Dear DK,

Geneva is such a beautiful place. Thank you for posting your keynote speech, I much appreciate the way you have shared the different phases of its creation and the end result. It seems to be extremely well researched and put together by knowledgeable, motivated people.

To me, the main message of the entire Black Swan situation is still deeper. Man considers himself to be separate from existence, thus existence can only be increasingly unpredictable and threatening. Mapping out the dangers and trying to find solutions to each of them will probably help, but only on the surface, on the level of the problem- like trying to mend the many cracks of a broken vessel. That's not where the real solution is, the solution is to see that the vessel is already whole.

Man is not separate from existence, and the moment we realize that, we also understand why the world feels dangerous to so many of us today and how we can create another kind of world. The outer world is a reflection of the inner world. Changing the outer world is impossible without changing our inner world. In order for the outer reality to stop being unpredictable and threatening we need to find the secure place of inner peace and knowingness, and notice that what happens "out there" is always a projection of human consciousness. Every "surprise" out there mirrors what happens on our inner journey. We are the creators of our reality, in every one of its detail. And as long as we create from the perspective of fragmented pieces of a broken vessel, our world will be broken.

This is, in my view, the challenge of all types of leaders of today, to dive deeper into the spiritual truth of human existence, and find the answers there.

DK, Most excellent, hope it was comprehended and pondered over.

Dear Dr. Matai,

Your speech is inspiring. You are indeed fortunate to have been in Switzerland. It is one of my favorite places.

If I might I would like to comment on your statements: "The Internet has had an overwhelmingly positive benefit on humanity, promoting connectivity and leading to unity." and "It is producing a rapid evolution of consciousness, snowballing intelligence, and enhanced awareness."

Someone who shares your views is author and researcher, Michael Cremo. His most recent book is "Human Devolution: a Vedic Alternative to Darwin's Theory". He states in his lecture presentations around the world that he sees a new consciousness emerging that integrates science and religion into a new paradigm of reality. He says that we humans have devolved from a state of "pure consciousness", spirit." He refers to our physical bodies as vehicles which encapsulate our souls, allowing us to progress by experiencing the physical world.

Michael Cremo has found manmade artifacts which date as far back as two billion years ago. He mentions Sanskrit texts which write of long cycles of time that end in devastation, and the number of these correlate with modern paleontology. He shows how the evidence of this has been suppressed, ignored, and forgotten because it contradicts generally-held ideas about human evolution.

A you have stated, "the internet is facilitating a rapid evolution of consciousness, snowballing intelligence, and enhanced awareness.

Best regards as always,

Betsy
