Is there a direction imbedded in the very fabric of evolution?  Are we moving toward something, or is reality as we know it just an infinite process of trial and error, with no overall wider evolutionary directive. What are some of the most current observations of the nature of our universe, and what deeper knowledge of our existence is this information communicating? Jonas Salk made the following statement of what he thought the process of directional evolution appears to be:

"The most meaningful activity in which a human being can be engaged is one that is directly related to human evolution.  This is true because human beings now play an active and critical role not only in the process of their own evolution but in the survival and evolution of all living beings.  Awareness of this places upon human beings a responsibility for their participation in and contribution to the process of evolution.  If humankind would accept and acknowledge this responsibility and become creatively engaged in the process of metabiological evolution consciously, as well as unconsciously, a new reality would emerge, and a new age would be born."  Jonas Salk
