Hi, I’m Steve Farrell, Worldwide Executive Director of the Humanity’s Team 501(c)(3) non-profit and author of the bestselling book, A New Universal Dream: My Journey From Silicon Valley to a Life in Service to Humanity.

I co-founded Humanity’s Team with Neale Donald Walsch (New York Times bestselling author of the Conversations with God series of books) in 2003, with a vision for a world based on the Oneness of all things and the chance for everyone on Earth to live a life deeply connected to the Divine, others, nature, and all of life.

In the world as it is today, we are held back by a crippling and destructive belief that we are separate from each other, the Universe, and the power we identify as the source of all things… 

And this false belief is the root cause of the excessive dysfunction we see all around us, creating a downward spiral that can leave us with a foreboding sense of overwhelm, exhaustion, and despair about the chaos raging around us.

Albert Einstein illuminated the truth of our reality when he wrote, “The greatest illusion in the world is the illusion of separation. We suffer from an optical delusion (the sense of separation) that represents a prison for us… Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature.”

Indeed, there is a simple solution to this seemingly unsolvable problem, and it has been shared down through the ages by leaders in spirituality and science, and it is currently being affirmed by modern research — the reality that all of life is deeply interconnected, interrelated and interdependent in Oneness. 

Today, we live in an unsettling time where society urges us to place our separated self at the center of the Universe, causing us to feel isolated, anxious, and often weary. The outer world is a reflection of our inner world, so we see dysfunction on many levels, including global warming with extreme weather, violence and war, ideological and political polarity, and numerous other challenges. Neither the microcosms of our individual lives, nor the macrocosm of our collective life are well. 

If we are to create healthier ways of living on the Earth, it is time to elevate our consciousness both individually and collectively, and there is no time to waste if we are to shift our approach to living in ways that will make it possible for everyone to experience peace, balance and joy on a sustainable and flourishing planet.

Science supports this new way of living on the Earth, and in October, 2022 the Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded to researchers for proving something called entanglement, a phenomenon where two things with no physical connection can deeply affect each other, even over great distances. Quantum physics is bringing forward substantial new research making it clear that in spite of how things look to us in the physical realm, in the quantum realm, everything is deeply connected and in a constant state of interaction. 

How do things change when we live into this Oneness, this Wholeness, this Omnipresence, this Unity in Diversity? We need look no further than the nuclear family. In a nuclear family, we clearly see our connection to that family unit and we live into it. We take positive action and live in service to the family in many different ways. 

When we see our Oneness with the world around us, instead of just seeing our connection to the nuclear family, we move the fence posts out to embrace the whole of humanity, the Earth itself, and all living creatures. We cannot do everything, of course, but we can do something. Each of us is called to our particular station in life. It can be something as small as helping an infant or elderly person, or something as large as supporting a movement involving a community or the whole of humanity and the Earth. No longer are we detached from the world around us, and we come back into harmony with the Universe to nurture and serve all of life. 

And while this awareness may not be embraced by everyone on the planet in the immediate future, and will require humanity finding a whole new way of living on the Earth, we also know there are important steps that can be taken in this direction. We can commune with the One that some call the Divine and others call the Universe, or God, and we can come into flow as part of our daily practice, carrying this flow state throughout our day. 

When enough of us become conscious and in flow, we will reach a tipping point where the rest of the world around us shifts to this new way of living. As conscious living spreads, it shifts whole communities, and in time it will shift entire countries and eventually the whole world. Many experts believe we will reach that tipping point when 8-10% of the population awakens to this higher consciousness. 

Humanity’s Team’s mission is to make conscious living prevalent worldwide by 2040. Conscious living is a remedy for the world’s problems right here and now, but it must first be understood and embraced, which requires education, the most powerful tool for the transformation of humanity. This is why Humanity’s Team has become the largest global non-profit in transformational education.

We have done this in three ways...
