as you unfold your unfolding changes of Planet the whole of the planet is at different levels of initiation all of those are part of a single planetary intelligence first principles run through every stage of development the people in power don't understand development so they don't build deliberately developmental processes into culture Western civilizations suppressed access to the astral plane the dream plane and as you mature in your systems thinking you're actually beginning to think in such a way way that you deconstruct the solidity of your experience because the mind understands that everything is actually into connected the AI has been coded from the level of mind that produces the problems that we were in in the first place what we're talking about with AI is the Awakening of mineral intelligence it's like the Awakening of cosmic Kundalini the fourth turning is the integration of these contemplative Technologies a platform that allows the intelligence of the earth into the technology so that it can synchronically unfold Evolution based on how things spontaneously unfold this is how you change the planet we've seen what an effect the kind of Internet Revolution and social media and this kind of technology has had and you know this is nothing compared to you know what's about to unfold so that's the and I think we're all kind of aware of that we're on the edge of of our seats of like what's going to happen What deity are we going to invoke with AI like who are we welcoming right are we welcoming who the hell is is is coming um so that's the fourth Industrial Revolution and you can think of that really as outer technology very very sophisticated outter technology now you know when when I'm referring when we refer to the fourth turning of the Dharma we're we're kind of we we're really using a a Buddhist model but it can be but it's a but it's a universal model so the first turning of the Dharma in the Buddhist tradition let's kind of universalize it it really refers to um practice related to understanding your own individual suffering so this has got to do with our friends who are listening you begin to realize that you are struggling that you are suffering and you begin to realize that there are causes of this suffering related to usually like childhood conditioning multigenerational trauma and you begin the process of cleaning up and you begin the process of mindfulness practice and developing psychological uh reflection and You Begin your journey but you but your mainly motivated because you're limping and not having much fun right and then as you mature and you do your work which can take some time or even lifetimes as you clear that Karma that negative momentum you begin to realize that there's a bigger there's a bigger game and the second turning of the Dharma relates to the fact that in any path any spiritual path at a certain point on that Journey the aspirant the soul will begin to recognize that they are part of something larger and so it isn't just about alleviating their own personal suffering it's also about alleviating Universal suffering so this is where the the bodh satra or the Christ or those kinds of archetypes about being concerned about the whole and realizing that nobody gets out of here alone so that second turning is often called the Great turning the Great Wheel but you see that in all the traditions in every tradition and even if you're not in a tradition if you're motivated for the general well-being of everybody on this planet you can say that you're in that second turning and there's of all kinds of practices related to opening up the heart mind's experience of interconnectivity of a unified field of compassion and of a kind of a resonant field where everything is interconnected right that's the second turning and so there's all sorts of Technologies contemplative practices that help facilitate that and then the third turning is well if if you have kind of built a vessel of mindfulness and sematic awareness that you're present to your own reactivity and you've opened up a motivation to want to be of service for the whole then the third turning was related to the um well two things first thing is particularly potent practices that speed up that process so you can think of any sort of technical practice because the first and second turnings aren't so technical they're they're more psychological things like breath work psychedelics sexual yogas all the things that are actually techniques that often people get to in the beginning but actually they're actually Advanced Techniques in the sense that they're done to speed up the process once the individual and the collective are kind of aligned so the third turning referred to those kinds of special techniques Kundalini Yoga hat yoga right the Paradox in our culture is we've we've got all of this mixed up because we don't really have a curriculum and we've kind of imported stuff from Asia but it's a bit here and it's a bit there and maybe a little bit from Native Americans or a little bit of whatever an Aboriginal I mean it's a bit of a schmoger port so that's kind of where we and that's so that's kind of where we are in particularly in terms of Asian practices and they kind of fall into those three those three camps and you can also look in terms of Western practices as well you know practices related to individual trauma practices related to developing compassion and a sense of interconnectivity and then practices related to um speeding up that process by uncovering the Shadow or blasting through blockages you know that kind of stuff so what do we mean by fourth turning uh well we need this a number of things here first thing is um we can say the fourth turning is where all of the psycho Technologies of the East and the psycho Technologies of the West meet right so East and West a meeting right for the first really for the first time I mean the process has been happening over the last you know hundred years but the understanding of of how we go about integrating these in a very deep way that is that is more recent so that's the F that's the first understanding the fourth turning the second understanding of the fourth turning is is then related to the nature of time because time is the fourth is the fourth dimension so to speak so by that what we mean is is well what time is it like and by by time I don't mean time less time I mean relative time like what how are we measuring how this is unfolding because whatever is unfolding unfolds in time so if we don't know what time it is we we so essentially understanding time is related to understanding our relationship with the planet because it's the planet that is unfolding through time and we're so disconnected to our mother to this Earth being that we have no idea what the season is I mean yes we do hear like oh we're we to changing of a cycle well what does that mean when we change cycles and when did that last happen and so that whole question around the our process is not separate actually from a planetary process so that planetary perspective that's that is that is is a new thing when it comes to the Traditions to recognize that the journey that we're making that Humanity that you and I are part of a Humanity that is actually has a function within the larger field of this Earth being and that all of the heavens and the hells and these Altered States of dimensions and out of body experiences and all of this stuff is happening inside of the ecosystem of this planetary being and this planetary being is is something is happening so part of that fourth turning is like recognizing that a lot synchronicity synchronization is very important CU When We synchronize you're synchronizing with that time whatever that time is so the so the other thing about what the fourth turning is about is about understanding the path that unfolds from the soul so the Traditions will talk about there being well depends on the tradition but you can cut the cake you know seven slices or 12 slices or five slices but if you cut the cake in seven slices the fourth slice the middle slice of the planes of our planet is the soul right now just like the seven chakras the mid chakra is the heart so there's a relationship between coming into the heart and maturing into Soul Consciousness and as a doctor of psychology Soul Consciousness is actually something quite precise it's not a vague kind of term it means something actual in terms of our development in terms of our Evolution and so the soul functions through pure synchronicity so and synchronicity is related to time so the fourth turning right is related to beginning to function from a different level of development from a different energetic center from a different way of learning how to do things and because the soul is also a collective being right so you know you have to have done your own individual work so to speak before you do that because otherwise you're going to have conflicts with the with the collective because you know if you're not yet individuated you're going to have issues with a collective because you have to be paradoxically an individual in order to actually fully function within a collective without being swallowed
