Brian and Thomas Berry aren't claiming that we are at the pinnacle but that we're at a crossroads. They are working to re-interpret our creation story using the latest findings in Science and Cosmology. Integrating the best wisdom from all the spiritual traditions, including Indigenous wisdom from around the world and considering Science as a modern wisdom tradition and a method of probing and understanding the nature of physical reality and causality. They are steering us towards a new vision, a "New Story" that includes a new understanding of where we've been, where we are at now and where we might be going. Our place in Space and in Time and at this historic transition moment in Geological Time. I, for one, am inspired by the work of Brian Swimme and his frequent collaborator, Thomas Berry, a Passionist Priest and renowned scholar of both Western and Eastern spiritual traditions and who has now passed on but who left a legacy of amazing books and writings.

I have been studying science (physics, cosmology, life sciences, geology) voraciously for over 50 years. Essentially, I've arrived at the same conclusions Dr.Swimme presents here. I'm a believer in the Gaia hypothesis as a genesis story whereby earth is a de facto living organism~one that man inhabits but the earth in turn inhabits him through an elegant connectivity & using patterned iterations. (I utilize Mandelbrot equations & fractal geometry in my thesis of an earth exploding with life)

Swimme and Thomas Berry go hand-in-hand along with Drew Dellinger..... They are all inspiring! I was introduced to all of them at an 'Awakening the Dreamer' Symposium. It was a beautiful event with many people who are taking actions to move our world forward in a more sustainable ways.

Oh Brian, I was ASTRO Traveling the other evening and cane to a wall. It was rather brownish, but lighter in color than the area surrounding this wall. I simply willed myself through the wall. Into the Black world I went. I looked down to where my body should be, but that was gone. What I saw was my soul. Like white lightening, but contained. There was a wind of sorts that blew there. My soul rippled in that wind. Like a flag in a breeze. I willed myself out of the black world, then back in. I did this many times. Then when I was in that world, I willed that I separate from my soul. And in an instant I was watching my soul blowing in that wind from afar...then....I...Scott Terrien Bellarmine ' 69 '. P.S. one story of many!

That we need stories to realize our full humanity goes without saying. But whether or not that need for narrative must express itself through a single monomyth or metanarrative to which the entire culture pays obeisance is an assumption that was successfully challenged by post-modernism. Now, the mark (and the trick) of the MetaModern moment urges socially-embedded persons to negotiate an array of stories - some religious, some scientific, some mythical, some magical, some integral, and some transcendent. Thus, we can still consciously and deliberately adhere to the ramifications of a variety of stories while still allowing ourselves the freedom from being bound to these stories, all of which we have made a conscious choice to entertain, rather than to be blindly and unconsciously dedicated to as one infallible MonoStory from birth (as was the expectation in former times).

Maybe I’m not understanding what he is saying, so correct me if I’m wrong but does he imagine that stories are created out of our understanding of reality, rather than the other way round, our understanding of reality is constructed from the stories we tell? As in, science rests on a whole lot of assumptions too, the questions asked by science proceed from an existing viewpoint and narrative themselves. What am I missing here, friends?

Err.. thats a great way to look at it... however you can drop the word "God" since you are saying it is just a conceptual idea that helps to envelop all that is rather than some mystical being. Also, I applaude that outlook. Its time for reality.

Mythos evolves out of the organic compost of the unconscious, it can’t possibly be created top-down by the human mind, can it?

Brian - I'm sad for you - you are so deluded. What is needed is for humans to live in harmony with their natural design, and in harmony with Earth and the rest of life on it. Science and knowledge are simply tools. What defines us is our 2.3 million years of continuous history. Science and technology can and are being misused by the powerful and greedy to whom we've given control of our lives, along with our freedom and our passion. If modern knowledge and science hold the answers as you mistakenly suggest, then look around and honestly answer this question: How well is it working?

"What is needed is for humans to live in harmony with their natural design, and in harmony with Earth and the rest of life on it." Yes, that's his point. The main theme of this guy's work is that we need to live with a better understanding of our place in nature and the universe, precisely *because* what we're doing now as a civilization is not working well. So much of humanity's meaning is still rooted in old myths and that powerful governments make policies that ignore science, or misuse it as you suggest.

Well dude, The system is truly a lie, money made the whole globe slaves, and we live in a lie , but God , well, it is a matter of how you see it, i see God as all the universew, everything, good and evil, right and wrong, He is the equilibrium of everything. You do not need myths to make your belief, you just have to look around, see the trees, the nature, breathe the air, and you will feel God. :) Peace out.
