The Race Between Technology and Consciousness
What is the race between technology and consciousness? In this episode of Science of Superpowers, host Tonya Dawn Recla and guest Amit Rathore sit together to discuss the merging of technology into our conscious spaces. Amit is behind the scenes, and many of these massive movements are towards this connecting place. He is a 41-year-old serial entrepreneur and angel investor based in San Mateo, California, and has specialized in the AI, media, commerce, and FinTech verticals since 2003. He is the creator of AwakeVC, a private equity holding company focused on supporting 10 million new technology enterprises globally to create 100 million employment. His superpower is consciousness — how he connects everything to everything. Tune in to run and learn in the race between technology and consciousness.
Tonya Dawn Recla:
Hello everyone and thank you for joining us again here at the Science of Superpowers. I love that you join us here and that you’re letting this information fill you and expand your mind and think of new things. Today’s conversation is for sure going to do that. Because we’re going to do talk today all about the race between technology and consciousness. This comes from, I know you’ve heard me say this, that the company I predict, right, and it wasn’t my prediction, I heard it come out of my mouth years ago that the companies of the future will have to be able to stay ahead of both technology and consciousness or at least keep up with them. It was interesting when I heard that come out of my mouth, as it often is because it wasn’t something I had really thought about.
But it makes sense and I know as we explore more and more of these subtle spaces and then look at how that marries up with the tech space, the virtual space, it’s super fascinating what’s going on. There’s no real clear delineation anymore between the pure tech and the purely conscious because we’re in both. We use the tech and therefore we bring that sort of organic state, that energetic state into it. So it’s really a fascinating thing. I’m sure we don’t even know half of it yet, right? We’re unfolding all of this as stuff’s getting created.
Today’s guest on a show is quite remarkable. Amit Rathore, he’s behind the scenes and a lot of these massive movements towards this sort of connecting place. How do we make the experience more? I’m putting words in his mouth, this is sort of my interpretation of his brilliance is like, how do we bring all these worlds together? How do we create spaces that more closely mirror or mimic our natural state, how we want to connect, and how we’re drawn to connect.Â
As a founder of Awake VC, that’s exactly what he’s doing. It’s a super fascinating project. I don’t want to steal his thunder with it, but imagine the brilliance behind being able to create in the tech space these worlds that I know for a lot of us in the consciousness space, tend to shy away from some tech spaces, because there seems to be a little bit of a frequency differential there for us. So when we can start merging those in ways that feel a lot more holistic and real for us, something magical occurs. So to me, that’s the space that he really plays in. I’m excited about this conversation today. Please join me in welcoming you to the show Amit. Welcome, and thanks for joining us.
Amit Rathore:
Thank you for having me, Tonya. Really excited to be here and talk about this.
Tonya Dawn Recla:
Awesome. Well, we are so excited to have you. We’ll jump right in with our first question. What are your superpowers and how do you use them for good?
Amit Rathore:
I think I might have answered that question in Gold only a few years ago, but today I can only say that my superpower is to see things clearly. I’m the most abstract human being there is because something happened to me a few years ago, and it’s the reason why I called my company Awake. We can go into all of that, but I know what reality is because all the things that confuse us and make us believe that reality is this and that and so many other things, all that vanished and what was left was consciousness.Â
We are able to be what we are. We are able to connect everything to everything, which is what consciousness is. It is the connectedness that we all really are. So that’s what I think my superpower is, to be able to clearly point out what life is and what people are and what I am and my own place in the world and how technology needs to service humanity and not human beings plugged into technology. How can we flip that switch and how can we unleash the absolutely limitless human potential by realizing the truth? That is what my superpower is.
Tonya Dawn Recla:
Brilliant. Well, and to be the most abstract person, that’s a pretty bold claim, and it speaks to sort of the worlds you’re willing to play in. I appreciate that about you. We’re going to take a quick break here because I have lots of questions about that that I want to explore and dive into, now the least of which is that frequency differential we were speaking of or I had mentioned earlier. So before we cut to the break, Amit, where can people go to find out more about you?
Amit Rathore:
One place is Awake VC, which is mostly work-related stuff. Although there’s a lot of philosophy there too because it’s all one integrated universe. So Awake VC is one place. Another place where you can learn about this other thing I just talked about, this notion of awakening to what one is and realizing what one is at Irealization.com, which is what I’m hoping will eventually actually become the books that are being created there.
Tonya Dawn Recla:
Brilliant. Beautiful. Thank you for that. Before we cut to the break, folks, you know the drill, you can go to superpowerexperts.com. If you’re interested in our programs, if you’re ready for that personal power-intensive and you want to dive into it and really get clear on how to develop that energetic congruence within yourself, how to activate your creative energy field, all kinds of fun superpower stuff over there.
