About the Massive Updating and Knowledge Transfer Still Taking Place From this Our Old Universe Spirit Website to Our New Universe Spirit Way of the Universe Website.
This description of the Way of the Universe is designed to show how the Universe Spirit nonprofit organization is evolving. We are far from done with this evolution. The Way of the Universe philosophy is a new philosophy born in the 21st century to help address 21st-century problems. It is our new name for many, but not all, of the objectives we pursued on our old UniverseSpirit.org website over the last 24 years.
This new name for what we are teaching better reflects our efforts to develop a universal, rational, and practical philosophy. This name also helps distinguish us from the many negative associations that come from appearing anything like a traditional religion, a new-age spirituality, or even from our own decades of efforts to create a universal meta-spirituality that would unite humanity.
It may take at least another 6-12 months to transfer and upgrade 24 years of work (about 1,000 pages) from our old Universe Spirit website to this new one. During this massive transfer process, every page is under review, in construction, and being updated. We need to fix broken links, add new insights, remove outdated materials that no longer align with our philosophy-based approach, update language, and revise grammar and spelling to bring our older materials up to date and align with our new Way of the Universe philosophical framing.
Some links on this site will still point to our old website during construction until we complete the large-scale transfer. If the home page of our old site displays a random error message and you can't view the entire site, click the refresh button; the old site will appear. To return to our new website from the old one, click the Back button or the Way of the Universe link at the top of the old home page. (The disappearing old website bug is very random, and we're still working on finding the cause and fixing it.)
If you see this image in the book sections of our old site, it means most likely the pages below have not yet been updated and transferred to our new site. If you click the under-construction image above, it will also take you to our new website.
The copy below in this book is still only on our old website!
The birth of a new worldview is a monumental event in human evolution and for the possibilities for improving the human condition. There have been numerous new worldviews throughout human history, and each has led to significant advancements.
Every one of us has and is continually interpreting life through our current worldview. Yet, worldviews are almost always invisible and unknown consciously to the holders of the worldview, which makes these worldviews powerful and dangerous.
They are powerful if they meet the needs and challenges of the time with appropriate and sustainable solutions. They are dangerous if they are out of touch with the needs and challenges of the time.
(If you are still unsure what a worldview is and why it is so critical to understanding the evolution of humanity and improving our collective future, please be sure to click here before continuing. It will give you a better understanding of what a worldview is and does for our lives.)
The new Universe Evolutionary Worldview, which has recently appeared is founded upon and defined by the most current evolution science.
It is a major upgrade to previous worldviews.
It is an evolutionary upgrade because it goes beyond Darwin's original theory of evolution, which we call evolution version 1.0. It also goes well beyond the version of evolutionary principles that E. O Wilson described in his New Synthesis, which we call evolution version 1.5.
The new Universe Evolutionary Worldview is unique. It is an encompassing but not overthrowing next progressive upgrade to the understanding of evolutionary principles found within Evolution 1.0 and Evolution 1.5. (This new Universe Evolutionary Worldview is sometimes called Evolution 2.0.)
