Summary

I’m very excited, Gatherers, because lately I feel that something is changing in this world in a profound way, and I don’t think I’m the only one… There’s a feeling of irrational hope, a strange joy, a sense that something wonderful is happening in the midst of all the horrors. I’ve always been obsessed with the idea that we humans would change the way we live in a dramatic way at some point during my lifetime. I call it “pool consciousness”—where we move from hierarchical, pyramid-shaped structures to a more fluid, interconnected “pool” way of being. In this episode of The Gathering Room, I’m diving deep into pool consciousness and sharing a list of 12 signs that indicate you may be experiencing this shift now, too: A quiet but persistent sense that Something is happening Irrational hope and joy rising amidst upheaval and uncertainty Easy laughter, more fun, more delight—for no particular reason “Itchy mask syndrome”—an inability to be inauthentic A softening of rigid striving Intense emotional waves that cleanse without drowning you An expanding capacity for paradox and holding opposites Feeling more yourself than ever—but also more connected to everyone Disinterest in “keeping up” with traditional life goals An inner rebellion against hierarchies Strangeness with time-speeding up, stretching, collapsing A sense of being guided by signs, synchronicities, and “God winks” If you are experiencing any of these twelve signs, or a clump of them, you may be part of something happening that has never happened before in human history. Even though the world is going to hell in a handbasket, at the same time, there is something new rising—something that we’ve all been waiting for our whole lives, maybe even since the human species first evolved. I don’t know exactly what it is, but I’m excited to be part of it! Tune in for the full episode to hear about “The Pyramid and the Pool” metaphor and learn more about each of the 12 signs of pool consciousness. I’ll also share how to access hope during personal struggles, how to recognize synchronicities and guidance, and how authenticity, cooperation, and openness are key to navigating this new consciousness. Join me!

0:00.0	Hello, the lovely peoples. This is Marty, Martha, inviting you to a free masterclass that I have made called
0:08.0	Five Paths to Your Purpose. Probably the most common question I get from people is, how do I find my purpose?
0:14.7	Why don't I feel that I'm on purpose? Well, it turns out there are certain things you have to do to find your purpose, and I broke
0:22.0	them down into five, and I made a little masterclass about it. So if you'd like to see it, just go to
0:28.3	marthabeck.com slash purpose, and you will be able to watch it without any charge at all.
0:49.0	Welcome to the Gathering Room podcast, the audio version of my weekly gathering room broadcast. I'm Martha Beck. I am very excited today because there's only one thing I could talk about today.
0:59.2	And that didn't used to be the case. It used to be throw me a microphone and I will just talk about
1:04.6	anything you want. I don't know if I can still do that because lately something is changing and I don't think I'm the
1:13.7	only one. It's very strange to spend your entire life predicting something that you don't really
1:19.9	understand and then to see it actually start to happen. So if you're a newbie to the gathering room, I have always been obsessed with
1:32.2	this thing about how human beings would change the way they live in a dramatic way at some
1:37.0	point during my lifetime. And as a sociologist, I've always thought of it in terms of,
1:41.5	okay, we live in these social pyramids and we live in exploitive systems.
1:45.4	That's not the way it's going to be.
1:46.9	There's going to be a shift.
1:48.5	And that's not going to look like a pyramid-shaped structure.
1:51.5	It's more like a pool of energy where everyone is a portion of energy interacting in a sort of wave function with everybody else.
2:08.0	I made a thing of it. I made a metaphor of it that's online called the pyramid in the pool and you can go see it. Well, see, here's the thing.
2:13.2	We all live in social pyramids where you were born and people were already in charge of you,
2:18.9	right? You were at the bottom. You were a little weak, little creature. And as you climbed in society,
2:24.1	you got a higher and higher place in the pyramid, if you could. Because everybody's trying to get
2:29.2	a higher place in the pyramid of wealth, status, and power and and all of that. But recently you may have experienced
