Interview with Barbara Marx Hubbard - Page 2

The second level is social evolution. In health, education, economics, arts, media and so forth, you will see innovations and innovators in every field of human endeavor who are now making things work in a new way. These are little new organs of the social body that are forming.

And then you go to the next level of science and technology. It's being transformed before our very eyes by the understandings of quantum physics and entanglement, non-locality and a participatory universe with the whole universe being alive and connected. If you look at the technological breakthroughs possible with life extension, the human settlement of space, the expansion of intelligence into quantum computers, you begin to see that it's not only the scientific understanding of the physical universe that’s evolving, but also our physical capacity to transform the universe.

If you put together spiritual, social, scientific, and technological capacities, not just as separate individualistic activities, but as a new gestalt, you will begin to see the outlines of a new species. I call it a universal species, because it is universal in consciousness, universal in action and literally universal on the physical plane.

Now, that doesn't mean that everything is going to happen automatically right. Just like every birth it's always dangerous. And, on a planetary scale we don't have anyone to compare ourselves with who has direct experience making it through a high-tech overpopulated, polluting species to a birth universal species orchestrating its capacities harmoniously with ecological sustainability.

TBH – True, we don’t have an advanced species hanging around that has made it through the gate so to speak.

Barbara – However, if you really read the literature you'll see that there are solutions to all of this scattered throughout the system. There is no one answer. And it helps if you think of it as a new gestalt of the planetary emergence of a universal species whose birth is being forced by the breakdowns. That way you can reinterpret the breakdown.

I've had five children and the metaphor means a lot to me. Really, until the labor pains become intense, you're not going to be able to give birth. It's a most painful period. As a mother, you know the pain has meaning. As a planetary culture, we don’t know yet that this pain has meaning, because it looks like failure everywhere. But when you really look at the civilization that is breaking down, you have to ask yourself, do you want it to continue the way it is? With all the inequalities? With 25,000 children starving everyday?   Next > 1 2 3 4 5 6
