A Spiritually Inspired Future (Video)

by Tom Huston

What is driving us as we look towards the future? Is it fear of disaster or is it a spiritually inspired motivation to create a better world? This past Sunday, December 5, EnlightenNext founder Andrew Cohen joined Deepak Chopra for a discussion of these questions and others in a public dialogue hosted by New York’s Urban Zen Center (founded by Donna Karan). Moderated by political commentator Arianna Huffington, the wide-ranging conversation was a tremendous success and offered a compelling exploration of the role of Spirit in today’s world. If you missed the live event or webstream, you can now watch the 2-hour video recording for free online (scroll down) and you can also read a summary of the event by Alison Rose Levy on The Huffington Post (her post includes photos as well). Here’s an excerpt: Continue reading…

A Live Meeting of Global Evolutionary Leaders

by Joel Pitney

Over the past two years, EnlightenNext‘s Executive Editor Carter Phipps has been participating in a kind of global think tank for conscious evolution called the Evolutionary Leaders group. This meeting of what was initially 38 people, including Deepak Chopra, Michael Beckwith, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Jean Houston, Brian Swimme, Steve McIntosh, Don Beck and many more, started in 2008 with a “A Call for Conscious Evolution” petition that was signed by over 36,000 people worldwide. Since then the group has met consistently both virtually and in person, started to work on a variety of projects including a potential book and documentary, and has grown to over 50 people, including EnlightenNext founder Andrew Cohen.

This week, Cohen, Phipps and the rest of the Evolutionary Leaders are convening in Los Angeles for their most significant meeting to date: a week-long retreat that will include a live public event tonight from 7:30-9:30 pm PST. Continue reading…

And the winner is…

by Joel Pitney

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Deepak’s Four Questions contest. Last week we asked you to submit your answers to the four questions that Chopra posed to our listeners during last month’s virtual seminar and we’ve received over 100 responses to the challenge. After careful consideration, we’ve selected our favorite set of answers, which we feel best captures the spirit of the evolutionary worldview. For his efforts, Pablo Morano, from Chile, will win a free premier level registration for our upcoming virtual course, The Evolutionary’s Guide to Changing the World.

Here are his winning answers:

1. What kind of world do you want to live in and what kind of world do you want your children and grandchildren to live in?

A world where people understand that they shape it with every thought and create it with every action. Where people can be able to see that everyone who lived, lives, and will live on the planet actually is part of the whole system.

2. What is your role in bringing this about?

I search, think, act, and inspire. I see my role as an enabler of things, opening views, provoking a new worldview, and helping shape the system of the future from inside out.

3. Regarding the organizations that you’re part of, what kind of team do you want to have and what kind of relationship do you want to have with this team?

I would like to have a team that can see the world as a whole, yet knowing how to make use of their skills and knowledge to fulfill their purpose and the purpose of the whole system. I want to be able to inspire them all, to help them see how they can contribute, aligning their passion with the world and keep evolving together. I want to be a reflection of their hopes and be in a place where I can help them become more complete as human beings at the same time they do so with others.

4. What do you see as the primary need in our current cultural moment?

I see there is a strong need for a spiritual connection, for re-understanding the “cliché” that we are spirits living in a human experience in the sense that we can balance our experience as a physical being with it. It is a need to create a culture of consciousness beyond just oneself and the need to understand and act like there are more around us, and each has a space in this world.

We’d like to thank everyone who took the time to participate. There were so many thoughtful and passionate responses, it made our decision very difficult! Congratulations, Pablo! Continue reading…

Think About This: Creative Friction (VIDEO)

by Joel Pitney
