A Note From Our Founder
Most organizations similar to Human Energy are dealing with solving environmental problems, social media, AI. There is no one who’s asking the question, “Can we get humans to align?”
Human Energy is developing a network of universities and organizations to study the future of human collective consciousness. Today we have over twenty scientists and professionals working together to look at the impact of these new ideas through scientific papers, research, conferences, and educational programs. And we’re drawing people from all over the world.
We have to start thinking as a collective. There’s collective knowledge. There’s collective wisdom. The good of humanity requires us to come together. This is fundamental for our future.
