At the Threshold: Reclaiming Your Relationship With Worth with Amron Bevels
<p>What happens when we stop asking whether we’re worthy of what we desire and begin to trust the desire itself?</p><p></p><p>In this conversation from the Writing the World Forward Summit, Amanda Johnson welcomes Amron Bevels back to <i>Inside the Village</i> for a deeper exploration of money, worth, desire, focus, and the invisible codes we carry about what we are allowed to receive.</p><p></p><p>Amron invites us to look beneath the surface of our beliefs about money and prosperity—to notice the places where sacrifice, self-denial, overgiving, and the need to be “good enough” may have quietly shaped the way we move through the world.</p><p></p><p>Together, Amanda and Amron explore what it means to put our resources behind something we believe in, why focus may be one of our most powerful forms of currency, and what can happen when we stop scattering our energy and begin choosing ourselves.</p><p></p><p>This conversation moves through spiritual mastery, prosperity, self-permission, generosity, the wisdom of desire, and the possibility of creating a life that feels deeply aligned and free.</p><p></p><p>At the heart of it all is a simple invitation:</p><p></p><p><b>Choose yourself.</b></p><p></p><p>You are your own best investment.<br /><br /></p><p>Amron Bevels works at the intersection of spiritual mastery, prosperity, and self-permission.

At the Threshold: Why the Crisis Is a Story Problem with Zach Bush
<p>What if the greatest challenge facing humanity isn't simply environmental, technological, or political—but a crisis of disconnection?</p><p></p><p>In this opening conversation of <b>Writing the World Forward</b>, Amanda Johnson sits down with physician, educator, and regenerative systems thinker <b>Dr. Zach Bush</b> to explore the stories shaping our world and the deeper narratives that determine how we relate to ourselves, one another, and the living Earth.</p><p></p><p>Together, they reflect on storytelling as a vehicle for wisdom rather than entertainment, the difference between authentic feeling and emotional abstraction, and why our future depends on remembering our place within nature rather than apart from it.</p><p></p><p>Dr. Bush also offers a compelling preview of his forthcoming book, <b>Biological Elegance</b>, sharing why he views artificial intelligence as "abstract intelligence"—a mirror reflecting humanity back to itself—and how this moment in history may be an invitation into what he calls a <b>Biological Renaissance</b>.</p><p></p><p>Throughout the conversation, Amanda and Zach explore what it means to write a new story for humanity—one rooted not in fear or scarcity, but in connection, regeneration, and belonging.</p><p></p><p>🌱 <b>Join the movement</b></p><p>Contribute to our Emerging Voices fundraising campaign:<br /><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.awakenvillagepress.com/contribute" target="_blank">www.awakenvillagepress.com/contribute</a></p><p>Learn more about our Emerging Voices projects:<br /><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.awakenvillagepress.com/projects" target="_blank">www.awakenvillagepress.com/projects</a></p><p>Interested in becoming part of our community?
