Hello Dear Friends, Seekers and Cultural Creatives,
The End Is Nigh
Whether you are following the news, surfing the web, or even looking out your own window, it is apparent that the planet is caught up in a wave of global chaos. Ranging from political, to social, to economic, to racial and religious upheaval, civilization is in a state of disharmony.
Seemingly disconnected, all the chaos is driven by an under-publicized reality that is undermining all of civilization: our current civilization is unsustainable. The unappreciated fact is that society is living beyond the Earth’s available resources. To maintain itself, humans have pillaged the planet’s resources, destabilized the environment, polluted the air, the soil and the ocean. In the last fifty years, human behavior has led to the loss of over two thirds of the planet’s animal population.
Contributing to the problem is that human civilization holds the belief that we are a separate, independent entity from Nature. This separation was first introduced to Western Civilization in the Bible’s chapter, Genesis, wherein God first creates Nature and then later introduces humans as a separate act of Creation.
Later, Darwinian science’s view of evolution suggested that humans arose because of series of accidental genetic mutations. If we are the result of random alterations in heredity, the implication is that our appearance on Earth was simply a matter of chance, with no apparent reason for our existence.
Our belief in a purposeless dominion over the planet is destroying the web of life to the extent that we are now facing a mass extinction event. Science recognizes that we are on a path that will result an “irreversible” collapse of civilization within the next 20 years. We are running out of time to change the course of our fate. While the notion of a collapse of civilization seems too many to be a radical assumption, the simple fact is that Western Civilization has already experienced the rise and fall of three previous versions of civilization: Animism, Polytheism, and Monotheism. The current, and collapsing, version of civilization is defined asScientific Materialism.
Spontaneous Evolution (Lipton and Bhaerman, 2009) revealed that the character of each civilization is shaped by the answers to a set of Perennial Questions about the origin of humans and our relationship to the planet. There are three fundamental Perennial Questions:
- How did we get here?
- Why are we here?
- Now that we are here, how do we make the best of it?
The current civilization is based on the prevailing answers to these questions: (1) How did we get here? Random genetic mutations. (2) Why are we here? No reason, it was just genetic accidents. (3) How to make the best of it? Survival of the fittest in the struggle for life.
When the Perennial Questions answers change, it inevitably leads to a new version of civilization accommodating the new answers. Over that last 30 years, modern science has experienced a renaissance in its fundamental beliefs that revise the answers to the Perennial Questions. The new answers are as follows:
- How did we get here? Cooperative interaction between humans and environment in which we evolved.
- Why are we here? Humans are an element of the Garden in which we evolved. A Garden represents harmony among the community of organisms comprising that Garden, it is not the Darwinian battleground as we have been perceiving it.
- How do we make the best of it? As the Indigenous people first recognized, our role is to be gardeners who help keep balance and harmony among all the organisms comprising the web of life.
The new answers to the questions reveal why our current civilization is in chaotic decline as we are on the threshold of manifesting a new version of civilization, one that will not only sustain us but help us thrive into the future.
The new theory, Conscious Evolution, described in my forth coming book, Beyond Darwin, transcends the current self-destructive consequences of Darwinian theory and offers a guide to a sustainable future.
Wishing you a Cooperative, Healthy and Peaceful Holiday Season,
Bruce

12 years ago, Laurent Goldstein produced his first film “Your Second Fifty, Rising Above the Fears of Aging”. The purpose of the film was to inspire people not to buy into limiting beliefs related to aging and to implement solutions to create their best life in their second fifty. Bruce provided the scientific backbone of the film, as an extension of his “Biology of Belief” principles. 12 years later, Laurent decided to revisit this concept, and dig deeper in the many recent discoveries that are helping people stay vibrant and fully alive as they chronologically age. The new film, “Your Second Fifty, Listen to the Lion“, is an educational, emotional and inspiring journey into the world of longevity, biohacking, philosophy, and spirituality with a big emphasis on nature and music. People will learn from the top scientists and experts as well as regular people living their best life in their fifties, sixties, seventies, and beyond.
Join “Your Second Fifty, Listen to the Lion” global online film premeir that will take you deeper into empowering and revolutionary concept in the longevity space, thriving for both lifespan and healthspan. Watch the YSF Film
Bruce Recommends
Our child-friendly rhymes with positive affirmations and simple visual depictions are designed to leverage this natural Theta state. They offer gentle, repeated reinforcement of positive beliefs, subtly shaping a child’s subconscious. This approach helps to replace limiting beliefs with empowering ones, such as “I am loved” or “I am good just the way I am.”
