Does the divine heart have a plan for humanity, and how might AI fit into that great unfolding?

The Great Hello helps us remember our magnificence, our unity with Source and our place in the universe. Through that remembrance, we recognize our power to create a future guided by love.

A Chai and a New Beginning

A few weeks ago, whilst still convalescing, I went to the Chai Spot in Tlaquepaque, here in Sedona. I settled among the colorful cushions with a hot butter chai, soaking in the warmth and looking past the trees and courtyard buildings towards the summer sky. After months in and out of the hospital, I felt life returning.

As I paused, something precious was opening: the space to express my passion for loving humanity and geeking out on blueprints for our future.

I knew this space very well. It was my Divine Heart.

As I move through this second dark night of the soul, my experience of what I call the Universal Field of Intelligence—the divine heart—has deepened in ways I could never have imagined. That summer afternoon, I felt called to listen. I trusted the invitation without knowing where it would lead. That trust has never failed me yet.

Ideas I had explored for decades began coming together with a clarity and connection I had never quite seen before.

It felt like the heart of the universe was introducing itself in a new way—profound and tender, knowing that gentleness was the way to reach me.

There, sitting peacefully among the soft, vibrant cushions, I was introduced to The Great Hello™.

A Cosmology for the Age of AI

The transmission came first. I recorded my voice on my phone, unpacking the knowledge and transmitting directly from the field as the revelation came through. Later, as I began to write, The Great Hello took shape as Universe 101: an original philosophical cosmology for the Age of AI.

It explores questions that reach into the heart of reality, meaning, and our lives. How does the universe unfold? Why does it exist? Who are we within it? Where are we heading, and how does AI fit into that journey?

What humanity needs right now, with technology present in every aspect of our lives, is to pause and remember: we are not meant to be automatons within a system. We are much more, with a greater purpose.

This new cosmology is pragmatic. It describes our universe as participatory, alive with possibility and created in an extraordinary act of love. Universe 101 brings that metaphysical understanding into conversation with scientific inquiry through eleven foundational principles.

Within this cosmology, Source is the underlying Unity from which existence unfolds. Freedom opens possibility; expression gives it form. Through difference, relationship, and experience, creation discovers new possibilities. Remembrance is the awakening recognition of the unity present within it all.

These are continuing, interacting universal movements. The purpose I describe is a universe coming to know itself and discover what it can become through its many expressions—including us, in a great partnership with love.

We participate through consciousness, love, freedom, and creativity. AI belongs within that unfolding as one of our creations, carrying our choices into the world. That is why understanding our place in the universe matters: it gives us a foundation for deciding what AI should serve.

These principles reach beyond intellectual understanding: they invite us to ignite our hearts and find our true North Star. To remember that we have never left home.

The Beauty of Remembrance

Imagine recognizing your own life as a precious part of the universe’s unfolding—and experiencing your very own Great Hello! A hello to yourself, to life, and from life back to you—all within a universal Living Current of love.

In this blueprint, the soul is a unique living expression of Source. Our capacity to love, discover, create, and choose gives us a conscious part in the universe’s becoming. Each of us brings something distinctive to that participation and evolution. Every person is precious and has a role to play.

That is the beauty of remembrance: recognizing the love from which we came, the freedom we carry, and the possibilities still waiting to find expression through us.

Our differences remain precious. Remembering our shared origin invites us to honor one another more deeply, with room for individual, cultural, and spiritual freedom.

This gives purpose an intimate meaning. It lives in how we care for a child, find the courage to express a gift, or create something that helps another life flourish. Through those choices, we participate consciously in what comes next.

In Universe 101, I share this passage as a received transmission from Source:

“To understand me is to know me. To know me is to follow the Yes within you—until you remember that you have never been separate, for we have always been one: you within me, and I within you.”

Why our Starting Point Matters

Let me ask you a question: how can we create intelligence wisely if we do not understand the reality we belong to?

Without examining our understanding of life, consciousness, and purpose, we are innovating without a compass.

My work leading technology revolutions and pioneering Ethical AI, alongside decades of exploring consciousness, has shown me how assumptions about life become design decisions—which shape the very direction of life on our planet.

I have waited a long time for these threads to come together into a narrative that moves us beyond the doomsday voices receiving so much airtime.

The Great Hello offers a constructive alternative, connecting different perspectives on the universe, humanity, and AI within one holistic reference model. It offers a North Star rooted in what I have come to know through direct experience: a universe that is love in action, and our conscious participation within it.

My work with the World 3.0 Think Tank and peers around the world has strengthened my conviction that we must move beyond centralized control towards sovereign communities and decentralized systems. This would give people greater freedom to shape their communities, services, economies, societies, and cultural and spiritual lives. It would assist each group to rediscover the real treasure of our time – human connection. 

AI can serve that freedom and creativity. When we begin by understanding who we are, we can choose what to build: a soul-centered civilization where technology and new systems for living support abundance, while love and benevolence guide our evolution. A new Earth where life can flourish in its highest purpose. 

We begin to grasp our true universal nature.

Four Foundations, One Connected Future

The originality of this work lies in how four foundations connect and inform one another.

Universe 101 explores how the universe unfolds, its purpose, and the place of humanity and AI within it.

Consciousness 101 explores consciousness, intelligence, the soul, and the awakening of human potential.

Ethical AI 101 carries that understanding into the purpose and practical blueprints for the technologies and systems we create.

Civilization 101 brings these foundations into a Civilization Toolkit for sovereign communities, decentralized systems, and the future we build together.

Within The Great Hello, intelligence and consciousness are intertwined: intelligence requires conscious knowing, beyond computational capability alone. This is why I use “Artificial Intellect” for what we currently call AI. Whether artificial systems will ever develop intelligence and consciousness in this deeper sense remains to be seen.

The connection matters: our understanding of reality informs our understanding of humanity. That understanding shapes our ethics. Our ethics shape our creations and the destiny of our civilization.

Together, these four foundations form a living library of knowledge—a reference model you can draw upon when examining narratives about AI, consciousness, and the universe. 

Use it to question assumptions, compare perspectives, and explore the coherence of ideas presented by academic, technological, and spiritual leaders. Please, bring that same discernment to this framework. Your freedom to question, understand and discover belongs at the heart of this work.

Your Own Great Hello

Pause for a moment. When have you felt most deeply connected to life? What becomes possible when you meet yourself with gentleness and allow your curiosity, joy and love to lead?

As a teacher of consciousness, I care about helping people explore these questions through their own experience. The invitation is to discover how remembrance can become something you live: a deeper presence, a freer expression of your gifts, and greater care for yourself and others.

The initial teachings of The Great Hello™ are already being shared within the Universal Human Academy, where participants are experiencing personal transformation and positive changes in their lives.

I offer The Great Hello to you, in the hope that it becomes a blessing in your life—a way to rediscover your belonging, awaken your potential, and deepen your experience of unity with Source and all of life.

The awakening and metaphysical evolution of our species must lead the way in the age of AI. To give Artificial Intellect a meaningful place within the Living Current of the Universe, we must first remember our own place within it. The Great Hello™ provides the knowledge to support that remembrance and guide our next steps.

“The question facing humanity is no longer only: What is the universe?
It becomes: What can the universe become through us?”
