Second Sapiens

The Rise of the Planetary Mind and the Future of Humanity

By: Said Elias Dawlabani

Narrated by: Harold L Chambers Jr.

What will it take for us to preserve what remains of life on the planet? Is humanity itself at risk? These are the overarching questions Said Dawlabani asks in this book’s comprehensive development model.

The current leading edge of intelligence that rules over our scientific, political, and economic reality is incapable of mitigating many of the unprecedented challenges we face. Dawlabani asserts that our present institutions and ways of thinking are an extension of humanity’s journey through its first six stages of development that have been marked by imperfection ever since we became hunter-gathers. This is the journey of the First sapiens that has brought us to where we are now: to the edge of the Sixth Extinction.

Effective solutions to our problems need a whole ecosystem approach which is the domain of what Dawlabani calls Second Sapiens. It is an emerging expression of humanity that propels our psychosocial capacities into an exponential leap forward. It is on that other side where we embrace the complexities that have defined life for billions of years.

Second Sapiens answers the question: what would Mother Nature do? It is an alignment with that intelligence that takes into account all forms of life—not just our own—on this exquisite, fragile planet that happens to be the only one we have.

Unfolding Horizons

This book is like a sunrise over the ocean of Gaia - I have read it , yet its unfolding continues within me, awakening new currents of insight and wonder. It invites wonder and deep presence, revealing layers of meaning that connect us to each other, to the our Planet Earth, and to the future of humanity. At times, I lost myself in it, like drifting in a hidden current of consciousness, yet feeling completely at home. Every page illuminates the path, awakens seeds of something deeply natural, and reminds us of our responsibility to each other and to the Earth. It is a guiding star for humanity, shining in the darkness, inspiring vision , love, and conscious action. This book nurtures the heart while awakening a sense of connection to the living tapestry of Gaia. Deep gratitude to Said Elias Dawlabani, and to all who guided and supported this work - for sharing the living ocean of Gaia, a hidden current of awakening, and a symphony of connection that touches us all.
