What Does it Mean to be a Global Citizen? (Serbian Translation)
ŠTA TO ZNAČI BITI GRADJANIN SVETA? Napisao: Ron Israel
U našoj organizaciji 'Pokret gradjana sveta' (The Global Citizens' Initiative – u daljem tekstu se koristi engleska skraćenica: GCI), mi obično kažemo da je 'gradjanin sveta «neko ko sebe doživljava pripadnikom jedne svetske zajednice u zečetku, čije delovanje doprinosi onim…
Collective Presencing: A New Human Capacity
This is the first in a series of articles introducing the phenomenon and practice of Collective Presencing, a new capacity evolving in humanity at this time. Great thinkers have foreseen its coming—we recognise it in Aurobindo’s descent of the supramental and Teilhard de Chardin’s noosphere. But what exactly do those terms mean? Where these gifted individuals intuited and…
21st Century Spirituality: Part I
As we have entered into 2012 many people feel there is a global shift happening, looking to usher in a new era of sustainability and peace. Whether a new era is here or not, there is indeed something happening! Thousands and perhaps even millions of people
are daring to dream of a new reality: one that will support not only our own good, but the good of all life on Earth. This collective dream…
The Commons as a New Sector of Value-Creation
Let me start with a bit of wisdom I once picked up from Thomas Berry, a historian of cultures who has said, “The universe is the communion of subjects, not a collection of objects.” This epigraph encapsulates the monumental shift that I believe we are undergoing as we move into a new kind of cultural if not economic reality.

The Rise of the New Economy Movement
by Gar Alperovitz
Activists, theorists, organizations and ordinary citizens are rebuilding the American political-economic system from the ground up… The movement includes young and old, “Occupy” people, student activists, and what one older participant describes as thousands of “people in their 60s from the ’60s” rolling up their sleeves to apply some…
21st Century Spirituality- Ideas For Aw 2012
My feeling about the new energy generating 21st Century Spirituality is that each individual now takes full responsibility for their own personal growth. The days of following gurus of any kind are over. The days of letting someone else dictate who we
are, what we want and how we should be, are over. We as a global village, now have so much information at our fingertips that we each can make our…
Integral Metatheory As Holder Of The Future
Over the years, Ken Wilber and the hundreds of those who have taken his wisdom and fleshed it out among humanity's yearnings and flowerings call attention to the theoretical and embidied changes already underway in the world’s great religious and spiritual
communities. We envision a not-too-distant future in which a new emerging Integral Spirituality will give both energy and structure to…
The Causal Commons
Twenty first Century Spirituality is undifferentiated from life itself, and we are now experiencing the friction of the Concrete Commons flinting against the Subtle Commons, creating the smoldering sparks of a profoundly ordinary Spiritual Commons. Humans
and their Awareness continue to evolve as a part of their historic birthright; technology has extended the multiplicity of views to every…
Advancing A Planetary Movement
The planetary challenge is urgent and systemic. The world confronts twenty-first century perils hobbled by twentieth century mindsets and institutions, a dangerous gap that bodes ill. A just and sustainable civilization is still possible. We can forge a path to a different future: a world of lives enriched and nature resilient.
A fragmented movement is incapable of systemic…
