Three Fundamental
Findings from the Future
1. The power that comes with having a positive vision is amazing
The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are.
– Carl Sagan, 1934-1996
2. We simply need to organize together around the power of a new vision
3: The new theory of Syntropy provides a deep unifying principle and a new story

their customers’ accounts.” - Sir Mervyn King

Mission “to deliver quality, sound financial services
that promote agriculture, commerce and industry in North Dakota.”
“More profitable than Goldman Sachs, has a better credit rating than JP Morgan and Chase,
and hasn’t seen profit growth drop since 2003.
Meet the Bank of North Dakota, the U.S.’s lone state-owned bank.
Return on equity (…) is 18.56%, about 70% higher
than at Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan.”November 19, 2014

A Global Carbon CapA firm global cap
on fossil fuel emissions,agreed to by all nations, motivated by real alarm, and a clear positive vision
of a future green economy.
By 2015, a global cap of 493 Gt of future CO2
National Carbon Caps
1. Each nation is allocated a cap, agreed by negotiation.
2. Every producer or importer of fossil fuels bids for a permit in a national annual auction.
3. The auction puts a price on carbon and brings income to the government.

Or both?
A Spiritual Universe

What is Consciousness?
Guy Dauncey 2013 www.earthfuture.com
Are they just dancing robots?
If I have consciousness,
where did it come from?
“A rudimentary consciousness is present even at the level of particle physics.”
– David Bohm, 1917-1992
“I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind
consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness. “
Max Planck, 1858-1947
Guy Dauncey 2013 www.earthfuture.com
“Consciousness cannot be accounted for in physical terms. For consciousness is absolutely fundamental.
It cannot be accounted for in terms of anything else.” Erwin Schrödinger, 1887 - 1961
Consciousness is everywhere
The Universe is not a purely material, entropic reality
Entropy describes heat-loss in a physical, material world.
In reality, the Universe is pervaded with consciousness
syntropyA New Story
A conscious Universe is a syntropic Universe
Luigi Fantappiè, 1901-1956Founder of syntropy theory
SyntropyGreek syn (together) and tropos (tendency) A deep, unifying, self-organizing force that is
omnipresent in the universe, bringing a tendency towards energy concentration, order, organization
and life, in contrast to entropy.
Self-organizing love
syntropy
Syntropy
All existence shares in a deep cooperative impulse to increase order and wellbeing.
Champions of syntropy, based in Rome, Italy
The 1st Law of Syntropy
“Acting through consciousness, syntropy motivates individual units of being to self-organize
cooperatively within their empathic reach
to achieve greater organizational power, range, competence,
integrity and freedom for their common good.”
from Journey to the Future
The 2nd Law of Syntropy
“In the long run, due to the deep fundamental unity of the Universe, any unit of being that extends its
empathy beyond its familiar reach will discover affinity
with other units of being. Over time, the syntropic impulse will
result in ever-widening circles of empathy, until they embrace the
entire Universe.”

“It’s a race. A race between the expanding reach of our empathy
as it stretches across the world, bringing love and intelligent cooperation for the good of all,
and the clutching fear of tribal distrust, made more powerful by modern technology.
Which will win?”- Guy Dauncey, Journey to the Future
