I just watched "The Awakening Universe", a short 15 minute film by Neal Rogin available from The Pachamama Alliance, and I am completely floored by how elegantly this piece was written and presented. It is the perfect introduction to The New Story as envisioned by Thomas Berry and Brian Swimme. If you are unfamiliar with the concept, The New Story is the emerging cosmology where all of creation is shown to be an integral system as confirmed by science but told through a poetic lense. As Thomas Berry says ~ "If you are going to tell the story of anything, you have to tell the story of everything." Allowing for context in this day and age is of paramount importance, wherein we derive meaning and value, and The New Story provides that in a way undreamt of until very very recently. It is the ultimate marriage of new world and old, of brain and heart, of thought and wisdom, and I would recommend, nay urge, all thinking, caring, compassionate, and aware souls to support, spread widely, share, and watch this blessed creation.
If I had one magical wish for my entire lifetime, I would want everyone alive to view this film.
Always Love,
Eric
