Collective Evolution - With Joe Martino: Recent Episodes
Collective Evolution
Virtually every aspect of our society is crumbling or transitioning – media, technology, consciousness, economies, education, relationships and more.
Old ways of looking at and understanding our world are no longer working. New ways of exploring our world encourage us to look more deeply at why our world is the way it is, and what about us creates it to be this way.
The questions of who we are, why we are here, and what future we truly want to create, are on the table for us to re-approach.
The question of what happens when we die has been around for ages. In this episode Joe explores a prior interview with his close friend Franco DeNicola about his near death and full death experience as we explore what may happen when we die.
As with any conversation that is 'out there' or 'controversial', or that explores something in the realm of mystery or wonder, can we be curious while exploring, and pay attention to the various objections that arise while we listen? If something butts up against our belief systems, what happens in our mind and body? Franco passed away a couple of years after this interview was filmed.

This week I bring the concept of sensemaking to the Twitter Files. We'll explore some thoughts on separating the signal from the noise and critique a discussion around 'trusting' Elon Musk.
It has been rather fascinating watching elements of indie media interpret the Twitter Files and the journalists who have brought them forward, all while the mainstream media virtually blacks out the story.
Back in 2013 there was a sharp rise in the popularity of independent media. An industry once dominated entirely by mainstream voices was now changing at a rapid pace to include an alternative perspective.
There were a handful of brands fuelling what eventually became the end of mainstream media dominance. Eventually, those brands were met with a heavy hand from Big Tech & governments for overthrowing the monopoly on narrative control.
Today we'll talk to Jason Bassler, the founder of The Free Thought Project, one of the brands that helped pave the way for the rise of independent media.
Joe and Arjun Walia chat about using discernment with Elon Musk, Twitter, and his neuralink project. They also discuss The Great Reset and discerning presented solutions on that subject as they related to solutions coming from others trying to make society better. Of course, they dive into a couple big topics around COVID as well.
Joe is joined by nervous system and trauma expert Irene Lyon to talk about wellness, nervous system health, ayahuasca and the missing ingredient in many to wellness.
Unrest is taking place in Brazil following an election. Claims of election fraud once again hit the airwaves as societies polarize in their views to some extent. We also talk the Freedom Convoy, how we might or might not engage in the existing political process and what our future could look like.
The Great Reset (TGR) is touching on a felt intuition many people share: our systems are in deep need of an overhaul. The question is: shouldn't we all have a say over the direction we head?
Within this conversation of a new society is the advancement of technology and how it is re-shaping what's possible. TGR is presenting somewhat of a transhumanistic future. And in this sense people are becoming afraid of technology and where it could lead. But at the same time, technology being embraced in our future seems a necessity to take care of repetitive tasks and give us more time to do what we love. Will our fear of tech hold us back? Do we know how to resist the Great Reset - Or only insult its creators?
We are in a time where complex systems are breaking down without our society, and yet we are looking at these problems with a overly simplistic and reductionist lens that is causing us to fail to recognize what the problems we face actually are.
Engaging the spirit of creating a set of solutions and societal design that is advantageous for all would be key. To do this it’s important we become aware of our bias, ideologies and adopt a more complex problem solving frame as the nature of our systems, humans and nature is all complex.
The word trauma is a tough one. Its meaning can be very different depending on who you talk to, and given the content of what we're going to talk about in today's episode, it's important we define it. This I do in the early minutes of the episode.
In the context I lay out, trauma is a fact of all of our lives. This statement is important to reflect on because our understanding of trauma has updated dramatically over the last 30 years or so, and when looking at our modern world it's hard not to see that trauma will creep in. Yet this knowledge has not made it very far into mainstream medicine nor public consciousness just yet. The good news is, a swell is growing.
What exactly is trauma? What role does trauma play in our lives? How does it affect our relationships, health and the lens through which we see our world? We explore these questions as well as the primary antidotes to shifting our physiology to integrate and process trauma effectively, as well as why this is a key foundational factor to creating a better world.
Is social media re-shaping our brains? Is it gaming us into short attention spans and an inability to think in complexity? The research suggests this is certainly happening. It also suggests it's making us more angry and disconnected from one another.
The good news is there are ways to use social media as a tool without letting it hijack your mind and being.
We seem to be in a constant information war these days. And with that, there appears to be a war on sensemaking. What is sensemaking? Simply, our ability to accurately perceive what is taking place and make meaningful decisions based on what we learn.
It seems now that it is like we are in a dark and chaotic cave, with nothing more than a single match to light our path through a noisy and polluted information landscape. "What is true? How can we even know anymore?" are questions so many of us grapple with.
It's time to get a high powered flashlight! In this episode we'll explore what sensemaking, the conversation of fake news, the rise of censorship and perhaps some ideas on how we can improve this important skill both individually and collectively.
One of the simplest ways to think about the meaning crisis is to ask whether humanity is going through a moment where our experience of life feels increasingly less relevant and meaningful. Do we feel withdrawn from our world? A sense of disconnection from it and others? Perhaps this is at the root of our mental health crisis' as John Vervaeke suggests. Perhaps there are other biological factors like nervous system dysregulation at play here as well. Regardless, are we experiencing a collective felt sense of meaninglessness?
This is playing out in everything from our relationships to our societal structures. Things are up for re-questioning and re-examination, and while this can be an uncomfortable and awkward place, it can also be a great opportunity.

What is the nature of our reality? What are humans truly capable of and how can we explore this? These are questions I’ve been asking myself since I was a kid. I’ve explored these questions with friends, my own experiences, ancient traditions and science.
Today my guest is Adam Curry. He is an inventor and tech entrepreneur, but most exciting to me, he’s a brilliant mind in the space of consciousness science.
In this episode we discuss consciousness and the nature of our reality. We'll explore the placebo effect and what might be driving it, as well as discuss the prime states of being necessary to explore our deeper potential.
Note: off the top, there was a glitch at the beginning of this episode and we lost a few minutes, but you’ll pick up on a good spot as we get going here.

If you’re feeling the fatigue of navigating the news during COVID you’re not alone. I personally know a lot of peple who feel this way. But given what has happened over the last few years through the decision making of government, is how a good time to stop paying attention? This is a tough question, because in many ways it’s healthy to know when to say enough, but when the stakes are as high as they are now, surely we have to stay in the game no?
My Guests today are Dr Madhava Setty and David Helfrich. Madhava is a physician who has been actively engeged in examining and reporting on COVID related literature since the onset of the pandemic, and David is a lawyer who has been curiously reflecting on the nature of COVID restrictions and their affect on rights, as well as much of COVID literature in general.
We’ll talk about COVID news fatigue, the value of information, some key takeaways we must consider when looking at the COVID era, and as always we’ll get into a deeper set of philosophical and metaphysical questions asking whether COVID has applied an evolutionary pressure for the consciousness of humanity.
In this episode Joe speaks with Jason Quitt, an author who has been studying welnness practices and metaphysics for almost 20 years.
They reflect on some key observations of the COVID era, and then delve into grounded and practical discussions around politics, conspiracy, embracing curiosity, metaphysics, chi gong, and meditation. A wide range of topics that tie together meaningfully.

Joe speaks with Charles Eisenstein in a lighthearted conversation about how our current cultural outlook on COVID-19 is furthering the disconnection of community. They also explore the role of conspiracy in society today and whether it's important to recognize where conspiracy exists and not. Finally, they touch on the meaning and sense-making crisis' we are facing today, and how it's perhaps adding to our division and making it more challenging to recognize what solutions might be valuable to solve the challenges we face at a foundational level.
Charles is an author and speaker who invites humanity to enter into a 'new story' in order to create the change we know is possible in our world.
Many people are talking about the upcoming Great Conjunction, an astrological event involving the rare aligning of Saturn and Jupiter on Dec 21st.
Joe sits down with astrologer Carmen DiLuccio to get some insight into what's going on and why so many believe something "big" is going to happen.
The Conspirituality podcast has emerged during a time where it is very difficult to make sense of the world, and given the nature of our chaotic time and the lack of answers, people have turned to the exploration of conspiracy to understand what's going on. The Conspirituality podcast sees this as a dangerous phenomenon and is calling on the wellness community to come to their senses.
But are they right? Are we really to believe there is no such thing as any conspiracy? Joe talks to Dr. Madhava Setty about his recent essay published on Collective Evolution that explores this conversation. It's important to note, no one at The Conspirituality podcast would agree to discuss this on this show.
Joe speaks with innovative entrepreneur Adam Curry about how COVID-19 has affected global consciousness. Has anything been measured with global consciousness devices that tells a story about COVID?
We also dive into an exploration of the true nature of our reality and how this plays on current events and our general evolution of consciousness.

In a time where making sense of what's going on is so difficult. Discerning and critical thinking needed more than ever, is it truly possible for the individual to figure out what's going on and know how we should change or adjust as a society? Possibly. But perhaps it's in community, collective intelligence and collective sense-making that we will find our answers.
This monologue explores these ideas.
Joe sits down with Foster and Kimberly to discuss their journey in making Thrive 2, and some of the key concepts from the film.
Watch Thrive 2: This Is What It Takes - collective-evolution.com/a/watchthrive
Can we find common ground between those who feel detracted from politics and don't want to vote, and those who don't vote because they feel there is a shadow government? Can we find common ground with those two groups and those who still support the system as well?
How can we truly address the challenges of our systems today?
I wanted to share a bit about my personal experience from the beginning of COVID until now with regards to information and how polarized things have become. It all began with this David Icke interview in many ways, but really I've noticed it's the online community that have become most intense with the ideas I want to share here.
Joe has a discussion with Dr. Madhava Setty, a physician, engineer, and author, about the unanswered questions around 9/11 and how the event has brought about deep questioning amongst people when it comes to how our world functions.
In a discussion with Marc Angelo Coppola we explore why is it that we are so obsessed with having more? Why is it that when our modern lifestyles contribute to stress, anxiety and panic, we simply think meditating or yoga will solve the problem? Are we trying to bandaid over societal structures that don't serve us any longer? Are we trying to meditate enough so we can stay on the hamster wheel longer? This is a discussion that explores what life can be like beyond the ideas of how we currently live today.
What do transhumanism, AI, near death experiences and our current events have in common? Consciousness. They all stem from what level of consciousness we are creating these things out of. We explore this topic with neuroscientist, author and activist Dr. Mario Beauregard.
Has humanity had many instances prior to right now for a mass awakening to how our world truly functions? Have we ignored those previous events? Have you asked yourself what you want your world to truly look like?
