The focus of the Women Inventors and Innovators Mural is subtle, powerful and essential for our evolutionary times. Through illuminating the drivers of success and resilience that have enabled women to help change the world over the last 100-plus years–often against great odds–our goal is to help accelerate the necessary shift to a more balanced and equitable world, furthering innovation important for meaningful societal advancement and planetary wellness. This project of the NextNow Collaboratory leverages our hallmark approach to complex problems: Making the Invisible Visible™ through the visualization of complex information via large murals that show events and ideas in a single big picture, enabling us to perceive key…

Physicists Say Consciousness Should Be Considered A State of Matter: The “Non Physical” Is Real (CE Reprint)
ARJUN WALIAOCTOBER 28, 2016 “Looking for consciousness in the brain is like looking in the radio for the announcer.” –Nassim Haramein, director of research for the Resonance Project It’s been more than one hundred years since Max Planck, the theoretical physicist who originated quantum theory, which won him the Nobel Prize in Physics, said that he regards “consciousness as fundamental,” that he regards “matter as a derivative from consciousness,” and that “everything we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.” He is basically saying that the immaterial ‘substance’ of consciousness is directly intertwined with what we perceive to…
The Unstoppable Momentum of Natural Forces
Institute of Noetic Sciences blog post by Claudia Welss on COP21 and Subtle Activism: The Unstoppable Momentum of Natural Forces 9 December 2015 By: Claudia Welss, IONS board of directors, Global Coherence Initiative Steering Committee, Gaiafield Project Council Twenty years ago I was distributing research by the Union of Concerned Scientists to global executives of major corporations as director of executive education at the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley, trying to get their attention and hoping to influence their policies. The research concluded we had twenty years before Earth and humanity reached a climate tipping point, beyond which there was no…
The New Science of Remote Causation
NNC is one of the original supporters of this continuing campaign/experiment at Burning Man to determine if something real is being measured…. I Controlled a Huge Freakin’ Laser With My Mind! The New Science of Remote Causation by Tam Hunt, UC Santa Barbara Reprinted from the Santa Barbara Independent Journal, Wednesday, March 27, 201 I contrive no hypotheses. ~ Isaac Newton, discussing gravity in Principia Mathematica Isaac Newton, perhaps the greatest scientist who ever lived, did of course make many hypotheses about gravity. In fact, he developed an incredibly profound general theory of gravity that united such seemingly different phenomena as a falling apple and the circling of the…
NextNower Gets Serious About Play: SERIOUSLY!
About a year ago, Gwen Gordon and I were playing together, exploring cosmologist Brian Swimme’s Powers of the Universe: Seamlessness – the source of all powers, the ground of being, pure generativity; Centration – the power of concentration and exhilaration, how the Universe centers on itself; Allurement – the power of attraction, how things hold together; Emergence – the power of creativity, how the Universe transcends itself; Homeostasis – the power of maintaining achievement, what the Universe values; Cataclysm – the power of destruction, living in a Universe where things break down; Synergy – the power of working together, mutually enhancing relationships; Transmutation – the power to…
Welcome 2012: Occupy Love
Our wish for 2102 is that this year we will recognize the value of our hearts in true connective intelligence, and we will finally, collectively, Occupy Love. Consider that the heart has its own intrinsic nervous system, a bundle of neurons in the heart that actually qualifies as a brain. Our heart brains communicate information to the brains in our heads—in fact, more information travels from the heart to the head than the other way around, the only organ for which this is true. But we have to be receptive, in a psychophysiological way, to receive its subtle signals. I’ve…
THRIVE Movie Premiers 11.11.11
Thanks to NextNowers Vic Desotelle and Bill Daul for circulating to our NextNowNetwork community. The website is interesting. “My name is Foster Gamble and I’ve spent nearly a lifetime trying to figure out what happened that could account for the staggering agony and deprivation on this planet. I set out on a journey seeking to answer questions like, is it even possible for humans to thrive? I found a code, a pattern in nature, that’s been embedded in arts and icons throughout the centuries. Truth hidden.”
Cultural Creatives 1.0 – The (R)Evolution

Collective Reality Transmission Experiment Starts Tonight
First Synchronized Event 11:11 EST tonight, 11/11/10 In the categories of “interesting (if unscientifically conducted) experiment” and “nothing to lose”, and in the interests of our mission, Making the Invisible Visible, consider joining me. The New Reality Group is merely a group of friends who are physicists and mathematicians that believe our very own consciousness defines our reality. But it’s not important who we are – just think of us as the people trying to organize a group effort for change and we’re happy to have your participation. Change your thoughts, change your world!
