In cooperation between Fielding’s Global Democracy and Human Rights Dialogue Series and The Laszlo Institute of New Paradigm Research
Ervin Laszlo is perhaps best known as the father of systems philosophy and more recently as the voice of science in service of human attunement with the deeper dynamics of evolutionary emergence of life on Earth and throughout the cosmos. Now at ninety-three, he has an urgent message for humanity: we need an upshift in consciousness that will take us from attempts at coexistence to a decidedly cooperative engagement with all life.
In this session, he will share how he sees such an upshift taking place, indicating how and where it is already happening. He will show the trailer to his forthcoming documentary film, A Life Beyond the Box: The Ervin Laszlo Story, and lead an interactive discussion with friends of Fielding on his perspective of how to change the world, starting with ourselves.
The companion book, to be published by Waterside Productions along with the film at the end of this year, is evocatively titled The Sacred Quest: Becoming One on Planet Earth. Ervin will share information about his recent work and the life he has lead and continues to lead in service of this sacred quest. After our conversation with Ervin, we will invite everyone to envision a better future for us and the planet in dialogue. Come join him.
