For this conversation, Aviv Shahar brought together Sarah McCrum and Jeff Vander Clute to explore what can be realized at this threshold moment. Jeff is an author, mentor, and “coach from the future”, and Sarah is an energy master, author, educator, and innovator.

Two strong themes emerge throughout the dialogue: breakdown and breakthrough.

In the breakdown, we see the existential threat to many of the structures we have long taken for granted: the health of the planet; global economic instability; the crumbling façade of governments and institutions meant to serve us; the headlong rush toward silicon-based human evolution; and an inner reckoning in which each of us is called to overcome limiting polarities, face our fears, and find common ground. As Sarah notes, “If ever there was a time to evolve quickly, it’s now.”

In the breakthrough, we witness people embracing new ways of being and becoming, turning to innate capabilities or discovering new capacities in the moment. Whether by slowing down and listening to our internal guidance, facing issues long avoided, working in collectives, or responding to a deep yearning for something better, we find ourselves at the edge of what is newly possible.

What is clear is that the decisions and efforts we make today can ease the road ahead and bring us closer to our collective future, one in which what now seems unimaginable suddenly becomes possible as we enter an age of miracles.

Highlights from the conversation:

• We are experiencing three simultaneous processes: the end of an epoch, the emergence of a new one, and the challenge of navigating the liminal space in between.
• Existential threat is visible everywhere; we are being called to move beyond polarities into multiplicity and wholeness.
• This is the time to discover what we truly value, what we choose to energize, and how we can contribute.
• In moments of uncertainty, the task is not to rush toward resolution but to stay with it and ask for inner guidance, applying our deeper GPS.
• As humans, we must remember who and what we are.
