Andrew Cohen - A REvolutionary Worldview: God Particles, Higgs Boson & The Meaning of Life 08/01/12

Summary: Science is usually focused on more specific issues, but with the recent discovery of the Higgs Boson, or “God Particle,” the global conversation about science is expanding to include bigger, more philosophhical questions, like “Where did we come from?” ... “How did something come from nothing?” ... and causing many to ponder anew the meaning of existence. Science and spirituality are often thought to be at odds, but Julie Ann's ConsciousSHIFT guest Andrew Cohen shares that Evolutionary Enlightenment is a spirituality that is informed by the latest discoveries in science, like the Higgs boson, particularly in relationship to the evolution of the cosmos. More than that, it is often through these “big science” projects like the Large Hadron Collider that scientists discover unimaginable things - and these discoveries, in turn, inevitably spark philosophical questions - questions that only a more evolutionary spiritual view may encompass - and resolve within a higher harmony and wholeness. Julie Ann and Andrew will explore these fascinating questions in this thought-provoking ConsciousSHIFT Show. Moreover, Andrew redefines spiritual awakening for our contemporary world — a world characterized by exponential change and an ever-expanding appreciation for the processes of evolution, as he reveals in his latest book, Evolutionary Enlightenment. The message Andrew shares with Julie Ann - and you - is simple, yet profound: Life is evolution, and enlightenment is about waking up to this fundamentally creative impulse as your own deepest, most authentic self. You'll want to join Julie Ann and Andrew in this dynamic conversation - as it not only makes deep sense of life today, it will show you how to play an active role in shaping the world of tomorrow.
