Overview:

🎯 Vision & Mission

A Movement for Global Transformation

The team aligned around launching the New Dawn Institute on December 20, 2025 as a transformative campaign merging indigenous wisdom with scientific insights. This isn't just another retreat center—it's a movement designed to influence a global cultural shift and help humanity navigate into a new era.

Bridging Two Worlds

Nando and Brian emphasized the unique positioning: bringing together indigenous elders' teachings (particularly from Wixárika and Toltec traditions) with scientific perspectives from advisors like Susan Manowicz (PhD candidate at MIT studying solar flares) and Professor Rudy Shield. The goal? Create a credible, compelling narrative that bridges ancient wisdom with cutting-edge astrophysics.

The Long Game: 2025-2031

The initiative targets a significant window ending around 2030-2031 to align with the start of a new 26,000-year cycle as described by the elders. Elder Mindahi identifies May 3, 2026 as the beginning of this cosmic shift, while other elders suggest it could extend to 2030—making this a time-sensitive but spacious endeavor.

From Digital to Physical

The strategy flows beautifully: start with online courses to generate funding for elder communities, then funnel participants into immersive in-person retreats at the physical center (to be managed by Nando in places like Wirikuta). It's a hybrid model that honors both accessibility and the irreplaceable value of direct transmission.

🛠️ Technical Architecture & Platform Strategy

The Perfect Stack

James outlined a sophisticated yet flexible tech foundation built on Webflow + Airtable + Whale Sync. This isn't your typical website setup—it's a dynamic, living platform that can evolve as the vision expands.

Key Components:

  • Webflow as the versatile front-end: rapid development, fully customizable, rich media support, robust CMS for courses and events
  • Airtable as the intelligent backend: easy-to-manage database for content, contacts, courses, and resources
  • Whale Sync for real-time synchronization: update in Airtable, see it live on the site instantly
  • Advanced possibilities: Interactive maps (Mapbox), 3D visualizations, sacred geometry animations
Beyond Basic Online Courses

The architecture supports next-generation learning experiences through N8N automations and AI integration:

  • Interactive, call-and-response experiences
  • Personalized learning pathways using AI agents
  • Smart matching systems for participants and groups
  • Digital "blessings" and engagement tools (imagine: email capture with a traditional water blessing from Mindahi)
Keep It Simple, Build Powerfully

James emphasized starting with a solid foundation and iterating creatively—no need to overcomplicate initially, but build with future expansion in mind. The tools are there to grow into advanced features as needs emerge.

📅 Launch Timeline & Immediate Next Steps

December 20th Target 🎯

The team committed to launching a functional landing page by December 20, 2025—aligned with the beginning of the new cycle for 2026. This creates a digital presence to attract funders, participants, and collaborators right as the cosmic timing aligns.

The Landing Page Vision

Not just informational—it needs to be a "work of art" and a genuine portal. The team wants to avoid generic retreat website vibes or overly New Age aesthetics. Instead, they're aiming for something that:

  • Resonates deeply with visitors, funders, AND the elders themselves
  • Uses vector equilibrium geometry and indigenous art motifs to symbolize the science-tradition fusion
  • Feels immersive and multidimensional from first click
  • Clearly communicates the mission with visible placeholders for future content expansion
Proposal & Examples

James offered to create a proposal outlining costs and scope tiers, plus share examples from similar consciousness-focused projects:

  • Consciousness and Healing Institute (CHI): $32,000-68,000 budget range (larger reference project) Proposal
  • Flourish Project: Ecological wellbeing framework (smaller reference project) Proposal

These will give context for what's possible at different investment levels.

📚 Content Development & Collaboration

Sharing Resources

Brian committed to sharing key materials with James:

  • The pitch deck for the New Dawn Institute ✅
  • Course materials from Elder Mindahi (already completed course)
  • New Dawn overview folder with foundational content
  • Video guidelines from collaborations with organizations like Humanity Institute
Smart Integrations, Not Reinvention

Nando expressed openness to linking courses hosted on other platforms rather than rebuilding everything from scratch. If quality content already exists elsewhere, why not connect to it? This interoperability mindset sets up future synergies.

Cross-Project Synergy

The team discussed potential collaboration with the Consciousness and Healing Hub (where James is also working) to create shared backend infrastructure. Imagine: taking a course on New Dawn Institute but accessing a unified learning ecosystem that includes multiple aligned organizations. More efficient, more coherent, stronger network effects.

🌐 The Bigger Picture: HALOS Framework

Beyond Siloed Websites

Brian introduced the HALOS framework as a meta-structure for interoperability—a "universal operating system for humanity" that enables different projects, organizations, and learning platforms to function as one coherent ecosystem rather than isolated islands.

The Vision: Internet of Beings

HALOS aims to create what Brian calls an "Internet of Beings"—a system that mimics natural telepathic and heart-based connections, enabling deep alignment across global communities. Key principles:

  • AI-driven personalization integrated from the ground up (working with Jesse Grace and Grace Intelligence)
  • Reciprocal learning: individuals learn from the universal OS, and their insights feed back into the collective
  • Post-money economy infrastructure: supporting eco-villages and aligned networks through coherent collective intelligence
  • 12-around-1 architecture: reflecting the genius and light in everyone, not owned by any one person or org
Cosmic Geometry Meets Indigenous Wisdom

Brian emphasized using vector equilibrium as both a design element and a structural principle—connecting it to patterns he's seen in Berber and Islamic architecture, in medicine journeys, and in the 12-loop lotus of life creating an isotropic matrix. This isn't decoration; it's core to the system's logic.

The Invitation

Brian formally invited both James and Nando to co-found and co-steward HALOS, with flexibility around levels of engagement based on capacity and resonance.

💎 Cultural Positioning & Authenticity

Not Woo, Not Cosplay—Real

The team was clear: this needs to feel substantive and credible, not New Age window dressing. The science component (solar flares, astrophysics, traditional ecological knowledge) isn't decoration—it's fundamental to the legitimacy and power of the message.

Why This Matters Now

Nando shared he's transitioning from his previous NGO work to focus fully on New Dawn, sensing the civilizational importance of this moment. His friend with cancer, his teaching engagement in France—all reinforcing that people are struggling and need this message of hope and possibility.

Susan Manowicz (MIT PhD candidate) told Nando they need to get their conversations about what's happening cosmically out to the public ASAP—people are confused about the solar activity, Schumann resonance changes, and larger shifts underway.

Driven by Compassion

Brian articulated the core motivation beautifully: "We literally have the know-how and the motivation and the ability to expedite the alleviation of suffering." This is all driven by the deepest compassion imaginable, not just cool concepts or clever tech.

Meeting Transcript

00:00:01

James Redenbaugh: That's right.

00:00:02

Nando Austin: Congratulations, brother. That's amazing.

00:00:06

James Redenbaugh: Thanks.

00:00:09

Nando Austin: There it is.

00:00:10

James Redenbaugh: My focus. There. Now it'll focus.

00:00:15

Nando Austin: There it is.

00:00:17

James Redenbaugh: There you go. Slow focus. That's okay.

00:00:23

Brian Russo: I see it.

00:00:24

Nando Austin: Beautiful, man. Congratulations.

00:00:26

James Redenbaugh: Thank you.

00:00:29

Brian Russo: Oh.

00:00:32

Nando Austin: Now, Brian said he was in the waiting room. I don't know if he's still there or if he left.

00:00:37

James Redenbaugh: He left and he came back.

00:00:41

Brian Russo: Here.

00:00:44

Nando Austin: Okay, great. How's life, man? How are you doing over there?

00:00:48

James Redenbaugh: It's good. I love life. Been real busy helping my mom move out of her property, but we just finished that the other day and coming back to work mode now. Somehow have a lot of focus and energy for that, so that's good. But I'm, like, behind on a million things, so. Running around getting things done.

00:01:19

Nando Austin: The man himself.

00:01:21

James Redenbaugh: Hey, Brian.

00:01:22

Brian Russo: Okay, the three. The three amigos back together here.

00:01:27

James Redenbaugh: Here we are back in the temple.

00:01:30

Nando Austin: That's right.

00:01:33

Brian Russo: So, you know, I want to be respectful of both of your guys's time. Funnily enough, I'm here at the RMV buying my car, but you got to make room for life, right? So the overview of this, James, is that we're super excited to work with you on the website and also extend the invitation for any degree of involvement that your very busy schedule could potentially afford. One aspect I'd bring into that is the overall view of the New Dawn Institute, which is really bringing this idea of the New dawn into the field. So you've already kind of seen the overview document and things like that, but we think that is one of those attractors. It's one of those, you know, it moves the dial, I think, of getting the New dawn into people's lexicon. People have heard of the eagle and condor, and New dawn is certainly an extension of that, but in a much bigger way. This is what we're on the precipice of. And there's this real feeling of the New dawn coming in 2026. So it has this very much of a. This is a very tractionable campaign. It's a very big movement with the goal of obviously being able to buy a center that Fernando can run and be able to bring weraka elders and elders that are told tech down to. To be able to obviously fulfill the goal of the mission. Right, is to help bring balance to the world and help everybody to achieve our collective destiny. So it's a pretty big project, but that's sort of the overview as I see it. And I just talked to angel recently, and he's excited to collaborate as well. And potentially Michael. So it's definitely some cosmic orderings going on with it and we're just excited to chat with you. And you know, Nando, if there's anything you'd like to add.

00:03:16

Nando Austin: Yeah, you said very well. I think the only thing I would add is we want to do also online courses for a lot of these elders that want to share their wisdom and educate and also bring some funds into their communities. And eventually from a bunch of those online courses, funnel people to have in person experiences. Right. So that they can come down to Matlan or in other places so that they meet the elders. And we do a week retreat or a week long or however long. And as Brian said, this is so important because I mean I just let go of my NGO last weekend. I feel really good because then I can really focus on this, which is the most important, I guess civilization situation going on for not only humans, this planet, this solar system, this quadrant of the galaxy. Like it's really important that we share it. And just to put it in a really high note, Susan Manowicz, who was with us at the Sunray Institute and Professor Rudy Shield both want to serve as advisors for us and not only with the indigenous perspective, but with the scientific academic perspective of what we're going through as an astrophysical rock on this galaxy. So it's really cool times.

00:04:32

James Redenbaugh: Awesome.

00:04:35

Brian Russo: Well, yeah, for sure.

00:04:39

James Redenbaugh: Just when I thought I'd never want to do an online course again, I realized I would love to do an online course with some Veronica Elders or Toltec wisdom keepers. That sounds amazing. And yeah, what a portal it can be for folks to get a taste and then of course come together in person, which is irreplaceable online. But, but the eagle and the Condor need to be flying in the digital spheres as well. And that's what I'm here for and happy to be digital shaman. And yeah, don't know too much about this yet, but you know, I feel the vibe of it and it sounds great, sounds really cool.

00:05:32

Brian Russo: Love it. So obviously I just heard you talking to Nando, how busy you are and we know and you know, I think that any type of involvement in this is always open ended and is always kind of what you can do. Obviously there's some immediacy on our end of wanting to kind of get that website shell up and at the same time leave ourselves open for what platform, you know, you build on and tell us a little bit about, you know, your approach so that we can have that potentiality for online courses if we want, when we want.

00:06:06

James Redenbaugh: Yeah. So let me tell you a bit about the tools that we are. I say the tools I love, the tools I've really fallen in love with using after spending many years testing thousands of tools. I feel like we're always honing in on our suite, our stack. And webflow is very much the backbone or the surface because it's an incredibly versatile site builder, page builder that allows us to integrate with so many different things. We can build fast in webflow, we can use templates if we need to, but we can also do really custom stuff and sky's the limit kind of stuff with webflow. And it has a really robust CMS system that makes all kinds of functionalities possible, especially when it comes to online course management or event creation or resource libraries, things like that. And so these days, almost every project we're doing, we also pair with airtable as a database manager because Airtable is such a versatile, easy to use database that is also super customizable and makes it easy for clients and team members to just get in there and see libraries of content or courses or contacts. And we can use it in different ways that are both publicly facing and internal. So you know, it can be a CRM with automations built into it can be an email manager, it can.

00:07:59

Brian Russo: Be.

00:08:01

James Redenbaugh: Resource library, it can be the backend of blog posts and course content and things like that. And we sync it with webflow using something called Whale Sync, which makes a one to one connection. So if we're, if you update something in airtable, it's immediately updated live on the website. And that simple backbone alone allows for some really dynamic sites and really cool stuff because you know, the easy to manage, easy to update, easy to import database paired with a front end that we can fully customize means we can present that information in all kinds of beautiful and dynamic ways. If we want to see things on a map, if we want to see things in a circle, if we want to spread them out and have them interactive, you know, I want to get more into three dimensional stuff and things like that. So we use tools to help with that, mapbox, custom integrations. And then just more recently we're getting into more advanced automations using N8N which allows us to integrate AI models in everything that we're doing. So any information that we're processing or signing people up for things, we can run that through N8N. And then this kind of the sky's the limit in Terms of what we can make possible if we want to facilitate a digital experience. Create new kinds of online courses that aren't just like show up on Tuesdays at 2pm for the Zoom call and then check your email for the workbook and download it. It can be a lot more interactive. It can be call and response it. You know, we can use agents, we can embed them in websites, we can tailor things to people, we can match them with each other, we can match them with groups, we can. Brian and I were talking about profiles, you know, and there's all kinds of possibilities and things we haven't even thought of yet. And so that's kind of the background. And you know, in the beginning it's important to not make things too complicated. Keep it simple and move forward powerfully. So there's tools I can bring in to help facilitate conversations around content and just get things moving in Google Docs to see what's going to go on these pages, what are the words, where are we pulling images in? And then we can get into a design space in Figma where we can start to design out how we want it to look, how we want it to feel, what's the mood, what's the brand, things like that. And we can do as much or as little of that as the project necessitates. So we'll do, you know, big projects where we build in lots of, you know, reviews and creative sessions and have a really clear plan and execute it or we can kind of jump into a collaborative space together so long as it's mutually held. We lost Brian, but he's, he'll be asynchronously in the recording here as long as it's mutually held and we're leaning in and we can set a rhythm and see, you know, what did we create this week, what do we want to create next week, who's doing what, how are we teaming up to get it done? So yeah, Brian, how much of that did you hear before we lost you?

00:12:01

Brian Russo: Yeah, I got a lot of it. So I think obviously there's different tiers, right. And starting at that foundation of having sort of the basic functionalities. But kind of like you said with Web4Flow, if we have that, then we're able to build in all of those aspects later on. So I would definitely, I mean some of the stuff gets really interesting from profiles to agents and things like that, to really make the website an asset, which definitely, I think Nando would agree is definitely a long term strategy of ours. Because we want to be able to use that to attract a lot of leads, get a lot of people to say, take these courses, or do online events and have that translate into physical, you know, events that take place as immersions down in Mexico. So I guess, you know, for the scope of really, obviously you're interested in the project, which is great. So from that sort of basis, what would you kind of say is the next step? Would you come back and say, here is kind of either a contract or like, do you want to have some part of this, or do you think that just outlaying maybe what base cost would be to get sort of some tabs up and some designs once we have our content set up? What are you thinking?

00:13:22

James Redenbaugh: Yeah, so I can. I can generate a proposal that outlines some things. I can also share some proposals for other projects that I've done lately to give more context, because there's, I think, a lot to. It seems like a lot to be discovered around Scope. It's not. It's not super clear what, you know, what we need. When you guys, it seems like you want a sense of what's. What's possible and what might that. The cost be and things like that. And I feel, you know, much more flexible working with. With you guys than the other kinds of projects I'm. I'm proposing. So it might just be helpful to see some. Some other proposals and get a sense of things. What do you think?

00:14:29

Nando Austin: I. I think so.

00:14:30

Brian Russo: As long as there's kind of. Yeah, as long as we have that base there. The whole point is that we're able to build on it and do more work on it. And this is something that, you know, can constantly evolve. But just having in terms of a base site that kind of kicks off, like, what are some real key attributes that we need to have on there? Because, like, Nando, again, he can share the pitch deck that we created for this institute. So that will be helpful in the group chat or something. But once we kind of are able to put more of a footprint out there, that will help us to attract potential funders, investors, and that can help to really drive what the website can be in the future, especially when we have more funding coming for that.

00:15:12

Nando Austin: Yeah, exactly. So we have like a pitch deck that we're running around, try to get funding for the center, for the programs and so forth. But I. I agree with Brian. I think one of the main things would be just to have like a landing page with a lot of places that will be under construction that as soon as we get more financing. We can really start devoting money and energy into that. But just something that can really put our foot in the door.

00:15:35

Brian Russo: No.

00:15:38

James Redenbaugh: Yeah, easy peasy.

00:15:43

Brian Russo: Right? Right.

00:15:44

James Redenbaugh: For sure.

00:15:45

Brian Russo: And we already have a lot of kind of the content and stuff for that landing page anyway, so really kind of looking for that base and then expand from there.

00:15:56

James Redenbaugh: Great. Sounds good. Yeah. I mean, landing. A landing page can be easy. We could. We could mock something up, you know, right now, put it up and then. And then grow up from there. Or of course we can take more time with it. I'd love to see that deck and. Yeah. Do you guys have a sense of like. Well, first of all, are there any hard deadlines on the horizon or. Or events that you're hoping to have things for, things like that?

00:16:39

Nando Austin: So I'd say the December 20th is what we see as the beginning of the new cycle for 2026. Mindahi, one of the elders says that May 3, 2026 is the beginning of the new 26,000 year cycle. Our Elder says it can be anywhere between 27 and 2030. So anywhere between now and I'd say 2031 is a good idea.

00:17:10

Brian Russo: Okay.

00:17:11

James Redenbaugh: Yeah, I think we can get a.

00:17:12

Brian Russo: Landing page up before then.

00:17:14

James Redenbaugh: Yeah. And get working on our new cycle resolutions.

00:17:23

Brian Russo: A bit bigger than a New Year's resolution. A new cycle resolution, indeed.

00:17:32

Nando Austin: I mean, I guess realistically if. If we could have something before December 20th that could be awesome, which I think is maybe doable. It's a month and a half away.

00:17:44

James Redenbaugh: Yeah.

00:17:45

Nando Austin: Would that work for you?

00:17:47

James Redenbaugh: Yeah, I mean, it depends what we're talking about. I'd love to make it a work of art with you guys where it's not just informational and pretty things that we could generate on mid journey, but it's a unique experience that will stick with the. The person, whether they're a potential future participant or a potential funder or the Elders themselves, you know, seeing it, I want them to see themselves in it and for it to be like a. A portal, you know, and just the start of the portal that we want it to become. But it should feel like an. And opening and not like another, you know, another retreat website, but something really unique. And.

00:18:48

Brian Russo: I'm glad you're saying that. That's why we came to you because again, it is a portal. You know, I'm atlant, you know, the portal is right there. So you know what they say, if you can't go to the portal, bring the portal to the people. So as much as we can kind of bring in some of those cool vector dynamics and Tauruses and kind of, you know, seeing what you've done, obviously a little with the HOH Movement website and just taking it and you know, with all of these different indigenous traditions, there's so much color and pop in that. So I think we have so many cool colors to play with on our palette here. And at the same time really bridge that and through the architecture and the art of the site itself shows the multidimensionality of these indigenous traditions and at the same time it bridges it to sort of these other fundamental principles of what this is, which is about changing the economics around stuff like this. And also how this is now viewed in a very high level scientific light. Because again, tech or traditional ecological knowledge is what this is about. And I think getting the science part of it in there for us is really. And again, a new type of economy, a new way of spirituality, a new dawn where so much of this stuff is finally able to just be let go of. We've just been holding, we've been holding on to this stuff as a humanity and it's time to let that go and feel the lightness that comes with that. Don?

00:20:16

James Redenbaugh: Awesome.

00:20:18

Nando Austin: Yeah. To put into context a little more, I had a great conversation with Susan Manowicz, which is our friend who's basically doing her PhD at MIT on solar flares. And we've been wanting to talk for several weeks now because of everything going on with the Three eye atlas and the sunspots and the Schumann resonance and all that stuff. And we had the most amazing conversation. I was sharing with her what the elders were saying about what's going on right now. She was sharing the scientific side and she wrote me an email earlier today saying we need to put this on a video or an audio to start sharing with everyone because people are so confused and so out of the loop of what's happening. And this is just the beginning, right?

00:21:00

Brian Russo: Absolutely.

00:21:01

Nando Austin: Barely the tip of the iceberg. Everything that's coming. We really want to start sharing a lot of the information from the scientific and the spiritual indigenous elders aspects. So anything that you can imagine or we can co create there to help people understand what's coming, I think would be huge.

00:21:22

James Redenbaugh: Yeah. Awesome. I love, I'm definitely having visions about bridging or mating the scientific paroidal, you know, cuboctahedral symmetries that I know Brian and I love to nerd out on with, you know, indigenous patterns or fabric or, you know, textures and Textiles and traditional architecture to see what, you know, what simple yet novel and nuanced design interventions could be made to hint at and point at that connection and the possibility of bridging these worlds which we know are one, but are so separate in our, you know, in the mind of culture. and we want to make sure to do that in a way that doesn't feel woo or New Agey.

00:22:27

Brian Russo: And that's exactly why the science is so vital to the whole thing in bringing in scientific concepts. It's not as window dressing, it's actually core and, you know, inviting people on this kind of journey of inquiry into these things. You know, I very much suggest we use vector equilibrium as a design for that. I was seeing Berber and Islamic architecture in Morocco this summer and if you can imagine again, sort of like that 12 loop lotus of life connected to all of these other lotuses, creating that essentially isotropic vector equilibrium matrix. I mean that is, that's what we're talking about here. And that's definitely the stuff I've seen on the medicine. So I think that, yeah, having sort of. Not that we're trying to give people a psychedelic trip on the site. but definitely there's very activated geometries that we're all very aware of.

00:23:21

James Redenbaugh: Yeah, right.

00:23:22

Brian Russo: Yeah. And you know, just as. So just really quick next steps. So definitely. Fernando, if you want to share the deck, the slides with James, I'll also invite him into kind of our overview New dawn folder as part of this. James too, I want to share with you one of the courses that I've already done with Mandahi and you know, hopefully you and Emily can get a lot out of that. And again, you know, this project of building an actual institute, part of it is so that Mindahi can come and teach there. And this is the stuff that he's going to be teaching you about. So it's a twofold of. I hope you guys enjoy all these teachings. And at the same time too, maybe we find a way to really be very mindful about how that can be integrated into courses and the site itself because, you know, you can have an email catcher and it's like, hey, do you want a great water blessing? And it gives people this, you know, water blessing or something like that. So, so that's one step is that, you know, the pitch deck give you access and then on your half. I think you were going to send us some different proposals and stuff like that.

00:24:29

James Redenbaugh: Yeah, I'm actually, I'm going to share a proposal I just made for the Consciousness and Healing Institute. They want to do a website with us. It's a much bigger project than we're talking about, but it's similar bridging science and spirituality. I mean, they have a huge site with lots of moving pieces, but that'll give you a sense of things. And then I'll also share some smaller stuff. I'll share the Flourish Project one as well.

00:25:04

Brian Russo: Yeah. I'm glad you're working with Wendy. I mean, funnily enough, James, just to show you again how interconnected this world is, I made a post about the New dawn and Shamini was really interested and she donated to the New dawn event that Nando did with Midahi and then wanted to set up a call with Mindahi. And then Mindahi became insanely busy. But we're gonna loop in Shami and the Conscious Healing into. Into New dawn to give you a little bit of an idea of where we're. Where we're thinking.

00:25:37

James Redenbaugh: Awesome. Awesome. Yeah. It's such a small world. It seems to keep getting smaller. Smaller, but with more people. It was great. So, yeah, she's wonderful. We're also going to do some other stuff with her for her personal site. I love Wendy so much. I'm so happy to be working on the Flourish project.

00:26:00

Brian Russo: Yep.

00:26:01

James Redenbaugh: Her work is so cool. And I'm also. I did. I didn't mention. I'm more and more interested in what we can build in the space between these kinds of projects where these websites don't exist in so in such siloed ways, but where like an online learning backend is actually more of a territory. It's more of a planet where I might be taking a course on the New Dawn Institute, but it's actually the same back end as the Conscious Healing Hub. And it's a, you know, a synergistic crossover and there's all kinds of possibilities there.

00:26:43

Nando Austin: I love that because I at the wheel and. And have us do something that somebody else is doing if it already exists. And we can just let link it to somebody else's site and put our courses on somebody else that's interested in doing what we're doing. Totally. There's no need to reinvent it, especially if you're doing it already. No.

00:27:01

Brian Russo: So a good example of that is like Steve Farrow and Humanity Institute. I have sort of their video guidelines and shootings from discussions with them. So if we have videos that we shoot, we just do it according to their specifications. So they're interested in putting it Everywhere. So you do want to put it everywhere. And I think that is a good consideration to make. And as James speaks to this larger kind of interdimensional format of things, this is where, and just before I go off here, Nando, I know you had a chance to see the HALOS framework I put together, right? And you get a chance to see that a little bit.

00:27:37

James Redenbaugh: Yeah, yeah, a little bit, yeah.

00:27:41

Brian Russo: So to me, right, it's kind of like about interoperability. It's all of these things, but how do you move it forward together and what does that look like? So again, you're both busy guys here. To me, this is my most mission critical. This is like my raison d' etre for existing right now is to create this HALOS framework with the understanding that everything can be neatly used in this structure and neatly organized in such a coherent way that it is a universal operating system for humanity. And at the same time, working with Jesse Grace and Grace Intelligence is the idea that in, within that HALOS framework I'll be able to have everybody again like a perplexity or whatever, have their own AI. But as you were just saying, James. Well, there's not a Gene Keys AI. There is. Jessa built the Gene Keys human design, Ichang and a bunch of other personality systems into Grace Intelligence anyway, which is what HALOS is also going to be running on top of in total alignment. So the idea that I'm pitching you guys here is I've already done this for James and actually Nando, I've already done it for you. You guys are probably the only two people that I went through all these systems and you know, looked at all the aspects of what that would be like with the idea of that being sort of a root kernel for what it's like for you guys to develop, you know, your own operating systems and then, you know, with the invitation of co stewarding this HALOS project with me to whatever extent you want. But I think that what the value differentiator for HALOS is as a meta system that obviously it has a platform component of reciprocity. People can learn from the universal operating system of halos and that information goes into their AI or they produce some really cool things that goes, feeds back into halos. But that whole idea is that if you have the basis of being able to capture every potential energy in the universe as your base, you can build unlimited systems on top of that and they're all existing super collapsed as one. It's the format for a unitive Superorganism. It's the format for all of these projects, you know, that I love and care about and seeing my friends projects come to life like, you know, yours, Nando, and that I've obviously stepped into and everything you're doing, James, so I'm like all in on trying to make this happen. So to whatever degree you guys are aligned with that, you know, I put it all out there that this is where I'm going and I hope we can, with what we're all doing, go there together.

00:30:20

Nando Austin: Let's do it.

00:30:21

James Redenbaugh: Let's do it. Yeah, I'm of the same mind on that. I feel that what you're speaking to pulling me forward as well and seeing it very much and seeing what the next Internet can be and it needing to be this kind of inside out, interoperable, completely integrated framework where there's so many systems whose values are multiplied when they're combined with other systems. So why would you want your resource library of your collection of things on your website, you know, how would that, the value of that not be exponentiated if it's also connected to 18 other resource libraries with intelligent librarians right there ready to help you, where you have your front of it, you know, your wing, your entrance into the library. And here's the things that I'm most, you know, that I think my community will benefit from. But my community I know is not just this whole. That's in its one thing. We're also a part of all these other things. So why don't we have one thing that we share where I can go and learn and go and create and go and connect and co and build villages across communities, across organizations, across fields of resource. It makes total sense. And there's so much to figure out in.

00:31:50

Brian Russo: And how easy is it to have this again? I just use Zodiac because that's as much as potentially the challenges it brings up. It comes back every time that's the framework in one way or another. And all of these other things. Like I've known Adam Apollo for a long time and this is very similar in some senses to Core Nexus, but where it's very different is saying I'm not worried about badges, I'm not worried about points. Yeah, there's elements of gamification I'm interested in. But if you scroll down in that big overview doc that's too complicated for 99% of the people on the planet, minus you guys right now, it ends with the Internet of Beings. And that's what the mushrooms told me to do, guys, they said, look, we all have this telepathic mind heart connection, and if you can build the external architecture that essentially points backward to what that is, then you've created the Internet without wires. Right. Forget wireless Internet. This is like wire nothing Internet. It's literally the neural wiring and the heartbeat wiring all kind of coming into phase with this. With this comes the realization that we are that one beating heart beating at different places around the world together with Mother Earth with all of that. So obviously, I could go on and on, but I do really want to formally invite you guys in as, you know, co founders of this. And as much as you want to be involved in what this is. And I feel, James, you know, you've been from four years ago when you were showing me that you were doing a 12 around the one kind of a thing. And that's where it eventually to me goes, is that it's about reflecting the genius in the light of everyone. And it's. I don't want to own, per se, this framework because again, when it gets to a point where this is. Again, it's an Internet of beings. Exactly. When it's an Internet of beings, you can't own that. It's just everybody can use it. Everybody has accessibility. And that's where we can go to a post money society, eco villages everywhere. Because we're operating from the highest. This is the most potential coherent collective intelligence network on the planet.

00:34:03

Nando Austin: Yeah.

00:34:03

Brian Russo: That's what I want to. Yeah. Would love to create that with you guys.

00:34:08

Nando Austin: Awesome. I'm all in. Like James said, I feel we're playing poker and this is my last hand. So we're going bigger, strong.

00:34:15

Brian Russo: I'm a trip. I'm like a triple Pisces. I can't come back here. I have. We got to fix it enough so we can take a vacation next lifetime.

00:34:25

James Redenbaugh: Yeah. A lot to do. A lot to do. Yeah. Adam is wanting in different ways to bring me into what he's creating. And I keep getting the sense that it's. I. I don't know, it's like. It's like so close to what I want to see in the world, and yet something is off. I don't.

00:34:50

Brian Russo: I'll say it a trillion times because it apparently still needs to be said. You can't create the new from the energy of the old, even if you think you have the energy of the new, but it's still vibrating at that frequency. Are you talking hollow movement or what?

00:35:05

James Redenbaugh: No, Adam Apollo's.

00:35:07

Brian Russo: Oh, that stuff to me, it's too much like domain 11. Like Aquarian, but sort of like an almost. I don't. I don't want to say dystopic, but like sort of there's a darkness ish kind. Like you gotta integrate the darkness. But the reason the halos is literally like your iris or like all the colors used in the eagle condor of the rainbow is because it's this full spectrum of overwhelming. Like we are the godlike. That's the vibe.

00:35:36

James Redenbaugh: Yeah, yeah. And you know, I love hollow movement. I love those guys. And you know, it's like cosplay. Cosplaying the thing. It's like theater camp kind of thing. Which is. Which is awesome. And I want to build things for them and help them do what they do. But.

00:35:55

Brian Russo: But I'm talking like real.

00:35:56

James Redenbaugh: It's not what you're talking about.

00:35:57

Brian Russo: I'm not. We're not around here.

00:36:01

James Redenbaugh: Yeah.

00:36:01

Brian Russo: I mean, if you ask me why we're doing this, it's because you have all this brainwashing, all these people that are in these loops of suffering, and we literally have the know how and the motivation and the ability to expedite the alleviation of that suffering. So this is all driven by like the deepest compassion imaginable. Really?

00:36:22

James Redenbaugh: Yeah.

00:36:23

Nando Austin: Just to put it bluntly, I'm here in France visiting my friend who has cancer, trying to help her come out of it, and she invited me to teach her course on Friday. And I could not think of anything better because all the students here sad and depressed and they're going through a lot of emotions. I couldn't think of anything better to talk about than the new dawn. It was like, oh, yeah, people need help, man.

00:36:45

James Redenbaugh: Right.

00:36:45

Nando Austin: That's, that's what's gonna change the whole dynamic from look at where our world is going to look at all the amazing possibilities that already exist and all these beautiful people that are already doing it and all these elders that have been praying for this for thousands of years. Right. So I just feel really honored and privileged to. To be on this path with you guys. I'm. I'm so grateful and so excited for everything that's to come. And I'm here to be of service. So whatever I can do to help any, in any way, count on me, guys.

00:37:16

James Redenbaugh: Oh, awesome.

00:37:18

Nando Austin: Me too.

00:37:19

James Redenbaugh: It's such an honor and a privilege. And I'm excited.

00:37:25

Brian Russo: Oh, boy. I. I just flipped my video around.

00:37:32

James Redenbaugh: It's all blurry.

00:37:33

Brian Russo: God. Yeah, No, I flipped the video around because I'm on my phone here in the car. Let's see.

00:37:41

Nando Austin: You're looking at his.

00:37:43

Brian Russo: There we go.

00:37:45

Nando Austin: There it is.

00:37:45

James Redenbaugh: I thought you were trying to show.

00:37:46

Brian Russo: Us my sausage fingers. Yeah. Guys. I love you guys very much. And that's. The whole thing is, like, I only want to really work with people that are in that vibe and just holding that high degree of resonance. And I'm done trying to pitch this kind of stuff to people that are like, you know. So for us, I don't know if that's exactly what they're doing, but it's kind of like the. The steps it takes to get on that same vibe would better taken to just work with people who are on the vibe and then create the type of vehicles that are going to get people at that level. Not saying that they have to get to our level, but we're chasing sort of the big prize here at the end of the rainbow, and. Yeah, that's all. That's all I got. I'm just super excited, and I know we're gonna keep doing great things together, guys.

00:38:38

Nando Austin: Yeah, for sure. Thank you guys so much. I'm really excited.

00:38:43

Brian Russo: Yeah. All right, guys, be in touch real soon. Have an awesome day.

00:38:47

James Redenbaugh: You too.

00:38:48

Nando Austin: Love you guys.

00:38:49

James Redenbaugh: Love you guys. See you soon.

00:38:50

Nando Austin: Bye.

00:38:51

James Redenbaugh: Bye.

00:38:52

Brian Russo: Bye.
