The reality of historic events forces a complex challenge on humanity: how to move towards a global future that integrates our various worldviews, without affecting or destroying all living species, including ourselves. We suggest that the following four areas of concern are the interdependent elements of an unfolding organic whole necessary for shaping such a future.
Global Reality and Global Governance. This section presents leading edge thinking on global realities -- global trends, global agenda, and global governance. We address the relationship between global institutions, transnational corporations and international civil society, and also the role each plays in shaping our global future.
Integral Worldview and Global Values. How can we achieve wholeness in our lives with peace, justice and mutual flourishing if we see the world through different lenses and filters that give differing meaning and significance to objective reality? The leading edge thinkers such as Don Beck, Spiral Dynamics Integral, and Ken Wilber help us understand the clashing core values and worldviews underlying surface conflicts that can lead to violence. We encourage education, media, religious institutions and all fields of human endeavor, to consider global values from an integral perspective.
Global Spirituality and Global Consciousness. What kinds of spirituality and consciousness are needed for a globalized world and how can we transform ourselves to fully participate? Our concern is to find those practices that free us from the limitations of cultural conditioning, that address the management of anger, aggression and fear, that lead us towards the solidarity of all humanity, and that tap into the universal field where the experience of the web of life becomes a reality.
Global Activism. In this section you will find remarkable stories of individuals who have made a difference in global affairs through their own initiative. In addition, we present articles that demonstrate how mobilized public opinion and collective global activism are the most powerful forces for global transformation. We encourage all people to be empowered and engaged in shaping a global future for the common good.
