Rising of New Earth from the old

Steven Fernandez

OLD EARTHNEW EARTH

The shift

We are living through a human identity shift. The pillars of human society are moving. The framework we have lived inside is moving. The way we relate to our planet and to each other is moving. And there will be the rise of new species arriving on this planet.

The bridge

The bridge between the old Earth and the New Earth is not one generation alone. It is those of us who remember the analog world and who also understand the empowerment of AI and its agents.

We remember the phone on the wall. Cassettes used as hard drives. Dial up internet. The first cell phone without a keyboard. Listening to humans on the radio. We remember memorizing phone numbers, finding our way with a paper map, and developing photographs onto paper.

We were trained on analog creation and analog intuition, and now we are the ones being empowered by agentic intelligence. We have lived through several versions of humanity in one lifetime. That is the bridge.

ANALOGAGENTIC

The pillars being reimagined

Look at the structures being reimagined.

?TRUTH?SYSTEMS?CURRENCY?BORDERS?GOVERNMENTS?THE PLANET?TECHNOLOGY

Truth. At the top of it all is the word truth. What is true anymore?

Systems. Our systems are being tested. The way we organize ourselves is being rethought.

Currency. What is of value? Money itself is being reimagined. We see it in crypto. We see it in which markets hold value and which do not.

Borders. Borders are being tested. We are watching nations redraw the lines, and asking where these imaginary lines were ever drawn. Trading partners are being realigned. The idea of a superpower, and of which countries stand together, is being reimagined.

Governments. Governments are being questioned. How shall we be ruled? How shall we be governed? Whose ideologies should we follow?

The planet. The energy of the Earth is responding to our decisions. Her weather patterns are changing. Her atmosphere is changing. Her climate is changing.

Technology. Technology is rewiring the brain, and with it our connection to ourselves, and so to each other. As we become more divided in our own minds, the practices of our ancestors fall away. We are losing the ability to reason, to think, to solve, and ultimately to channel. We are eradicating patience and putting a numbing longing in its place.

The calling

As we cross to the New Earth, there will be a calling. Those of us on the bridge will be asked to teach the next generation how to get to the other side, while different forces try to pull human culture in their own directions.

This shift is not an extinction. It is a different understanding of what it means to be human.

Those who are called

Those of us who can balance the logical mind and the intuitive mind. Those of us who understand the purpose of energy and the soul. Those of us who put love before fear. We are the ushers and the messengers into the New Earth.

LOGICALINTUITIVE

The question of AI

As we take on the practices of AI, we are training ourselves to think the way it thinks, to act the way it acts, and to believe our minds and our experience on Earth should be like it. This may be the most important impact on the human species. There will be positive and negative sides to AI. The question is which one prevails.

HOW WE ARE WIREDHOW IT IS WIRED

Our minds are not wired like computers. Working with them the way they are actually wired will become the challenge we face, more and more, until we reach the other side.

The New Earth

What that New Earth looks like depends on how human we can remain. To be human is to remain analog in a world that is becoming hyperdigitized.

The question will be, how do we interact with our planet and each other when new species arrive?
