The Evolution Trip

Beneath the fantastic celebrations of life, humanity and creativity that occur during the annual seven day Burning Man Festival, there is a powerful spiritual under current that pervades this event. When 50,000 people come together not to transact but to interact without money and normal roles the separation consciousness that divides us so often in “normal life” dissolves. Many who attend Burning Man feel this beautiful connection, even if they may not be completely conscious of it.

This year’s official theme for Burning Man 2009 (the first week of September) is “Evolution”. Given that our world is at the proverbial cross roads, I’m excited about this year’s evolution theme. I believe we either evolve our consciousness so that we live in harmony with each other and the natural world or greed and fear will prevail and lead us into ecological, economic and societal destruction. Our fate and that of our world is in our hands, minds and souls.

I invite you to join me at Burning Man to screen movies that will inspire all of us to choose to evolve our hearts and consciousness toward the realization that, like waves in the ocean, we are all connected to the flow of the Universe. Please feel free to suggest videos that you think should be shown during Evolution Cinema Night by adding a comment below. For a beautiful description of this emerging consciousness view the below short presentation by the amazing spiritual teacher Marianne Williams.

Evolution Cinema Night – Movies for Screening:

One amazing movie that I suggest we show is “Humanity Ascending” with Barbara Marx Hubbard. This forty minute documentary featuring author and futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard focuses on our conscious evolution and suggests a vision toward our evolution and birth as a new humanity. After witnessing the nuclear bombing of Japan during World War II at the age of 15, Barbara Marx Hubbard dedicated her life to answering the question of how our technological power can be consciously directed to advance the world and all living beings. She envisions us evolving from Homo Sapiens into Homo Spiritus.

Watch the movie trailer for Humanity Ascending –

What the BLEEP Do We Know — First released in theaters in 2004, WTBDWK!? went on to become one of the most successful documentaries of all time. Now distributed in over 30 countries, it has stunned audiences with its revolutionary cinematic blend of dramatic film, documentary, animation and comedy, while serving up a mind-jarring blend of Quantum Physics, spirituality, neurology and evolutionary thought.

Other Far Out consciousness raising videos Ed Buryn, the Author of Vagabonding in the USA, intends to bring a few of his favorite consciousness raising videos, including Zeitgeist I and II (the Addendum).

    Okay … What The Bleep Do We Know? looks AMAZING! Please show this one! Speaking of the “other” side of life, did you hear that a woman that missed the AirFrance flight last week died in a car accident? How freaky is that? It sort of brought up all my undecided thoughts on destiny.

    I’ve been trying to think of other movies for you to show and I feel like I’ve seen a few, but nothing is coming to mind. I will try desperately to bring a few titles to mind though!

    Feedback on the first two flicks ~

    I dig what Marianne Williams has to say, but I don’t think I could listen to her longer than what is on this clip. Interesting concept, sort of boring to watch. I would rather have some sort of “round table” discussion on the topic than listen to this.

    I am stoked about the Humanity Ascending trailer and be very interested in seeing the film. I have often thought that the “advances” we make in technology and medicine may, in fact, be working against us. It seems to me that this is the point in this film, so I would be interested in seeing this and chatting with others about what they think of it as well.

    I didn’t watch the Zeitgeist clip. Not sure if I’ll get to it anytime soon, but will try to squeeze it in. Will let you know if I think of anything else.

    JoAnna,

    Thanks for your comments. I think it would be interesting to have a group discussion during Evolution Cinema night. A common theme that I see in the evolutionary consciousness movement is that people need to move beyond seeking to fill their inner void with things that thousands of hours of advertising have taught them to believe they need to be adequate and happy. In addition this movement believes that true salvation comes from rediscovering it within – with no need for stuff beyond the basics. If we were all to live by the motto “Live Simply so that Others may Simply Live”, the world would be healthier. I’ve come to see the wisdom in this movement and I’d enjoy hearing others reactions as well.

    Be well and keep evolving. Pat
