THE ENCOUNTER

Empowered leadership is not frightened of being vulnerable. Therefore I thought it would be useful to briefly share my own divine experience that changed everything, and me.

It is from this wellspring of living knowledge — a field of loving kindness and intelligence — that I guide and teach transformation within the Universal Human Academy.

There is no other way of saying this. At nineteen, I was taken into Heaven.

It was within this all-encompassing living field of love — one that wholeheartedly embraced my entire being — that I met the Cosmic Christ: a presence of pure intelligence, alive and unshakably loving, at the heart of everything.

Within that magnificent and life-changing encounter I experienced a living Kingdom of Heaven: not some remote plane of existence in the sky, not a reward waiting beyond this life, but a living plane of beauty and extraordinary consciousness that exists within every soul and flows throughout the reality within which we all live.

As you might expect, I came back changed — with gifts, capacities, ways of seeing, ways of operating in that living field of consciousness that is still unfolding to this day. And I came back with something I didn't yet fully understand: a mandate, forty years later, to teach others to access their own living Divine Heart.

Three months after experiencing Heaven, I then experienced Hell.

Bizarrely, the very institution that claimed to speak for Christ turned on me. Three years of persecution and oppression that created wounds which ran forty years deep, intended to prevent the shining of my Divine Heart into the world.

As I have discovered in my own journey of healing, nothing can stop the loving power of the Divine Heart. Through four decades of unpacking what I had been shown, walking the mystical path with the Cosmic Christ, I came to know — not believe, but know — who we truly are, why we are here, and where we are heading.

Everything I have built since flows from that wellspring of love.

My global leadership across emerging technology — the Internet of Things, smart cities, unlocking  the ethics for artificial intelligence and Ethical AI — did not come from ambition or market logic. It came from a single vision: an understanding of how the digital world is shaping human consciousness, and a determination to direct that world toward awakening rather than control.

The technologies were never the sacred thing. The vision behind them was — to help shape a world that serves humanity's divine evolution:  a dream for our world to become a soul-centered civilization.

Let me be clear about the one thing that matters most. What I was shown is that the Kingdom is already within you, exactly as it is within me. I am not your intermediary. I am a witness — someone who went ahead, was broken and remade, and came back to tell you the door is real.

This is why the Universal Human Academy exists: to guide you into direct access with your own Soul and into the loving field of intelligence, so you can awaken your own gifts, discover your own Kingdom, and step into the divine being you already are.

The full revelation — what I was shown, and what it means for your soul in the Age of AI — will be revealed in my next book, EMERGENCE!

In closing, this is not a religious doctrine, but rather a metaphysical and spiritual one. Your own journey with your Divine Heart is precious, and is yours alone. I am here to walk alongside you into the full YES of who you are — and for you to become the being you were always destined to become.

Therefore, if you feel the call to a new life adventure, or something within you is curious or stirring to experience new growth, then I warmly invite you to come and experience your own Divine Heart for yourself.

From my heart to yours,

Matthew
