The Forrest Wilson Experience

"We are the Divine Creators of our Reality" - Tim ShieldsIn this episode, Forrest Wilson sits down with writer, editor, and literary collaborator Tim Shields (host of The Inciting Incident podcast and author of A Curious Year in the Great Vivarium Experiment) for a wide‑ranging, deeply mystical conversation about consciousness, creativity, and the future of humanity.Tim shares the “inciting incident” that cracked him open at 17 during a psychedelic mushroom journey at a Grateful Dead concert, and how that experience set him on a lifelong path of writing, travel, and spiritual exploration. He unpacks his upcoming book Dream Tethering, introduces his model of self‑actualization called the Circletron, and explains why he believes we are a threshold species standing at a pivotal evolutionary moment.Along the way, Forrest and Tim explore time as a river of information, receiving “downloads,” working closely with Dr. Joe Dispenza and Dr. Zach Bush, navigating grief and generational trauma, and how artists and conscious media can be “lighthouses” in support of birthing a new world.In This Episode, Tim and Forrest Explore:Gratitude, Intention, and SynchronicityThe long‑term impact of writing 5 gratitudes + 5 intentions every day since 2010.How this practice helped catalyze synchronicities and surprising opportunities in work, travel, and income.Today’s intentions become tomorrow’s gratitudesWorking with Dr. Joe Dispenza & Becoming SupernaturalTim first met Dr. Joe at a workshop in 2010 and recognized him as a key teacherLiving in Dr. Joe’s material for years as the editor of Becoming SupernaturalDream Tethering: Creating the Life of Your DreamsDream Tethering as pulling your dream to you instead of chasing it.Being the vortex and torus fieldThe Circletron: A New Model of Self-ActualizationConcentric circles representing different levels of consciousness and possibilityEach ring made of many points: “possibilities in space and time”Early life: expanding out, exploring experiences; later life: returning toward the centerThe Circletron as a torus field—a dynamic, circulating field of energy and experienceTo get to the next level of consciousness you must overcome at least one of:FearTraumaLimited thinkingStaying stuck at one level when you don’t face those thresholdsTime as a River of Information, Downloads, and The Fractal Present MomentTime as a river of information flowing through usThe more present we are, the more information we are aware ofDifferent kinds of “downloads”Threshold Species & Conscious MediaWe’re in the “birth canal” of a new phase of human evolution—painful but purposefulHumanity as a threshold species recognizing we are more energy than matter.The press as a “perception machine” that hijacks fear and divides.Why artists, leaders, and conscious storytellers are essential lighthouses for a new earth in a noisy world.If this conversation resonates, please share it with a friend who is following their creative calling and on their path of awakening.Links:Forrest's WebsiteHire Forrest as a CoachForrestBWilson on InstagramTheRealTimShields.comTheRealTimShields on InstagramListen to Forrest on Episode 32 of Tim's Podcast, The Inciting Incident
