The Future of Energetics | An Analysis of Emerging Trends
This build provides insightful commentary on the rapidly changing landscape of technology, economics, and spirituality. Seven Bomar, founder of the Secret Energy ecosystem, delivers a thoughtful presentation exploring interconnected themes that will shape our collective path forward.
We begin by establishing the discussion's focus on "financial sovereignty," or gaining control over one's economic circumstances. We note that past generations endured repetitive cycles of work and dependence, but now we must empower future lineages through self-sufficiency. This underscores the talk's emphasis on cultivating independence through education and cooperation.
Several concepts are introduced to illustrate historical shifts in what constitutes "money" and social power. We explain how different eras aligned with dominant forms of wealth, from cattle to gold to oil. This provides context for understanding the dollar's current ties to petroleum, which face disruption from pandemic-induced decreases in travel.
Technological changes also impact wealth dynamics. Automation eliminates many jobs yet creates new opportunities if properly guided. Cryptocurrency offers control over one's finances but requires savvy navigation of complex systems. Present trends portend a looming "Age of Ether" centered on immaterial forces like communication and collective energy.
Overall, the discussion offers a balanced perspective. While certain entities promote dependency through policies like the criticized "Platinum Plan," cooperative solutions exist. Platforms like Secret Energy and proposals for "Automated Wealth" can empower communities through connection, skills-sharing, and passive income generation. We advocate spiritual and financial sovereignty through mutual aid instead of competition or passivity.
This even-handed overview unpacks dense topics through real-world examples and historical analysis. Students would gain nuanced insight into both challenges and opportunities inherent in an era of rapid change. Critical thinking is encouraged on how emerging technologies may impact social structures and what collective paths lead to greater well-being.

Core Concepts
Spiritual Sovereignty
Spiritual sovereignty refers to gaining control over one's own spiritual and energetic circumstances by removing external dependencies and affiliations. It is described as the most important form of sovereignty to achieve first on a metaphysical level before pursuing other forms. Spiritual sovereignty involves recognizing that many humans have connected their sense of power and identity to invisible, external forces rather than cultivating discernment and preference from within.
Financial Sovereignty
Financial sovereignty expands the concept of sovereignty to include gaining authority over one's economic circumstances and resources. It aims to empower lineages for generations to come by establishing self-sufficiency and independence from needing to constantly work, beg, or protest for others' benefit. Financial sovereignty allows taking responsibility for sustaining oneself and family through stable foundations.
Historical Shifts in Dominant Forms of Wealth
Different eras of human civilization have aligned with and been governed by the dominant form of wealth during that time. Long ago, wealth correlated with cattle ownership, then transitioned to gold and metalworking skills, followed by an age when oil and petroleum dominated geopolitics and industry. Understanding these historical shifts provides important context for analyzing current economic dynamics and transitions.
The Petrodollar System
The US dollar is currently backed and strengthened by global oil markets since the 1970s. Petrodollars must be used to purchase oil internationally. This petrodollar system has concentrated power in the hands of certain entities for decades but now faces disruption from decreased oil consumption during the 2020s pandemic, altering the global energy landscape.
The Impact of Automation
Rapid automation has eliminated many jobs yet also creates new opportunities if properly guided. On one hand, automation frees up time that could be invested in self-betterment. However, it also threatens to further entrench systems of dependency if left unchecked. Automation requires navigating its societal implications carefully through cooperation.
Cryptocurrency as a Tool for Individual Sovereignty
Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin offer individuals control over their own money and ability to become their own bank. However, they also require learning complex financial systems. When properly understood, cryptocurrencies empower users to opt out of traditional systems and move wealth in new ways across borders. Individual sovereignty means managing one's own digital assets intelligently.
The Emerging "Age of Ether"
Present trends indicate a coming shift towards non-physical, immaterial forces centered around communication, collective energy, and our bioenergetic fields. Developments in computing, AI, and technologies that interface with human consciousness portend profound changes to how information and value are transmitted. This "Age of Ether" has both risks and opportunities for evolution.
Platforms for Connection and Cooperation
Non-competitive platforms like Secret Energy are proposed as solutions emphasizing connection between like-minded communities. They aim to cultivate cooperation through mutual aid networks, skills-sharing, and passive income generation between users. Such platforms empower individuals while strengthening the collective whole.
Systems of Control Versus Empowerment
Certain entities promote external dependency and disempowerment through policies disguising control as assistance. In contrast, cooperative solutions exist that place power in the hands of individuals and groups. Critical thinking is needed to discern between systems meant to enslave versus elevate humanity.
Our Collective Path Forward
Rapid changes require evaluating emerging technologies' societal impacts and determining what paths truly serve greater well-being. Individual empowerment and upliftment of one another presents the most ethical "Automated Wealth" through wisdom, non-violence and unity. Our future remains unwritten.

In the discussion, it refers to emerging non-physical, immaterial forces centered around communication, collective energy, and bioenergetic fields.
Lamaze - A method of childbirth emphasizing natural childbirth and the active participation of fathers. In the discussion, it is used metaphorically to represent remaining calm and breathing through difficulties.
Hash Power - The total processing power used for validating blockchain transactions and securing the network. In the context of cryptocurrency, it refers to the computational resources and electricity required to operate decentralized networks.
API - An application programming interface is a connection between computers or between computer components/systems. In the discussion, it refers to an upgrade to banking infrastructure allowing faster digital money transfers.
