If we are to see what unifies us, then we need a perspective large enough to transcend our many differences. What we are learning from modern science — particularly about our 13.7 billion year evolutionary journey — provides just such a perspective. While wisdom traditions have long taught that all life is one interconnected and interdependent whole, it is only in the last few generations that science has provided the empirical validation of this crucial insight. For some of us, such validation may not be necessary — the wisdom of the ancients coupled with our personal experiences suffice. But for many others, the awe-inspiring story of the evolution of the cosmos and of life itself opens the door, perhaps for the first time, to an expanded and more integrated view of the world and our place within it.  Discovering
the implications of the unity of life, and learning how evolutionary
principles can help us work together to meet the tremendous challenges
of our times, is the essence of the core conversation we now need to be
having as a human family. And it is perhaps here that science and
wisdom traditions most keenly converge — for the implications of what
we are now learning from science go to the very heart of humanity's
three most ancient questions: who are we, where are we, and what are we
to do.
In our times more than any other, the converging of these two streams of knowing — modern and ancient, empirical and intuitive — holds the potential to play a powerful role in helping us emerge a better future for all life. _____________________ Take Forward Steps Daily |
