Consciousness, the Global Brain & Awakening — with Peter Russell
Discover how consciousness, meditation, and technology intersect in Peter Russell’s vision of the global brain—humanity acting as Earth’s nervous system. From Cambridge physics to India’s wisdom traditions, Peter shares practical insights on loosening ego, cultivating stillness, and meeting modern challenges with presence.
As one of the earliest voices to link science and spirituality, Peter’s work invites us to see consciousness not as a byproduct of matter but as the very fabric of existence. His groundbreaking concept of the global brain, first introduced in the 1980s, feels increasingly prophetic in an age of artificial intelligence and planetary interconnection. In this episode, he explores how awakening awareness can transform our relationship with technology, each other, and the living Earth itself.
Key Highlights:
- Humanity as a global brain—interconnection, risk, and potential
- Meditation as a path to clarity, compassion, and self-understanding
- Ego vs. awareness in spiritual traditions
- Can AI be conscious? Differentiating intelligence from awareness
- Synchronicity, meaningful coincidence, and collective mind
