What thoughts go through your mind when you hear the word “coma”? Do you joke about it, or do you take it seriously? At difficult times in your life, do you find yourself asking the question why am I in this situation?

If the answer is YES, then you are ready to wake-up your truth, from living an illusion and being in a “technological coma” that is stripping you off your true identity, your freedom, happiness, and most importantly the time you have left in this world.

Truth is, for many of you, the word “coma” is associated with someone who has had some kind of accident or life-threatening illness that stops them from responding to any outside stimulus such as touch, voices, other sounds, or any sort of activity going on nearby. Some of you may even jokingly use the word “coma” to describe people who don’t pay attention, are sleeping deeply, or not fulfilling their true potential.

But the kind of “coma2 I am talking about has nothing to do with effects of a physical injury. It has to do with:

The psychological, behavioural, and habitual changes that are happening at a speed of light due to rapid social, technological, and economic advancements are forcing many of us to be glued and married to our phones, ipads, and countless applications designed to rob us off or priceless time and give us an instant dopamine fix.

Recall the last situation that you were in. Where you on a date, with a friend having dinner, in a social gathering, family event, or at an important meeting at work? Now, see if you can recall how many times did you or the people you were with checked and did some kind of activity on their phones?

Do you or did anyone you were with took the time to switch-off from technology and the associated applications that increase your cortisol levels thus inducing more stress and anxiety in your life?

Did you know that by not doing so, the message you are subconsciously sending to the other person when you constantly check your phone for facebook updates, what’s up messages and Instagram likes is that of “ I have something more important to do, I value something else, I don’t value your time, etc.” The bottom line is, the other person may come to their own conclusion that being with you is a total waste of time and you don’t truly value their time and them.

Perhaps you have a friend who on moments notice cancels that movie-date, exhibition you were looking forward to seeing, or simply catching with them over a coffee and decides to honour another engagement. If you do, then you may want to look deeper within you the reasons this person is still in your life.

Over time I have let go many people whose behaviours and values were different to mines and the kind of meaningful, trustworthy and loving relationship I love enjoying in my daily life.

The countless dopamine fix behaviours we have developed are not only destroying the social fabric of a healthy society, business success and the relationships we have built over a lifetime, but they are also fuelling the global problems that mankind is facing and is looking to solve.

Some to mention are the threat of terrorist attacks, extremism, extreme levels of poverty, unfair wealth distribution, the spread of HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases, supply of clean water, providing universal primary, secondary, and university education, managing cultural, generational and gender differences, dealing with high divorce rates and instilling the morals and ethics in the “millennials” that may save humanity from destroying itself.

In my multi-award winning book # Loneliness, I call this new phenomenon, the virus of the modern age. If not caught, stopped, and cleaned in the now, it will continue to spread globally at uncontrollable rates infecting everyone with behaviours, beliefs, and actions that may take mankind into an irreversible trajectory of self-destruction.

This new gold rush for dopamine fix is also affecting every family, every relationship, and every business across the world. Many business leaders and CEO’s that seek my help to address various personal, leadership and people problems felt that many of their workers are asleep.

Some event felt that the “millennials” are to blame because they are a generation of entitlement, narcissist, self-focused, and lazy people. Unless this problem is addressed and alleviated in the now, many people will lose their jobs, some businesses will stop to exist, and those who survive will deploy Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Perhaps now is the time to wake-up humanity from this coma that pushes us to seek friendship in social networks with people we never met, create and buy AI pets, sex, sales, police and soldier robots to satisfy our endless needs.

Recently I gave a TEDx talk titled “Technological Armageddon: A Wake-Up Call” based from a chapter in my book #Loneliness that so far hundred thousands of people have watched and shared it across various social media channels. In a nutshell, this talk is a global call for us to remember what makes us human being and not human doings that we are more and more forced to become.

More than ever the world needs emotionally intelligent, humanity focused, and heart awakened women leaders that play an important role in the evolution of human consciousness and in the direction the world we all share is taking.

With Brexit, Syrian refugee crisis, and the rise of unprecedented extremism, nationalism, fascism, phobias, antisemitism, islamophobia, etc, it is essential to have conscious women leaders who like James Bond, can overcome the toughest challenges presented to them and from the ashes rise triumphantly like a phoenix.

Many of us grew up with super heroes like James Bond, Captain America, Jean Luke Pickard, Superman, Wonder woman, Madonna, Lady Gaga, and Oprah being our hero’s that we aspire to become.

The time has come for us all to do our part and awaken the hero within, to take action, be engaged, and have our say in the global crisis that in one form or another impacts every human being.

I grew up in the ghettos of a small town called Gostivar in western Macedonia at times where daily I saw women being abused, judged, and had very little human rights. As I started to travel around the world, I realized, just like my mother, sisters, cousins, and other women I knew back at home, millions of women continue to be treated badly.

As a kid, I knew I was different, I felt the pain, the judgment, and the loneliness and the abuse that my mother and other women endured. Ever since I wanted to do something about it, this feeling to help women globally followed me through my entire life, and it is what also inspired me to be who I am today and in my latest book write about a global problem we all share-loneliness.

In my latest book #Loneliness-The Virus of The Modern Age, I share about the extraordinary work that mother Theresa did around the world. I also share what is at the source of the chaos, the storms, and the segregation we experience worldwide in an era that is technologically advanced yet makes us extremly lonely in our hearts.

To address the global problems such as famine, inequality, job losses, war, climate change, sustainability, etc, I believe more conscious women are required in order for humanity to find the solutions to the global problems that are on the rise.

Women have an important role in building a more just, equal, and harmonious society, and in directing the course of the planet we all live, share, and call home.

My mother, together with my dad, fought for educating, empowering, and supporting my sisters to be free of religious and political dogmas that imprisoned women, treated them as non-equals, and enslaved them. Today, I continue to support their mission by carry this torch of light that my parent ignited in me.

Through my day to day coaching, healing, consulting, and speaking engagements I assist many amazing women from all professions and background to step up into their true power, their hearts intelligence, and assist them create, build, and grow iconic businesses, products, and most of all an inner wisdom required to be conscious, healthy and wealthy leaders.

As openly gay man, I know from first-hand experience what it feels like to be different, to not fit the box that someone else created for you, and to not conform to societal expectations.

Millions of women around the world still continue to endure mental, physical, emotional and sexual abuse. If we are to change the course of the future that we all want, then we all need to do our part in assisting women grow into beautiful goddesses who with their wings of love, compassion, and understanding can embrace the darkness experienced globally and turn it into light that shine’s humanity’s path to a better future.

If you have read #Loneliness, you will know how throughout my life I, you, and many people who I have met on my path at some point in our lives we all felt the pain of being rejected, abandoned, and alone in a world where we come to express our true magnificent being that is infinite in our abilites to create and destroy life.

Throughout my life, starting from my mum, sisters, friends, work colleagues, teachers, healers, and many amazing women who crossed my path, they have helped on my journey to better myself and become who I am today.

Some of them are being nominated for the “Global Woman of the Year Award 2017” organised by Mirela Sula who founded Migrant and Global Women with a mission which aims to address the following questions:

The society we live in has a wide spectrum of patterns which unaware to us constantly transform our habits, behaviors and as a result the way in which we perceive our reality.

Each one of us exhibits a great quantum of psychological reactions as an automatic reflex respond directed toward the outer environmental appearances. In order to maintain an optimal social homeostasis, we constantly need to navigate our cognition in a multiple creative directions.

This is why we have the desire to feed our brain with information, learn new way of doing things, and new ways of thinking. Upgrading our cognition helps us to maintain and transform our energy into the fuel of infinite wisdom. It is our innate wisdom and the one we create through interaction with the outer world that generates the basic behavioral models in the society.

These models of our external reactions have to be decorated with the basic principles of a human morality and constructible ethic norms that compose healthy living environment where people can grow and progress. The hypothesis of the perfect chaos – resides exactly in the equation between our cognitive capacities versus social diffusion.

If we truly like to solve the chaos we observe in the world, the one which the way we are being we continue to create daily, we have to go back to the essence of our self-introspection. This essence is our primer mental layer, the one that is the stream of love, wisdom, and the one that knows how to produce infinite source of energy.

When our golden treasure that is buried deep within our mind and hearts is light with love, we have a flashlight that shines our path toward life of prosperity.

When the mental façades we have created since birth are removed, our super conscious brain comes alive. It is this process of inner awakening, balancing perceptions, and calming the emotions that keeps our cognition intact. It is this inner feeling of peace that helps us listen to our soul’s voice, and paint our heart with the strong paint of gratitude.

In my newly released book #Loneliness –The Virus of the Modern Age I talk about the impact that loneliness has on our cognitive abilities, on our mental health, and on our genes. Loneliness is a bigger problem than simply cognition and an emotional experience. Research shows that loneliness and social isolation are harmful to our mental, emotional, physical health.

Lacking social connections is a comparable risk factor for early death as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, and is worse for us than well-known risk factors such as obesity and physical inactivity.

We live in a connected world, yet we are desperately alone. We are alone in our thoughts, emotions, relationships, at work, with family, society, and in the world we all share. It has become the norm to look down at our phones, drink coffee with our phones and laptops, and commute with looking at phones never noticing anyone who may be near us.

Whilst on one hand the rise in technology has brought us so many wonderful new ways in connecting and doing business, on the other hand we must not under estimate the negative effect this have on human touch, connection, love.

One hand our cognitive abilities are increasing at phenomenal rates, on the other hand we experience more suicide, social isolation, and loneliness. Last twenty five years I adopted an elderly lady from Persia, who never got married, had estranged brother who never visited her, and had arthritis.

I was heartbroken to learn of her struggles, her story of her lifelong loneliness was the same as the one I talk about in my book, the same story that I observe in the clients I consult. It is the same story that you, your parents, children, colleagues, friends, and partners have. Loneliness is common to us all, it is my mother’s story who brought up six of us, yet she is alone, as life has taken us all to live and work in the six corners of the world.

Many elderly and parents globally experience the same loneliness, so do the children of these parents, so do you and I. I wrote this book as a global call for humanity to come together in heart cohesion and tackle the global problems from a new awareness. It is only when we connect in our hearts that we will experience the real cohesion between us and the environment we cohabit and immerse in the state of race, love and perfection.

Whether you know it or not, in the moment of your greatest inspiration you are in sync with all that is. Developing your cognition is what contributes to create a collective social cognition that is capable of resolving any problem that we create in the first instance.
