I appreciate the clarity of the two arcs presented here, but I wonder if the separation between them is as distinct as it appears.
Perhaps there’s another way to see it: the elevation of human consciousness—the deepening recognition of the interconnectedness of all things, whether between capital and its externalized risks, or between humans and non-human life—may be what catalyzes us to see through the illusion of separation embedded in foundational infrastructures like capital.
As systems begin to shift in response and reflect more life-affirming values, they, in turn, reinforce and accelerate the expansion of consciousness. Rather than two arcs moving toward each other from separate trajectories, they spiral together, each fueling the other, in alignment with a deeper, perhaps Divine, path of evolution.
From this perspective, there’s a spiritual awakening happening in both spiritualists and next-generation capitalists. They are, in many ways, one and the same.
