Spoken in English. Their words, as they said them.

So I have this vision of humanity, each human being from the day they're born being taught to trust their inner selves, being taught to access who they are, being taught to listen into why they were born to be in the first place. So if the world became a place where people trusted their inner self and created the right kind of environment and support for others to do the same, I think being human could become a truly magical thing.

I talk about the kind of the power of six that if each person just influences six other people and those six people each influence six people, by the time you get to between the twelfth and thirteenth level, you've covered the population of the world. So six people doesn't sound too many to influence. If everybody took that kind of responsibility, I think the kind of change we want would happen.

When they begin to realize that we are all within, that consciousness is primary, and that we all exist within a wider consciousness, that consciousness lives through us. There is ultimately the one, and we are all interconnected within the one. And that makes them aware. A kind of sense of compassion, sense of caring, realizing that love is ultimately the most important thing. And a human being is the bridge between the quantum state and the classical physical state. So in our internal worlds, we have an infinite number of choices, waves of possibility.

So I have this vision of humanity, each human being from the day they're born being taught to trust their inner selves, being taught to access who they are, being taught to listen into why they were born to be in the first place.

And so the consciousness education project is a project that is inviting people who understand that consciousness exists beyond the brain and who wants to play a role in encouraging people in wider society to reflect on that, to think about that, to think about the implications for how they live their lives. We're setting up a consciousness educators network. So if you want to put a name on the whole thing, it's a consciousness educators. Everybody's coming from very different places, and we were looking at how to create coherence amongst them. And the key word was interconnectedness. So wherever anybody was coming from, it was coming from a sense that we are all interconnected. And I think for young people, when they begin to realize that we are all within, that consciousness is primary and that we all exist within a wider consciousness, that consciousness lives through us.
