“The Next Stage of Human Development: Conscious evolution is the evolution of evolution, from unconscious to conscious choice. While consciousness has been evolving for billions of years, conscious evolution is new. It is part of the trajectory of human evolution, the canvas of choice before us now as we recognize that we have come to possess the powers that we used to attribute to the gods.
We are poised in this critical moment, facing decisions that must be made consciously if we are to avoid destroying the world as we know it, if we are instead to cocreate a future of immeasurable possibilities. Our conscious evolution is an invitation to ourselves, to open to that positive future, to see ourselves as one planet, and to learn to use our powers wisely and ethically for the enhancement of all life on Earth.
Conscious evolution can also be seen as an awakening of a ‘memory’ that resides in the synthesis of human knowing, from spiritual to social to scientific. Indeed, all of our efforts to discover the inherent design of life itself can be seen as the process of one intelligence, striving to know itself through our many eyes, and to set the stage for a future of immense cocreativity”.

From Santa Fe, New Mexico, where I am spending the month of August. If you have never been you should definitely put it on your list. A creative mix of arts, science and spirituality. People are ‘drawn’ here to co-create new realities.
Well it’s been an ‘epic’ week! It started with attending a performance at the world renowned open-air Opera of Santa Fe – a new opera called Adriana Mater, about the choice: to continue the devastation of ‘conflict’ OR radical forgiveness and bridge-making of souls. The location and setting were ‘out of this world’!
Then I met Barbara Marx Hubbard! I attended her talk on ‘The Joy of Supra-Sex’ don’t you love it… Barbara is founder of the movement called Conscious Evolution. You can read more about her in my Feature below. But just to tempt you. It’s all about the Law of Attraction, bringing people together for a higher purpose to work through them. And she had us all in rapture! All of 80, Barbara is one of the most vibrant and energetic women I have ever met. A true inspiration of someone following her passion.
I then got to attend Barbara’s weekend on Conscious Leadership at Hummingbird Community (more about Hummingbird soon). It was a transformational experience of co-creative teamwork, the core for me being each of us ‘taking authority’ for our unique gifts to the world. You will hear more soon about what transpired out of this gathering. But for now, look what appeared in the sky as we were leaving. Don’t you love those messages from Nature.
Excerpt from Barbara Marx Hubbard’s 1984 acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention when her name was placed in nomination for Vice President of the United States.
After the use of atomic bombs in World War II, Barbara Marx Hubbard at the age of 22 asked President Eisenhower, “What is the meaning of all our new powers that is good?”
Eisenhower replied, “I have no idea.”
Barbara replied, “Then we’d better find out.”
Thus began the journey for the creation of the White House Solutions Council. For 60 years Barbara has held the vision for the formation of a peace room as sophisticated as our war room. Meanwhile our country has been unable to solve the growing problems that have led us to the crises we’re currently facing. Our goal is to establish a center that will seek common goals and match needs and resources for the implementation of creative problem solving. Out of the breakdowns in our society we see breakthroughs in every field: health, education, environment, economics, government, etc. The White House Solutions Council would be a clearinghouse to seek new ideas for the betterment of humanity. The Citizens Solutions Council believes that with change imminent, a new administration can be empowered during this convention to implement this vision.
The White House Solutions Council
A Center for identifying, connecting and communicating
What’s Working in America
As America is poised at the threshold of political change, the citizens of our country are looking for solutions to the critical issues confronting our nation. The Citizens Solutions Council is proposing to re-energize the office of the Vice President and add a function to focus on innovations that can become the basis for the change our nation is demanding. Every citizen can contribute to this Center to help connect and communicate these positive solutions to resolve our current problems.
We propose the White House Solutions Council be established in the Office of the Vice President to encourage and highlight the creativity of the American people.
The White House Solutions Council will become a clearinghouse to match needs and resources for social innovations, solutions and projects that are already working in the fields of education, health, environment, economics etc.
Databases of empirical solutions are growing by the day. The Vice President’s office would provide a home for the marriage of human creativity and economic implementation.
Therefore, just as a simple comment to John F. Kennedy initiated the birth of the Peace Corps, the Citizens Solution Council proposes at this convention that the next administration create the White House Solutions Council as a new function for the office of the Vice President.
Most social problems have been solved by someone, somewhere, but the solutions are not widely known. With the help of the media and the instantaneous power of the Internet, these solutions can become reality.
Thanks to the Big Tent for providing the venue where this concept will be brought forth and inspire the grassroots movement that will promote greater creativity in problem solving for our future government.

I have just had a transformational weekend at Hummingbird Ranch in northern New Mexico, where I was honored to become a founding member of the Citizens Solutions Council.
I would like to invite you to also join.
We have six days until the Democratic National Convention, where Barbara Marx Hubbard will be launching an appeal to form the White House Solutions Council in the office of the Vice President.
It is our intention to make a similar presentation at the Republican National Convention in September.
The Alliance for a Sustainable Colorado is hosting The Big Tent at the Democratic National Convention, where we will be able to present our petition with thousands of names showing our support for positive change in our government.
Please read the declaration below and add your name as your voice to actualize this vision whose time has come. Sending this on to your network and asking your friends to do the same will multiply our numbers so we will be able to be heard by the new government.
