Accidental Gods - The Thrutopian Podcast

Conscious evolution could be our next evolutionary step - a radical shift in what it means to be human. In this episode we outline the steps that we believe could lead us on the path to a co-creation of a new future for humanity.

We are the accidental gods - all of us - we are the generational era that stands on the brink of species level extinction. For the first time in the history of evolution on this planet, one member of one species could conceivably wipe us all out.  We didn't plan this, but it's where we are.  What can we do?

No problem is solved from the mindset that created it.  So we need to think beyond our current expectations of ourselves. We believe that we are ready to make the next evolutionary step.  Not a tweak to our DNA, but a change in consciousness - a choice consciously made, to step into all that we can be.

So this is what we're here for at accidental gods - to chart one way, to inspire, to bring together all the best of what we can be.

This introductory episode puts forward our proposition that conscious evolution is not only timely, it's essential if we're going to survive to the next decade and begins to open the doors to how, collectively, we might get there. 

This is a paradigm shift, the emergence from a hypercomplex system - and as such, the end point is, by necessity, impossible to imagine from here.  But what we can do is shift our mindset so that we are making steady iterative steps towards a different future. As a starting point, we list the four steps we believe are integral to our progress: (Re)Awakening into Connection: Growing into Coherence, Asking for Help (of the other than human world) and Letting go of all that we believe to be true.

What is Accidental Gods - The Thrutopian Podcast?

Another World IS still Possible. The old system was never fit for purpose - and now it's collapsing around us. So how do we co-create a Thrutopian future that we'd all be proud to leave as our legacy?

What stories can we weave of possibility? Of transformation? What happens if we commit to a world based on generative values: compassion, courage, integrity?

What happens if we let go of the race for meaningless money and commit instead to the things that really matter: clean air, clean water, clean soil - and clean, clear, courageous connections between all parts of ourselves, between ourselves and each other, between ourselves and the Web of Life - so that we can reclaim our birthright as self-conscious nodes in the web of life?

We can do this. Some of us already are. Every week on Accidental Gods we speak with the people who are living this world into being, courageous pathfinders who are exploring the emergent edge of inter-becoming.

As a species, we have all the answers, we just haven't yet crafted all the new stories and woven them into a future that works. We have the choice now - we can choose to transform…or we can face the chaos of a failing system.

Our Choice. Our Chance. Our Future.

Accidental Gods is a podcast and membership program devoted to exploring the ways we can create a future that we would be proud to leave to the generations yet to come.
