The Upshift: Humanity’s Sacred Mission with Prof. Ervin Laszlo
Humankind has reached the critical bifurcation and is on the threshold of a new phase, This phase is already launching and is bringing the upshift to the next stage of humanity’s evolution. It is our task to recognize and empower the new phase transforming its potential into the new reality.
What is the evidence for this optimistic assessment and how can we act on it? These questions are the challenge contemporary humanity confronts. Facing it is the sacred quest for all conscious and responsible members of the human family.
Prof Ervin Laszlo spent his childhood in Budapest, Hungary. He was a celebrated child prodigy on the piano, with public appearances from the age of nine. Receiving a Grand Prize at the inter- national music competition in Geneva, he was allowed to leave Hungary and begin an international concert career, first in Europe and then in America. Laszlo received the Sorbonne’s highest degree, the Doctorat ès Lettres et Sciences Humaines in 1970. Shifting to the life of a scientist and humanist, he lectured at various U.S. Universities including Yale and Princeton. Following his work on modeling the future evolution of world order at Princeton, he was asked to produce a report for the Club of Rome, of which he was a member. In the late 70s and early 80s, Laszlo ran global projects at the United Nations Institute for Training and Research at the request of the Secretary-General. In the 1990s his research led him to the discovery of the Akashic Field.
