An extensive keynote that Peter gave at the International Network for the Study of Spirituality event in 2025.
What if our homes, devices, and communities could interact with the field of consciousness itself? In this talk, Peter Merry introduces the emerging world of Consciousness Technology—from lights and wearables that respond to collective states, to games and research tools that explore synchronicity and intention.
Drawing on the history of consciousness research, including the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Lab, and new innovations like the Wyrdoscope and Wyrd Light, this presentation explores how we can design technologies, cultures, and practices that align with natural intelligence and deepen human coherence.
Peter frames these developments in the context of today’s global polycrisis, showing how shifting consciousness may unlock deeper insights and more graceful solutions than linear, rational approaches allow. He highlights the role of coherence, presence, and symbolic meaning in stabilizing entanglement effects, drawing on the Model of Pragmatic Information.
The talk closes by envisioning a future civilisation “between stories,” where the sacred and the subtle are re-integrated into daily life—and where the Future is Wyrd.
