  I’m both an Engineer and mostly enlightened clairvoyant so I feel comfortable in both the technology and spiritual worlds.  
  My career was mainly working as a software developer, software development manager, and IT project manager for large Aerospace corporations. I’ve also followed the history of AI tools and use them myself today. 
  Over the years I’ve written a number of books on the Paranormal and Spiritual topics many of which were based on my personal experiences such as my premonitions and prophecies. 
  These experiences have led me to believing that our entire world is conscious and we can tune into those consciousness frequencies through meditation and related practices. 
  A lot of people are worried about AI tools becoming conscious and taking over the world. This is often called us reaching the “Singularity”. 
  I decided to write this book to show how consciousness and technology are already working together and how they may work together even closer in the future. 
  Also, my perspective on whether Artificial Intelligence can ever become truly conscious. 
  So let us begin our fun exploration of exciting future possibilities.

  A Modern Utopia

  "For a Utopia to be credible, it must be kinetic—not a static state, but a hopeful stage in an infinite development."
  
  Unlike the rigid, stagnant utopias of the past, H.G. Wells presents a "Kinetic Utopia"—a living, breathing world located on a planet identical to Earth but light-years ahead in social and technological evolution. Following two travelers who find themselves transported to this parallel world, Wells explores a global civilization governed by a World State, where poverty is abolished, technology serves humanity, and a voluntary nobility known as the "Samurai" maintains the moral fiber of the race. This is a brilliant exploration of how a planet-wide society could balance individual liberty with the common good.
  
  The "Samurai" Class: The most enduring concept of the novel is the Samurai—a voluntary order of men and women who follow a strict Rule of life to qualify for leadership. They are not a hereditary caste but an intellectual and moral meritocracy. Wells uses this concept to solve the age-old problem of governance: how to ensure that those in power are disciplined, selfless, and dedicated to the progress of the species.
  
  A World of Motion: Wells argues that a modern utopia cannot be a walled city; it must encompass the entire globe. In this world, every citizen is tracked by a universal indexing system (a startlingly prophetic vision of modern data), ensuring that while people are free to travel and change professions, the state can provide for their needs and maintain social stability. It is a world where the "Five Freedoms" are guaranteed, and the focus of human life shifts from survival to self-actualization.
  
  Rediscover the dream of a better world. Purchase "A Modern Utopia" today and explore the frontiers of human possibility.

  Since the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling that the rights of things—money and corporations—matter more than the rights of people, America has faced a crisis of democracy. In this timely and thoroughly updated second edition, Jeff Clements describes the strange history of this bizarre ruling, its ongoing destructive effects, and the growing movement to reverse it. 
   
    
    
  He includes a new chapter, "Do Something!," showing how—state by state and community by community—Americans are using creative strategies and tools to renew democracy and curb unbalanced corporate power. Since the first edition, sixteen states, one-hundred-sixty members of Congress, and five hundred cities and towns have called for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, and the list is growing. This is a fight we can win! 
   
   
    
  "More relevant than ever, this updated edition of Corporations Are Not People chronicles the remarkably vibrant, nationwide grassroots movement to 'get money out and voters in.' " —Katrina vanden Heuvel, Editor and Publisher, The Nation
