  • Humanity Is Waking Up – But What Does That Really Mean?

    Humanity Is Waking Up – But What Does That Really Mean?

    When I say “humanity is waking up”, it’s not just a hopeful slogan. It’s an observation, and perhaps even a prophecy. But waking up to what? And in what way?

    At first glance, it might not look like humanity is waking up at all. The news screams of wars, corruption, inequality, and ecological collapse. We seem to be racing faster and faster toward the abyss. And yet, beneath the noise, something else is stirring.

    Waking Up to the Fragility of Earth

    We are beginning to acknowledge that our planet is not an endless resource but a delicate web of life. Fires, floods, extinctions, and climate chaos force us to recognize that humanity is part of this web, not separate from it. In response, more people embrace renewable energy, regenerative farming, and circular economies. It’s slow, uneven, but real.

    Waking Up from the Illusion of Scarcity

    Money has long dictated who eats and who starves, who thrives and who suffers. But a growing awareness tells us that money itself is an invention—an artificial system of scarcity. The real wealth of the world is abundant: food, energy, creativity, love. Movements for sharing economies, cooperatives, and even resource-based visions show that alternatives are possible.

    Waking Up to Our Shared Humanity

    Borders, races, religions, and ideologies divide us only on the surface. More people are realizing that beneath those layers we are one family. The rise of movements for global justice, equality, and indigenous wisdom signals this deeper recognition, even as old systems of control cling tightly to their power.

    Waking Up Spiritually

    Most importantly, humanity is waking up to something deeper than politics or economics. We are beginning to remember who we really are: not isolated egos, but expressions of one consciousness. This awakening shows itself in the longing for connection, the spread of meditation and inner practices, the search for meaning beyond possessions.

    Spiritually, this awakening means:

    • Realizing that love and compassion are not luxuries, but the very fabric of life.
    • Seeing that the ego’s chase for power or security cannot bring peace.
    • Trusting a deeper intelligence—whether we call it God, Source, Spirit, or simply Life—that guides us when we listen.
    • Recognizing that our thoughts and choices shape reality, and that we are co-creators of the world to come.

    The Tension of Our Time

    To say “humanity is waking up” does not mean everyone suddenly becomes enlightened. It means more and more people are questioning the illusions, breaking free of fear, and daring to live differently. But as this happens, the old system pushes back. That’s why our time feels so turbulent—both abyss and awakening accelerate together.

    This is not failure. It is birth.

    A Call to Each of Us

    If humanity is waking up, it’s not an abstract idea—it’s a personal invitation. Each of us is part of this shift. We can choose to close our eyes, or to see clearly. To cling to separation, or to live in connection. To act from fear, or from love.

    The real question is not “Is humanity waking up?” but “Am I waking up—and how will I live that awakening?”

    A Mirror in Story

    This is also the journey at the heart of my novel Waking Up – A Journey Towards a New Dawn for Humanity. In the book, Benjamin Michaels awakens in a future awakened society that has left money and fear behind, learning step by step what it means to live in connection, compassion, and trust. His shock, his doubts, and his eventual transformation mirror the path we are all walking now.

    Reading his story is not just entertainment—it’s a glimpse into what our collective awakening could look like, if we dare to imagine it and live it together.

  • Does It Have to Be Sameness?

    Does It Have to Be Sameness?

    Many people fear that moving beyond capitalism would mean losing individuality. “Won’t it just make us all the same—like robots in matching clothes, with no freedom to be ourselves?” History gives us examples: the Soviet Union and Maoist China, where sameness was enforced through identical clothing, controlled expression, and strict conformity. Literature has reflected the same fear: in Lois Lowry’s The Giver, society solves its problems through “sameness,” but at the cost of love and freedom. George Orwell’s 1984 shows a world where individuality is crushed by totalitarian control, while Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World imagines a society where people are conditioned into uniformity disguised as happiness. All these visions echo the same worry: Does building a world that works for all mean sacrificing diversity?

    The Hidden Sameness of Today’s System

    Ironically, we already live in a kind of enforced sameness—though it often goes unnoticed. In today’s monetary system, no matter how unique your dreams or talents are, you must conform to one thing: money. Whether you’re an artist, a farmer, or a scientist, survival depends on earning, spending, and competing within the same framework. Profit becomes the universal measure, reducing human diversity to numbers on a balance sheet. Many people sacrifice their individuality—not because they want to, but because “it doesn’t pay.” In this way, capitalism itself quietly enforces sameness under the illusion of freedom.

    The New World Vision — Diversity as Strength

    But what if the opposite were true? What if a world without money actually created more freedom and diversity? This is the vision explored in Waking Up. Instead of flattening humanity into sameness, a moneyless world allows individuality to flourish. People are no longer punished for being different, for following their passions, or for contributing in unique ways. Diversity is no longer a threat—it becomes the very foundation of abundance. In such a world, cooperation replaces competition, and the wide variety of human talents and perspectives becomes the source of resilience and creativity. 

    This is basically how nature does it. Flourishing through diversity. And in the book humanity has adopted this too. No money, no coercion, only freedom and diversity. 

    The Deeper Root — The Ego and the Monetary System

    The real problem, then, is not diversity or sameness in themselves. The problem lies in the monetary system, which is born of the ego and perpetuates fear, greed, and conformity. In today’s world, the ego-driven pursuit of wealth forces us into patterns that limit who we truly are. Remove money, and suddenly individuality is no longer a liability—it’s an asset. Freed from the need to conform to profit, people can finally bring their authentic selves to the table.

    Flipping the Fear

    The fear of sameness is understandable. History and literature are full of warnings about systems that erased individuality in the name of stability. But a world that works for all does not mean we all become the same. It means we finally have the freedom to be different—without that difference being turned into inequality or exploitation. Sameness is not the price of peace. Awareness, cooperation, and compassion are.

    This is the journey explored in my novel, Waking Up — A Journey Towards a New Dawn for Humanity. It asks: What if humanity chose differently? What if we built a world not of enforced sameness, but of celebrated diversity? If you’ve ever wondered what life beyond money—and beyond fear—might look like, Waking Up is waiting for you.

  • How did it happen?

    How did it happen?

    People have asked. The world of Waking Up is well and good. But how did humanity actually get there?

    The shift that changed everything.

    People still ask:

    How did the world actually change?

    How did we move from a system of money, ownership, debt, competition, war and scarcity…

    to a world of cooperation, sharing, abundance, and peace?

    The answer isn’t simple.

    But it’s not mysterious either.

    It happened the only way it could:

    peacefully. Voluntarily. Gradually—then suddenly.

    It is important to emphasize that the transition to the new world happened completely voluntary on all levels.

    ⸻

    🌱 The Seeds Were Always There

    Even in the darkest days of exploitation and inequality, people cared.

    Some gave their time. Some gave their voices. A few gave their fortunes.

    Philanthropy wasn’t new.

    For centuries, wealthy individuals had donated to causes—sometimes out of genuine compassion, sometimes for legacy, reputation, or tax benefits. But starting in the early 21st century, a quiet revolution of heart and mind began to stir.

    It didn’t look like a revolution at first.

    There were no tanks in the streets.

    Only a shift in consciousness.

    More and more people began to wake up.

    To see the insanity of endlessly pursuing profit while the planet burned.

    To feel the dissonance of having more than enough while billions struggled to survive.

    To ask: Is this really the best we can do?

    ⸻

    🧠 A Global Awakening

    What followed was more than politics or economics—it was spiritual.

    People everywhere began questioning the foundational assumptions of the system.

    Not with anger. Not with violence. But with clarity.

    Billionaires, too, began to change.

    Not all at once. But the ripple became a wave.

    Figures like Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, and George Soros—already known for their philanthropy—began to do something different:

    They stopped trying to fix the system.

    They started planting seeds for a new one.

    They funded open-source education. Renewable cities. Regenerative agriculture.

    They began conversations, supported experiments, and—perhaps most importantly—stepped aside when others brought better ideas.

    They didn’t build the new world.

    But they helped fund its birth.

    Even those who weren’t ready to divest during their lifetime began to shift perspective.

    People like Elon Musk, known for pushing the boundaries of technology and ambition, also pledged to give away the majority of their wealth—after their passing.

    At first, it seemed like a safety valve, a way to give without letting go.

    But even that was a step. A public recognition that the accumulation of vast wealth could—and should—serve something larger than the self.

    Many of these posthumous pledges became part of the COL seed funds, as their estates were redirected—not to private heirs or trusts—but to humanity’s shared inheritance.

    Paradoxically enough the new moneyless world was created with money. 

    ⸻

    🌍 Enter the Cities of Light

    The real turning point came when those ideas were brought together.

    Not just scattered projects and good intentions—but an integrated vision.

    The first Cities of Light were born as living prototypes—places where people could experience a life beyond money.

    They weren’t cults or communes.

    They were open-source civilizations.

    Testbeds for what could be.

    And yes, they were funded—at first—by people who had once benefited from the old world.

    People like Amo Michaels(Benjamin Michaels’ daughter)—once a billionaire, now a legend.

    She didn’t just donate.

    She divested. Buy She not only released her assets into the commons. She also actively helped plan and build the first cities. 

    She helped design the first COL as a gift to humanity, not a monument to herself.

    She wasn’t alone.

    ⸻

    💫 The Power of Voluntary Transition

    That’s the key to it all.

    There was no war. No forced redistribution. No bloody revolution.

    It was a voluntary transition.

    One led by the willing, not the coerced.

    Because as the COLs proved what was possible—self-sustaining systems, meaningful work, joyful community—people stopped clinging to the old way.

    Even those who had power in the old world realized they were trapped by it too.

    They weren’t losing control.

    They were finally letting go.

    And what came instead…

    was something no one had expected:

    freedom.

    ⸻

    📖 So… How Did It Happen?

    Like this:

    • People woke up.

    • Some of them had influence.

    • They used it differently.

    • Others followed.

    • A new path became visible.

    • And when people saw it, they chose it.

    That’s how it happened.

    Not overnight. But inevitably.

    Not with conquest. But with compassion.

    Not with force. But with faith.

    Not because someone made it happen.

    But because enough people said:

    “Let’s do this differently.”

    And they did.

  • Oneness: A world created

    Oneness: A world created

    🌊 What Is Oneness, Really?

    “Oneness” is a term often used in spiritual circles, yet its true meaning is frequently left vague or abstract. To understand it more clearly, we need to break it down from multiple perspectives—scientific, biological, and spiritual.

    At its core, oneness means that everything is fundamentally connected. Not just metaphorically, but literally—at the level of energy, consciousness, and even physics.

    There are three levels to understanding oneness:

    ⸻

    1. Scientific Level (Matter and Energy)

    • Quantum physics shows us that particles are not truly separate; they are entangled, meaning what happens to one can instantly affect another, no matter the distance.

    • Everything in the universe is made of the same fundamental “stuff”: energy. Even our bodies and thoughts are just vibrations of energy, the same energy that created the universe.

    • So separation is more of an illusion of form—just like waves appear separate but are all part of the same ocean.

    David Bohm proposed that the universe is not made up of separate, isolated parts but is an interconnected, dynamic whole.

    ⸻

    2. Biological Level (Systems and Life)

    • Nature works in systems, not in isolated parts. Forests, oceans, climate—all life is interdependent.

    • Even humans are made of bacteria, viruses, and cells that all cooperate on many levels. What we call “me” is actually a community of living things working together.

    • This reflects a kind of oneness in diversity—interconnected life forming a greater whole.

    ⸻

    3. Consciousness Level (The Spiritual View)

    • Many spiritual traditions say there is only One consciousness appearing as many forms—what some call God, Source, the I AM.

    • This means that you and I and everyone else are expressions of the same awareness, like different waves on the same ocean of being. Much the same as us all being energy.

    ⸻

    💡 So How Does It Work?

    Oneness doesn’t mean sameness. It means unity beneath the diversity. Here’s how it “works” in life:

    • Empathy: You feel for others because, at a deep level, they are you in another form.

    • Synchronicity: Life starts reflecting your inner world because it’s all one field.

    • Healing: When you heal yourself, it affects the whole system—just like a single healthy cell benefits the whole body.

    • Creation: What you imagine or intend matters, because your mind is not isolated. It’s part of the field of all minds.

    ⸻

    🌱 Why Does It Matter?

    Because when you truly feel this oneness, something changes:

    • You stop needing to compete or dominate.

    • You stop judging others so harshly.

    • You feel guided, supported, and connected.

    • You shift from fear to love, from ego to essence.

    Oneness in A Course in Miracles

    A Course in Miracles (ACIM) has a very specific and profound take on oneness—and it goes even deeper than most spiritual teachings. Let’s explore how oneness works according to ACIM:

    ⸻

    ✨

    1. Only God Is Real

    According to ACIM, God is perfect Love, and God is all that truly exists. Since God is One and infinite, there can’t really be anything outside of Him. 

    “God is but Love, and therefore so am I.” — ACIM

    So:

    • Creation = extension of God’s Love

    • You = not separate from God, but an idea in His Mind, forever united with Him.

    ⸻

    2. The Separation Never Happened

    The idea that we are separate individuals in a physical world is described in ACIM as a tiny, mad idea that the Son of God (all of us as One) seemed to believe.

    “Into eternity, where all is one, there crept a tiny, mad idea, at which the Son of God remembered not to laugh.” — ACIM, T-27.VIII.6:2

    This is key:

    • The illusion of separation created the ego, time, space, and the body.

    • But in truth, none of it ever happened. It’s a dream. And we are all dreaming the same dream. Being a character in a world of countless other characters doing stuff.

    • You are still one with God, dreaming of being something else. Until you wake up… And remember.

    3. You Are the Christ

    In ACIM, the Christ is not just Jesus—it is the One Self we all share.

    • There is only one Son of God.

    • You, me, and everyone are part of that same One Self.

    • The “many” is just a dream of division—there is only one mind, appearing as many.

    ⸻

    4. Forgiveness Reveals Oneness

    Forgiveness in ACIM is not about pardoning sin, but realizing that there was no sin—only mistaken perception.

    • When you forgive, you see past the illusion of attack, guilt, and separateness.

    • You remember: We are the same. We are one.

    • This is the way back to awareness of oneness.

    ⸻

    5. The Body Is Not the Truth

    The body is part of the illusion of separation:

    • It’s a “learning device” but not who you are.

    • You are not in a body; the body is in your mind.

    • You are mind—pure spirit—eternally one with God.

    ⸻

    🕊️ In Simple Terms:

    ACIM says you are not a drop in the ocean—you are the ocean in a drop, but you’ve forgotten that you are the whole.

    Oneness in ACIM is not just a nice feeling—it’s the truth of what you are, waiting to be remembered. And that remembrance is what the Course calls “the Atonement”: the undoing of the illusion of separation.

    We are still in Heaven, only dreaming that we are not.

    The Ego

    The ego is the illusion of separation—it believes it’s a separate “self” rather than a unique expression of one shared being.

    So, the separation we are experiencing is only because we have forgotten we are One. And this belief in separation has led to all the wars and misery on this planet. We believe we need to hoard as much as possible for ourselves and sharing means I am getting less. Not to speak of what I  believe is the truth. And if you don’t believe the same you are a threat to me. 

    In my book Waking Up – A journey towards a new dawn for humanity people on Earth has remembered the Oneness talked about in this article and has created the world according to that, and that is what Benjamin Michaels discovers after 100 years in cryonic sleep…

  • What Is Actually True Spiritual Awakening?

    What Is Actually True Spiritual Awakening?

    Because without true awakening, we’ll keep recreating the same broken systems.

    Today, “spiritual awakening” is everywhere — in self-help books, TikTok trends, and vision boards filled with yachts and soulmates. But most of what’s being sold under that name isn’t awakening at all.

    True spiritual awakening is not about manifesting more for the ego.


    It’s not about using spiritual tools to chase the same things the ego always wanted — just with incense burning in the background.

    True spiritual awakening is an awakening from the ego.


    From the illusion of separation, scarcity, and fear —
    into the truth of what we truly are:

    The Universal Spirit Essence present in every being.
    The Awareness that sees through these eyes, reads these words, and witnesses thought itself.
    The One that creates the thoughts — and in doing so, creates the reality.

    When we remember that we are the creators of our thoughts,
    we begin to reclaim something forgotten:


    We are the creators of our world.

    In the depth of this realization lies the One — the same One in everyOne.
    And when we truly see this, we understand that we are not separate.
    We are all unique expressions of the same Source, the One.
    and from this foundation, a new world becomes not only possible, but inevitable.

    A true spiritual awakening isn’t about manifesting more for the ego, it’s about remembering that there is already enough for everyone.


    Enough land. Enough time. Enough resources. Enough Love.

    When the illusion of separation dissolves, so does the logic of hoarding.
    We stop asking “How can I get more for me?”
    and begin living from a deeper truth:
    “How can we all have more — together?”

    That’s when abundance becomes real.
    That’s when the world of Waking Up begins.

    And here’s something else:


    True inspiration follows true awakening.


    Not the hustle-driven motivation of the ego,
    but a quiet, clear, radiant energy that flows directly from the Source.
    An inspiration that brings with it the solutions we need —
    not just for one person to succeed, but for all beings to thrive.

    This inspiration does not serve the 0.1%.
    It serves Life Itself.
    And it will guide us — if we let it — to build a world that works for every being on this planet.

    The novel Waking Up imagines such a future —
    where this awakening is no longer just personal, but global.
    Where humanity has shed the systems of fear and stepped into a reality based on trust, unity, and shared abundance.

    It’s already happening.
    Quietly. In the hearts of millions.
    People are letting go. Waking up. Coming Home.

    So ask yourself:
    What if enough of us truly woke up?
    What kind of world would we create — together?

  • We Can’t Build a Peaceful World from a Fearful Mind

    We Can’t Build a Peaceful World from a Fearful Mind

    Why meditation is essential to the post-money future imagined in Waking Up

    “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”


    — Albert Einstein

    In Waking Up, I describe a future without money, without trade, and without coercion — a world based on trust, freedom, and shared abundance. But if we imagine ourselves waking up tomorrow in that world, there’s a deeper question we must ask:

    Would we even be ready for it?

    Because the systems we live under today are not just external — they are mirrors of our inner world. They shape how we think, feel, and react — yes — but they were shaped from the beginning by those very same patterns.

    Today’s system is built on greed, but greed is only a symptom. At its root is fear — the fear of not having enough, of being left behind, of being unworthy. And that fear arises from the ego — the part of us that believes we are separate, vulnerable, and alone.

    Meditation as Revolution

    This is where meditation becomes revolutionary — not as an escape from the world, but as a way to introspect into the fear-based mind that created it, and thus find the peace that lies behind it.

    But meditation offers us more than peace. It gives us clarity. It allows us to witness the ego in action — the part of us that clings, compares, hoards, competes. The part that believes we are separate from others, from nature, and even from ourselves. Through stillness and observation, we begin to see the roots of the old world within us — and loosen their grip.

    The New World Requires New Minds

    A post-money society cannot be built on the same foundation of anxiety and lack. It requires a shift in consciousness — a deep remembering of who we are beyond scarcity and separation.

    Meditation doesn’t make us passive. It makes us present. From that presence, compassion arises. From compassion, collaboration becomes natural. And from collaboration, new systems can emerge — not driven by profit, but by purpose.

    When we are free within, we no longer need systems to control others or protect ourselves. Inner freedom becomes the soil where outer freedom can grow.

    Training for the World We Want

    In the world of Waking Up, people are not taxed, policed, or bought. They are free — and that kind of freedom cannot be imposed. It must arise naturally from a deep inner transformation.

    Meditation is not mandatory in that world — but it is inevitable. Because the stillness it invites is the very ground upon which a new kind of society can stand. Not one ruled by fear or greed, but one guided by awareness, empathy, and joy.

    A Final Word

    Meditation isn’t just self-care. It’s civilizational care. A society built on peace must begin with peaceful minds. A society that trusts must be made of people who know themselves deeply enough to live without fear.

    That is why meditation matters — not only in your life, but in the future of our world.

    If this vision resonates with you, I invite you to explore it deeper in my novel Waking Up: A Journey Towards a New Dawn for Humanity — a story that doesn’t just imagine a better world, but asks how we might become the kind of people who can live in it.
