“The
Center for Human Emergence will help facilitate the conscious
emergence of the human species using a synthesis of profound breakthroughs
in human knowledge and capabilities, encompassing natural pattern
coherence, mega-integration, unification, expanded whole mind
capacity, deep intelligence and consciousness"

The Center for Human
Emergence (CHE) will function as a global facilitator of the conscious
evolution of the human species.
The Center for Human Emergence
will be a major international force for encouraging and facilitating
a conscious or "directed" cultural evolution in the
world. It will operate on a number of levels, including understanding
- in a far more comprehensive way than in the past - the cultural
underpinnings that drive human behavior, and will be focused on
unification rather than fragmentation, presuming that cooperation
is more in line with the future we need than competition. CHE
will thus find innovative solutions for some of the most complex
problems facing the world today, encouraging the development of
new tools for making sense of the change that surrounds us, as
well as actively helping humanity to embrace new values and perspectives
that could provide the framework for significant change.
The (CHE) will provide the foundation
of a new international framework for facilitating the transition
toward a new era for humanity that better addresses the most fundamental
problems that we confront.
The Need
For centuries humanity has largely
been reactive rather than proactive: focused on the present and
the immediate future, responding to problems, providing only what
was then presently required. Now, for the first time in history,
humanity is confronted with potential events that are global in
scope and too disastrous to allow happen. The only way to assure
that these catastrophes do not transpire is to become different
people with different tools. We must see ourselves and the world
around us in fundamentally new ways and then approach our tasks
with new, less intrusive tools.
There is a rapidly growing awareness that these are unique times
- that global trends now in place will collide in the near future
producing extreme uncertainty for humanity unless we quickly learn
how to scan the horizon, see problems holistically and from a
cultural perspective, choose the future we want, and move quickly
in that direction. What is required is directed human cultural
evolution moving us to a new level of awareness, with a new set
of values.
Our Purpose
State-of-the-art new tools and
theories can be brought together for the first time to provide
some of the key requirements for encouraging large-scale social
change both in terms of understanding human behavior and in anticipating
potential futures.
The Center for Human Emergence
will comprise a collection of functions – some of which
represent profound breakthroughs in human knowledge and capability
– which will, in concert, represent a potential watershed
for our species. CHE will, as global cartographers, generate electronic
maps designed to monitor the deepest level waves of chaos and
order, change and stability, and progress and regression within
our collective selves. CHE will be unique in that it will focus
on the deeper codes that lie beneath our worldviews, belief systems,
and behavior patterns.
By connecting individual projects,
in an integrated center, many different groups working on aspects
of the larger problems can be coordinated in a commitment to fundamental
change.
Centers : Copenhagen and USA
Additional nodes for Phase One
– London, Vancouver, Boulder, Singapore, Cape Town and Jerusalem.
“A new emergent ‘Turquoise’
worldview (see Spiral
Dynamics Integral), the perspective on which CHE is conceptualized,
could be summed up as including:
- A WholeView perspective,
with the world perceived as a delicately balanced system of
forces in jeopardy at humanity’s hands
- Self is part of a larger,
conscious whole
- Emergent selfless motivation,
in order that all can thrive
- Experiential ‘collective
individualism’, blending and harmonizing
- Expanded mind capacity,
deep intuition, consciousness
- Synergize, macromanage,
and act together for significant, big picture impacts for the
good of all
- Planetary concerns rank
above narrow group interests
- An ordered world with new
meanings – the synergy of all life forms and forces
- Organized as a holistic,
unified organism
- Synthesis oriented”
