Our Spiritual Evolution: Transcending the Third Dimension Mark Gilbert 1e uitgave

What are your thoughts on evolution? Physical evolution is a reality, but have you ever considered that it is only part of the story?
Our Spiritual Evolution: Transcending the Third Dimension is about looking at life through a spiritual evolutionary lens. More and more spiritual teachers in the 21st century are seeing life in this way!
The book helps you easily develop this outlook by offering a concise and accessible description of how all of life and the universe came to be -- and gives meaning to our lives as a part of this process.
The book's essential theory is provided in the form of a "dialogue" where we begin to consider how all of the universe sprang forth from one source. Each "part" of the universe--including ourselves--is experiencing life feeling separate and apart from everything else. Yet we also feel that we are connected to something that transcends our individual lives and is calling us forward to a greater life--we are evolving individually and collectively towards some greater expansiveness.
Building on this overview, this brief book then offers introductions to the concepts of "big history", the emergence of conscious awareness, our evolution of worldviews and Spiral Dynamics, New Thought and the Science of Mind, where we are on this evolutionary journey and the evolution of our idea of God. The book concludes with considerations of how we might live our lives from this spiritual evolutionary viewpoint.
Ultimately, Our Spiritual Evolution is about navigating that dynamic tension between being motivated by two worlds simultaneously -- one our physical-animalistic past through which we have evolved; the other our spiritual truth that pulls us towards a higher future.
Developing a spiritual evolutionary outlook provides both greater meaning for our individual life and offers guidance on how to live the best life possible.
Our Spiritual Evolution sets the stage and basic theory that are discussed further in the author's books Our Spiritual Rights and Responsibilities where he outlines what it means to be a human being moving through this evolutionary process and Becoming a Spiritual Change Agent where he offers guidance on how to assist the evolutionary process.
