Full spectrum leaders have a personal touch. They stay in contact and are accessible to their colleagues. They manage by values; they measure their organizational culture; and they focus on their own psychological development as well as the psychological development of their people.[1]

At the core of the transition of business in Humanity Awareness will be a shift in focus from short-term financial results to long-term societal goals. Increasingly, businesses will be organized around cooperative principles.

This quote from Daniel Goleman sums up the type of leadership we will find in Humanity Awareness.

‘Great leaders do not settle for systems as they are, but see what they could become, and so work to transform them for the better, to benefit the widest circle. Then there are those rare souls who shift beyond mere competence to wisdom, and so operate on behalf of society itself rather than a specific political group or business. They are free to think far, far ahead. Their aperture encompasses the welfare of humanity at large, not a single group; they see people as We, not as Us and Them. And they leave a legacy for future generations – these are the leaders we remember a century or more later.’[2]

In Wealth Awareness we depleted the Earth’s resources in search of profits. In People Awareness we began to correct our ways: we started to recognize the adverse impacts we were having on our environment and began to focus on environmental sustainability. This led to the creation of the Green Parties.

The first Green Parties were created in the 1970s. There are now Green Parties in more than 90 countries. The Global Greens Charter lists six guiding principles: ecological wisdom, social justice, participatory democracy, nonviolence, sustainability and respect for diversity. In the worldview of People Awareness, we began to focus on recycling and reducing carbon emissions.

We will all spend more time in nature, particularly with our children; we will rely on nature to nurture our souls; and we will not let economic gain get in the way of preserving and enhancing our natural environment. The quality of the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat will be our top priority. There will be no food products that are not organic. In addition to focusing on our own health, we will start to focus on the health of all living creatures and the planet itself.

Politics in the worldview of Wealth Awareness was all about money. The high-income people had their political party, and the low-income people had their political party. This resulted in increasingly high levels of inequality.

Governance in the worldview of People Awareness solved the problem of inequality by focusing on the basic needs of everyone – not the rich, not the poor, but everyone. All political parties shifted their focus to the centre and a general acceptance of the need for a market economy and a welfare state. As a result of the acceptance of this core ideology, it became increasingly difficult to distinguish between political parties. The worldview of People Awareness shifted national governments from two-party adversarial politics to multi-party cooperative coalitions.

The key issue in Humanity Awareness will be to create a governance system that deliberately develops and carefully cultivates ‘a deeper kind of welfare system that includes the psychological, social and emotional aspects of human beings, so that the average person, over the length of his or her lifespan, becomes much more secure, authentic and happy. Once the average person is much more secure, authentic and happy, he or she also tends (on average) to develop into a braver, more mature, more idealistic and reasonable person who cooperates more easily with others and makes better priorities, both individually and politically. Such people can then recreate society in a myriad of ways, solving many of the complex, wicked problems that we are facing today.’[1]

In the worldview of State Awareness, herbs and plants were used for healing. In the worldview of Nation Awareness, sacrifice and prayers were used for healing. In the worldview of Wealth Awareness, surgery and drugs were used for healing. In the worldview of People Awareness, in addition to surgery and drugs, we begin to see the introduction of alternative healing modalities involving the mind–body connection. In the worldview of Humanity Awareness, we will see a significant increase in psychotherapeutic and energy approaches to healing.
‍
In Humanity Awareness there will be a shift in the understanding of who we really are. We will recognize that we are primarily energetic beings living in material bodies. We will come to realize that health disorders, mental and physical, reflect the energetic misalignment between the energy behind our ego’s motivations and the energy behind our soul’s motivations.
‍
A discussion on the linkage between the stages of psychological development and physical and mental disorders resulting from a failure to master a particular stage of development can be found in A New Psychology of Human Well-Being: An Exploration of the Influence of Ego-Soul Dynamics on Mental and Physical Health. The precise nature of these linkages is still a work in progress and needs more research.

It is important to recognize that school systems are organized to teach children what they need to know to support the dominant worldview. Thus, in the worldview of State Awareness there is a strong focus on physical fitness, sports, strategy and combat skills. In the worldview of Nation Awareness there is a strong focus on reading, writing and religious knowledge. In the worldview of Wealth Awareness there is a strong focus on mathematics, science, economics and business skills. In the worldview of People Awareness there is a strong focus on gender relations and emotional intelligence skills.
‍
In Humanity Awareness, our education systems will focus on teaching people of all ages how to increase their sense of wellbeing.

It is sad, but true, that men have been dominating and deprecating women in public life for more than three millennia. This is still the case in nations that embrace the worldviews of State Awareness, Nation Awareness and Wealth Awareness. Women are treated like servants, slaves and sexual objects in the worldview of State Awareness. In the worldview of Nation Awareness, they are ‘tolerated’ but not encouraged to contribute. They are only revered if they are a successful warrior (Joan of Arc), a successful monarch (Queen Elizabeth I) or can beat men at their own games. In the worldview of Wealth Awareness, women are only considered useful if they contribute to the economy, but their work is not valued as highly as men.
‍
In People Awareness, women got an equal voice, equal opportunities and equal status to men in public life – equality is still a work in progress in business life. So, what’s next? What will happen to gender relations in the worldview of Humanity Awareness?
‍
In the worldview of Humanity Awareness, women and men are no longer collaborators, they are partners. They each acknowledge the others’ respective strengths and use them in appropriate circumstances.
‍
The key to gender relations in the worldview of Humanity Awareness is not external equality (that is, what we learned in People Awareness), but internal equality – each gender becoming whole through the integration of female energies of Yin in the male, and the integration of male energies of Yang in the female.

The fundamental purpose of justice has always been to protect the internal stability of a society by preventing and punishing actions that could destabilize the dominant worldview.
In the worldview of State Awareness, justice is focused on protecting the power of the elites. Severe punishments act as a fear-based deterrent for stabilizing the power of the ruling aristocracy. Torture as a means of getting to the truth is considered acceptable. Instantaneous punishment by death and physical maiming are common practice in the worldview of State Awareness.
‍
In the worldview of Nation Awareness, justice is focused on supporting moral righteousness. Courts are made up of religious or high-ranking State officials. This leaves the courts open to manipulation by the elites. In this worldview, the elites tend to get less severe punishments than the common people. The ultimate punishment in this worldview is the death penalty.
‍
In the worldview of Wealth Awareness, justice is focused on moral and economic fairness. Justice is administered by independent courts and suitably qualified citizens who decide on the outcome of a trial. Punishment for serious crimes can include heavy fines and long periods of incarceration. There is no capital punishment in nations that operate from the worldview of Wealth Awareness.
‍
In the worldview of People Awareness, justice is also focused on moral and economic fairness; even though punishments involve fines and/or incarceration, a strong emphasis is placed on rehabilitation so that wrongdoers can reintegrate into society and recidivism is reduced. There is no capital punishment in the worldview of People Awareness.
‍
A key component of the justice system in Humanity Awareness will be inter-generational fairness – a shift from a focus on societal short-term gains to long-term benefits that support both people and the environment. For this to happen, we must encourage long-term social and environmental investing; and, most importantly, we must give the young a voice in key decision-making. Theirs is the future; they must have a say on the world we are creating (see the section on Governance).

Most of us do not let our light out, because we are afraid that our offering will not be good enough; that it will be judged unworthy. So, we watch and listen to the works of the courageous souls who are attempting to make their perfect offering, secretly hoping that through their inspiration we can find the courage to access our own light within. We fail only because we lack the courage to embrace our unique gifts and talents, or we prioritize success over well-being, or status over self-expression.
‍
The arts can be used to mirror our inadequacies and inspire us to become more fully who we are; to access our gifts and talents and make them public. Most importantly, the arts can be used to tell inspiring stories about how Humanity Awareness is creating a better world for everyone.
‍
The arts hold the key to the flourishing of Humanity Awareness, because Humanity Awareness corresponds to the fifth stage of psychological development –self-actualization, the stage where we learn to access our soul's self-expression. The Arts provide an avenue for us to express our unique gifts and talents in service to the growth and well-being of humanity. In the worldview of Humanity Awareness, children are encouraged to creatively express their natural skills and talents.
‍
One of the major personal benefits about participating in the Arts is that you make strong connections, especially if you are involved in drama, dance, opera, all forms of choral work, or music. You experience cooperation, collaboration, and friendship, and when it all comes together, you experience a sense of Unity. Music and dance are particularly bonding for audiences because they enable you to feel a sense of emotional connection without the barrier of language.

There is no doubt in my mind that you are wonderfully privileged if you have a child.  You may have much to teach your child, but never forget for a moment that your child may have much to teach you. Just like you, your child is a soul. You are equal in this regard. You share the same origins and at the deepest level of being you share the same universal values, but you do not share the same gifts and talents. In this regard, every soul is unique. Every soul has its own form of self-expression. Your job is to nurture and support your child’s self-expression, just as it was your parents’ job to nurture and support yours.
‍
That is your primary role as a parent – to give your child’s soul the opportunity to express its unique character: not to fashion it; not to mold it or make it into a replica of you, but to give it the space to grow and flourish in a fear-free environment so your child may become all it can become. You must also teach your child how to connect with other children and contribute to the well-being of their peer group.
‍
Always treat your child as an equal. You may bring your experience and learning to the relationship but allow your child to make its own informed choices: allow it to learn the repercussions and responsibilities involved in decision-making. If you can do this, you will be setting your child up to make responsible choices later in life. Your job is to assure your offspring’s survival, safety and security during its infant, childhood and teenage years, so that it grows up without a self-critical voice and without subconscious fears.
‍
Once your child has left home, your job as a parent is not finished. You must become their trusted advisor – someone your child can turn to when they get embroiled in the vicissitudes of life. The soul of your child has its own destiny: you must allow and support it in its unfolding. In this regard it is important that you are aware of the seven stages of psychological development – the journey the soul goes through in its attempt to find fulfilment in our three-dimensional material plane of awareness.

At the core of every worldview is an underlying cosmology. In the worldview of People Awareness, the underlying cosmology was spirituality – a subjective experience of other dimensions of being and an exploration of the deepest values and meanings by which people live.
‍
Whereas the focus of spirituality is on the ‘journey’, the focus of the cosmology of Humanity Awareness is on the ‘destination’ – the retrieval of soul consciousness – the awareness we had when we were born, which we lost when the pain of being present in material awareness became too great for our soul to bear. To protect itself, the soul created the psychic entity we call the ego to act as a buffer – to soak up the pain that comes from the experience of fear and separation.
‍
Although we live our lives in physical awareness, we know we are not of this world. When we die, we do not lose consciousness; we simply divest ourselves of our bodies and our material awareness and move back into our full energetic awareness. Our physical body is the vehicle the soul uses to get around in material awareness, and until we recover our soul, the ego is the driver.
‍
This understanding of the energetic nature of our being has major implications for health and healing. In the worldview of Humanity Awareness, we recognize that all mental and physical dis-ease arises from a lack of energetic alignment between the values and motivations of the ego and the values and motivations of the soul.
‍
Souls incarnate into the three-dimensional material awareness to fulfil three desires: to fully express their gifts and talents; to connect with other souls to make a difference in the world; and to contribute to the well-being of humanity and the planet. The degree to which we fulfil these desires significantly affects our mental and physical well-being.
