(pronounced "sci-y") by rjon on August 11, 2006 07:50AM (PDT) Our Purpose Vision: To consider emerging planetary science and culture in the light of Sri Aurobindo's integral yoga through mutually respectful dialogue, creative imagination, critical inquiry and non-dual epistemologies. Mission: To discern trends within contemporary arts, sciences and technologies which appear to facilitate (or not) the co-evolution of integral spirituality, scientific research and emerging planetary culture. Goals: To foster intra- and inter-community dialog among those who actively aspire to create a terrestrial environment which will advance an integral evolution of consciousness and thus a world of increasing truth, beauty and sustainable human unity. Who we are: The founders and core group of SCIY are engaged in the study and practice of Sri Aurobindo's "Integral Yoga," a non-sectarian spiritual path toward realizing "a living embodiment of an actual Human Unity."* - Our aspiration for SCIY is to foster inclusive scientific, cultural and spiritual research that serves this realization. We invite those who share this aspiration to join us. -------- * Quote from Sri Aurobindo's spiritual colleague, Mirra Alfassa (also known as "the Mother"), in her Charter for the Auroville universal township project being built near Pondicherry, India. _____________ "There are people who love adventure.

As an aspect of Future Education, Dr. Otto Ulrich, Germany, has proposed a card game around climate change, world energy politics, energy efficiency and “Good Governance”.

The field of humanity is pregnant with a new turning of the wheel, a new understanding and view of what it is to be human and with that realization the responsibility to act in resonance with the evolutionary impulse that is consciously emerging from the depth of our being. <br> <br> The adventure of consciousness and evolution is now inherently collective.<br> <br> In our own experience, becoming more engaged in this evolutionary wave of securing the future and making it possible for something new to arise, has been greatly nourished by our participation in some thing bigger than ourselves and our personal self-interest. It is with this sense of purpose and stewardship that a few of us have taken on the mission to establish the Ecodaya Island Sanctuary. ...</i> Main Page ..
