Andrew Gaines
A decade ago Andrew studied The Natural Step, a method of assessing whether a company, a nation or our global civilisation is ecologically sustainable or not. At the same time he explored the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). He concluded that given the reality of accelerating ecological deterioration, ideally CSR should mean corporations taking responsibility for the evolution of a viable society. This was not what he found.
Andrew also noted that many environmental groups focus on their own patch. Their work is valuable, but our greatest need is that as a society we commit to becoming ecologically viable as our major priority.
As a big picture systems thinker and philosopher* Andrew is aware that the most influential point of change in any human system is our thinking - with thinking broadly conceived of as our understanding of the world, our ways of going about things, our personal psychology and our core values.
Retired Professor of physics from the University of Oregon’s Institute of Theoretical Science, Dr. Goswami is a revolutionary in a growing body of renegade scientists who in recent years have ventured into the domain of the spiritual in an attempt both to interpret the seemingly inexplicable findings of their experiments... and to validate their intuitions about the existence of a spiritual dimension of life.
Dr. Laszlo is generally recognized as the founder of systems philosophy and general evolution theory. His work in recent years has centered on the formulation and development of the "Akasha Paradigm," the new conception of cosmos, life and consciousness emerging at the forefront of the contemporary sciences.
