The Birth of a Global Conversation

Posted on Oct 21st, 2007 by Jeff : Director of Education Jeff
Yesterday I conducted a conference call with people who had worked with me during seminars and evening programs held recently in New York, Copenhagen, and throughout Australia. Those events are all documented here on early blog posts and what I have been writing about is how each of the events that I have conducted seem to pick up where the last one left off even though they are with completely different people in a different city or even country. This  is the beginning of a very exciting adventure and a challenge to anyone who wants to take it up to become a part of a global inquiry -  a globally integrated conversation about the potential of human beings to be agents of evolution and cultural change.

The development of that global conversation is what I see as an ambitious but achievable goal over the next year. The teaching of Evolutionary Enlightenment is the perfect container for such a conversation because it is based in a view of human existence that places us right at the edge of whatever is going to happen next and the purpose of the conversation is to outline what that next step will be and to facilitate it happening.


The participants in the call yesterday expressed to me in emails afterward what they experienced through the connection with people from around the world who were committed as they are to the creation of new future.


I have posted some of the comments that I received here so that you could get a sense of what was happening.


If you want to be a part of this global inquire all you need to do is sign on to EnlightenNext's Universe Project website. It is free to sign on and once you do you will receive regular updates about how this work is going.

EVOLUTION!


Am totally new to E.E. and don't have the group's vocabulary.  I was 2 minutes late and as I understood what was going on, perspiration began to roll off me in profusion, so great was my wonderment. I had been led to this moment. What an intro! (From New York)


I was in Copenhagen and what I feel more and more, is a great sense of trust, confidence. I mean I trust, that going into the field, is a very secure place to be, even if I feel fear or anything else. Just as you said when you feel insecure, maybe unstable, then you know that you are on the right way! (from Copenhagen)

Some comments from call participants


When we link we see that we are already linked. We see that the technical connection which allows us to talk to each other is only a mimic of a transpersonal connection of understanding that already links us and only needs to be recognized. (From Sydney)


I had this strange experience of seeing how I've kept this project very 'local' and in that way 'small and manageable'...and today it just blew that up and I felt both MORE responsible and accountable because it is so huge...but also more insecure and the boundaries of even how I think about "me" and "others" seemed to be changing. (from New York)


I was phoning from home in Warwick, a town population of some 12,000,  in Queensland located two hours drive west of the State capital of Brisbane and about 1,000 kms north of Sydney. I joined the conference about fifteen minutes into it after figuring out all the button pressing!  - a very interesting experience, trying to visualise the various participants scattered around the globe.

It was a great call! (From Sweden)


Thank you for gathering us globally for an inspiring call. (from Philadelphia)


As the call progressed I was very much aware of the field being generated by our commitment and interest in what was happening. As soon as attention is focused on the field I can feel the potential and the creativity that is its very nature. Yes we are becoming aware of the true nature of who we are and it is so much more than I had ever considered possible. (from Perth)


There were lots more...but you get the idea I think...
