200. GLOBAL EVOLUTION IN CONSCIOUSNESS (GEC)
Mankind shares the inherent need for exploring the
mysteries of life, understanding purpose, and developing
insight that aligns with a greater Consciousness.
Traditional cultures offer blueprints for the consonance
between the material nature of life and our innermost
being and reality. With globalization, explanations of
origin, identity, and purpose offered by mythology,
religion and science, are no longer the exclusive domain
of a single people, region or spiritual practice. In
order to release the human potential necessary for the
next evolutionary leap in consciousness, there must be a
return to the Source of the creative imagination that
lies within each one of us. In this course we will
explore the basic questions of life: Why are we here?
What kind of physical universe (cosmos) do we inhabit?
By what process of evolution did humanity emerge from
the matrix of nature to become self-conscious and
creative? How can individuals set aside their
differences through conscious group work for a
harmonious humanity to evolve? Through such questioning
and guided experiential exercises, including a deeply
comprehensive training in a variety of meditation
practices, we will help our
students develop a meaningful personal philosophy and
sense of values, grow in their ability to analyze life’s
myriad challenges, move to logical and insightful
conclusions, and act with thoughtfulness and
compassion. 12 units (4 semesters)
This course is required of all students as all
classes will build upon its foundational principles and
because it is the cornerstone for our common emergence
as a consciously evolving university.
