World-renowned professor Dr. Gino Yu unlocks the science of consciousness and presents his vision for the next stage of human evolution. He shares his personal awakening experience that led him from computer science and digital entertainment to exploring the world of mysticism and consciousness.
His amazing work over decades draws together neuroscience, developmental and humanistic psychology, phenomenology, epistemology and eastern spiritual practices and philosophies. He explains the five stages of consciousness from how we first form our world view, to moving beyond prescribed roles and beliefs, to having existential crises as we break out of consensus reality (and its physiological challenges), to ego death and rebirth, and finally connecting back to wonderment, gratitude and our innate joy of being.
As humanity collectively goes through the ascension, Gino offers his inspiring vision for how to support and guide this developmental process through his innovative projects - cutting edge as well as deeply humane and compassionate, they recognize entrepreneurship as a spiritual path, nurture future growth and evolution, and engender much needed community for people having awakening experiences around the globe.
