
00:30:34,380 --> 00:30:48,380
So it was very strong and and the thing that I knew was that I needed to follow that no matter where it might take me even if I was going to hit the cliff, you know, kind of flying with this.
291
00:30:48,380 --> 00:31:00,380
With this vision, I've been given one of the things I was understanding though. And this is actually in the Bible and sacred text is when you're given vision, you're always given provision.
292
00:31:00,380 --> 00:31:12,380
So if there's something really powerful that you're being called to do where people are saying, what are you doing? Don't worry, you know, because you're going to get provision that'll take you there.
293
00:31:12,380 --> 00:31:21,380
And it's not you will walk across some desert sometimes barefoot very challenging. I mentioned challenges don't go away, but you'll be guided even through those deserts.
294
00:31:21,380 --> 00:31:35,380
So that's kind of what's happened. There've been the stock market as you know, been all over the place, including now in those years, 1999 is when I sold my company E and S that provided the abundance for all of this.
295
00:31:35,380 --> 00:31:48,380
And I've been guided in and out of markets. I mean, it's that's part of the provision. I'm guided even today, you know, of what how to invest and where to invest and I've done, you know, quite well for myself that way.
296
00:31:48,380 --> 00:31:53,380
Cool. You got any tips? I had to ask these.
297
00:31:53,380 --> 00:32:03,380
So this is where, you know, people are, well, you know, I like this, but I got to keep this job, even though I'm being called to something different.
298
00:32:03,380 --> 00:32:11,380
I'm saying, no, go. You know, you will get your you'll get your, we all get those tips. That provision will come to each and every person.
299
00:32:11,380 --> 00:32:22,380
So don't feel like you're handcuffed to a job for income. Don't don't let that happen. Too many people at the end of their lives go, oh my god, you know, I should have, should have what I could have.
300
00:32:22,380 --> 00:32:26,380
Don't do that.
301
00:32:26,380 --> 00:32:29,380
That's very easily said.
302
00:32:29,380 --> 00:32:33,380
It just so happens. I'm in that exact position right now personally.
303
00:32:33,380 --> 00:32:41,380
And we're working, we're hoping our provision comes before we actually abandon the revenue stream that we were getting.
304
00:32:41,380 --> 00:32:51,380
But it is a, it is a scary thing to do to jump off that cliff and trust. But you're right. It's a, it's a type of trust that,
305
00:32:51,380 --> 00:33:03,380
where we to really feel that oneness, that unity with all that is wouldn't be such a problem. It's the separation that becomes the issue that drives out fear.
306
00:33:03,380 --> 00:33:18,380
And unfortunately, today, it's more difficult than ever to find yourself in oneness because of all the garbage that is happening, all the things were being fed,
307
00:33:18,380 --> 00:33:30,380
day in and day out. How, how does someone, have you ever had a day where you just didn't feel like Steve was one with the world?
308
00:33:30,380 --> 00:33:33,380
And is so, how do you handle times like that?
309
00:33:33,380 --> 00:33:40,380
Nothing makes us happier than to hear or read messages from those that are resonating with the messages we're sharing on the show.
310
00:33:40,380 --> 00:33:48,380
So if you have a moment, we love for you to leave us a review on Apple podcasts or any other podcasting platform that supports them.
311
00:33:48,380 --> 00:33:58,380
You are the reason we do this show and knowing what you like and don't like, we're not going to help us craft the very best show we can so that we can help raise the vibration of the planet together.
312
00:33:58,380 --> 00:34:03,380
Okay, I've kept you from the interview long enough. So let's get to it. Thanks for listening.
313
00:34:03,380 --> 00:34:13,380
So, you know, our daily practices and our rituals and things are crucial, but they're what anchor us through good times and bad.
314
00:34:13,380 --> 00:34:18,380
I would say I've never felt more guided, supported.
315
00:34:18,380 --> 00:34:26,380
I mentioned, you know, I don't like to use a word, where favored and things because it sounds like there's some group favorite and some not.
316
00:34:26,380 --> 00:34:38,380
But the thing is, is as we come into this underlying unity and one, this is we understand that we actually are deeply favored each of us in our own marvelous extraordinary way.
317
00:34:38,380 --> 00:34:55,380
I'm in touch with that always and I have my own affirmations that where I write down what I know to be true and when I'm working out in the morning, part of my daily rituals, I go read those affirmations or sometimes I'll, I won't read them and I'll instead go to this.
318
00:34:55,380 --> 00:35:08,380
This guidance of this awakened oneness, this new spirituality, this conscious living, this becoming prevalent, I'll actually go and feel into that with all of what I know to be supporting that.
319
00:35:08,380 --> 00:35:16,380
So I have prayers, rituals, affirmations. Of course, I'm incredibly intentional with this.
320
00:35:16,380 --> 00:35:31,380
And even I don't know that we need to talk about metaphysical, well, you call yourselves metaphici and so metaphisy. And so we, you all would understand that, but where I'm actually going right out to that created realm and I'm seeing it, feeling it, tasting it and touching it.
321
00:35:31,380 --> 00:35:36,380
I feel that now what is coming to the earth right now.
322
00:35:36,380 --> 00:35:49,380
And then again, that's at the collective level at the individual level, I have, it's unreal. The miracles that come in, the guide me in my own work and investing and things.
323
00:35:49,380 --> 00:36:02,380
I mean, just people wouldn't believe it, but and the thing is is it's not happening just to me, this is this path, this is the journey that I'm talking about.
324
00:36:02,380 --> 00:36:17,380
So this is what happens to you, to each and every listener and viewer is we all are the preferred one, the masterpiece, the one sent by our, the most high, you know, who sent it into this life.
325
00:36:17,380 --> 00:36:29,380
We all have a role to play. It's very special. Every single one of us. And that's the thing is if you can hold on to that preference, that specialist, that masterpiece, that love that's beyond measure.
326
00:36:29,380 --> 00:36:35,380
If you can feel that and hold on to that, then boy, you know, right, you're going to just be bounding out of bed every day.
327
00:36:35,380 --> 00:36:40,380
Yeah, this brings me into so many different things that when I do what we don't have time, go ahead, sorry.
328
00:36:40,380 --> 00:36:47,380
So how, if someone is not really familiar with all of the stuff we're talking about, you know, and maybe they stumble onto this podcast.
329
00:36:47,380 --> 00:36:50,380
And they're like, oh, that sounds really interesting. I don't even know where to start.
330
00:36:50,380 --> 00:36:53,380
How, where does someone start?
331
00:36:53,380 --> 00:37:19,380
Well, first let me share the, what they could do here right today is just after watching this program or listening to it is just go go outside or find a quiet place inside where you can just go into stillness and just bring what you're sitting with, you know, of is this real, is there a possibility for me or their things I might want to consider here.
332
00:37:19,380 --> 00:37:28,380
These are the kinds of things that might be starting, bring that and just give yourself three minutes, not more than that, you know, you can call it sip of the divine, right.
333
00:37:28,380 --> 00:37:39,380
Just three minutes where you're sitting with that and saying if there's somebody here, you know, can I, can I hear some kind of response that can serve me that can guide me now.
334
00:37:39,380 --> 00:38:02,380
So just do that. Those are the first steps that you can take that if I think you'll he will hear something, you'll be guided and then you can maybe give yourself more time and create your own practice or add probably people have a practice already, but add to that practice things like this that can get this whole unfold and going really support this journey.
335
00:38:02,380 --> 00:38:23,380
I'll just say humanities team as well we're a 501c3 we're a nonprofit so we don't have a bottom line as you mentioned we have a deadline, no bottom line, it's a 2040 tipping point turning points of lots of free programs that's spill with a Y humanities team dot org is we're a nonprofit and programs up at the top go to free programs.
336
00:38:23,380 --> 00:38:52,380
There's all of these free programs from scientists from spiritual leaders and body practices go through some of the free programs and just it'll nurture your journey as well that's wonderful and humanities team isn't just that now we touched on a topic humanities team you have active projects in over 65 countries that is remarkable operational reach can take us inside one of those countries programs somewhere that we wouldn't expect and tells what.
337
00:38:52,380 --> 00:39:04,380
What the work of awakening to one is actually looks like on the ground there yeah so yeah we're now at 70 countries with country corners all volunteers I'm a volunteer to I mentioned no paycheck.
338
00:39:04,380 --> 00:39:21,380
Yes, yes, yeah, my wife is actually in work in almost full time as a volunteer yeah so Pakistan you know we have a country coordinator we just we do calls with them every month we're just on a call of the country coordinator from Pakistan was in and
339
00:39:21,380 --> 00:39:50,380
talking about things that she's doing book club and programs are putting out in the world we do free summits every 60 days so they're inviting the people that are English speaking from their countries to come into the free summits we broadcast them just like this is being broadcast their life and they include you know Neil Donald wall she and Michael back with and Greg Brighton and Suzanne geese met all of these people that are part of this team.
340
00:39:50,380 --> 00:40:17,380
So yeah we are now the largest actually streaming platform for consciousness raising master classes in the whole world right now over 300 of these master classes and then there's a streaming program called humanity stream plus you mentioned it in the introduction and that's now 299 a year for all of the like 300 programs and then the live programs each week.
341
00:40:17,380 --> 00:40:24,380
And here's the cool thing because we're not profit is we created a one for one so when you buy your own.
342
00:40:24,380 --> 00:40:43,380
So become a member or steward with us for the 299 you actually trigger an immediate free scholarship for somebody and else out in the world is also a journey who doesn't have 299 right so it's a one one is an action type program that's great you know that is amazing.
343
00:40:43,380 --> 00:40:52,380
And your master classes you mean you've got the biggest names in spirituality there you talking Michael back with.
344
00:40:52,380 --> 00:41:11,380
I mean Greg Braden who slipped in you've got incredible teachers spiritual guidance that that will help anyone especially those that are having it finding it difficult to find themselves in in oneness with everything is going on is there.
345
00:41:11,380 --> 00:41:18,380
Is there any kind of danger to this one this conversation.
346
00:41:18,380 --> 00:41:33,380
For example some people called the feel good all the time movement kind of spiritual bypassing kind of thing right is there a danger in relying on this unity.
347
00:41:33,380 --> 00:41:37,380
Consciousness too much for someone.
348
00:41:37,380 --> 00:41:42,380
So it's a good question but absolutely not so okay.
349
00:41:42,380 --> 00:41:55,380
Yeah now this is this is important thank you for for surfacing this a spiritual bypass of courses where like we're just in under bonnestate or something and just really tuned in to what's going on in the world.
350
00:41:55,380 --> 00:42:08,380
But we are all activists so we are going in the other direction entirely you know of you you saw the important letter to humanity right you reference that Neil Donald Walsh and I put out it's an activist.
351
00:42:08,380 --> 00:42:12,380
Letter and we've come on to lots of programs all over the world.
352
00:42:12,380 --> 00:42:16,380
What are we saying in this important letter to humanity we're saying.
353
00:42:16,380 --> 00:42:45,380
The science is now supporting this spiritual message that has been shared down to the ages that the research is in you know entangle men is real that this consciousness that is from our source I like to use the term creator even the divine my science friends still use a word universe but we're saying the same thing you know that we actually are a part of this larger one and where we were given free well or we decide to tune in through our practices and start.
354
00:42:45,380 --> 00:43:05,380
Living as I call it our higher self which is more that solo line life where that's where we're really following that still small voice where we do that oh my god we're so well protected or I've even brought in you know investment it's not just protected it's just prosper you know I mean I.
355
00:43:05,380 --> 00:43:34,380
Remember the let me just give you a sense I've come back to this a few times remember the 2000 great recession 2007 to 2010 boy do we ever yeah so there was a the that S&P 500 what 7000 I was given a year in advance that that would be its peak and I had me in my family out right there at the top there in August of 2007 wow how do you trust that.
356
00:43:34,380 --> 00:43:54,380
That whole the 2010 I had nothing in the market I was completely out on the sideline because that was so devastating see remember I don't have an income stream so if what I did have had gone through the great recession I would have been taken out right so therefore I a whole year in advance I was given that.
357
00:43:54,380 --> 00:44:13,380
Those kinds of things that just have kept me in it so I've been protected guided supported prosper you know and it's not unique to me I want to keep coming back to that this is your journey the listeners journey that we're inviting people to absolutely but someone like me who.
358
00:44:13,380 --> 00:44:42,380
I fully on board with everything you're saying kind of going around life not really paying attention as much as I want to pay attention I don't because it's just my nature how I get on a bandwagon and listen to because they say the universe the divine it's very subtle like when you were given that that instruction to get out I'm sure it's very very subtle message that you said I'm going to follow this path first of all takes incredible courage because.
359
00:44:42,380 --> 00:44:51,380
Oh my gosh but how do you tune into these messages because I'm sure I'm getting all time I just don't notice.
360
00:44:51,380 --> 00:45:11,380
Yeah and I know this is a care is role even who's coming in really kind of is the the public of just kind of looking at this what would be my observation that these got feelings are substantial these are not just little they they're substantial of that this is something to be trusted.
361
00:45:11,380 --> 00:45:25,380
That this is the don't let this go you know after the show go offline as we've been discussing you know and set go into that stillness yourself to see what we're that unfolding might begin.
362
00:45:25,380 --> 00:45:40,380
This this is these this is what people are being invited to is is their own process that can that can begin it's not a little you know we call it still small voice but it's actually.
363
00:45:40,380 --> 00:45:49,380
It's actually it's a really powerful got feeling on things like what we're talking about let me even let me go to something kind of related.
364
00:45:49,380 --> 00:45:56,380
As you see babies and young children now as we go to the grocery store and so on.
365
00:45:56,380 --> 00:46:09,380
You know science urges caution where you've got so many documentaries out saying existential crisis right caution you know let be even urgency let's really do some things let's not just put our head in the sand here right.
366
00:46:09,380 --> 00:46:20,380
We are talking about the things that are caution and urgency and not putting our head in the sand it would most of us at my age don't care what we've lived great life.
367
00:46:20,380 --> 00:46:33,380
But we care deeply about these younger generations and what we're talking about and what you'll be guided to through your own got through your own intuition are these things that you can start doing individually to start living into this.
368
00:46:33,380 --> 00:46:41,380
Oneness this wholeness that sciences affirming is true and if you're not going to do it for yourself to do it for the younger generation.
369
00:46:41,380 --> 00:46:52,380
You know so you don't get that pain right now if we do have our head in the sand and we're more just doing this operation thing and not try as you walk through by young kids or.
370
00:46:52,380 --> 00:47:06,380
It could be challenging you might get a little ping of pain you're going to diminish that by becoming active doing your part stepping into this living into this in your own unique way.
371
00:47:06,380 --> 00:47:16,380
Can you meet me be in a chicken can you take like baby steps into this or do you have to just fall on.
372
00:47:16,380 --> 00:47:30,380
Go for it yeah no baby steps are great yeah I don't know if you don't need that I've been told you know that Steve you you jump off clips or something.
373
00:47:30,380 --> 00:47:36,380
It's just what I was guiding to do I don't I don't recommend that I recommend.
374
00:47:36,380 --> 00:47:45,380
Just do take some baby steps just write something down you know journal something don't let this go is what I want to really encourage people to do but.
375
00:47:45,380 --> 00:47:54,380
But if you take baby steps you will be guided straight in in your own way that is comfortable for you and your family you know and your paycheck and things.
376
00:47:54,380 --> 00:48:13,380
Yeah don't you you'll be taken care of it with with paycheck the people that I know that are really following this there's an incredible attorney of people around me that came out of you know huge paychecks they're all being guided and prospered there's an abundance there for all of them you know I don't see anybody.
377
00:48:13,380 --> 00:48:23,380
You know you're just eating rescue here it there's there's a safe path that you take those baby steps all right now I know what a call it doesn't happen Steve.
378
00:48:23,380 --> 00:48:39,380
I like that because you know you're curious and you want to do these things but you know we don't we suffered from the recession we don't have a really big nest egg or anything so it's like I can handle the baby steps.
379
00:48:39,380 --> 00:48:49,380
Well this this path you talked about going outside and going within people talk about really the the way forward is inside.
380
00:48:49,380 --> 00:49:08,380
So I'll make it makes a lot of people find this to be a very individual path it's very somewhat somewhat lonely to lack of a better term right for someone listening today in their spiritually curious and they're never been part of any kind of organized movement right they meditate alone they read alone they feel the pull of something larger.
381
00:49:08,380 --> 00:49:20,380
Though what what the single most honest thing you want to say to them about joining something like humanity's team that actually what is that feel it from the inside.
382
00:49:20,380 --> 00:49:47,380
Radiant is the word yeah it's so much easier today to you know when I lost humanity's team with Neil Donald wash in June 2003 okay that was rough that was tough in 2003 people just looked at me cross I didn't really get it today we have come a long long way you know now when you talk about a wholeness of oneness consciousness
383
00:49:47,380 --> 00:50:13,380
that prevails all of life you know when you bring in spinoza's name is musk is now or Einstein's name and things people have heard of this this notion you know so it's it's really a much safer easier journey to start today than years ago and and by the month that's getting easier because again science is just everywhere with us the quantum physics that's saying it
384
00:50:13,380 --> 00:50:39,380
it you know i'm right that was the greatest illusion in the world let me read just one of his quotes is a little longer because this really kind of puts it all together so he says a human being is a part of a whole call by us the universe apart limited time and space experiences thoughts and feelings is something separated from the rest to kind of optical illusion of his consciousness isn't that interesting.
385
00:50:39,380 --> 00:51:05,380
This is the illusion is a kind of an east is prison for us a kind of prison for us restricting us to our personal desires for a few persons nearest us our family right our task then must be to free ourselves from this prison that interesting prison wow by winding our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures in the whole of nature and its beauty okay he just covered everything that we've been talking about.
386
00:51:05,380 --> 00:51:17,380
Yeah completely and it relates to his home so hardcore because I wouldn't I don't think I ever use the word prison but you certainly feel trapped yeah right in the rat race so I'd call it so.
387
00:51:17,380 --> 00:51:28,380
And it's true when you even just like when you're meditating you get like you get to that place you know and you get the downloads and you start to kind of feel like the inside of your skin and it just feels so wonderful yeah.
388
00:51:28,380 --> 00:51:33,380
And then you just come back and be a regular life so yeah it's kind of like a prison yeah.
389
00:51:33,380 --> 00:51:57,380
Well I'm curious and we're here we're running out of time so I want to make sure that we're conscious of it but you mentioned your daily affirmations and that kind of thing can you share those with us because I would love to follow the same road map that you're following it sounds like you are doing really great with it and I don't know what the heck to say out the universe in the morning so little help please.
390
00:51:57,380 --> 00:52:16,380
Yeah I could I've got a I've got a it's about six pages so single space though it's it's pretty pretty deep but and I'd be happy to to send that to you yeah I'd be happy to send it to you that would be amazing yeah okay so I'll do that after this program I'll end it to you.
391
00:52:16,380 --> 00:52:26,380
Thank you and then you've got it for for viewers and listeners so but here's a mention you know intention of course waking up and just in this world that we're talking about if I'm a part of it.
392
00:52:26,380 --> 00:52:55,380
I'm a part of the one I'm I am I am favored with all of the others you know I am blessed I am I'm prospered I am all of these things so but I take that further in metaphysics so a key part of my practices where I'm actually going out into that 2040 timeframe I'm going out there and I'm feeling you know we're in this massive of course multi universe just one small planet in this huge space.
393
00:52:55,380 --> 00:53:24,380
Well I'm not going to have all planet in this huge universe but we are actually being held you've heard this from some of your other guests by the afterlife angels guides you know these people I've referenced they're here holding this planet and I can go out to 2040 and I can smell taste touch that healing that's going on that awareness that has surfaced that awaken way of living that is now prevalent that where people are actually living into this underlying.
394
00:53:24,380 --> 00:53:53,380
Unity and one is where there's more love and compassion and service and open heartedness and all of that so that's a key part of my of my daily practice where I actually go there and then I have a just spiral straight back to OK and the God am I understanding then is telling me all the things that I'm doing with humanity's team that are actually supporting that creation out in 2040 it might sound a little out there but that's a key part of my of my.
395
00:53:53,380 --> 00:54:20,380
But that's what metaphysics is is you're actually going right into the creation itself seeing it feeling it tasting it touching it is coming all the way back into me like today in this role where we're talking to you you know where I am playing my role in that right we can all actually go out there feel it and then we can come back to today and be and play our role in the unfolding of every day out to 2040.
396
00:54:20,380 --> 00:54:30,380
So then how can we how can everyone who's listening to this are watching this right now how can we contribute to the 2040 deadline.
397
00:54:30,380 --> 00:54:42,380
So the beautiful thing is is the way you would contribute is by really what we're creating some understanding and awareness here and then you probably a season people to that are already living into it.
398
00:54:42,380 --> 00:55:01,380
So what we're really doing is inviting people to stretch so to get started stretch you're already in a stretch further so that's what we're inviting people to do in the beautiful thing here is there's this is the opposite of sacrifice we're saying I know there's a little sacrifice no we're saying actually there's all this benefit.
399
00:55:01,380 --> 00:55:17,380
You know personal benefit in stretching and yes there's a ripple effect is going to help the planet helps the 2040 thing yes that all is true but you will continue to do it in deep in your practice because it's going to feel so good.
400
00:55:17,380 --> 00:55:24,380
Yeah in terms of guidance in terms of vision in terms of provision and all of these things is it will feed you.
401
00:55:24,380 --> 00:55:47,380
And of course that it does why would you continue to stretch into it but I promise you if you just go into this open minded and create your own little three minutes sip of the divine it will feed you and it will you maybe you've already started and you're going to just deepen and stretch into it or maybe you're just getting started and it's going to be the beautiful beginning of the unfold.
402
00:55:47,380 --> 00:55:51,380
Either way I love that that's it's going to turn into a guzzle.
403
00:55:51,380 --> 00:56:06,380
So Steve last question I have for you what do you most want people to know about humanity's team and the changing humanity's future initiative that almost nobody asks you about.
404
00:56:06,380 --> 00:56:31,380
Well you know the the the way that we're framing that changing humanity's team initiative and you'll see if you go to our website humanity's team.org with a why it says right at the top it says one planet period one humanity period one future period good that's we've come back to that as we talk about kids on the planet and so on right.
405
00:56:31,380 --> 00:56:49,380
That's what this letter important letter to humanity from Neil and me this is what it is saying is in it was we look at the window of what there's all this division we get lost and that there's just one planet here you know there's only one humanity eight billion of us.
406
00:56:49,380 --> 00:57:04,380
And we all share one future and that gets lost right now and what we're talking about is just making sure it doesn't get lost keeping that right at the forefront and because our whole mission is.
407
00:57:04,380 --> 00:57:18,380
That's our mission I can read it is to advance conscious living worldwide so humanity and the earth can flourish together so humanity in the earth can flourish together why would who doesn't want that.
408
00:57:18,380 --> 00:57:33,380
Well yeah I think I can think of some oil tycoon is I mean we don't know that but you know that on that yeah well Steve thank you so much for what you're doing for humanity please extend our deepest gratitude to Neil Donald wash as well because I know that you started this.
409
00:57:33,380 --> 00:57:43,380
With him in conjunction with him if someone wanted to be involved with humanity's team.
410
00:57:43,380 --> 00:57:49,380
How what's the best first step for someone to take right now after listening to this.
411
00:57:49,380 --> 00:58:07,380
But go to humanity's team.org you can see it's easy to sign up where you just leave your name and email address and then you can unsubscribe at any time if you want but you'll see lots of messages that talk about this one planet one humanity one future in this one for one program where we're creating scholarships and.
412
00:58:07,380 --> 00:58:36,380
Where you know we're a global community global mode that's all about printing flourishing in the world for the planet and for humanity come come join us we are we 800 million people 14 years you be one of them yeah be part of the movement is what I would invite people to do right well you're so close we're gonna totally try to get you past that finish line so if you're listening to this you know what to do if you have a pen go to skepticman a position dot com will have the direct link late in the show notes so it's easy for you to.
413
00:58:36,380 --> 00:59:05,380

Co-Founder and Executive Director of Humanity's Team
Steve Farrell is the co-founder and Worldwide Executive Director of Humanity’s Team, a non-profit organization based in Boulder, Colorado. Humanity’s Team was founded in 2003 by Steve and Neale Donald Walsch (author of the Conversations with God book series), and is dedicated to transformational education and global community-building initiatives. It provides streaming programs, masterclasses, and resources focused on personal growth, conscious leadership, and social impact.
Under Steve’s leadership, Humanity’s Team has grown to reach over 1.5 million people across more than 150 countries. The organization hosts annual events and creates educational programs in collaboration with global thought leaders, including Global Oneness Day, an international celebration of human connection and shared values that is in the process of being put on the UN calendar.
Before founding Humanity’s Team, Steve was an entrepreneur living in Silicon Valley, co-founding and leading two successful multi-million dollar technology companies recognized on the INC 500 list. He later transitioned from the private sector to nonprofit leadership, focusing on public service and global engagement. This journey from technology to conscious living is outlined in Steve’s book, “A New Universal Dream,” along with his book that just came out, “The Inner Way: Reclaim the Truth of Who You Are and Why You’re Here.”
