5 Reasons I’m More Optimistic Than Ever About Where Humanity Is Heading | Guy Lawrence

Guy:
Everywhere I look right now, there’s a narrative that humanity is heading towards some kind of breaking point. AI, technology, chaos, world splitting, timelines, everything accelerating. But I feel the opposite. I really do. I’m incredibly optimistic about our future, and there’s one reason for that, and I don’t think we’re talking about it nearly enough, because while our technology is advancing rapidly out there, for sure, I think we’ve barely scratched the surface when it comes to the technology that actually exists within us. So this is what I wanna dive into today. Let’s do this.

Guy:
So I wanna talk to five key points that I feel why I am extremely optimistic about our future as a species in general, and go against the narrative. And the whole purpose of putting these podcasts out there every week is to remind us all to be inspired. But this is just information. If we don’t embody it and take it on and action it, th- this means nothing. This is just another piece of information, a piece of noise that gets lost in the ether with all the other information that’s bombarded us. So if there’s one promise you can do for me today, is take these points on board, start to action them, and even share these things with a loved one or friend. Like, this is how we’re gonna move the needle.

Anyway, so the five points overview for a minute, I’ve got inner technology, as in us, we’re sitting on a goldmine, okay? Then there’s connection, alchemy, sovereignty, and evolution. So these are the little things I’m gonna try and break down quickly in the next 10 minutes. So number one, the greatest technology is already within us, okay? The heart, the brain, the nervous system, the body, c- and consciousness. Think about it for a minute. We are walking miracles. I keep saying this on the podcast all the time. If you just stop to feel into who we are for a moment and what we are capable of feeling and expressing and doing, and all the millions of processes that are going on in any single second of any given minute that’s keeping us alive, allowing us to have a certain lens and perception of reality, and to experience life in any given moment, is amazing. 

And we have dumbed ourselves down so much and numbed ourselves down to it, we forget who we really are and what we’re absolutely capable of. And what I’ve realized within this technology and how we start to kinda make it alive, is that we get beyond the mind and we get behind the head, because from the neck down, all the wisdom and information is l- is, is alive and raring to go. I’ve m- mentioned it many times on this podcast that the heart is at the center of the body. The heart is the magical organ. It’s not just a pump. The heart, when you start to create states of feelings of gratitude, raising elevated emotions, even if you’re just practicing for a few minutes a day, you are signaling the nervous system.

Okay, you’ve got, like, the energy body, then, then you’ve got the autonomic nervous system. Those two are inter- interchanging. The autonomic s- nervous system’s what’s keeping you alive. It’s what’s signaling the body, what is keeping you safe. And then from there, then… right, Y- you got, it’s triggering feelings, and it’s triggering thoughts, and it’s triggering your perception of reality. And your perception of reality, you’re going to be focusing on how you think and how you feel and how you, given that any given moment, how the autonomic nervous system has been entrained into the body that keeps you safe. And all that energy that is stuck, held, wants to move. Once you start to move that, literally, we come in from the inside out, and we start to free up within us.

And your whole paradigm of world opens up in ways about it. But if you’re sitting around not actually embodying this and starting to practice these tools and applying them in our daily life- y- you can have all the information in the world and it’s not gonna make a difference, but I just really feel we are getting pushed into having to look within us to really start to take responsibility, sovereignty, which we’ll get into, and ownership of these things, right? point number two is, is that we are far more connected than we realize, and we have far more influence than we actually think that we’ve been told.

Okay? So I, I, I was said to bring out a quote to you from Rollin McCraty. So he is, uh, one of the founders of HeartMath. I had him on the podcast a little while back. He’s he’s a great guy, and he says, “We have basically two hearts, a physical heart, and we also have what we call the energetic heart.” Okay, that’s what we’re talking about, the toroidal field. Oh, let me get my whiteboard quickly. If you haven’t seen it, toroidal field looks like this. Do you know when you, um, You know when you, uh, pull the plug out of the bath and it just goes down like that? Like a, just like, like like a tornado, right? It goes down. Have you ever wondered why it does that? Me too.

Huh? it’s moving in a toroidals field. but the toroidals field is like this donut, but then it’s got like, uh… how do I do it the other way. Opens up the other way. So it kinda looks like that, right? And then that’s the human body. You would’ve seen these. Oh, look at that. And the heart is generating that toroidal field. We are toroidal fields of energy in motion. Isn’t that amazing? And then what R- Rollin McCraty is right, so he said, uh, so we have the energetic heart, and that beams out. I feel it every day. I c- I’ve tapped in and developed this, and every cell in my body is able to emanate out this, this energetic field, right?

And it’s the bridge of what a lot of people call their higher self, the intuitive self. now, Rollin McCraty also goes on to say, ” We are coupled through resonance with the larger earth field, so it’s bi-directional. Not only are we affected by the field, we’re also feeding the field our thoughts and especially our emotions.” We are feeding the field our thoughts and emotions, right? So if the Earth, is planet Earth like that. Pretty cool, isn’t it? The Earth’s got a field, okay? So if we got a field and that’s got a field, it’s connected, so we are connected through a field of information. So all of a sudden it’s like a beehive or, you know, you’ve got seven or eight billion people on the planet all resonate into their own frequency that is humming into this bigger field, and it’s all connected, right?

Why is that optimistic? Because at the end of the day, there’s a constant narrative. And all fear, doom, gloom, AI, techno- It’s always disruption and if you understand the way the media works, if it bleeds, it leads. There’s a constant narrative that has been perpetuated out there that’s wanting us to keep us addicted into these portals of connection of information. Like the internet is the nervous system now of the planet to a degree, but that’s not the true– This is the true nervous system. The, the, the fields of energy just because, but we’ve become so desens- desensitized from it. We’re not even aware that it is existing, but there’s part of us there are, and all this is leading into remembrance.

If we start really leaning in and taking ownership of our own technology, we can then start actually contributing to the field, and the more of us that do that, the more it’s gonna st- create stuff, uh, create shifts within the planet, which I actually naturally think is happening anyway, okay? With this, I can only speak for my own life for a moment, that my life is beautiful. I have to pinch myself. I truly do. But it is the lens that I have created through my reality, and it’s not about living in ignorance. It’s not about not acknowledging that there’s a lot of chaos and painful, painful things that are happening on this planet as we speak. It’s not about ignoring that.

But if I just feed my energy into that and feel helpless, guilt, shame, unworthiness, whatever debilitating emotions, there’s something inside of me, it’s reflecting something inside of me that has not been healed yet. And ultimately, I’m giving my power away to something else, and that’s what’s keeping the narrative and keeping us stuck. But if I actually take that energy within myself and then start applying it in my world, in my communities, in my space, in how I can make a difference, then I am having a positive effect on this bidirectional field.

I’m generally actually then making a difference, and that could just be as simple as being kind and loving to thy neighbor. We talk, we talk about humanity as if this is this big abstract thing. But we are humans. We, we need to be doing humane acts in the moment to embrace what we wanna see in representation of humanity. That’s how we’re gonna move the needle, and that’s what I believe is actually happening. We see people coming in, looking for answers, looking for a different way of being. I even, I held a group healing last night, uh, on a call for some beautiful souls, and we’re able to start to really connect into these fields and use the field to start to shift and clear distortions, which goes into my third point, which is we are becoming our own alchemists. Okay? 

We have the capacity to heal. We have the capacity to re- self-regulate. We, individuals, have the capacity to transmute fear into love, to, to take the lessons and the gifts that pain can create and transmute that into wisdom and apply that into ourselves. We can change patterns, and then from all those things when we’re turning information and experiences into wisdom. Okay? If you’re thinking, you’re not feeling, but if you’re feeling, you’re knowing, and if you’re knowing, you’re living in wisdom, and it’s from there that we’re, we, we start to move forward. Okay? We discover and we have far more influence over our internal world than we were taught. We’ve been taught to outsource everything.

Let’s look outside ourselves for this, for that. Let’s go and see the priest. Let’s go and see , let’s go and see the, the politicians, everyone. Whatever it is we… The doctors, you know? We, we seek outside of ourselves, and of course we need guidance from people that, uh, are further down the path. but with integrity that are coming from their wisdom and we learn to apply it from us, as opposed to segregating ourselves from our elders and putting them in their homes and, uh, actually, you know, keeping us almost, like, individualized. And we’re, we’re so connected, but so disconnected it’s not funny in this world right now.

But the internet has opened up portals to access information like this, so it’s a blessing. It’s amazing. Okay, so point number four then, if we’re becoming our own alchemist, and I’m witnessing it a lot. If we start nurturing an environment and setting ourselves up and actually applying the where the rubber meets the road, the things that we talk about on this podcast into our daily lives, okay? Like I said last night when I did this group healing last night, it requires three p- three participations, okay?

It requires the, me showing up and doing my job, but then it also requires the, the participation of the, the people receiving the energy and what they do outside of that healing session. They are critical components, too. Okay? So it’s, there’s a responsibility there. And then the third component, uh, or the biggest one of all, is spirit showing up ready to go, th- this universal field of energy. And then if we all co-create together, y- you can make magic happen. It … You can just do that by yourself, like it doesn’t require anything. But it requires us willing and open to surrender into that and becoming more and more present from it. Okay? But I’m seeing more and more people do this all the time.

And, um, so then point number four is in taking back our sovereignty. This is why I’m optimistic because we can do this. We have the power to do so. So what do I mean by that? So I got fear, noise, conditioning, doom narratives, constant information, outsourcing authority, which is what I just said. Uh, whoops. uh, perhaps our evolution is less about adding more, but it’s about clearing the blocks where it’s already there, taking back our own authority. And one of the, the most amazing things, and I, I just wish more people understood this and knew this, is coming back to the field here, that we– our field is full of all these distortion patterns, and that if that field is giving rise to physical reality, it’s called the collapse into the wave function.

And that, um, if that field, if we start to clear these distortion patterns within our energy-genic field, that f- that energy can run smoothly and coherently. And the more coherence that we create within every cell of our body, the greater the informational set that we give in the nervous system, the safer the body feels, and the more it’s gonna change our thoughts, our feelings, and our perception of reality, and the actions we take at any given moment. So we then start taking actions from an inspired action with very clear intentions. But what we tend to do, we keep going outside of ourselves, and we c- we keep focusing on all the things that are keeping us inhibited. And all we need to do is take our awareness inward and start to allow ourselves to feel.

Reveal, feel, and heal, and move through these patterns. They will release, and you can do that through assistance. You can do that by yourself. You can do that in these retreat environments that we create. There are many ways of doing that, but the key is, is to start doing it. But I think in some ways, we get so conditioned to go outside ourselves, it’s the last place we look, and it’s normally the most painful. When the pain is so great, we’ve run out of options, then we decide to wander in and do something about it. And of course then you’re making– you’re really pushing shit uphill, and it makes things much harder. So we’ve gotta take responsibility, and we’re taking it back.

So and people are doing it. More and more people are doing it. You know, I think I had 200,000 views last month. People are searching, they’re hungry, and it’s happening. This is great. Okay? I, I get excited by that. Not like, “Oh, shit, I gotta do something about this.” Is, is the way you saying, something. But it’s like, it’s empowering, and then if we start to just lean in and we get a whiff of it, we change the, that direction. So the more we can do that within ourselves, within our homes, within our communities and everything else, the more the ripple effect is gonna continue to happen. And number five, uh, point number five, human evolution happens through what we choose. So we have a choice. Okay? So I got How- a quote from Howard Martin here, who I had on the podcast as well.

That was from HeartMath, and, uh, these guys are obviously doing great work. Uh, we are evolving very quickly as a global species. As we expand our consciousness, we begin to understand the concept of self-responsibility more and more. Every time we decide to appreciate rather than complain, every time we decide to have compassion rather than judge, every time we decide to have a feeling of love instead of a feeling of separation and hate, we’re making progress, and all that progress adds up. How beautiful is that? It truly is. If we really cultivate a space of kindness, appreciation, love, gratitude… W- a- and it’s not to say to be pushovers. Trust me, I am no pushover. Okay? What it is, is it’s just cultivating a, a, a space of certainty within yourself and being so grateful for everything that you have in your life, and being so grateful or finding something to be grateful for in your life in this moment. 

The more we cultivate that, the more it’s gonna allow that coherence to start to happen within our, our energetic fields, and the more then that coherence happens, it’s gonna start pushing up against those distortion patterns. Those distortion patterns is what’s then charging the nervous system and giving rise to those debilitating feelings of guilt, shame, depression, all those things that are happening, right? I can only speak for my journey, and this is my interpretation only. Okay? But this is what I’m saying I have noticed, and once you start to experience it and truly embody it at a deep level, and you keep cultivating that garden within you.

This, it, it shifts beyond belief and your heart opens up more and more. You become your bo- your, your, your natural boundaries start to set more and more. Things become almost more, effortless and flow, and you start to focus on all the things within your world and your life that are mirroring back of, of the internal state of being. We have this capability. It is within us all. Okay? I, I used AI to help me put this podcast together today, right? I could, I could go into Gemini on my YouTube channel say, “Find me these quotes. Can you do that?” But, but here and now, okay, what this is, this is discernment. This is m- me speaking from my heart and my soul. This is me just putting this out there to you and connecting from human to human.

It’s driving us to really come back to the roots of it all, to the, to the connections that we’re all craving as a species, I really believe. But it’s up to us to do it. It’s up to us to really take ownership of our own lives, to continue to lean in, heal our own wounds and distortions, and get on that journey of self. But then it’ll ripple out into everyone else. So together we can do it. Oof. That’s why I’m optimistic about humanity and our future because I know I’m not the only one. There’s loads of us, and if you’re watching this, I know you’re one of those too. So let’s continue to rise, let’s continue to do it, and let’s continue to get this information out there, and continue to come together in ways that we’re supporting each other in all sorts of ways to make this happen.

Anyway, that’s my rant. Inner technology, connection, alchemy, sovereignty, evolution. Woah. there’s five things off the cuff. Hopefully that made sense. Yeah. Have I got any announcements? Yeah, I’m coming to the USA. Come and join me. I’m holding space online. We’re doing energy work. Wherever you are, come and join me. Lean in Well, whatever you do. I hope to meet you in person one day and give you a hug anyway. That’s all from me. I’ll see you soon.

I’m standing here right now in Lake Taupo in a beautiful retreat space, and there’s a vast difference between an intellectual experience and passive listening to a fully embodied lived experience, ’cause that’s what retreats can do. They can help you land, start to truly reconnect to yourself, to others, to nature, and to spirit as well. There’s so much in it. That’s why we created Live in Flow, and that’s why we are so passionate about getting this work out there and bringing people together. If you wanna find out more when our next retreat or event is coming up, just check out the link below.
