The future, in their view, is not what &#8220;happens to us&#8221; but rather what we can NOW imagine. <span>&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n<h1><span lang=\"EN\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/h1>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><font size=\"3\"><span><\/span><\/font>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><font size=\"3\"><span>On July 26, 2008, these&nbsp;renowned Evolutionary Leaders met at the Chopra Center in Carlsbad, California, to explore their extraordinary potential as a collective. Out of that first meeting came discussions that led to the drafting <span>&nbsp;<\/span>of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.evolutionaryleaders.net\/acalltoconsciousevolution\/\">A Call to Conscious Evolution<\/a>.<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><span> <span lang=\"EN\"><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN\"><font size=\"3\">&nbsp;<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><font size=\"3\"><span lang=\"EN\">This group met to address the global prospects for evolutionary leadership. Their legitimacy however comes from a universal mandate that empowers us all: <em>If not us, who?

Our economy is in crisis, wars are continuing to add to their deadly toll, and the balance of world power is shifting dramatically. Meanwhile, trust in government is at a historic low. <span>&nbsp;<\/span>Are we entering an era of chaos and decline, or are we poised to jump to a higher order?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN\">This group believes that today&#8217;s mounting world problems are merely symptoms <\/span><span lang=\"EN\"><font size=\"3\">of a fractured, dualistic<\/font><\/span><span lang=\"EN\"> <\/span><font size=\"3\"><span lang=\"EN\">way of thinking (us vs. them, human vs. nature, win\/lose). That&nbsp;view is dangerously out of touch with the acute interdependence, wholeness, and unity in diversity of all that lives. Looking outward but not inward, reacting to external symptoms but not the root cause, we can&#8217;t see why our world is out of balance. <span>&nbsp;<\/span><span>&nbsp;<\/span>As Einstein famously said, &#8220;We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when <\/span><span lang=\"EN\">we created them.&#8221;<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span>As the slogan goes, &#8220;this is Our Moment of Choice.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span>&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Find out more&nbsp;at&nbsp;<b><span>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.evolutionaryleaders.net\/laevent\">www.evolutionaryleaders.net\/laevent<\/a>&nbsp;.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guest Post by Dale Colton &nbsp; Some of the most well-known&nbsp;best-selling authors,&nbsp; beloved&nbsp;teachers and speakers are banding together to do their part to help change the world.
