"Our loyalties are to the species and the planet. We speak for Earth. Our obligation to survive is owed not just to ourselves but also to that Cosmos, ancient and vast, from which we spring." Carl Sagan
"We do not belong to ourselves, even mostly. We belong to the universe." Buckminster Fuller
Evolutionaries are individuals who see themselves both as embedded in the evolutionary process and simultaneously and as proactive co-agents of evolution. As a major aspect of their lives they do their best to intentionally live out their evolutionary co-creative roles to help forward the progression of evolution.
Evolutionaries (aka Universe Evolutionaries, Evolutionists, Millennial Evolutionaries, Earth Evolutionaries, Integral Evolutionaries, Planetary Evolutionaries etc,) are true universe citizens who understand the integrated powers, rights and responsibilities of universe citizenship. They are individuals firmly grounded in evolutionary science and its principles who also are committed to:
a.) actively and consciously co-partnering with progressive evolution in the universe,
b.) living the science derived new Universe Evolutionary Principles of Sustainability, which help to create sustainable livelihoods and and lifestyles that also help to create an authentic sustainable prosperity,
c.) realizing the life and spirit potentials of the new and exciting Universe Evolutionary Worldview,
d.) achieving the goals of the Universe Charter, and if spiritually inclined
e.) living and integrating the most life-affirming wisdom of humanity's vast spiritual heritage in a new individual and community spiritual form known as Evolution Spirituality.
f.) dealing with the escalating threat to the existence of humanity and future generations now caused by increasing global warming, which will soon lead to irreversible climate destabilization. At this particular time in human history, the most practical and important first life practice for all Universe Evolutionaries and Universe Citizens to do is to creatively use the best of science to rapidly eliminate the looming ecological threat to our shared climate and future.
If we stabilize the climate before we go off the climate destabilization cliff, we will preserve our planet so that all of the other life dreams that we have can be achieved and all of the other challenges that we face both individually and collectively can be resolved. If we fail to create sustainable lifestyles, livelihoods, communities and nations on a "first things first" priority basis as the key life practice of Universe Evolutionaries and Universe Citizens, the planet will continue escalating into deeper ecological catastrophe to a level that could soon become irreversible and then evolve into an extinction level event for all humanity as well as most of the other species living on the Earth. In fact, all other life practices do depend for their very future existence upon us doing the above as our first practice.
Our movement does have a specific social activism program to help Universe Evolutionaries and Universe Citizens resolve humanity's number one threat --- climate destabilization caused by global warming. It is called the Job One for Humanity plan. (Click the following link to review this life-critical program Job One for Humanity.)
"To say one is an evolutionary without understanding and practicing the principles from the science behind evolution is like saying you are a citizen of a country that you were never born in, lived in, voted in or, in which you either knew or exercised the rights of a citizen of that country. That is how important a broad understand the science of evolution is to being an authentic and practicing evolutionary! Lawrence Wollersheim
Universe Evolutionaries are consciously and actively co-evolving solutions to our planetary problems in alignment with the evolutionary process itself. Universe evolutionaries know that it takes progressive evolution aligned actions to improve the current conditions and challenges facing the planet. Even though Universe Evolutionaries know that global consciousness is not the consciousness that will solve global problems and that only from a universe consciousness and perspective will they be solved, they also aware of that just increasing personal or spiritual "consciousness" is not enough either.
There are many individuals and organizations today that misunderstand this critical balance and teach that all it takes to improve the world [or mostly what it takes,] is to change and/or expand personal consciousness particularly spiritual consciousness. Consequently, they teach little of the universe sciences, the universe's evolutionary principles, the new dialectical complex systems thinking, evolutionary ethics or the future modeling skills critically essential to help guide successful personal action and social behavior into better alignment with progressive evolution.)
As one looks at the many key processes of progressive evolution, one can clearly see that expanding consciousness is just one among the many other levels of action processes that must also take place for progressive evolution to be optimized. Although expanding consciousness of any kind is important, it is by no means the one, single most important thing that will improve everything else on the planet and within the universe system.
If there was such a thing, it would more likely be widespread ongoing education on the factual qualities of the master universe and its progressive evolution because from this encompassing education almost all other skills, actions and qualities could be improved --- even consciousness. Expanding consciousness is important, but it is not just a "being aware or celebrating universe" it is also "a thinking, predicting, planning and doing universe --- if you want to be sustainably successful.
Universe Evolutionaries know that it takes far more than just a change of consciousness to live in harmony with the unstoppable flow of progressive evolution in the universe. It also takes a solid understanding of evolutionary science. Universe Evolutionaries also recognize that by the mere fact of their existence embedded within the evolving universe they have an inalienable right as universe citizens to have and use their essential and equitably share of the energy and resources of the universe based upon fundamental basic needs, meritorious productivity and fair exchange in alignment with the directional flow of progressive evolution.
What do Universe Evolutionaries do?
Universe Evolutionaries that understand and use the personal and societal unifying, realigning and restructuring power of the Universe Evolutionary Worldview are true Universe Citizens and they are some of the brightest stars working to make a better world. They work in every important area of the global culture such as economics, politics, science the environment and even religion and spirituality. They can better play their important world making roles by also understanding and practicing the Universe Principles of Sustainability, committing to realizing the Universe Charter and taking classes online at the Universe College.
Universe Evolutionaries align their own and the actions of various groups in which they are embedded to the directionality of progressive evolution within the universe.
They do this by specifically expanding:
creativity,
self-organization, freedom, autonomy and choice,
cooperation,
appropriate and fair energy exchanges (sharing,)
full consequence capture and full accountability, (the abilities of managers/governing bodies to better align the self-interests of the parts of the group to the interests of the whole group and that is also in alignment with the directionality of progressive evolution,)
order,
integration,
harmony,
learning (one expands learning by:
expanding present awareness/consciousness of feedback, in the expanding forms of self reflection, other thing and person awareness and ultimately universe totality reflection, (This is knowledge of, and the NOW conscious awareness of the actual nature or actions of self, other, the local environment, the planet and the universe,)
expanding wisdom, prediction of best course based on knowledge of past and present,
expanding intelligence, Knowledge of past and present
environmental control, (This particularly includes developing future modeling skills using integral dialectical complex system thinking skills.)
sustainability, (see sustainable prosperity and Job One for Humanity links below.)
evolvability, (Using the knowledge of the universe evolutionary process, principles and directionality to help co-create greater personal and life system adaptability and greater evolutionary control and success,)
