The Future Starts with Us | Jeffrey Dunne, Ph.D.
What if the future isn’t something that happens to us—but something we’re already helping to write?
This week’s conversation explores how synchronicity, self-awareness, and human connection may be shaping the next chapter of our collective story.
In this week’s episode of Connecting with Coincidence, Dr. Bernard Beitman is joined by Jeffrey Dunne, President of the International Consciousness Research Laboratories.
Together they explore how synchronicity acts like a creative partner—offering hints, nudges, and improbable alignments that help illuminate the choices before us. Jeff describes life as a kind of unfolding narrative, complete with foreshadowing and open plotlines, where self-awareness becomes the key to editing the future in real time.
Their conversation dives into the power of interpretation, why connection might be the engine of humanity’s next evolution, and how each of us participates in crafting the emerging myth of our species. It’s a thoughtful, hopeful look at how consciousness and coincidence weave together to shape what comes next.
