In my last blog I began to clarify, and also personalize, some meanings of “conscious evolution.” Here is the continuation of the definitions we are using as we embark on building a Conscious Evolutionary Circle group in Austin (based on the works of Barbara Marx Hubbard).
- Conscious Evolution enables us to use our creative power to envision and create images of possibilities, and then bring those images to life by design.
Most readers of this blog are well aware of the Law of Attraction, the belief that we co-create our lives through the vibrational alignment of our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and ideas. (See Abraham-Hicks’
Conscious Evolutionaries recognize the exponential effects of group co-creation and seek out collaborative opportunities to stimulate evolutionary visions.
I’ve played a lot with group synergies, but usually in the context of personal growth. However, I feel a distinct pull to grow beyond my own spiritual inner aspirations and begin to live more consciously as a global citizen. I don’t really know yet all of the ways that I can contribute to the transformation of our world – that thought can even feel overwhelming – but I do know its important for me to follow this urge of deep resonance.
Are you also feeling the call to play a role in our world’s transformation, but have no idea what or how to do that? See some ideas below.
- At its core, Conscious Evolution is a spiritually motivated endeavor affirming that humans are co-creators with Spirit, nature and universal design.
Through the 13+ billion years since the “big bang”, the natural process of evolution is actually non-linear and occurred through quantum leaps, each time to a state of more complex and higher consciousness. This transitional period we are now in is a natural phase change from self, separated-consciousness to a universal whole system-consciousness.
Conscious Evolutionaries recognize a primary foundation of embodying “oneness” is to fully allow their Essence to incarnate in the physical body, taking dominion over the many faces of Ego (read more) thus working in synchronous partnership with higher states of consciousness (Spirit, nature, universal design).
Living from Essence is to know the difference between your Higher Mind (Higher Self) and the many voices of your Ego. The primary way I distinguish is by how the guidance feels. Feels good, beautiful and/or true? Must be Essence. Feels bad, judgmental or confusingly false? More likely Ego, which is all about holding me in a separated state.
You can listen to a free recording of exercise developed to help you Feel Your Essence on my Coaching page. The more often you connect with your Essence, the more you recognize when you are living from Essence and when you are not.
- Conscious Evolution is the emergence of a universal humanity capable of guiding its own evolution into a future of unimaginable co-creativity.
We are a product of 13+ billion years of successful evolution and we carry this history of evolutionary success in our very DNA. Millions of people at this specific time in our planet’s life are awakening to a deeper truth about who they really are and their purpose for being here at this time.
Conscious Evolutionaries feel this deeper truth as the very impulse of evolution giving rise to an “ecstatic urgency” (Andrew Cohen
I am practicing a meditation that is focused on feeling this impulse of evolution rising in me. It is this very “ecstatic urge” that is compelling me to reach out to others to form community around these ideas of Conscious Evolution.
Are you resonating with the beliefs of a Conscious Evolutionary? Join a Conscious Evolutionary Circle! I can help you locate one if you contact me.
In Austin, the Conscious Evolutionary Circle meets the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month, 7:00 – 8:30 pm, by donation, at World Spirit Books, 1006 South Lamar.
FREE Introductory Circle this Wednesday, September 28, 7:00 pm.
Practicing Conscious Evolution in Your Own Life:
- Develop your “evolutionary eyes” by noticing challenges in your life as evolutionary drivers. When something is coming up differently than you want ask yourself, “What is wanting to evolve in me and emerge as new and innovative?
- Develop your “evolutionary voice” by initiating evolutionary conversations about your dreams and visions for the planet for the shifts you want to see. Find others who are willing to create a field of hope and possibility for our planet.
- Develop your “evolutionary ears” by listening for opportunities to work collaboratively and creatively with others who inspire you with positive solutions to local challenges.
- Develop your “evolutionary impulse” by becoming a social Agent of Conscious Evolution either by joining the Barbara Marx Hubbard program, joining a Conscious Evolutionary Circle, or by starting one of your own!
