Prof Ervin Laszlo – The Upshift: Humanity’s Sacred Mission
What is the mission of humanity?
Humankind has reached the critical bifurcation and is on the threshold of a new phase, This phase is already launching and is bringing the upshift to the next stage of humanity’s evolution. It is our task to recognize and empower the new phase transforming its potential into the new reality.
What is the evidence for this optimistic assessment and how can we act on it? These questions are the challenge contemporary humanity confronts. Facing it is the sacred quest for all conscious and responsible members of the human family.
