Do we really need to evolve now?

Download this episode (50 min)   
A number of people have asked: “Why now? Why is it so urgent that we evolve now? Won’t evolution happen with or without us?” And the answer is that it is critical for us to evolve now because the world system from which we have arisen and upon which our very survival depends is faltering. We now know that we are a part of an evolving universe, and it’s just as impossible for us to go back to our previous ignorance as it would be for a reptile with lungs to go back to living at the bottom of the ocean. Evolution only moves forward, and so must we. Katherine and I will devote this week’s call to exploring the nature of the urgency that fuels the need to evolve.
