Fourth-Level Science in the Evolutionary Arc of Humanity
Fourth-Level Science remains in its infancy. Like many emerging frameworks, it is less a finished structure than an evolving attempt to describe dimensions of human experience that may be becoming increasingly visible within contemporary life. The language surrounding what might be called fourth-level reality entered modern discourse through the work of Barbara Ann Brennan, whose efforts to articulate expanded perceptual domains invited a broader conversation about the possi

Positioning Fourth-Level Science: Foundations, Context, and Direction
I recently commenced the Diploma of Counselling with a clear intention: to strengthen the professional frameworks required to support what I have been developing as Fourth-Level Counselling. If this emerging area is to serve people responsibly, it must rest upon sound ethical practice, clinical literacy, and disciplined care. Vision alone is never enough; structure is what allows new ideas to mature into viable fields of practice. Fourth-Level Counselling draws its conceptual

Laying the Foundations for Fourth-Level Counselling
I commenced the Diploma of Counselling at Nirimba TAFE this week, a step that marks both a professional commitment and an intellectual consolidation. For some time, my work has explored the emerging intersection between psychology, lived experience, and what I have described as Fourth-Level Science: a developing framework for understanding forms of human perception and meaning-making that sit just beyond the boundaries of conventional models.

Scarcity has shaped not only how we distribute resources, but how we understand security, progress, and even human nature itself. Competition became rational because survival demanded it, and the struggle for advantage was interpret

The World Gone Mad
Something is deeply broken. For years we were told that the internet would democratise opportunity — that anyone with insight, creativity, or determination could build an audience and find their people. Publish a book. Start a blog. Share your ideas. The world would listen. I believed this. So I did the work. I wrote the books — four of them. I published over a dozen eBooks. I built more than six websites. I wrote over 200 blog posts exploring mental health, lived experience,

Abundance as a Cosmic Prerequisite
Abundance is often framed as the next step in human development—an economic upgrade, a social reform, or a long-overdue correction to inequality. But this framing is far too small. Abundance is not merely the next chapter in human history. It is the minimum condition required for humanity to mature into its wider role in the universe.nIf humanity has a cosmic destiny at all, it will not be fulfilled through conquest, acceleration, or technological cleverness alone. It will

To Build Up or to Tariff? Chinese and US Approaches to International Development
A Civilisational Choice in an Age of Expanding Capability Humanity is entering a structural transition — one that will determine whether the 21st century becomes an era of shared advancement or accelerating fragmentation. This is not simply a contest of trade policy; it is a question about the architecture of the future world. Two developmental instincts are becoming increasingly visible across the global landscape. One seeks to expand capability beyond national borders throu
