Systems are not just structures; they are a reflection of the consciousness from which they arise.
To truly evolve any system, not just to change it and make “bad things better”, we must first reveal the paradigm from which the system emerges. This requires a deep ontological, epistemological and spiritual transformation that realigns our collective awareness.
As a collective, we are slowly beginning to comprehend that the solutions we create must come from a place of integrated, embodied and interconnected Earth-centered awareness—where the healing of the self informs the healing of the system. As we transform our inner world in a re-associative orientation alongside natural law and fluency, the systems we build will naturally evolve into more resilient, intelligent, and regenerative forces for life-affirming solutions.
An Spiritual Foundation for Systems Revelation Rooted in Science
Quantum physics has revealed that at the most fundamental level, physical matter is not solid and fixed but is made up of vibrating energy fields that are not visible. This insight challenges our traditional understanding of reality, suggesting that everything we perceive as "matter" is merely a manifestation of different invisible states of energy. Thought is a state of energy, for example. Yet, despite this profound scientific knowledge, most of our solutions to global issues—such as climate change and climate action, economic inequality, and environmental degradation—ignore this scientific fact and relational intelligence, as we are still primarily focused on addressing the physical (seen) aspects of these problems without considering and focusing on the more subtle (unseen) underpinnings and undercurrents.
By concentrating only on the physical matter, we overlook the energetic, mental and emotional relationships (or lack there of) that shape and sustain these systems. We attempt to ‘fix’ problems through techno-solutionism and techno-saviorism, financial models of further commodification of nature, or policy changes that target surface-level symptoms, while failing to address the energy dynamics at their core which manifest into physicalized matter.
In Quantum Systems Revelation, we recognize that true transformation comes from shifting our awareness and consciousness on an epistemological and ontological level, which influence the relationships and subtle layers that drive all material change, rippling up through the mental, emotional and physical realities. By focusing on the subtle, underlying energies of interconnectedness, interrelatedness and interdependency, we can create more holistic, regenerative solutions that reflect the deeper nature of the systems we aim to transform, including ourselves.
“The whole thing is a set of relationships, and we’re part of it, and we’ve forgotten how to relate."
— John Trudell
The most profound change in any system starts with spiritual evolution—a transformation in our consciousness that shifts how we see and relate with ourselves, others, and Earth. This inner shift isn't just about individual growth in a disassociated, individualistic capacity, but about evolving our collective ontology and worldview by reawakening a relational intelligence that is innate in each and every humans’ indigenous soul*. This cultivates a deeper sense of kinship and interconnectedness that supports us in transcending anthropocentric thinking into nested awareness and relational epistemologies. When we evolve at the awareness-level, we naturally start to act in ways that are natural; that promotes responsibility, equilibrium and reverence of the sacred. This shift in awareness (which is not a concept, but a way of being) is what lays the foundation for real evolution in the world of systems.
*Martin Prechtel states that, “Every individual in the world, regardless of cultural background or race, has an indigenous soul struggling to survive in an increasingly hostile environment created by that individual’s mind. A modern person’s body has become a battleground between the rationalist mind — which subscribes to the values of the machine age — and the native soul. This battle is the cause of a great deal of spiritual and physical illness.”
Human-being-awareness-based systems thinking focuses on the transformation of self—not merely shifting external systems or behaviors, but deeply engaging with the human predicament at every level. It acknowledges that the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions are inextricably intertwined, forming the core of our existence as shapes of Earth.
By focusing on spiritual, epistemological and ontological evolution first, we follow the scientific knowledge that quantum physics has proven and Original People’s have known since time immemorial; to shift forward into a higher consciousness that promotes relational intelligence and embodied sustainable, regenerative praxis. This ensures the coordinates that emerge from this state that we cultivate are deeply rooted in integrity and respect for all of life, not just human life. This evolution, originating from within our shared spiritual origins and dimensions, and moving into the less subtle mental, emotional and physical dimensions, respectively, naturally ripples out to create lasting transformations in our physical, social, geopolitical and environmental systems.
Note: We want to highlight that these shifts are not mental models of thought, they are ways of being, relating, creating and living that can be conceptualized. We are not promoting mental cleverness and changing words without behavioral shifts from the inside out.
