For more than a decade, Copiosis lived as a question for me, a proposal of sorts, and, occasionally, a provocation. It described a future beyond money, beyond coerced labor, and beyond artificial scarcity. At its core, every person got food, clothing, shelter, education and healthcare at not cost. It offered a vision of sustainable abundance, advanced communities powered by renewable energy, and an environment no longer treated as collateral damage in the pursuit of growth.
Twelve years ago, Copiosis felt like just a dream. I felt I needed to defend, clarify it for others, and then drive it to success. When people dismissed it or misunderstood it, I often met that resistance directly. In hindsight, I can see how much energy I put into trying to make others see what I saw.
I’ve made some success with that.
Readers familiar with my earlier post, “The Tyranny of the Social Justice Warrior,” will recognize that phase of my thinking. At the time, I was sharp, certain, and oppositional, pushing against ideas, institutions, and individuals I believed were standing in the way of humanity’s freedom. During that period, Copiosis felt like something I needed to protect and promote.
Today, my relationship with Copiosis is very different. That shift happened because I no longer believe Copiosis was ever mine to make happen in the first place. And yet, the promise of Copiosis is blooming…far better than I could have done my self and even far better than I could possibly imagine.
This post explains the why behind all that
The Guidance That Changed Everything
Some time ago, I had a conversation with my mentor Abraham—a nonphysical stream of collective consciousness that speaks through Esther Hicks and whom I enjoy as part of my lineage. Their guidance has been a steady presence in my life, though I haven’t always been ready to hear or apply that guidance. During that conversation, they shared something deceptively simple that would eventually change everything.
They told me that anything I want can be mine, but only if I’m willing to let go of needing credit for how it unfolds. Alongside that, they explained that I would need to release the belief that it had to be me orchestrating the process. At the time, I thought I understood what they meant. The depth of that guidance revealed itself only later.
Eventually, it became clear that I wasn’t being asked to surrender authorship in some abstract or symbolic way. What was being requested was the release of very tangible attachments I had, including my identity as Copiosis’s architect, spokesperson, and moral authority. Even more confronting was the invitation to let go of the belief that I needed to be the one funding it, and that Copiosis had to provide my livelihood in order for it to be legitimate.
Those unspoken assumptions ran deeper than I realized. Somewhere along the way, I had come to believe that if Copiosis was true, righteous, and inevitable, then it should naturally support me financially. Letting go of that belief was challenging. And yet, that was precisely the invitation.
When Fighting the Unwanted Created More Unwanted
Another piece of Abraham’s guidance eventually landed with equal force, though it took years and significant contrast to fully integrate. They taught that it’s impossible to focus on what’s unwanted and receive what’s wanted. At the time, I nodded in agreement, assuming I understood the principle. In practice, I was doing the opposite.
During my early years leading Copiosis, my focus was deeply oppositional. I was anti-money, anti-capitalism, anti-jobs, and highly suspicious of wealth and those who held it. From my perspective then, those positions felt justified. They felt right. What I failed to recognize was how that focus shaped my own lived reality.
Like everyone in physical reality, I don’t experience the abstract world or global systems directly. Instead, I experience my own reality. That reality occurs when my attention, belief, and emotional orientation filters the immense data that is physical reality into my unique personal one. As a result, every push against money was mirrored back to me as financial struggle. Each rejection of jobs showed up as increasing difficulty finding or sustaining work. What was happening was this: My resistance towards capitalism manifested as economic instability in my own life and no one else’s.
Over time, the contrast intensified. My personal finances deteriorated, opportunities dried up. Meanwhile, I had to increase my effort. When the 2008 financial crisis hit, I lost my home to foreclosure. At the time, that collapse looked like proof that the system itself was broken beyond repair. Only later did I understand that what was really happening was my focus had been reflected back to me with precision.
A Pattern Repeating
What allowed this realization to fully land was noticing the same pattern repeating elsewhere. Peter Joseph, founder of The Zeitgeist Movement famously went deeply into debt, maxing out credit cards while advancing that vision. And yet, TZM has not made any appreciable progress on its goals. Another prominent advocate for a different moneyless society idea found themselves broke as well and eventually was forced back into the very job market they had hoped to transcend.
Other people, in different countries, with different personalities and ideas were arriving at remarkably similar outcomes. What was the common denominator of these people? Essentially, their focus. What we were collectively pushing against was being eliminated from our own lives. Meanwhile, the world kept on turning…
From Resistance to Alignment
Thankfully, my Broader Perspective didn’t abandon me to that lesson. Instead, it gently redirected my attention. Rather than continuing to fight the structure of society, it guided me toward aligning my internal state. Copiosis gradually receded as a project, while living Positively Focused moved into the foreground.
As I began calibrating my emotional state and easing resistance, something subtle yet unmistakable occurred. When I stopped fighting money, money stopped fighting me. As I softened my opposition, opportunities reappeared. Stability returned as did my inner peace.
Only after that internal shift did my perception change. Without resistance clouding my view, I could finally see what had been unfolding all along. Hundreds of billions of dollars were already being poured into Copiosis happening! Millions of people were already working toward what Copiosis promised. Entire industries were converging toward the very outcomes Copiosis described, even if they never used the word.
Seeing Copiosis Already Underway in a Post-Scarcity World
The future isn’t labeled Copiosis, and it didn’t need to be. From the beginning, the idea was always about outcomes rather than a brand name. Abundance without coercion, necessities provided at no cost, freedom from mandatory labor, renewable energy at scale, and environmental remediation were no longer theoretical constructs. Instead I saw them as emerging realities. Emerging realities literally emerging everywhere!
No single individual makes this clearer than Elon Musk. His work does not align ideologically with Copiosis, nor does it need to. And yet, through Tesla, he accelerated electric vehicle adoption, pioneered battery technology, and decentralized energy systems. His solar and storage initiatives helped normalize renewable power at scale. SpaceX and Starlink are building planetary and orbital infrastructure that dramatically reduces communication scarcity, while his Optimus humanoid robot openly targets the replacement of human labor with humanoid robotics. That last innovation alone, along with artificial intelligence developed to the point of AGI will make virtually anything we want available at near no cost.
But there’s more…
Over the past year, Musk has repeatedly stated that the future will be one of superabundance, that universal high income will be inevitable, and that money itself may eventually become obsolete as automation matures. Indeed, he has said time and again that because of these technologies, including artificial intelligence, the cost of everything will be so close to zero, they will be available for what essentially is free.
Whether one agrees with his personality or not, this single individual is advancing the material conditions of Copiosis faster than decades of advocacy ever could.
The Abundance Vector Has Many Architects
But Musk isn’t the only one bringing Copiosis into the mainstream. Peter Diamandis has spent years framing humanity’s trajectory through the lens of exponential technologies, catalyzing breakthroughs in energy, health, space, and sustainability through initiatives like XPRIZE. Li Fei-Fei, one of the most respected figures in artificial intelligence, continues to emphasize that even in an AI-dominated future, humanity must remain central to meaning, ethics, and stewardship.
Other voices such as Eric Schmidt, along with leaders at OpenAI and Anthropic, have become increasingly candid about the scale of transformation underway. While disagreements remain around risk, governance, and timing, there is convergence on one point: artificial intelligence will fundamentally reshape labor, economics, and society. The direction of that change is no longer ambiguous. It’s leaning heavily towards Copiosis-like outcomes.
The Millions Building the Future Quietly
Behind these visible figures are millions more whose names will never appear in headlines. Engineers, researchers, designers, open-source contributors, energy workers, roboticists, and decentralized system builders are collectively advancing this future. Entire nations, including China, are investing heavily in parallel technologies, accelerating the same trajectory from different cultural contexts.
Copiosis does not require agreement, belief, or permission. It emerges from physics, incentives, and technological convergence all guided by All That Is and the core values of collective human consciousness. It is literally inevitable. And that inevitability is becoming more and more obvious.
Artificial intelligence is already replacing cognitive labor, while intelligent agents manage workflows and optimize systems at unprecedented scale. Humanoid robots are close behind, prepared to replace physical labor across industries ranging from logistics to caregiving. Recently, the American president announced in a news briefing that the administration plans to rely heavily on humanoid robots to build future aircraft carriers and submarines.
That may seem a bit of an overreach, but the fact that the president of the US is saying such a thing out loud shows how real the once-imagined future has become.
Why Mandatory Labor Cannot Survive Artificial Intelligence
Once both cognitive and physical labor become optional, a money-based system collapses under its own assumptions. From that perspective, Copiosis again is a foregone conclusion. That’s because Artificial General Intelligence is now widely believed to be inevitable at this point. So human labor will soon become obsolete for the most part.
Here is where Abraham’s guidance resolves fully. I no longer need credit for the unfolding, nor do I need to orchestrate it. The belief that Copiosis had to fund my life in order to be real has dissolved completely. By letting go of what I thought I needed, I received what I always wanted, including a Positively Focused client practice that meets my practical living needs.
I now live in a world that is, at its essence, becoming Copiosis. That outcome was never dependent on my control, my recognition, or my sacrifice. Allowing the process turned out to be far more powerful than managing it.
An Invitation to See Differently
If you can’t yet see what I see, that’s understandable. From many vantage points, it’s easy to feel insecure, bitter, or angry toward “the rich,” particularly those who appear to benefit most from this transition. Yet those same people are not stealing the future. In many cases, some are unintentionally delivering it, but many are intentionally doing so.
They see such a future as highly desirable, as I do. As many following Copiosis have. But many of those latter folks, the followers of Copiosis may still think it’s not happening. That’s because they can’t see evidence of Copiosis’ inevitability.
For anyone who wants to see differently, for those wanting to see the evidence I see, I don’t recommend fighting the system or opposing wealth. Alignment begins internally. Living Positively Focused means noticing where attention flows and how reality mirrors that focus back. Once that shift occurs, the evidence becomes unavoidable.
And because I’ve made that shift, I can say with absolute confidence that Copiosis isn’t coming. It’s already done. Which is why I no longer believe I have to make it happen.
