By Colin Karewa Forbes, CFO

Most utopian concepts fail. Most collectives fracture. Most visions get lost in translation. But Cosmos will succeed, and the reason is simple: it is aligned with the deeper current of our time.

We are entering the Aquarian age — not as astrology-as-fashion, but as archetype-as-reality. This is the era when sovereignty and collectivity converge: the many acting as one, without dissolving the one. Cosmos is built for that convergence.

1. It’s Timely

We live in a moment when more people than ever are waking up to the fact that their energy is being harvested. Social media algorithms, corporate platforms, even politics itself are designed to feed on human attention, emotion, and creativity. People are hungry for sovereignty — a way to share without being consumed.

This is precisely the Aquarian shift: the collective expanding simultaneously, each individual a sovereign node, yet linked in a network of amplification. No more extraction. No more puddles pretending to be oceans. Cosmos is the constellation model — many lights shining together, brighter because they belong to each other.

2. It’s Structured Right

Aquarian expansion needs containers strong enough to hold the current. That’s what the co-op form provides. It prevents concentration of power in one owner, one algorithm, one manipulator. Instead, it distributes authority and responsibility.

Cosmos is not another puddle asking us to pour ourselves in. It’s a vessel built to circulate life-force back into the people who generate it. The structure itself enacts the Aquarian truth: we rise together or not at all.

3. It’s Fueled by Infinity

At the heart of this shift is a simple reality: human beings aren’t batteries for someone else’s machine. We are sources. Each person carries infinite Loosh — infinite life-force — but most of us have forgotten how to feel it, how to be guardians of our own Loosh rather than leak it to systems that harvest it.

Cosmos succeeds because it reminds people of their own infinity, and then provides a space where that infinity multiplies through relationship. It isn’t just another content platform. It’s a resonance field, a commons where sovereignty and Oneness reinforce one another.

“Learn to open the tap. Know that the water isn’t yours. Drink, share, but don’t build a cult around the pipe that delivers the water.”

4. It’s Aquarian at Every Level

The lone-star model of the past — genius leaders, charismatic prophets, monopolist owners — is collapsing. That’s Piscean hierarchy. The Aquarian alternative is constellations: distributed brilliance, each node shining its own light, bound by mutual gravity.

Cosmos isn’t asking us to worship another pipe. It’s teaching us to recognize ourselves as the living Source, and to build the pipes together. The meek — those who recognize the water isn’t theirs — inherit the earth, because they know how to share the stream.

Building Constellations

Cosmos isn’t just a co-op. It’s a template for what comes next. It aligns with the archetype of the Aquarian age, where collective expansion is the law, and sovereignty is the fuel. It gives us a way to feel our own infinity without being drained, to build constellations rather than empires.

“Feeling our own infinity is not a foreign feeling. It’s the most familiar thing we ever feel — we’ve just forgotten how to attribute its Origin correctly.”

Why This Leadership Team and Community Will Succeed

Cosmos is not built on the vision of one person — it is carried forward by a constellation of leaders and community members who embody the principles we stand for. Each brings their unique gifts while holding the whole.

Marco V Morelli: The Integrative Visionary

Marco is not simply the founder of Cosmos Co-op — he is its embodiment. His life has braided together philosophy, literature, activism, and spiritual practice into a form that mirrors the co-op itself: integrative, multi-voiced, and alive to the great questions of our time.

From co-authoring Integral Life Practice to curating Metapsychosis, Marco has spent decades weaving diverse wisdom streams into coherent wholes. He builds containers, not cults — creating platforms like Infinite Conversations, Untimely Books, and Cosmos Café that decentralize wisdom and honor sovereignty. He is a deep listener, a cultivator of others’ voices, an editor who can see potential and midwife it into form.

His forthcoming poetry project I AM THE SINGULARITY grapples with the very threshold we’re living through. He doesn’t just imagine the Aquarian future — he already lives it. Cosmos isn’t his personal brand or empire; it is the form his life’s work naturally demanded.

C. Savery: The Integral Organizer

C. is the kind of leader who understands that real transformation requires both vision and structure. As Interim Chief Executive Organizer and co-founder, she brings 13 years of experience in organizational development and cooperative consulting — not theory, but lived practice building social enterprises across Colorado’s Front Range.

What makes C. special is her integration of business acumen with deep spiritual and systemic wisdom. She’s a mystic, author, and performance artist who founded Fractal Praxis, a dharma framework for realigning with living systems’ wisdom. From 2016 to 2019, she intensively incubated the business and organizational model for Cosmos. She doesn’t just consult on cooperatives — she lives and breathes the cooperative model, having co-founded over a dozen social enterprises. C. ensures that Cosmos isn’t just another platform, but a living system designed to circulate life-force back to its members.

Geoffreyjen Edwards: The Polymath Bridge-Builder

Geoffreyjen is what happens when rigorous science meets expansive imagination. Before becoming a science-fiction writer, they led a successful career as a scientist, publishing over 250 papers across fields as diverse as astrophysics, artificial intelligence, geomatics, design, disability studies, and performing arts. Now, as Editor-in-Chief of Untimely Books and Senior Editor of Metapsychosis Journal, they bring that same breadth and rigor to Cosmos.

What I appreciate about Geoffreyjen is their ability to hold complexity without losing coherence. They’re writing an ambitious 15-book science fiction saga while simultaneously serving on the Synergy Circle and leading reading groups that bridge multiple wisdom traditions. They understand that the future requires both precise thinking and wild creativity — and they embody both. Their work ensures that Cosmos remains intellectually rigorous while staying imaginatively alive.

Ellen Cool: The Network Weaver

Ellen is a lifelong futurist, environmentalist, and transpersonal educator who brings decades of experience in transformative education and somatic psychology. She earned her PhD in Transformative Studies and Consciousness from CIIS, with doctoral work exploring early childhood as a gateway to societal transformation. Ellen has been involved with Cosmos on and off for almost a decade, and now in retirement, she’s focusing her energy on what she does best: connecting people.

As Community Outreach & Network Liaison, Ellen understands that community isn’t just about gathering people — it’s about weaving networks of genuine relationship that can hold both support and challenge. She’s a movement specialist who knows how to create the conditions for authentic connection and mutual flourishing. Her warmth, care, and practical wisdom make her the kind of person who can link individuals and organizations in ways that amplify everyone’s capacity. She’s living proof that the Aquarian shift requires both vision and the patient, loving work of building real relationships.

The Cosmos Community: The Living Constellation

Beyond the leadership team, what makes Cosmos work is the constellation of community members — writers, artists, thinkers, and seekers who show up with authenticity and commitment. In my short time here, I’ve already felt the quality of presence that people bring: the willingness to be real, to think deeply, to create courageously, and to support one another.

This isn’t a community built on personality worship or hierarchy. It’s a network of sovereign individuals who recognize that their light shines brighter when connected to others. That’s the Aquarian model in action — not theory, but lived practice.

Why This Team Will Succeed

This leadership team and community succeed because they embody what Cosmos stands for:

They hold the integrative vision — bringing together diverse perspectives and wisdom traditions into coherent wholes without flattening difference.

They build containers, not cults — creating structures that distribute authority and honor each person’s sovereignty while fostering genuine collaboration.

They listen as much as they lead — cultivating space for all voices while providing the clarity and direction needed to move forward together.

They are attuned to the epoch — sensing the cultural, spiritual, and social shifts of our time and responding with creativity and courage.

They align with Aquarian values — not as abstract ideals, but as lived practice: decentralization, co-creation, and collective awakening through individual sovereignty.

My Resonance with Cosmos

“I resonate with Cosmos because my life’s work has been about integration too — bringing together philosophy, spirituality, and lived experience into a coherent practice. I don’t just study Oneness, I’ve lived it, and I’ve built frameworks like the Construct to give others a way to access and sustain that awareness.

I know Cosmos isn’t about one person’s empire, but about building the constellation — and that’s how I work too. I thrive in dialogue, in presence, in community. I know how to turn lived experience into language and symbol that others can feel, not just read. That’s what makes me a fit: I can bring my resonance into the circle so it amplifies everyone else’s and I’ll never worship someone else’s pipe!”
