An inspiring call to conscious evolution,
a clear articulation of what is needed in
these times.
The Obama Administration has asked the
"Evolutionary Leaders" to communicate about
what is transpiring on the planet, and how
we can change the course of the
unprecedented events that are challenging
this planet. This is a window of opportunity
for this information to be conveyed to the
Obama Administration.
The Evolutionary Leaders like Deepak Chopra,
Gregg Braden, Michael Beckwith and many,
many others, gathered together to write up
the information to present to the Obama
Administration. They are also asking us to
sign a petition to show the Administration
how many people are in favor for these
changes to occur. They need 10,000
signatures. We need your help to reach that
number and beyond! Below is the information
presented to the New Administration.

By the Evolutionary Leaders
The human family is in the midst of the most
significant transformation of consciousness
since its emergence in Africa over one
hundred thousand years ago. Consciousness
has been evolving for billions of years from
the first cell to us. We are becoming aware
that through our own consciousness the
universe can know itself. This awareness
reveals incredible new potential for our
individual and collective humanity.
Simultaneously, we are the first species on
this Earth aware that we can destroy
ourselves by our own action. This may be the
greatest wake-up call to the evolution of
consciousness since the origin of Homo
Sapiens. We now realize that we are
affecting our own evolution by everything we
do. This knowledge awakens in us the
aspiration to become more conscious through
subjective practices including meditation,
reflection, prayer, intuition, creativity,
and conscious choice making that accelerate
our evolution in the direction of unity
consciousness and inspire us to deeply align
our collective vision.
THE CHALLENGE
At this juncture in human history, urgent
global crises challenge us to learn to live
sustainably, in harmony and gratitude with
one another and with the living universe.
The changes required of humanity are broad,
deep, and far reaching. Only by acting
swiftly and creatively can we birth a
planetary culture that will bring well-being
to every form of life in the Earth
community. The good news is that a
compelling new story of our potential as a
whole human species is emerging-a story of
collaboration, citizenaction, dialogue and
new understandings propelled by
unprecedented levels of democratic freedom,
multicultural exchange, and access
tocommunication technologies. It is nothing
less than the story of our
collective evolution.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACTION
We recognize that the inner and outer
aspects of life evolve together. A dramatic
awakening in consciousness will involve an
equally dramaticshift in outward aspects of
our lives. In particular, we see the
following as vital opportunities for our
conscious evolution, both personally and
collectively:
Cultivating a Paradigm of Aliveness:
We regard the universe as deeply alive and
conscious by nature. In a living universe,
our sense of subtle connection and
participation with life around us is the
basis for a compassionate and cooperative
approach to living.
Educating for an Evolving Consciousness:
Awakening consciousness is the foundation
for all the change we seek to see in the
world. We can work to elevate our capacity
for conscious reflection and creative action
in our personal lives as well as our
collective lives as communities. We must
support research and educational strategies
that optimize human capacities and explore
the nature of consciousness.
Restoring Ecological Balance: The
balance of planetary ecosystems is
fundamental to our survival. We must reverse
the pollution of our global commons-the
water, air and soil that nourish all life.
We must encourage the proliferation of
clean, renewable energy sources and expend
all necessary resources toward mitigating
the effects of climate change.
Encouraging Conscious Media: We must
find innovative ways to use the new
electronic media as the mirror of our
positive evolutionary story,investing in
their capacity to reach across differences
of generation,culture, religion, wealth, and
gender to build a working consensus about
our collective future.
Engaging in Social and Political
Transformation: More sustainable ways of
living will require the support of a more
conscious democracy and vibrant civil
society from which more enlightened leaders
will emerge. All individuals should be
encouraged to use their gifts to create
participatory, responsible and compassionate
models of governance.
Working for Integrity in Commerce:
Conscious businesses that are aware of the
scope, depth, and long-range impacts of
their actions are key to achieving
sustainability. Business must become an
ethical steward of the Earth's ecology and
consciously establish an economic basis for
a future of equitably shared abundance.
Promoting Health and Healing: The
science of mind-body-spirit health has
demonstrated the profound connection between
the health of a whole person and the health
of the system in which he or she lives.
Whole systems healing, respecting both
traditional knowledge and modern sciences,
must be supported in physical, social, and
spiritual domains.
Building Global Community: The new
story is about all of us who share this
planet. Together, we can create a culture of
peace that eliminates the need for armed
conflict, respecting and appreciating the
glorious diversity of our human family.
