Where did we come from?
Why are we here?
How should we live together?
How can the Earth Community flourish?
— Brian Swimme, Mary Evelyn Tucker

The Community of the Cosmic Person identifies three dimensions of living these questions: deepening our awareness of and responsiveness to the cosmological imperatives that govern all life on Earth; developing the particular mode of conscious awareness that occurs in the human species; and celebrating the human capacity for spirituality

cosmological imperatives

All life on Earth is governed by three cosmological imperatives: differentiation, subjectivity, and communion. Even human beings...

conscious awareness

Human beings have a particular capacity for consciousness: we experience transcendence, self-awareness, and sensitivity. These experiences make us alive to our role in the universe.

spiritual wellbeing

To be Cosmic is to learn to be mutually beneficial to the planet. What is most beneficial to human beings? Spiritual wellbeing: self-actualisation, connectedness, and consonance.
