We Have So Much More of Being Human to Discover

The same curiosity we bring to AI, turned inward.

We Have So Much More of Being Human to Discover

One letter every Wednesday, for founders and leaders, on what strategy cannot reach.

We have so much more of being human to discover.

I keep thinking about how different our relationship with AI was just a year ago. In my own work it is becoming more useful by the month, and I find myself attempting things I would have postponed before because of the time or the resources they required. I spent eighteen years building the future for the world's largest companies, including consumer and enterprise AI at Google and Microsoft, so I say this as someone who has built these systems. Each new capability opens another question about what becomes possible, and I feel that same curiosity when I turn inward.

In my interview with Anna Numera, I spoke about exploring our inner world with the same urgency that we bring to technological development. Knowledge can expand in both directions, and each discovery gives us more to explore.

There is something wonderful about being alive while so much is becoming possible, and there is also uncertainty. We don't have a full picture of what the next hundred years of human evolution will entail, and even our understanding of ourselves is still unfolding. We have learned an extraordinary amount about the brain, and the question of how its activity produces our experience is still open. In my spiritual work, I meet questions about perception, connection, and knowing that keep changing how I understand being human.

Over twenty years of spiritual practice, I have explored capacities that changed my understanding of what we can do.

These include experiences I understand as telepathic communication, remote viewing, entering other dimensions, and receiving knowledge without a step-by-step reasoning process. I have watched people describe profound changes in their emotional and physical well-being, and events I interpret as materialization among countless beautiful and magical experiences I cannot number here.

Here is one that stayed with me. In a session with a client, I told her I had been sensing an up-level in her business the whole time we were talking. She told me it had already begun: she had made an additional $150K in the past month, and it had felt effortless. I had not seen a number. I had felt the shift in her before she said a word about it, and that is usually how it comes: the state first, and the facts a few sentences later.

Some of these moments have been so specific and meaningful to me that I cannot casually put them aside as coincidence. They are part of my life and my work, and I continue to explore what they mean and how they happen. They have also changed the questions I ask about human potential. What happens when we develop a deliberate relationship with these capacities, learn their limits, and work with them responsibly?

I believe these possibilities call for serious exploration. I see them as tools we may learn to work with more consciously, alongside the technological tools we are developing.

As that exploration deepens, our attention turns inward. We become interested in how we are made, how we are connected, and how an insight can come before we can explain it. Sometimes it comes with a completeness that feels like a download. Sometimes an experience changes our understanding of who we are and what we can access. In my spiritual language, I describe some of this as dimensional or quantum access, while the scientific explanation remains an open question.

There are moments when I feel mesmerized by the beauty of how we are made. For me, that wonder becomes an encounter with the touch of the Creator. My excitement about AI grows alongside that discovery: I want to see what becomes possible as our technological knowledge expands and we develop a deeper, more discerning relationship with our own abilities. Both directions of discovery belong in the future I am holding in my vision.

Letters like this one land every Wednesday morning.

What we discover matters through how we live with it.

One of the teachings I return to is that there are capacities within us we are still learning to recognize. In my spiritual understanding, we come into this life connected to something much larger than the identity we eventually build. As we grow, we learn what kind of person we are, what we are allowed to have, and whose judgment should carry more weight than our own. Some of those understandings help us develop. Others become so familiar that we stop noticing they are interpretations, and they become the limits of what we allow ourselves to consider or experience.

In a session, someone meets a sense of themselves to be so vast and powerful beyond those familiar boundaries. They ask questions inside the experience, describe what they notice, and take part in discovering what it means. What moves me is the recognition that can follow: a person feels more connected to their own power, to love, and to the Creator. This is what I mean when I speak about actualization. The discovery becomes something you get to live out when you open your eyes.

Here is how I work with an insight when it comes, in a session or in my own life, so that it does not stay a beautiful feeling. The work happens inside the state itself. There you can ask clarifying questions, ask what comes first, feel whether it is yours now, later, or not at all, and sense what you need to do, and the practical form shows itself while you are still in it: a conversation, a decision, a number in the plan. The experience and the doing are one movement. Then she acts on that one thing, and the rest of the insight unfolds as she goes. For those of us creating businesses, that is where the discovery meets the work: in which possibilities we pursue, how we respond to uncertainty, and what we are willing to receive. I want that exploration to become part of how we create and contribute.

The future I hold in my vision is a renaissance.

There are serious concerns about AI, including how power is used and how people's lives will change, and those concerns need attention and practical action. Our uncertainty about the future includes possibilities we fear and possibilities we have barely imagined.

In my deep meditation and inquiries, I come to understand that there is a future open to us that we can call a new Renaissance: a time in which our expanding knowledge is accompanied by greater wisdom, connection, and care, and in which we discover more of our human potential while developing tools that extend what we can accomplish together. I believe there is value in holding that Renaissance together and taking part in bringing it into being.

For a founder or business owner, that participation enters everyday decisions: what you build, what you fund, how you treat people, and what you choose to make possible for others. A vision takes form through the attention and action we give it.

We can bring serious curiosity to the experiences that expand our understanding of ourselves, study what can be studied, be honest about what remains unexplained, and develop discernment as we go. We can also allow ourselves to feel wonder.

I want to keep exploring what technology can become, and I want to keep discovering the depth of the beings we already are, and the connection with the Creator that I experience through that discovery. There is much more open to us than we have been told. We have so much more of being human to discover, and I want us to take part consciously in where that discovery takes us.
