Evolution Spirituality

Evolution means the process of change, particularly as it relates to the processes of physical change of the physical universe throughout its history.Evolution Spirituality is not just evolutionary and cosmological science where appropriate it also integrates the most life affirming wisdom from humanity's spiritual heritage to deepen the meanings discovered by the facts of science.

Evolution Spirituality:

1.) embraces progressive evolutionary science and the newest discoveries of cosmology.

2.) embraces and integrates the most life-affirming wisdom and tools from all of humanity's spiritual heritage to deepen the meanings discovered by the facts of evolutionary and cosmological science.

3.) enhances and embraces much of what is know as today's eco-spirituality movement. It

is sometimes also called evolution eco-spirituality.

4.) embraces the evolutionary history of spirituality and religion while simultaneously being engaged in evolutionizing current spirituality and religion.

5.) is a type of omni-denominationaland trans-denominational meta-spirituality and meta-religion.

6.) is embraced and embodied in its basic in a practical sense within the new Universe Principles of Sustainability.

WHAT IS EVOLUTIONARY SPIRITUALITY?

Evolutionary spirituality is an integral way of thinking and being in the world grounded in a personal, meaningful experience of the epic of evolution as ones own creation myth, or cosmological sacred story.

What distinguishes evolutionary spirituality from other meaningful approaches to life is its celebration of cosmic history as sacred revelation. Such an inclusive approach provides common ground for all religious and non-religious alike. It supports appreciative ways of thinking about the past, enlightened ways of being in the present, and empowering ways of imagining the future, grounded in the most inspiring and subjectively truthful interpretations presently available of objectively true scientific facts and widely accepted theories based on those facts.

EVOLUTIONARY EMERGENCE (Directionality )

While every religious tradition will necessarily mythologize cosmic history differently, all will share a similar, if not identical, scientific understanding. Evolutionary spirituality in all its myriad of forms is rooted deeply in what the majority of the worlds scientists hold to be true, real, verifiable. Heres one articulation of the basic flow of the evolutionary epic

Everything is in a time-developmental process. Galaxies evolve. Solar systems and planets evolve. Continents, oceans, mountains, and rivers evolve. Bacteria, plants, and animals evolve. And human consciousness, culture, and technologies evolve. Everything is in a developmental process. Everything is interconnected and interrelated. And nothing is itself without everything else.

From the perspective of the whole, evolution clearly evidences directionality. The universe has become increasingly complex over time, with each stage building upon and incorporating earlier stages. The galactic era, for example, emerged out of and integrated (i.e., transcended and included) the radiation era. In the biological era, life has repeatedly discovered ways to create cooperative, interdependent wholes out of self-interested, formerly competitive parts, and then do the same thing at a higher, or wider, level of organization.

Cooperative groups of self-replicating molecular processes formed the first simple cells. Groups of these cells formed larger and more complex cells, and these in turn formed cooperative groups of cells that become multicellular organisms. Groups of multicellular organisms formed cooperative insect societies and human social systems.

In the human realm this process has continued and expanded considerably over the past 100,000 years. Initially cooperation existed only within small family groups. Since then, cooperative organizations have progressively expanded in scale to produce multi-family bands, then tribes, then agricultural communities, cities, and empires, then nation states, and now some forms of economic and social cooperation that span the globe.

This direction is progressive. Each stage transcends and includes (incorporates and builds upon) earlier stages. The vital point to remember, however, is this: This process has happened successfully in evolutionary history only when the system becomes self-organized or self-governed in such a way that it is genuinely in the interests of the parts to cooperate in the service of the whole that is, where they benefit by doing so and/or suffer in some way by not doing so.

Mission Statement of Evolutionary Spirituality- Virtual Circle

1. To co-create an enduring group of loving spirits with the genuine capacity to transmit presence, compassion, authenticity, empathy, and sympathetic joy. 2. To move the Circle toward an integral evolutionary spiritual culture. 3. To nurture individuals with the urge to co-create a unified culture. 4. To foster the mutual discovery of truth without dogma. 5. To create a spiritual environment that is favorable to experiencing a collective unified state of consciousness. 6. To share, reflect, and assimilate traditional spiritual teachings that relate to evolution. 7. To meditate on the source of the spiritual teachings and bring awakening into ones lives. 8. To reach our higher creative potentials and capacities without an increased sense of self. 9. To continually evolve our integral spiritual practice and our mission. 10. To birth a Universal Humanity.

Joining together, we can guide our Earth community into its next evolutionary stage. Barbara Marx Hubbard

Requirements: Computer, internet access, web camera with microphone, free Google+ Hangout.

Join us monthly to keep your spiritual momentum going!
