A lot of new information has evolved since Darwin’s original theory of evolution. The new post-Darwinian theories and qualifications of evolution can tangibly teach us how to live more integral and successful lives and, they show us how evolution has repeatedly solved problems such as global warming by replacing destructive competition with larger-scale cooperative organization. The ground-breaking Evolutionary Manifesto by John Stewart contains a new evolutionary way to see the planet and live ethically.

Looking for some guidance along the progressive evolutionary path? We’ve got just the thing for you! It's Evolution 2.0's meta-principles for creating a sustainable prosperity provide a science-grounded way of structuring our lives so as to act in alignment with the progressive evolution of the universe. They are the biological secrets of life. Adopt these principles of right attitude and right action and we’re sure that you’ll find great improvements taking place in your life--and correspondingly, in the life of your family, organization or company. We encourage you to read the principles, meditate on them and actively try to incorporate them into your life for at least ninety days. The universe has laid it out all out for us--the path to success is there if we want it. Read on to find out more about these actions that will help you optimize your life success!

We, as planetary citizens of the universe stand at a critical moment in the history of the universe and of this planet. This is a time when humanity must choose its future. As this planet becomes increasingly inter-dependent, the future at once holds great peril and great promise. To move forward we must recognize that in the midst of a magnificent diversity of cultures and life forms we are one human, planetary and universe family with a common destiny. We must join together to bring forth a sustainable planetary society founded on the testable principles of the universe's progressive evolution and respect for nature, universal human rights, economic justice, universal human responsibilities and a culture of peace. Towards this end, it is imperative that we, the people of the universe and this planet Earth, declare our responsibility to one another, to the greater universe community of life, and to the future generations who will inhabit both the planet and beyond it into the Universe. To this end we present a new Universe Charter to help map out the path that we must all walk together.  

How do we GLOBALLY accelerate and capture the momentum of what is already going on in terms of the growing awareness amongst political, corporate, and grass root leaders?    How do we most effectively inform a global movement that is ensured to have success in reaching the critical mass that is necessary to tip the scale for massive collective change? We are at the beginning of a new UNISANCE, a renaissance of new thought and awakened collective consciousness,  it is an EMERGING collective reverence and understanding of the miracle of our beingness in the universe. We have arrived at a CRITICAL PATH in human history where it is prudent and necessary to expand our collective metaphors,’ that informs our values and ethics.  We must look beyond our current cultural, political, economical partial views and perspectives.  It is due time to facilitate a new framework of metaphors’ that informs and habituates a sustainable global culture that includes and celebrates all our collective partial views of the past, and is more appropriately framed in alignment with what we are coming to know about ourselves and our universe. 

Evolutionary thinking is the zeitgeist of the 21st century. Not since the Copernican Revolution have we experienced comparable revelations about the natural world and our place in the universe. How will society ultimately reconcile science and religion? "Marry them!" exclaims Reverend Michael Dowd, author of THANK GOD FOR EVOLUTION: How The Marriage of Science and Religion Will Transform Your Life and Our World. Michael Dowd, a minister and author, and Connie Barlow, a biologist and author, have created and facilitated a body of work consisting of numerous books, educational programs, and DVD’s that are ground breaking and inspiring. They articulate an inclusive and a transcendent vision of a universe that has creatively conspired for our individual and collective greater learning and becoming.  Our cosmic and terrestrial place in history is to be understood and embraced from an emerging inclusive perspective in harmony with our sciences, including and honoring the many partial views expressed in myths and stories that have guided and inspired our collective journey. Their contribution is informing a spirituality in harmony with an engaged sustainable living ecology. "Creation and evolution are one and the same," explains Dowd. "Science and religion go hand in hand. One without the other leaves humanity lost in the literature, searching in vain for answers to post-modern problems in ancient religious texts written when people believed the world was flat. Only by looking through evolutionary eyes can we see our way out of the current global integrity crisis that is destroying economies and  ecosystems around the world.”

“We are beings of cosmic connection who are learning to live in a living universe…” Our Supreme Test and Time of Initiation

Evolution moves forward on a bending curve and there is no going back. The starting gun of history has gone off, and humanity is moving rapidly into a new world. We humans have always been tested by adversity. However, our current times are unique in one crucial respect - and this makes all the difference. The circle has closed and there is no escape. Now the entire Earth and whole human community is at risk. Now the entire human species must deal with the reality of climate disruption (with resulting crop failures and famine), the dwindling supply of cheap energy, an enormous global population with most people living on the edge of subsistence, a massive wave of extinction of plants and animals, the spread of weapons of mass destruction in an ever more interdependent world, and much more. All of these are occurring at the same time the global communications revolution is making the world transparent to itself. Our supreme test is to grow consciously into this new world and learn to live in balance with the Earth, in peace with one another, and in gratitude with the living universe.  

"The circle has closed and there is no escape. Now the entire Earth and whole human community is at risk." 

The View from the Center of the Universe takes on big questions: the nature of time and our place in the cosmos (bigger than we might imagine, they suggest). They remind us, in case we've forgotten, that we're made of stardust.  Written by a duo consisting of a cosmologist and a philosopher, this very important and fascinating book powerfully describes the scope and depth of human connections to our universe. The very revolutionary concepts and implications of the modern understanding of time, space, dark matter, dark energy, eternal inflation, and the stardust filling our bodies,  affect our feelings about ourselves and our future.  Drawing lessons from the history of creation myths in many cultures, and from the changing perspectives of science over the centuries, the authors paint a comprehensive picture of the value of our place in the universe as we now know it, and the very opportunities for action in this critical century. 

Their well-supported admonition to "think cosmically, act globally" can be a vital guide to build a "sustainable prosperity."  This topic demands the attention at a time when our impact on our home planet is rising dramatically, as are conflicts between science and religions.  So far, scientists have not succeeded in helping most people sense meaning or purpose when considering the vastness of space that astronomy has revealed over the past few hundred years.  The View from the Center of the Universe has big ambitions and a novel approach for conveying the content and excitement of the current revolution in cosmology. If your curious about all of the big theories of the universe's evolution explained simply or, your interests are in looking at the really big history of everything, life and the big meaning of it all, this amazingly well written new book is a must read for everyone who wants to know more about the ultimate physical "big picture." Our staff who have read it absolutely love what it has done for expanding their perspectives on supporting and living a prosperous sustainability. 

This article is based in part upon the universe and progressive evolutionary science and theories expressed by Teilhard De Chardin, Erich Jantsch, John Stewart, Duane Elgin, Michael Dowd, Connie Barlow, Nancy Ellen Abrams, Brian Swimme, Thomas Berry, Joel Primack, David Christian, David Ray Griffin, Sri Aurobindo, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Ken Wilber, Andrew Cohen, Steve McIntosh as well as numerous other evolution theorists, scientists, authors and speakers. The universe success action principles below are useful to anyone who wants to create an authentic life congruent with the REAL life processes of the universe and who seeks to create a sustainable and thriving life and planet. It is ideal for anyone who considers themselves a cultural creative, big history student, sustainability advocate, integral evolutionary, eco-spirituality practitioner or environmentalist.) This article is an integral, comprehensive statement containing the universe evolutionary principles in two complimentary flavors; success-action power principles and result-conditioning "in the zone" flow principles. As you review them, you may also discover that these universe principles both transcend and yet still include the most life-affirming perspectives and the classic virtues of humanity’s greatest philosophic and spiritual wisdom traditions. When both types of the universe principles are integrated into one's life they also become a de facto lifestyle practices guide and new ethical code for conscious evolutionaries, effective principles for effective evolutionary activism, a good collective statement of the core attributes of progressive evolution and even a partial sense of the emerging values, perspectives and principles of the New Universe Evolutionary Worldview...

This article by John Stewart is the must-read "how to" manual for every conscious evolutionary and sustainability or environmental advocate!  It is a detailed principle-by-principle strategic instruction manual for consciously advancing the evolutionary process on this planet as an active co-creator with evolution. It contains step-by-step strategies for effectively growing the conscious evolutionary movement to better create a sustainable global society and to deal with global warming. As a master plan for conscious evolutionaries world-wide, it even describes how to use the resources of governments, corporations and other institutions to these worthy ends as well as how to build the individual and collective evolutionary intelligences needed for global sustainability and optimizing one's own life. We at Universe Spirit have posted this article because we believe that it is now Job 1 for every spiritual person on earth who honors that Ultimate Reality that interconnects all things to be aware of how to be a better steward of our planet's vitality and resources as well as know how to work together with others to solve the pending environmental problems that directly and imminently threaten the future of the current and future generations.
