Powers of the Universe: EMERGENCE

3/17/2019

Note: In the Powers of the Universe, cosmologist Brian Swimme provides a synthesis of scientific and spiritual worldviews, empowering people to rediscover and remember who they truly are in the greater story of life, and situate the larger challenges of our day as part of the journey of the Universe. This view leads to a positive, life-affirming vision of human potential, one that calls for a new level of ecological responsibility, wisdom, and relatedness. In the process, Swimme demonstrates how science and spiritual traditions can find common ground in a worldview that is evolutionary, scientific, and filled with reverence and wonder.

"The cosmological powers of the Universe are coursing through us moment by moment. To become aware of these powers is to touch the source of life,” -Brian Swimme

Third Power: EMERGENCE
the power of creativity and how the Universe transcends itself
We’ve discovered that the universe is not a place; it’s a STORY, A STORY of an irreversible sequence of emergent events. For a long time, we thought the universe was an established realm that had its major creativity happening only at the beginning of time.  Now we understand that the universe is an ONGOING CREATIVE EVENT. Stars came forth, galaxies came forth, planets have emerged, life burst into existence. This power of emergence could also be called ONGOING CREATIVITY.  In some ways, it’s the greatest discovery in the history of the human sciences—that the universe as a whole, and each being in it, is permeated with the power of EMERGENCE.
