Dating back to when we were primates and first used a stick to get at fruit on a branch outside our reach, we’ve progressively used tools and technologies in more sophisticated ways to extend our abilities. That’s no different to today as we progressively explore tools, techniques and technologies to realise ever increasing levels of performance and potential. We are fast approaching a convergence point where exponential technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Neurotech, BioTech, Virtual & Augmented Reality (among others) will blur the lines between artificial and the real, and between the virtual and the real. In addition as meditation becomes more mainstream, many are experiencing a greater disidentification with the mind made concept of self, the trauma and conditioning which keeps us small, being replaced by an alignment with our seed of potential within. And furthermore the subsequent psychedelic renaissance that is unfolding is set to expand our awareness of who and what we are…individually and collectively in ways that we can’t even imagine from this current point in time. Two Paths is an exploration of two narratives (the pink path and the grey path) into the fundamentals of wellbeing, performance optimisation, human potential and potential beyond human. The pink path in our organic capacity and, the grey path the integration & augmentation with technologies as part of the emerging transhuman, post human movementThe Two Paths podcast is where we have these conversations, exploring the opportunities that are unfolding and providing an evidence based approach as we interview leaders in science and research, wellbeing & performance optimisation, technology entrepreneurs & innovators, leaders in consciousness and those at the forefront of psychedelic research, among many others relevant to wellbeing, performance and potential.

Artificial Intelligence, The Metaverse and Consciousness with Dr Catriona Wallace
Troy is joined by Dr Catriona Wallace one of the world’s most cited experts on the topics of AI, the Metaverse, Web3, responsible tech, women in leadership and the future of work. Troy first met Cat back in July when he attended a technology and meditation event she was hosting in Byron Bay. The event brought together a group of 40 people, half were leaders of spiritual communities and the other half were technologists to explore the intersection between technology and consciousness.
As a follow up conversation from the event… Their discussion covers everything from why regulation and ethics are imperative in the emerging Metaverse, where technology is leading us, what that means for humanity and consciousness itself and how we best prepare ourselves for a future of unprecedented change. We hope you enjoy this conversation with Catriona as much as we did.

Tech for dreaming – Lucid Dreaming on Demand with Brian Gilan
Troy is joined by Brian Gilan as they explore everything from the Oura Ring as a market technology for measuring and optimising sleep to dropping deep into the lucid dreaming space… What is it? How do you do it? Why would you want to do it? What does the dreamscape show us about our waking reality and is our waking state a dream?
Our discussion unfolds beautifully as we discuss what a utopian future might look like. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Brian as much as I did.
The Light and Dark of Technologies inc AI (Ascended Intelligence) with Rak Razam
Troy is joined by Rak Razam for a discussion of all things technologies and consciousness from meditation, psychedelics, metaverse, AI (artificial intelligence or ascended intelligence) as tools for the development of a utopian future. As technology continues to evolve exponentially how does humanity ensure that we are creating a future that is desirable for all. Who are we really and what can we become?
Our discussion unfolds beautifully as we look backwards before looking forwards into what a utopian future might look like.
Rak Razam is an alchemical storyteller with his finger on the pulse of tomorrow and the heart of today. A screenwriter, documentary filmmaker, author, journalist and shamanic medicine ambassador, his focus is on the cultural paradigm birthing in this brave new world. www.rakrazam.com
The Intersection Between Technology and Consciousness with Troy Haines
Troy introduces the Two Paths Podcast. Is technology taking us into a desirable future? Are we in control of ourselves? What does the future of technology and consciousness look like? Will we still be human in the future?
As I learn about the advances and application of technologies along with evolving human consciousness, the two paths podcast shares the progression of my learning as I lean into a future that integrates technology and consciousness… I’ll share interviews with experts in both technology and consciousness as we explore – what are we evolving into?

My awareness is that technology has the potential to uplift humanity (it has throughout history) in ways that we can’t imagine – for good, for the exploration and realisation of our potential.
But our technology is an extension of our collective consciousness. Currently technologies such as AI, Web3 and the Metaverse, despite bringing great benefits, have the power to harm people and create a greater divide in society. We are also faced with the exclusion of women, minorities, Indigenous and other groups in the current design of technology. We need conscious leaders to shape and direct the future relationships between technology and humanity.
How do we navigate the next decade and beyond as the development of technology accelerates, how do we apply and use our technologies in ways that support the many to become the realisation of our highest potential and not serve the benefit of just the few.
