Transcending Divisions
March 18, 2014 Kosmos Community News
Dear Friends of Kosmos,
Talk about transcendence! This is the story of Kosmos as we move into Phase II of our work. We are a mission-driven, evolving group of associates working together to widen our vision of the possible in these transformative times. A new human and a new world is being born and you can track this emergence through Kosmos Journal. The world needs you, our beloved readers, to participate and grow with us in co-creating the new civilization.
The good news! We believe it is only through the participation of we the people that our new world will become a reality. Therefore, we will be offering you free access to all of our digital archives to keep you up-to-date. For the first time each and every print article with the exception of our most recent issue, is available to readers, researchers policy-makers . . . everyone to read and to share. Our archives are filled with classic articles on the shift in consciousness and cultural worldviews that are leading to dramatic worldwide changes in all of our institutions. Be informed. Be inspired. Be engaged with us. We hope you will visit our website often and give us valuable feedback and comments. The content is refreshed every Tuesday. Please remember, we are reader-supported! It is more important to us than ever that you consider subscribing to our print journal. Subscribers receive our beautiful publication six months before its articles are released to the archive. Digital subscribers have access to the freshest content also. As always, donations to Kosmos are deeply appreciated.
I am so grateful when I am reminded that none of us is working alone. We are on this magnificent journey together.
Nancy

The Deeper News: Patterns, Dynamics and Mindsets Shaping the Longer View by Richard Hames. Claims there can be no enduring solution to the problem of poverty, however much we might lament that fact, rest on the premise that affluence is a “relative” condition and will remain so. There will always be people who are worse off than others, we reason, but we can reduce absolute penury by distributing welfare and aid to the underprivileged. This also allows us to feel good about ourselves.
