Human Energy Podcast
Human Energy was founded to share a new scientific & cosmic story introducing the noosphere as a source of meaning for future generations in our globalizing world.
Today we face the unprecedented challenges of rapid social change and new technologies which, together with the scientific picture of an aimless universe, have created a crisis of orientation. Human Energy was founded by scientists, scholars, artists, and storytellers to highlight the causal conditions to our challenges and provide solutions for current and future generations. We articulate these solutions through the "Third Story" worldview (https://humanenergy.io/the-three-stories-of-the-universe/) with focus on the emerging noosphere.
We are beginning to visualize the noosphere’s formation; study its potential future scenarios as humanity takes more and more control of its future course; and explore how human beings connecting across the world may realize themselves socially and individually in its development.

From Noosphere to Omega Point: Schelling, Grof, and the Experiential Birth of the Cosmic Christ
This presentation explores the evolutionary trajectory from the Noosphere to the Omega Point: intertwining the insights of Friedrich Schelling with the transformative experiences articulated by Stanislav Grof.
Schelling's focus on the primacy of experience, as opposed to Hegel's purely rational perspective, portrays the emergence of the Absolute or God not merely as a rational process but as an embodied lived experience. Looking to Grof, whose work on Holotropic states and the perinatal process offers a methodology for actualizing these evolutionary experiences, the presentation emphasizes the pivotal role of direct experience in manifesting the birth of the Cosmic Christ within the finite realm.
By integrating philosophical arguments with Grof's methodologies, this talk resonates with the conference themes of "Theology & Spiritual Engagement of/with the Noosphere" and "Philosophy & Ethics of/for the Noosphere." It endeavors to build a bridge between rational comprehension and experiential realization, guiding us closer to the Omega Point.
