Kathryn Brewer - Conscious Evolution

MY UNDERSTANDING OF CONSCIOUS EVOLUTION

All things evolve--babies, ecological systems, businesses, relationships, seasons, Earth, galaxies, etc. We are the first generations of humans that are consciously aware of our own place in and connection to the process of evolution. Some of us feel an inner urge compelling us to seek what we feel is possible for human society to become--cooperation instead of competition, connection instead of isolation, regeneration instead of disintegration. It is the African concept/practice of Ubuntu--Oneness of all life.

Many of today’s leading-edge thinkers, scientists, mystics and sages are talking about the unprecedented change that is to happen about 12/21/2012 (most suggest that it has already begun). The great majority agree that it is not the end of the world, but the end of society as we know it—that is, it will be if we are to survive as a species. There are many indicators that this is so—the state of the world economy, the political unrest throughout the world even in places that had been controlled to eliminate that, the atmospheric and weather changes, the dwindling pool of natural resources, the disillusionment of our youth and the rise of gangs, and the toxins in our air, water and food and in the earth itself. Although there is now evidence that many of the Earth changes are a natural historical cycle and not brought on solely by our human behavior, they are still evidence of major change beyond any in millennia of history.

From throughout the world, the wisest of us are seeing a similar solution. For the first time in history we understand that our thoughts/energy create. We know that groups of us joined together with a focused intent affect outcomes. We know that nature promotes those organisms that cooperate, and that nature inherently wants to seek balance. We know that evolution has happened in leaps and spurts throughout history, beginning with the Big Bang. We know deep in our core that we can make a difference in ourselves and through that, in our planet. But how?

It begins with becoming acutely aware in every moment of the effect of what we think and do on others and the environment. We each find our individual way of connecting to the Essence, God part, Universal Intelligence of our inner being and coming to the place where we can choose to allow that part to manage our Ego—not destroy our Ego. It is through our Local, Individual, Ego Self that we make things happen in the world. The source of what those things will be now come from our Essence, Higher Self, Divine Field, Universal Intelligence, God Within or whatever words make that real for you. I know these are just words until you have the experience of being quiet enough, long enough, with enough emotional clearing to truly feel your Essence.

VISTAR EVOLUTIONARY CIRCLES

One of the most powerful tools for learning to center ourselves in our Essence and stay there while we interact with others is the Vistar or Evolutionary Circle. It is considered a prototype for social interaction of the future, and uses four simple guiderules to tame the Ego and allow the participants to create a resonant field, or combined energy that is more than the sum of the individuals present. The Circles that I facilitate have ushered in essential changes in an organization (QuietStar Center for Transformation) and in the public Circle have become a high priority of spiritual, evolutionary practice for each person. Contact me regarding local Circles, or to see an example of a Circle facilitated by the Vistar creators go to http://youtu.be/fo_eP5VMiYM.

A recent video by Gregg Braden, former silicon valley engineer turned global spiritual seeker, describes just three of the scientific experiments that validate the power of shared human intent and emotion:
