Sustainable Livelihoods and Lifestyles for a Thriving Future
This department educates about the universe-scaled evolutionary science behind the new Universe Worldview and Universe Age. The new Universe Evolutionary Worldview is a new worldview so timely, empowering and important that it will eventually re-align and evolve almost everything we currently know and do to its more situation appropriate and life-sustaining new perspectives.
The new Universe Evolutionary Worldview is also a
multi-disciplinary and science-grounded approach focused upon a
building the best unified understanding of the facts,
directionality and meanings of life from the largest possible
time, space and history perspectives that exists --- the physical
universe and its 13.7 billion years of evolution! Both cosmology
and progressive evolutionary science play major roles in
providing the powerful new perspectives emerging from a "big
history" and whole systems understanding of life and everything
--- physics, organic chemistry, biology, culture, society,
economics, politics and even religion and spirituality.
The Universe Evolutionary Worldview celebrates and embraces the
rapidly accelerating unification of all human knowledge and
wisdom. It is already being called "the greatest single expansion
of human perspective and unification of human knowledge in
history."
Where did we come from? (The question of origin.)
Who are we? (The question of identity.)
Why are we here? (The question of purpose.)
Where are we going? (The question of Destiny.)
What Ultimately matters? (The question of meaning.)
How are we to live with each other, the physical world and its
non human inhabitants? (The questions of ethics, morality and
right action.)

In this new phase evolution will be driven intentionally, by humanity. The Universe Evolutionary Worldview that emerges from an understanding of our role in the new phase has the potential to transform the nature of human existence. At present humanity is lost. We don’t know what we are doing here. We are without a worldview that can point to our place and purpose in the universe and that can also withstand rational scrutiny. But this difficult period is coming to an end. The emergence of the new Universe Evolutionary Worldview is beginning to lift us out of the abyss. The new worldview has a unique capacity to reveal who we are and what we should be doing with our lives. It relies solely on scientific knowledge and reason to identify our critical role in future evolution. The Universe Evolutionary Worldview can unite us in a great common enterprise, and provide meaning and purpose for human existence. The suggested donation for this free access course is $25.

This course covers the science on the progressive directionality of evolution and what it means to the success of all living systems. The course is based upon the book Evolution's Arrow by John Steward. Understanding the directionality of progressive evolution in the universe is vital to understanding the new universe worldview and all of the advantages this new worldview brings to those who know it!
