Dear Friends,

Recent advances in science are posing new questions for spirituality:

- Are we in the midst of a major paradigm shift in science?

- Is there an ultimate reality?

- Does consciousness conceive, govern, construct and become the physical universe?

- Is the universe becoming self aware in the human nervous system?

- Is the next stage of human development conscious evolution?

- Do we have the ability to influence the future evolution of the cosmos?

- How does our understanding of consciousness as pure potentiality enhance our capacity for intuition, creativity, conscious choice making, healing, and the awakening of dormant potentials such as non-local communication and non-local sensory experience?

- How does our understanding of consciousness also enhance our capacity for total well being (physical, emotional, spiritual, social, community, financial and ecological)?

If you find the above questions intriguing, I would love for you to join me and my colleagues (who I consider Sages and Scientists) at the second annual Chopra Foundation International Symposium: Sages and Scientists – The Merging of a New Future from February 25-27, 2011 at La Costa Resort and Spa (Carlsbad, California).
