Consciousness Moonshots

Research projects for the Elevator

As some of you, I have co-founded a small think tank / incubator, The Elevator. We publish a regular newsletter, covering new developments across what we call the “global consciousness movement.” We’ve recently published a position paper, The Idealism Option, which explores the paradigm shift into a post-materalialist world (please download it here or buy the book here).

The Elevator is still in its early stage. We are looking for funders and supporters, as well as partnering organizations and advisers. Please email me if you are interested. One way we are generating funds for The Elevator is through online seminars. Our first seminar is The Future of Consciousness, which starts August 25.

Through The Elevator, we plan to undertake what we call “Consciousness Moonshots:” Research initiatives that lead to practical, actionable initiatives in areas that have been made taboo or repressed by the mainstream. I thought I would present some of these initiatives here, as people may want to support us in various ways or may have relevant ideas for us. Here is one moonshot project we would like to undertake.

Nonphysical Entity Contact: Request for Guidance / Help 

All around the world and throughout history, mystics, seers, and shamans have reported the phenomenon of contact with nonphysical entities and higher intelligence. Such contacts are the basis of our world religions: Moses heard the voice of YHWH; Jesus spoke with God, “the Father;” and Mohammed channeled the Angel Gabriel to write the Quran. Indigenous curanderos claim to work with spirits as well as the invisible sentience of plants. Modern-day occultists and visionaries have also claimed such contacts: Aleister Crowley channeled The Book of the Law; Madame Blavatsky worked with “invisible masters:” Terence McKenna said he developed many of his radical ideas through dialogue with the superconscious Logos of the mushroom.
