The great discovery of four centuries of modern science is the cosmic creativity that constructed two trillion galaxies out of the primordial elementary particles that emerged fourteen billion years ago. The great challenge of the present moment is to articulate the ways in which this new cosmology resonates with the essential core of our wisdom traditions. We are more than Democrats and Republicans, more than Americans and Chinese, more than Christians and Muslims. We are all cosmological beings with a destiny that is tied to this cosmic creativity. This Zoom event is offered in collaboration with The Well Spirituality Center which is celebrating its 25th anniversary.
