Dawn of an Era of Well-Being: The Podcast with Garry Jacobs

Dawn of an Era of Well-Being: The Podcast with Garry Jacobs
Feb 22, 2022 by Ervin Laszlo

EPISODE N. 10 | GARRY JACOBS – Today’s discussion: Our world is entering what may be referred to as the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This is an era marked by technological advances which manufacture machines that are capable of outperforming human beings in a variety of activities and with the introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI.), this will include “thinking”.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution was ushered in by the Third Industrial Revolution from which we are only now emerging and was characterized by a widespread dissemination of information—steam and electricity were the attributes of the First and Second Industrial Revolutions, respectively. As A.I. becomes more prevalent technology will continue to reshape and revolutionize human life, blurring the distinction between physical, digital, and biological systems and processes.

Could many of the problems that the world faces today—Social injustice, climate change, pandemics, and so forth—be the result of humankind using the tenets of an old paradigm in an arena where they no longer apply?

EPISODE N. 9 | KINGSLEY DENNIS – Today’s discussion starts off with an investigation of storylines and narratives.

Are storylines a necessity for the human species, perhaps an element that is intrinsic to our DNA? What role do they serve in furthering our evolutionary progress to a new paradigm, and how often are they at odds with such progress? Do storylines have an expiration date at which they outlive their usefulness and then require a new narrative to take over?

Helping us to answer some of these questions we are joined by the renowned author, researcher, and futurist Kingsley Dennis. This deeply informative discussion moves on to explore such matters as the price of excessive individualism and the spirit of play.

EPISODE N. 8 | MICHAEL BECKWITH – In this episode, Ervin and Alison are joined by Michael Bernard Beckwith, Founder and Spiritual Director of the Agape International Spiritual Center.

Agape is a term from ancient Greek meaning “unconditional love” and since its founding in 1986, the Agape Center has pursued a mission of fostering a living environment for individuals to realize that they are unique emanations of God, the Love-Intelligence governing the Universe. Today Michael and our hosts discuss the distinction between our ego and the subtle voice of guiding consciousness, and how to navigate between the two.

From there, we also engage in a conversation about intentionality, the costs and benefits of new technology, and how to lead a meaningful life.

Change Your Mindset!
Feb 03, 2022 by Ervin Laszlo
In my last blog, “Evolution: The Force Is with Us” I wrote that there is a force in the universe that is active in you and in me, and is a great resource in our quest for a better life and a better world. I now want to add that while this force exists and is with us—indeed, it is in us—making use of it hinges on a crucial factor: the nature of your mindset.

Roger also shares some of his thoughts about Artificial Intelligence and his favorite quote from the Jesuit priest, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin: “Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.”

In this Add Heart® Podcast episode, our guest Ervin Laszlo, Ph.D, a systems scientist, Nobel Peace Prize nominee, and founder-director of the Laszlo Institute of New Paradigm Research in Italy, joins our host Deborah Rozman, Ph.D., to talk about the critical importance of this time and the essential role of the heart for the future of humanity.

Ervin Laszlo, Ph.D, Founder-Director of the Laszlo Institute of New Paradigm Research For humanity to learn to get along with each other, it will require more heart. Despite the seemingly unsolvable separation and polarization between people and groups that we see, there is also an amplification of the collective heart throughout the planet. More people are realizing that we are all interconnected, and we need to help each other through increasing kindness and care. The omnipresent virus, climate change and extreme weather events, and an uncertain future are waking us up to our interdependence with each other and with nature.

EPISODE N. 3 | MICHAEL TOBIAS – In Michael Tobias’s ten-part docuseries, “Voice of the Planet,” the voice of Gaia played by Faye Dunaway, makes it clear that Nature is a self-regulating system, further suggesting that no species is exempt from extinction—including Humanity. This begs the question that if there’s no purpose to perpetuating our survival other than our sheer desire, what’s our reason for being here?

In today’s podcast Michael Tobias speaks with host Ervin Laszlo and moderator Alison Goldwyn to contemplate the value of the human species, and why it is (or perhaps is not) important for us to continue our stay on this planet. This episode concludes with co-host Fred Tsao offering some of his own thoughts on the same subject.

EVOLUTION — ‘The Force’ That is With Us

EVOLUTION — ‘The Force’ That is With Us
Dec 21, 2021 by Ervin Laszlo
There is a force in the universe that empowers and guides us to meet the challenges of our time. This force is not one of the known physical forces, a push-pull kinetic-energy force. It is a subtle impetus, an almost spiritual leaning or tendency. In the language of the life sciences, it can be called “a tropism,” an attraction toward particular resources or conditions. In the context of the systems sciences, it is an “attractor.” Attractors are conceptual tools for measuring the state of a complex system, assessing the configuration of the forces that maintain it in a steady- or in a dynamically evolving state. 

May the force be with you!

The Wisdom Principles - Publishers Weekly review

The Wisdom Principles - Publishers Weekly review
Jul 20, 2021 by Ervin Laszlo

Hungarian philosopher Ervin Laszlo (Reconnecting to the Source) melds science and spiritual practice in this shrewd guide to enlightened living. He begins by highlighting the need to live a life that is both healthy for Earth and beneficial to oneself, stressing that if readers “think globally, [their] life [will] become richer and healthier.” Laszlo explores how spiritual thinking, which is concerned with “experiential and presentational” knowledge, and the concept of “oneness” allows access to knowledge beyond one’s sensual understandings of the natural world.

Today we have an opportunity to create a new future.  We are moving out of the aftermath of a global crisis and face the task of rebuilding our world.  But do we have to “re-build” it in the strict sense of building its as it was — or can we build another world, a better world”. This possibility exists, and it poses an unprecedented challenge. Authors: Ervin Laszlo & Frederick Tsao, foreword by Deepak Chopra: Dawn of An Era of Well-Being does not offer a prediction — it respects the saying, “the future is not to be predicted, but created.”

In this book, Ervin Laszlo recounts the story of his life, describing its fundamental transformations from musician to academic to global activist. But this story, he tells the reader, is more than an entertaining read – it also conveys a message. It shows that the quest that has marked Laszlo’s life is profound and meaningful, and important also for the reader. It is the quest find the purpose that underlies our life. Laszlo marshals scientific evidence that life is not a meaningless accident, but the expression of a universal drive in nature: the drive toward the evolution of complex and coherent systems, and of the consciousness that is associated with the systems. 

"In this interdependent and interacting quantum universe, this discovery endows your life, and all you do in your life, with supreme meaning and significance. By any measure, Ervin Laszlo has lived an extraordinary life that has unfolded within time as well as outside of time, and the world is a better place because he chose to do so.– Gregg Braden, in his Introduction to this book
