Mission

To raise harmony and synergy among individuals and the collective by channeling the powers of Sustainable Systems, Interconnectedness, and Mindfulness Meditation.

Key Terms:

Fungi: The kingdom of organisms that includes the yeasts, molds, mildews, and mushrooms. There’s more species in fungi than animals and plants combined.

Mycelium: The thread-like structures that make up fungi. Mycelium remains beneath the soil in all conditions. When the conditions are favorable, some mycelium create mushrooms to reproduce.

Mushrooms: The reproductive stage that produces spores, similar to how a plant’s flower - or “fruit” - produces pollen or seeds in order to reproduce and propagate the species

Bitcoin: A decentralized digital currency, without a central bank or single administrator, that can be sent from user to user on the peer-to-peer bitcoin network without the need for intermediaries.

Our planet is going through unprecedented changes

From the detrimental health and environmental impact of cycles of production and consumption; the pregnant possibility of a new revolutionary financial system; to a global spiritual awakening of human consciousness and planetary interconnectedness. It is an enormous burden to hold, being on the precipice of such monumental change.

Thus, unsurprisingly, we are also in the midst of a mental health crisis. This crisis is not conceptual -- it’s something with which we all grapple with -- depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, severe dissatisfaction.

To add to these dynamic changes, our natural human experiences of ego and desire have been exacerbated by the pressures of modern society: from the ever-growing aspirations for professional and financial goals, to the constant exposure to this digital universe of social media apps grabbing our attention bring us to an unprecedented precipice.

Our brains have not evolved to handle this amount of constant, unwavering stimulation. As we are grappling with how to navigate our very material worlds, we are also jumping in and out of the creation of electronic worlds, digital civilizations which we are pioneering in real time.

How do we navigate this “new normal” when it’s constantly in flux? How do we prepare for the next growth phase of humanity?

ALTHOUGH AS HUMANS, WE ARE THE STEWARDS OF EARTH, IT IS WISE TO REMEMBER THAT WE ARE NOT ALONE. WE ARE NOT SEPARATE.

Humans have not evolved independently from our planet. We have evolved together: interdependent on plants, fungi and animals around us. Plants, and particularly fungi, have been unsung heroes — Mycelium, which consists of a decentralized underground network of fibre, regulates and transports nutrients in soil on most landmasses. This enables communication and coordination between all plant life, and therefore forms the basis of all life on land. The recent creation of the Internet is merely an extension of this biological model that has evolved on this planet for billions of years.

Fungi are sentient, intelligent organisms. They are the only beings that have survived all mass extinction events, making them the oldest living source of knowledge on earth. They evolve and adapt to what’s needed to create symbiotic regulation on our planet. For humans, mushrooms have adapted to become alternatives for medicine, meat, biomaterials, water filters, contemporary waste management, construction materials-- providing solutions to some of the most pressing problems harming our earth today. They are the natural recyclers and the spiritual conductors of our planetary evolution. None of this is by accident.

Co-evolution spans even beyond mushrooms, into all plant life. Herbs and plants intentionally cultivated throughout the millenia have been imbued with meaning. This intention of healing has been preserved through a lineage of care and cultivation. Ayurvedic herbs, such as the ones used in Mycro·Flow-- Ginger, Tulsi, Brahmi, and Ashwagandha, have similarly grown in tandem with human beings. As they were cultivated for generations with deep reverence, these herbs were grown to amplify their healing qualities.

In a time where we are reckoning with our unknown future, returning to our roots to honor plant medicine such as mushrooms and Ayurvedic herbs has never been more important or more timely. Just as Mushrooms and Ayurveda emphasize interconnectedness and proactive well-being,

We are being called to proactively orient ourselves towards a solution -- a healthy collective global ecosystem.

IT’S CLEAR THAT THE CENTRALIZED SYSTEMS CURRENTLY RUNNING THE PLANET ARE INCAPABLE TO COORDINATE THE NEXT GROWTH PHASE OF HUMANITY

A lot of the societal systems we have created operate on a centralized network design (See diagram below), with the control center being the state, or some private institution closely tied to the state. These systems have given us advantages like executing on a focused vision, cost reduction, and quick implementation of decisions, and have helped us get where we are today.

However, just over the last 100 years, the global population has more than quadrupled. The systems that created the foundations of where we are at today, are now creating stark and unavoidable inequality, lack of accountability, and self serving enterprise that is destroying the rest of this planet. One example of a centralized system, is the Bretton Woods system established in 1944, where the governments moved away from the international gold standard to a centralized money planning system. Hyperinflation is a form of economic disaster unique to this system. This is only because governments can print money as they have full control over it and the cost to create more money is ZERO. There was never an example of hyperinflation with economies that operated a gold or silver standard.

The Internet is the first global decentralized system that humans have adopted, resulting in a fundamental Paradigm Shift in how humans operate. The internet democratized information from the centralized control of the printing press, to people and organizations around the world. The Internet is perhaps the greatest enabler of innovation linkages among individuals, communities, businesses, the public sector, and the myriad of new structures—such as social and professional networks— that shape the way innovation occurs and is perpetuated around the globe today.

Bitcoin is the next step towards this evolution into decentralized systems. It is uniquely suited to play the same role that gold played in the gold standard. It is a neutral, decentralized money for an international system that does not give any one country the “exorbitant privilege” of issuing the global reserve currency. As the digital age has introduced improvements and efficiencies to most aspects of our life, Bitcoin presents a tremendous technological leap forward in the monetary solution to the indirect exchange problem, perhaps as significant as the move from cattle and salt to gold and silver.

Not surprisingly, mycelium shares the same network design as Bitcoin and the Internet — an underground decentralized intelligence network described by Paul Stamets as “earth’s natural internet.”. This has allowed fungi to inhabit the earth and survive billions of years, serving as the connecting tissue that links all life around it. Without mycelium networks, no plant would exist anywhere. Therefore, all life on land, including our own, is dependent on these networks. This same network design can be seen across nature - our neural network, dark matter, forests, even stars and galaxies.

In contrast, there’s a fundamental error thought we have opted into, that we are separate from the earth. The only way to move forward is by understanding that: We are not on this earth: We are of this earth. We are this earth. This approach has resulted in us destroying the environment, and in turn ourselves. This pandemic has caused all these systems to shake up, and we are now presented with a choice to use a combination of technology and ecology to implement a new generation of systems. It should be clear that the solution lays in Decentralized, Interconnected Systems.

It’s time we partner with our Planetary Siblings to heal ourselves and this world with regenerative and earth-honoring solutions.

Mushrooms have the power to give us the planetary updates we need to navigate the unprecedented speed of the evolution of life.

Reverently consuming mushrooms and other earth-honoring plant allies gives us a peak into their way of operation. These experiences support us in reconnecting with ourselves, establishing sovereignty, taking a step back from the weight of our collectively constructed matrix, and fundamentally healing ourselves- from the micro to the macro. Mindfulness Meditation forms the ground basis for this journey — we need to be aligned with our inner consciousness before taking any steps.
