Signs of our new world birthing and emerging with new life.
When I was pregnant, my water broke and initiated my labor process. My pregnancy was “breaking down” and was definitely ending. From another view, I was breaking open because new life—my son—was entering this world, and IT WAS TIME!
As I see it, collectively and culturally we’re in a similar process. We’re pregnant, and we’re breaking down and breaking open because we’re birthing and our new world is emerging. IT’S TIME!
And, it’s a shift in our consciousness, not just in our physical/material experience.
Here are some signs of that shift I’ve come across recently. They’re not as specific as the examples I included in my e-book Hiding In Plain Sight: Evidence of Our Life-Aligned, Regenerative Culture Emerging.
These are signs at the metalevel--what I see as the energetic architecture and infrastructure required for us to birth and midwife our new world into being.
Two writers attending the 20th Clinton Global Initiative in Sept. 2025, an annual gathering that brings together leaders from philanthropy, business, governments, and nonprofits, gave this report:
“The old model of rich countries writing cheques and calling the shots is dead. The new one is messier, slower, harder to celebrate. But it’s being built by the people who actually have to live with it. And that might be what finally makes it work. . . .
“Everything was changing — the old models, the old certainties, the old ways of moving money and measuring impact. It felt like witnessing a page turning in real time, suspended between the end of one global chapter and the beginning of the next. . . .
“. . . as shocking as the cuts are, the old model was broken. It was designed and controlled by wealthy donor countries, not by the people receiving it. The result was a bureaucratic nightmare . . .
“The system did need to change - but it had happened far quicker and more cruelly than anyone expected. . . . the dominant topic . . . was money. Not how to get more of it, but what replaces it when it’s gone. One concept that kept showing up: innovative financing. . .
(Emphasis mine)
“ . . . you realized that the people closest to the problems had already figured out the solutions, and were just waiting for everyone else to catch up. . . The people on the frontlines aren’t panicking. They’ve been dealing with ‘unprecedented crisis’ for years.
“They’ve already figured out that change doesn’t come from outsiders parachuting in with five-year plans and brand new equipment. It comes from training people properly, trusting them to do the work, and staying long enough to see it through. And they weren’t scaling back. In fact, a lot of projects were going bigger and bolder.” Please see the article for many inspiring, specific, new-paradigm examples.
In his new book John Fullerton says, “Seeing only a polycrisis misses the point. It is a Meta-crisis, rooted in how we think. We need to learn to think differently, or we will fail to adequately respond to the polycrisis.” He identifies how the dysfunctions our current economic system are rooted in the logic of the machine.
In his Substack article “The Meta-Crisis: Rooted in the Logic of the Machine” he writes,
“We can therefore summarize the logic of the machine applied to human organization as follows: Myth of separation (parts not wholes) + Desire for control (superiority over relational) = Violence. William Blake . . . warned us of the limitations of Newtonian logic in which we think we can “measure what matters” in order to control the outcome.”
Julie Krull is catalyzing and stewarding “Catapult: A Planetary Rite of Passage through five portals from 9/9 to 1/1". In a time of global unraveling, we are being called—not to fix the old, but to remember the new is already seeded within us.
The Five Portals: Each portal is a collective choice point—an energetic initiation echoing through the field of humanity. Together, they form a sacred arc of remembrance, coherence, and emergence:
9/9: The choice to release
10/10: The choice to remember
11/11: The choice to embody
12/12: The choice to align
1/1: The choice to emerge
In COHERENCE: The Evolutionary Technology of the Heart she writes:
“Coherence is not merely a technique — it is a lens through which reality reorganizes itself. It’s a leadership superpower when embodied and it’s the evolutionary threshold we are now being asked to cross. (Emphasis mine)
“Personal Coherence: The Inner Architecture of Evolution
“The quality of our leadership is the quality of our frequency.
“To embody is to entrain the field.
“To entrain the field is to shift reality.
“Social Coherence: The Invisible Power of We
“We do not create belonging through words.
“We create belonging through frequency.
“Coherence is the architecture of a new civilization.
“Global Coherence: The Planetary Field We’re All Feeding
“When we are in coherence, our hearts resonate in the same frequency range as the Earth’s magnetic field. When a group of people are in coherence together, this effect is magnified.
“We are living in an era where our inner state is planetary service.
“Where Practice Becomes Planetary
“The Connection Field is not just a community. It is a global coherence engine.
“It is the world’s premier living laboratory of coherence practice and cultivation. . . .
“This community is cultivating the language, capacity, and embodiment of coherence at scale.
“The Connection Field is where coherence becomes culture.”
Also see her article Impact Isn’t a Metric. It’s a Frequency: Why impact in the Unitive Age is measured by presence, not performance.
Here are a few excerpts:
“ROI is outdated. Welcome to RFI.
“Return on Investment made sense in a world driven by extraction, acceleration, and egoic gain. But for those of us tracking a new evolutionary arc — where love is currency, coherence is capital, and integrity is the new influence — there’s a new compass:
Return on Frequency and Intention.
“Let’s be clear — this shift doesn’t reject results. It redefines them. It doesn’t ignore structure. It infuses it with soul.
“We’re not just asking what you produce — we’re asking what you radiate. This is a shift from output to emanation, from goals to guidance, from outer hustle to inner harmony.
“Because:
Frequency is your energetic signature — the invisible architecture of your leadership.
Intention is your north star — an inner alignment to purpose beyond persona.
Resonance is your true reach — it’s how the universe amplifies your authenticity.
“Your alignment is more potent than any funnel.
“Your coherence is more effective than any strategy.
“Your resonance creates ripples that metrics will never measure.
“Think about it:
A single meeting held in coherence can unlock more innovation than a month of brainstorming in burnout.
A heart-centered decision — rooted in soul alignment — can redirect the future of an entire organization.
A clear intention, held with love and integrity, can ripple into unseen systems and re-pattern outcomes across timelines.
“We are no longer living in a Newtonian world. This is a quantum ecosystem of becoming.
“This is the frequency era.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These are all examples of Life continually creating and expressing itself.
We’re in a time of breaking the spell of our old narratives, stories and structures that we’ve created (often unconsciously) over millennia and that have held us “locked in place”. It’s a time of shifting our consciousness and opening to new life.
It is not, and can’t be:
linear,
planned,
designed,
organized,
implemented,
managed, and
controlled.
It is about moving:
from productivity, performance, and perfection
to authenticity, alignment, and aliveness.
This shift is about seeing, recognizing, acknowledging, appreciating, and applying a new (to us) paradigm, with its new narratives, principles, structures, and stories, in our culture and lives. No small thing! This is a birth, and not a small transformation!
As Arundhati Roy wrote:
“Another world is not only possible, she is on her way.
On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.”
This is Part 1 of (at least) three parts. Part 2 will be posted by Mon. Dec. 8th and the following part(s) a few days after that.
I know these examples are just the tip of the iceberg, and new ones show up on almost a daily basis. I’d love to hear about others you’re aware of!
