This VoiceAmerica Special points to, and shares from, an important international event of the esteemed Galileo Commission, Dec. 29-30, 2023, featuring contributors to the important new book THE GREAT UPSHIFT: HUMANITY'S COMING ADVANCE TOWARD PEACE AND HARMONY ON THE PLANET, "Roadmaps for Planetary Activists" (https://amzn.to/3PklmXB) by two-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee Ervin Laszlo and David Lorimer, Chair of the Galileo Commission. The Galileo Commission was founded in 2017 to expand the worldview of science. Ninety advisors representing thirty universities worldwide published the well known GALILEO COMMISSION REPORT, which is available in both academic and general public versions: BEYOND A MATERIALIST WORLDVIEW—TOWARDS AN EXPANDED SCIENCE. Contributors to THE GREAT UPSHIFT agree: We have reached a historic turning point -- a 'point of bifurcation' at which we must find new ways to upshift our individual and collective consciousness to ensure the desired resolution of the world's crises. The Great Upshift offers roadmaps for all of us to do this." This vital book is a compendium of insights into solutions for our world, troubled by climate change, conflict, and unsustainable conditions and calls for our conscious participation in universal values of love and care that we all share-- and which point us toward a world that works for all. David Lorimer cohosts this VoiceAmerica Special, hosting first Ervin Laszlo and then, in order of appearance: Ben Bowler of UNITY EARTH and three time Nautilus Award Winner Dr. Robert Atkinson speaking about this December program and also a February 2024 event with Lazslo, Lorimer and other guests entitled" Awakening to Humanity's Sacred Mission, An International Symposium and Call to Action", February 9-11, 2024.
