Home of One,
a modern take on metaphysics and pragmatic conscious development
I was born into a materialist and atheist environment and lived non-consciously for decades. In 2008 I experienced the simultaneous event of new life and death. It stretched me out between the farthest extremes of Earthly experience, and tore apart what I considered to be ‘me’. What followed was a long and stumbling journey into consciousness where I had to surrender to a process that led to insights far greater and stranger than anything I could have ever imagined. My journey is about overcoming unbearable loss and resolving trauma by making it conscious and using it as a catalyst for growth. At the end of my journey I found only silence. A simple ‘I am’, followed by nothing and everything.
In 2024 I changed my last name to Aurum to reflect this shift in consciousness. I’ve chosen to dedicate the remaining years of this life to help develop consciousness on a larger scale. Before this I worked as an entrepreneur within tech and climate (last name Ferro). I had the pleasure of experiencing everything from bankruptcy to exit to IPO, while learning how to build organizations around ideas that sought to create change.
My frustration with society’s inability to counter climate change, despite having both the knowledge and the resources, led me to conclude that the climate crisis, and indeed the larger meta crisis it is part of, is a symptom of underdeveloped human consciousness – which in turn is caused by our materialist belief system. We don’t just have consciousness, we are consciousness. This common misunderstanding is at the root of the biggest threats facing our planet today. Ignoring our fundamental nature and continuing to live non-consciously causes unnecessary suffering for individuals and leads to escalating disaster for our global society. And, in contrast, understanding and embracing our true nature as consciousness can reimagine, reformulate, and reenchant human existence at every conceivable level, leading to a new Earth and humanity.
What a time to be alive!
“I see the escalating metacrisis as a symptom of under-developed human consciousness. We need to upgrade our cultural operating system to reflect all of reality. The most important things are not things at all: Consciousness is fundamental.”
The only authority I claim is that of individual consciousness. Please use what you can from my writing and projects, and simply leave the rest.
