A Peaceful Way Out of Old Patterns
How AMP uses collective focus to change the field
In this post: I share why AMP became my life mission, how collective focus changes what becomes possible, and why this week’s AMP session, Planetary (2015), is such a powerful teacher for this moment. At the end, I include the Intention Session and Let Go and Allow statements for anyone who wants to try it.
If you have been searching for a peaceful way to change repeating patterns, how to handle conflict without losing yourself, or how to feel less hopeless about division, this is a place to begin.
Why this became my life mission
When I realized what can happen when people watch AMP film sessions with the intention of collective change, it became my life mission. Strategically, it felt like finding a peaceful way out of patterns that repeat across generations. Not by fighting harder. Not by shaming people into agreement. By shifting awareness together so new solutions can appear.
Movies matter here because they are accessible. You do not need a special vocabulary. You watch the film with a simple intention and let your system receive what it is ready to receive.
Sue Anne and I did the resonance work and, metaphorically, uploaded it into our shared connectivity with the intention that anyone could access it. All they had to do was the Intention Session and watch the film. Over time, we created more than 800 sessions. That took years, because real resonance has to be lived and integrated, not just written down. Each session had to move through us before we could offer it to anyone else.
This was never only about me changing. It was about coming together. The hope was always collective change. Awareness shifting so that new solutions become visible for how we live together, how we treat each other, and how we respond to the planetary changes that are before us.
What I mean by interconnectivity
I do not mean we are all connected as a slogan.
I mean something practical.
Each of us has an emotional set point. A baseline we return to. When that baseline shifts, our choices shift. Our tone shifts. The kind of room we create around us shifts.
And when enough people shift that baseline, new behavior starts to feel possible. It spreads. Not by force. By availability.
Social scientists call that kind of spread social contagion. Emotional states and behaviors can move through groups and networks more than we like to admit, often without people realizing it.
A visual that helps me see it
I used to struggle to explain this until I found a visual that helped me.
The Mandelbrot set helped me see something simple. The part carries the pattern of the whole. The whole is present in the part.
These repeating patterns are called fractals. They are seen everywhere in nature. They are also used in technology. What matters to me is not the math. It is the reminder that small patterns can scale, and that change in one place can echo outward.
That is how interconnectivity makes sense to me.
Not as magic. As pattern.
When a person changes, the pattern they carry changes. And that change becomes available to the people around them.
This week’s AMP session is Planetary (2015)
This week’s AMP session is the documentary Planetary (2015). The film is about our extraordinary planet and the way perspective can change a human being.
Planetary is simply beautiful. Calm, spacious, and almost meditative. It slows you down long enough to feel what you already know, but have forgotten.
When I watch it, it can feel almost sacred. Not because it is trying to preach, but because it helps you remember the peace and elegance that are still here when you zoom out.
A central thread in Planetary is the moment astronauts look back at Earth from space and feel something shift permanently. People often call this the Overview Effect. The details vary by person, but the common thread is awe, humility, and a sudden, felt understanding of the whole.
When people can see the whole, they stop behaving like isolated parts.
They start to integrate the bigness. The totality. The shared home.
And that changes them.
And this is how I understand God
This is the one place where I use the word God, and I use it as a signpost.
God is the word I use for a highly sophisticated operating system of love woven into everything. Not a tribal label. Not a debate topic. A way of describing what I see when coherence is real.
When humans shift from fear and control into clarity and care, it feels like they are aligning with something bigger than personality.
That is the love operating system. It runs everything.
And when we change patterns toward coherence, we are collaborating with it.
The Untapped Power of Collective Focus
I do not think we fully understand the power of collective focus yet. When enough people aim their attention in the same direction, new behavior becomes possible, and then new ideas become discoverable. We stop recycling the same old fights and start seeing options we literally could not see before.
That is how I imagine a renaissance of consciousness appearing. Can you imagine the gentle change this could create in relationships, communities, business, and a country? It is a big idea, but I believe it is possible. Collective focus is a paradigm shift that can make new ways of living together available by aligning with the love operating system, not by winning the good fight.
Fear is so effective because it captures this same power. And it has a sophisticated delivery system. Media, news, and the constant churn can keep whole populations collectively angry, collectively afraid, collectively stuck in fighting. When that happens, it becomes easier for power and corruption to rise while people are too activated to see clearly.
AMP is my attempt to work with that same mechanism in a different direction. Movies are an accessible delivery system for benevolent collective focus. When people watch the same story with a shared intention, we start focusing together on changing the patterns that keep us separated, fighting, and grabbing for control. Not by force. By availability.
That is why I keep coming back to the same question. How powerful could it be if our collective focus aligned with the elegance of the love operating system instead?
In Planetary, when astronauts look back at the beauty of the planet, many describe a shift that changes them. They begin to sense the elegance of creation, an order and coherence we rarely notice from ground level. The Overview Effect is not just awe. It is a return to the whole.
This is one reason AMP became my life mission. I believe it helps train attention away from old human constructs that keep us stuck in us versus them. It gives the mind a different track to run on. It helps us let go of old loops and start to see bigger possibilities for our own lives, for humanity, and for our collaboration with the planet.
How to collaborate with the love operating system this week
This is the practical part. It is how to participate without needing a grand plan.
Choose one relationship room you are in often. Family, work, a friend, a group text.
Create one small shift toward clarity. Less reaction. More truth. More steadiness.
Repeat it enough that it becomes a new set point.
Not overnight. Not all at once.
One person at a time. One room at a time.
What are the benefits of this AMP session, Planetary
My hope is that you watch Planetary and notice three shifts.
You get a felt sense of the love operating system. The film shows our extraordinary planet as extraordinarily beautiful, lovely, and peaceful from the view of space, and something in you starts to remember the whole.
Your perspective widens. You remember you are part of something bigger, and you feel less alone in the story.
Your baseline steadies. You become more able to collaborate, to stay human under stress, and to choose clarity instead of old loops.
A question to sit with
Where in your life do you feel the strongest separation story right now?
And what is one small shift that would bring you back into coherence?
Before the statements
AMP is on your terms, not mine. You only receive what is right for you, in your timing, with grace and ease. I am simply putting up the resonance for anyone who wants it. People process in their time. It is meant to be graceful. Do this first, and you will get the resonance benefits listed below on your terms and timing.
Step One: The Intention Session
You only need to do this once before you watch the film. If you have already completed an Intention Session, it carries over for all of the AMP movies I talk about, so you do not need to repeat it.
Speak these aloud:
I allow the changes in my timing and only integrate what I am ready to.
I have faith that I will receive the benefits I desire.
I am patient with myself as I make my changes.
I let go of feeling I am too busy to take the time for this.
I let go of needing to understand how AMP works and allow myself to receive the full benefits in my own timing.
Engage three simple modalities:
Nod your head yes.
Drink some water.
Take several slow, rhythmic breaths through your nose.
Then watch Planetary (2015) all the way through.
There are over 250 intentions included in the Planetary AMP session. Below is a short summary of what you can expect if you choose to do this AMP session. For now, I’m making these intentions available to everyone.
Below are selected statements from the session.

Quick glossary
Collective focus. The direction a group’s attention is aimed, which shapes what emotions spread and what solutions become visible.
Love operating system: My plainspoken name for what I mean by God. The creative, coherent force of love that runs through everything and holds everything together. When fear and control fall away, it becomes easier to feel and align with. I believe we will be able to measure aspects of it more directly someday.
Overview Effect. The lasting perspective shift many describe after seeing Earth from space.
Set point. Your baseline way of responding, the level you tend to return to.
Social contagion. The way behaviors and emotional states can spread through groups and networks.
Fractal. A repeating pattern where the small resembles the whole.
