A Record of an Emerging Culture?

The profound ramifications of Charles Darwin's scientific model of evolution are still barely unfolding within human understanding. The implications of his work stretch, far beyond the mere materialistic ordering of cosmic, planetary and ecological human development.

Whilst Darwin's discoveries, inform most contemporary scientific and technological developments to some degree. What is rarely considered, by even the most educated individual, is what Darwin's discovery implies, for the bio, socio, cultural and spiritual development of the human race as whole. Those few individuals that have deeply explored this subject, frequently characterise this approach as an evolutionary worldview.

This aim of this blog is to be offer, informative and educational content, concerning those events, notions, happenings and ideas, that might shape the progress of a culture based on an evolutionary view of human development. To some degree it will be a personal journal that aims to record my efforts to explore develop and link to people, events and experiences in London , that might apply, or uncover what it means to live according to evolutionary principles. My fellow pioneers charting these frontiers, believe that evolution has not stopped, but needs to be engaged with individually and socially at the level of consciousness and culture.

Though these evolutionary principles have only recently come to light within human consciousness, a growing number people are discovering, that the most exciting and positive way forward globally for all, is underpinned by an evolutionary worldview. This revolutionary perspective offers the immense possibility of utterly positive future for the human race.

This worldview is emerging through the efforts of a few radical, visionaries, thinkers and leaders who are integrating, science, religion and culture to create and formulate, a comprehensive rational and meaningful meta narrative, of the entire human story from before the big bang until now and forward to the future . These include but are not limited to Andrew Cohen, EnlightenNext the organisation and magazine, Ken Wilber and the Integral Institute, Brian Swimme, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Robert Godwin, James Gardner and many others.

As a former close student of Cohen and volunteer at EnlightenNext London, I wanted to add a voice and views on this blog, concerning the development and implications of an evolutionary worldview.
