If you thought about our universe framed Evolutionary Spirituality as a New Universe Worldview aligned, science and spirituality integrated forerunner for what non-denominational progressive spiritual organizations will eventually evolve into in the future, you would have a good starting idea about what and who we are. Paradoxically, it was not really possible for this Universe Spirituality to come into being before the most recent scientific discoveries in cosmology and progressive evolution had occurred as well as the vast cross-pollenization integration and unification of humanity's entire heritage of spiritual and scientific wisdom was occurring over the Internet.In conclusion, the universe framed Evolutionary Spirituality movement that we call Universe Spirituality may be the first spiritual movement (but hopefully not the last spiritual movement,) with the capabilities of being the first true global spiritual movement. Unlike earlier spiritual movements based upon much more partial views of life and the universe, it has new ethics, values and a morality with the true capabilities of being global in effectiveness. These qualities (and its new trans-global perspective,) born from the transcending New Universe Worldview put it in a unique spiritual position to do much to help solve the global challenges that we all now currently face. No pre-twenty first century spiritual movement has ever before started out with such a large advantage in utilizing the current scope and depth of scientific and spiritual knowledge.
