Surviving 2012 -- And Beyond with Ervin Laszlo, Ph.D.

MP3 Download

There’s no shortage of reports on the deepening ecological crisis, and many of those are linked to forecasts of global cataclysm at the end of 2012. Professor Ervin Laszlo’s projections are as grim as any—he says our planet can’t sustain current populations for more than ten or twenty years unless we make some radical changes. But he also believes that a simple shift in values and beliefs will enable us to implement the necessary changes and lay the groundwork for a new culture, a new civilization—a new world. The technologies we need are available to us now, but applying them will require us to step up to a higher level of consciousness. Dr. Laszlo explains, “The old way of handling ourselves and the planet are producing more heat than light, and this epoch is coming to an end. This is an emergency that gives the opportunity for an emergence of something new. So the objective is to have enough foresight so that we can start changing in a way in which all human beings, in the embrace of nature together with all the other species, can survive and can develop and further evolve.” (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)
