WHAT IS CONSCIOUS EVOLUTION?
Due to the increased power given us through science and technology,
we are learning how nature works – the gene, the atom, the brain. We
are affecting our own evolution by everything we do. With these new
powers we can destroy our life support systems …or we can move toward a
hope-filled future of immeasurable possibilities.
We are the generation of choice, and we do not have much time to choose!
Conscious Evolution is the worldview that has arisen precisely at
this moment in history to deal with the new human condition. It is a
vision and a direction to help us navigate through this transitional
period to the next stage of human evolution. As Einstein admonished,
humankind cannot solve its problems from the same place of
consciousness in which we created them. A new place of consciousness is
required.
In simple terms Conscious Evolution takes place when we intend to
grow in consciousness and use our increasing awareness to guide our
actions and achieve a positive future.
Bela H. Banathy, author of Guided Evolution of Society, offers this additional understanding of Conscious Evolution:
It is a process by which we can individually and collectively take responsibility for our future.
It is a process of giving direction to the evolution of human systems by purposeful action.
And most importantly, Conscious Evolution enables us, if we take
responsibility for it, to use our creative power to guide our own lives
and the evolution of the systems and the communities in which we live
and work. It is a process by which individuals and groups, families,
organizations, and societies can envision and create images of what
should be, and bring those images to life by design.
Conscious Evolution is at the core a spiritually-motivated endeavor.
Its precepts reside at the heart of every great faith, affirming that
humans have the potential of being cocreators with Spirit, with the
deeper patterns of nature and universal design.
The promise of Conscious Evolution is nothing less than the
emergence of a universal humanity capable of its guiding its own
evolution into a future of unimaginable cocreativity.
