The evolutionary and science-grounded spiritualized perspectives of the Universe Evolutionary Worldview found at Universe Spirit are great news for anyone who is open to a more inclusive, transcendent, embodied and non-authoritarian life and (if you are of a spiritual nature,) spiritual message. The Religion 2.0 (AKA Evolution Spirituality,) found on this website evolves an open source, evolutionary process integrating and connecting objective science and the core spiritual wisdom of humanity’s western and eastern spiritual traditions while at the same time striving to transcend the ineffective, inapplicable or pathological elements of those same spiritual traditions. Although it is a process designed to maximize safe growth, inner empowerment as well as personal healing and transformation --- just what's in it for you with the regular practice of its wisdom and tools?
It took eight months to begin meditation classes at the local juvenile hall — seven months of talking about it and one month of letters, phone calls, and meetings. The director was not sure the kids would go for it. He said that if we expected the kids to sit down, cross their legs, and watch their breath for forty-five minutes, we were mistaken. My co-leader, Jason Murphy, was a former resident of the hall and worked as a drug rehabilitation counselor with a similar population. He said, “We could teach basket weaving and if we are genuine, they will go for it. They watch you, not what you say.” The director warned us: “You need to be a master of your art. If you show signs of weakness or doubt, they will see it and blow you away. They won’t hold back.”
As language-using organisms, we participate in the evolution of the Universe most fruitfully through interpretation. We under stand the world by drawing pictures, telling stories, conversing. These are our special contributions to existence. It is our immense good fortune and grave responsibility to sing the songs of the Cosmos.Kobe 10 ELite PE
