Adjustments
at the margins of the failed cultural and institutional system of
Imperial Civilization will not take us where we must now go. The
system’s cultural beliefs and institutional structures must be retooled
and its resources reallocated to realign the defining purpose of human
society from making money to supporting every person in making a living.
Hope
resides in humanity emerging vision of an Ecological Civilization
grounded in our deepest human understanding of creation’s purpose,
life’s organizing principles, and our human nature and possibility as
discerned by the converging insights of indigenous wisdom keepers, the
great spiritual teachers, and leading-edge scientists. Some call this
emerging 21st Century intellectual frame, the New or Second Enlightenment.
Naming the future, calls us to envision it. Naming it a new civilization evokes a sense of epic transformation. Identifying it as ecological evokes a New Enlightenment understanding of life as complex, intelligent, conscious, and self-organizing.
