Consciousness, like the weather, gets endlessly talked about yet nothing done about. We will change that right now. We will come home to our truest nature and resolve every persistent metaphysical and epistemological problem in the bargain. The Promise Premise is the primariest of principles, proposing that Universal Mind makes matter via the mechanism of the moment of choice in every individuated mind. The concept comes from Gary Renard’s *The Disappearance of the Universe,* a backstory to *A Course in Miracles.* The cascading binary tree model at the heart of it harks back to the Pythagorean emanation of The Monad. Meanwhile, the purported dynamics of quantum superposition turn out to match the mechanism of a mind deciding in favor of Spirit vs matter. So: Quantum Pythagoreanism? Methodology has included direct and indirect personal experiences of trauma and transformation, bibliographic research in psychology, philosophy, history, anthropology and spiritual traditions, training in core sciences, experiments in spiritual and psychological practices, abductive classical reasoning and fundamental quantum logic. The Promise Premise identifies the mechanism of transformation and lays out the map of the “Cognosphere.” This insight optimizes every human’s experience…and ideally, facilitates the quantum uplift of humanity’s current moment. The introductory poster presentation may encompass verbal, visual and visceral modalities, according to opportunity and interest. It paves the way for the eventual *A Theory of Everything—the Musical!,* a multi-media extravaganza.
