The Convergence: Humanity's Moment of Choice

“HUMANITY’S MOMENT OF CHOICE: HOLOMOVEMENT” explores what “Holomovement” means-- and the global community “THE HOLOMOVEMENT” (at holomovement.net) that is advancing Holomovement vision and action-- excitingly toward Love and a world that works for all. This Special also marks the occasion of the Holomovement’s new free e-publication which we direct you to immediately below. More than just a catchy title, Holomovement has become a name to rally around for global collaborative social change. It was first coined by David Bohm, American physicist and contemporary of Einstein-- echoing the millennial vision of the world’s Great Wisdom Traditions and current cutting edge science-- that our Universe is a unified whole in which our deepest human experience is an intimate part. It affirms that since all actions in the Universe ultimately unfold for the good of the whole, we can say We and our Universe are really about Love and the well-being of all. We direct you to a colorful free e-publication about all this at ISSUU.com/lightonlight. Click there on the multi-colored cover entitled THE HOLOMOVEMENT WAVE: CO-CREATING A RIPPLE EFFECT OF CHANGE. See also the book THE HOLOMOVEMENT: EMBRACING OUR COLLECTIVE PURPOSE TO UNITE HUMANITY (available at all booksellers) edited by Emanuel Kuntzelman and Jill Robinson, In this episode, Emanuel joins eight other key members of the Holomovement Core Team to discuss multiple aspects of the Holomovement vision and work. Guests are Emanuel Kuntzleman, Paulette Pipe, Scarlett Lewis, Mariko Pitts, Zenka Caro, Adam Cupell, Yasmine El Baggari, and Laura Rose. Guided by science and spirituality, this unifying movement is part of catalyzing a massive shift in human consciousness. The Evolutionary Leaders Circle, a project of the Source of Synergy Foundation, which sponsors and hosts Humanity’s Moment of Choice is pleased to present this program. It also partnered with The Holomovement for its “Igniting the Holomovement”” event in Sedona Arizona in 2023 and its Holomovement Wave event in 2024 in Ibiza Spain. Light on Light Publications and Media publishes this Humanity’s Moment of Choice Series, produced both Holomovement publications.

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.

As humanity, we’re standing at a crossroads. The only institution that’s powerful enough and able to deal with the pace of change is business. And yet is business really conscious of the urgent needs of the global whole today? Regarding critical need for change, how can we transform businesses so they’ll take the lead for the good of all? What can we do as individuals to transform the way we work? Learn from two globally leading change-makers. Paul Polman, former CEO of Unilever and author of NetPositive, one of the most visible Conscious Leaders in the world, has successfully turned an organization of over 100,000 people towards purpose and contribution. Entrepreneur, global strategist and founder of the World Business Academy, Rinaldo Brutoco, offers an eye-opening overview of what we’ll be facing during the coming years, and what we can do to address the challenges ahead of us – both as an individuals and as organizations. Hosted by Bend & Stretch founder, Maryama Marong, and Peter Matthies of the Conscious Business Institute, the interviews in this episode with Paul Polman and Rinaldo Brutoco are hand-picked excerpts, with permission from the Conscious Business Institute Master Program, to catalyze this pivotal discussion. Joining the previous 2022 VoiceAmerica Specials by Synergy Circles of the Evolutionary Leaders (a project of the Source of Synergy Foundation), we follow Humanity's Moment of Choice: Choosing Earth, Choosing Peace, Choosing to Serve, and Voices for a Thriving Future with Conscious Leadership Also, enjoy Paul Polman, Rinaldo Brutoco and Peter Matthies' previous appearances on The Convergence in the past Show List -- Conscious Business for a Flourishing World, 12/13/ 2019 and 1/17/2020.

Following Choosing Earth, Choosing Peace, and Voices for a Thriving Future, the Evolutionary Leaders are thrilled to be presenting Choosing to Serve. It features especially Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati (Sadhviji) of the Parmarth Niketan Ashram in Rishikesh, India. Sadhviji is a recent recipient of President Joe Biden's Presidential Citation for Lifetime Achievement and service, and author of the recently acclaimed book FROM HOLLYWOOD TO THE HIMALAYAS: A JOURNEY OF HEALING AND TRANSFORMATION. She dialogues deeply with Convergence and Light on Light Media Host, Karuna, and Denise Scotto, Esq., Chairperson of The International Day of Yoga Committee at the United Nations. The discussion follows from this annual event, celebrated each June, and its emphasis on the ongoing myriad realms of service performed by Yoga communities all around the world. These are featured in an October 2022 special issue of LIGHT ON LIGHT MAGAZINE (issuu.com/lightonlight). Sadhviji's work encompasses a vast area of public service including personal and environmental health, education, sanitation, public hygiene, and the well-being especially of women and children. She emphasizes that it is the unitive consciousness-- that we have emphasized in all these Evolutionary Leaders’ broadcasts-- spirituality, spiritual practice and the balance of Being and Doing, that well-springs a life of service. And it, in turn, ignites real Transformation-- across entire human communities. The discussion deeply relates spirituality and transformative action, on all levels of scale. It connects truly with the message of the Evolutionary Leaders’ book, featured across these broadcasts, OUR MOMENT OF CHOICE: EVOLUTIONARY VISIONS AND HOPE FOR THE FUTURE. Join us for this profound broadcast, brought to you for The International Day of Non-Violence, October 2, 2022.

There has been nothing more elusive in our human history than peace, although it is the most desired element in human life. Cycles of war and violence seem to repeat with each generation. How can we meet this challenge with vision and hope? It’s time for champions of peace—at personal and collective levels—to share their hearts, and share their visions. In this VoiceAmerica Special -- “HUMANITY’S MOMENT OF CHOICE: CHOOSING PEACE”-- from the Evolutionary Leaders Circle, peace champions from activist, arts and media communities, and the policy-making world, gather to confront this challenging time—with vision, and with hope.

The first program in this new series HUMANITY'S MOMENT OF CHOICE is CHOOSING EARTH, timed for the season of celebrations around Earth Day. Joining from the Ecological Civilization Synergy Circle of the Evolutionary Leaders (https://www.evolutionaryleaders.net/) are renowned authors Duane Elgin and David Korten, known for their many important books on this theme, and, from the original Earth Charter Commission, Dr. Richard Clugston. Also joining are cosmologist and author Jude Currivan, author and thought leader Laura George, and-- from recent Earth Day celebrations in California and New York City-- Scott Catamas of Awakening World and Mitchell J.

Human beings have a powerful affinity for stories. Stories from the deepest levels of our being and experience—spiritual stories-- have potent effects on how we live our lives. Deepak Chopra (METAHUMAN) and Gregg Braden (THE WISDOM CODES) join William Henry, Sister Jenna, Sister Jayanti, Temple Hayes, Oscar Miro-Quesada, Steven Farmer, Mindahi Bastida Muñoz and J. J. and Desiree Hurtak (authors from the COMMON SENTIENCE book series) In inspiring discussion for this VoiceAmerica Convergence Special. Ariel Patricia of Sacred Stories Publishing and Media and Dr. Kurt Johnson of The Convergence (OUR MOMENT OF CHOICE) host. From their own experience, guests discuss the power of spiritual stories across the mystical arenas of meditation and contemplation, our relationship to nature and the landscape of indigenous shamanism, and the process of personal maturation, awakening and ascension. The emerging science of story speaks to narrative’s exceptional power to shape minds and hearts. We find good stories captivating, even spellbinding, and story narratives move us in ways rational argument can’t. In these turbulent times, sharing our spiritual stories can lead us to lives of goodness, altruism and abiding well-being.
