We humans are in the middle of a paradigm shift. We are transitioning from a materialistic, atomistic world view to one which is characterized by wholeness. Our ego-based, rationalistic approach has emphasized separateness: animate opposed to inanimate, person against person, species against species, belief against belief, species against planet. We see differences and distinctions and hold our selves as the center of the universe. Our attitude tends to be,"hooray for me, to hell with you."

We have enjoyed unprecedented material success by applying the mechanistic world view. We have also brought our species to the brink of extinction.

Science, one of mankind's crowning achievements, has provided the major conceptual tools for our conquest of the planet and all that lives within it. Now science, in probing the deep nature of matter, is beginning to expose a nature that deviates from the materialistic, deterministic model of reality that was formerly upheld. Now scientists are making discoveries that mirror statements found in mankind's most ancient spiritual texts.

We live in a time when diverse descriptions of the nature of reality are beginning to merge and to reinforce each other. We live in a time that will see a major shift in the consciousness of humanity as a whole. The beginnings of this epochal shift have long been underway. The pace of related changes is accelerating and becoming more apparent daily.

We humans are progressively realizing that all of existence is intimately interrelated. We are realizing that objectivity is a myth. We are realizing that the world resembles a great thought more than it resembles a great machine. We are recognizing the premier power of thought in the shaping of our world. We are realizing our kinship to all that is. In short, we humans are undergoing a rapid evolution of consciousness.

It is my goal to discuss the changes that I see and to hear about what you are seeing. It is my goal to connect with people who are, in some sense, like minded. Jump in, the water's fine.
