Conference Presentation by Brian Swimme

Saturday Morning Plenary:

Humanity’s Destiny: Global Mind, Global Heart

The universe evolves in spurts. At the origin of time, there was only plasma, and then this plasma gave birth to galaxies. Since the origin of life, similar quantum leaps have taken place. For a long time there were only single-celled organisms, and then animals and plants sprouted forth. Swimme will share another transition underway, one in which human energies—having surrounded the entire world—are now challenged by a new destiny, whose purpose is the evocation of a vibrant Earth Community.
