LF230 Ervin Laszlo – The Intelligence of the Cosmos: Why Are We Here?

Ervin Laszlo discusses his book The Intelligence of the Cosmos: Why Are We Here? New Answers from the Frontiers of Science.

For the outdated mainstream paradigm, the universe is a giant mechanism functioning in accordance with known and knowable laws, patterns, and regularities. But the new paradigm emerging in science offers a different concept – a universe as an interconnected, coherent whole, informed by a cosmic intelligence. This is not a finite, mechanistic, purely material model – it is a holistic system infused with consciousness, and within it, we are conscious beings who emerge and co-evolve as complex vibrations in what Laszlo calls the Akashic Field of the universe.

With his collaborators from the forefront of science, cosmology, and spirituality Laszlo shows how the re-discovery of who we are and why we are here integrates seamlessly with ancient wisdom traditions as well as with the radical new world-view of cutting-edge science, revealing a meaningful and positive way forward for humanity on this planet. They explain how we have reached a point of critical incoherence and show that in order to save ourselves, our environment, and our society, we need a critical mass of people to consciously evolve new thinking. Offering signposts to orient this evolution, Laszlo examines the nature of consciousness in the universe, showing how our bodies and minds act as conduits for cosmic consciousness, and how understanding science’s new concept of reality enables us to grasp our true identity and purpose.
