Under construction. Last updated 9.28.26. We are still in the process of changing the the term Evolution Spirituality to Universe Spirituality across this website.

Prologue

While we are still building this new website, some links below will take you back to our old Universe Spirit website until we complete the transfers. If our old site gives you a random error message we are still trying to fix and you can't see our old website, click your refresh button, and the old website will appear. To return to our new website from the old one, click your Back button or click on the New Website at the top of the old home page.

First-time visitors:

Step 1. If you have not done so already, please click this Join/Subscribe link or the one at the top of the page, and we will keep you informed of Universe Spirit events and important updates.

Step 2. Start your exploration of the usefulness of this website by doing our seven-day experiment with the Universe Principles.

We strongly recommend going to intermediate or advanced materials once you have a good grasp of our basic beginner materials! The intermediate and advanced materials are intended solely for dedicated students and members with a solid understanding of basic beginning-level materials.

Sometimes, the section titles below indicate the difficulty of all the materials in that section. Sometimes, additional codes at the end of the links list the difficulty of those materials.

The material difficulty codes are as follows: 

1.) beginner (B) 

2.) Intermediate (I,)

3.) advanced (A) and

4. teacher/co-founder (TC) 

Other Content Ratings:

In some areas, we have added the following content codes. [R2.0] is for mostly all-new Universe Spirituality materials, [R1.5] is for mostly older Spirituality version 1.5 materials, and [R1.0] is for mostly the oldest Spirituality version 1.0 materials. If there is no content rating, assume it is primarily the new Universe Spirit material.

The various sections below can also be used as check sheets for study groups. 

Beginning Level Universe Spirituality Materials 

(This beginning FAQ section can be used as an individual study check sheet or even as basic Evolution Spirituality training materials. At the end of this section is an action list for what you can do to get started practicing Evolution Spirituality at the beginner level.)

How do I Get Started with the Beginner Level Practices of Universe Spirituality? 

The nine Evolution Spirituality getting-started steps below are listed in the optimal order to complete them. When you have finished them, we hope you will want to become a member of Universe Spirit.

1. If you have not done so already, click here for the Evolution Spirituality Beginners Introduction and Quick Overview Booklet. (B)

2. Try one of the short, easy one-minute or other relationship meditations of Evolution Spirituality. (I)

3. Read and try to live Evolution Spirituality's core spiritual practice found within the short-form Right Actions and the Right Attitudes for healthy, effective, and sustainable living derived from the Universe Principles. By the end of about 30 days, you will notice both significant and subtle changes in your world, as well as important changes in your awareness, attitude, and actions. (This will help you quickly decide if there are tangible and important benefits in Evolution Spirituality for your life as it is today!)

If you do experience important benefits from step three above, then click here and see if you are ready to make an important commitment to advancing your fullest possible evolution.

4. Review the key reasons why the Universe Principles are a uniquely effective approach to sustainable and successful living.  (B) 

5. Learn how you can know whether your new Evolution Spirituality practices are effective in these values and virtues. (B)

6. For 10 days, be aware of and practice the four basic facts, actions, and attitudes of Evolution Spirituality. (Be sure to do the action step in the fourth fact section.) (B)

7. Go to the Job One for Humanity multi-step plan and pick the single easiest plan step for you to begin. Start soon, and after you complete that easy first step, move on to the next easiest step, etc.  There are important easy starting steps in the Job One for Humanity plan that you can do to make a real difference! (If you have not yet signed the global warming emergency petition to our leaders, please do so here.)

8. Review why an Evolution-Grounded Genesis Story is Important to Every Spiritual Individual. (B)

9. Read the book EarthDance: Living Systems in Evolution by Elisabet Sahtouris. This book is a life-changer and great for a basic scientific understanding of the "big picture" basics of how the whole universe has evolved over the last 13.7 billion years. It is an amazing read that shows us, over and over again, that evolution is not "survival of the fittest," but the survival of the most wisely cooperative. This book also contains the core of the new Genesis story used within Evolution 2.0, and its Universe Evolutionary Worldview to help us inform (or realign) our sense of individual and collective origin, identity, and purpose as Evolutioneers. (B)

Congratulations! You are now a practitioner of the key basics of Evolution Spirituality. When you are ready, please review the FAQ sections and links in the rest of the beginner sections. Start with the ones that look most interesting to you about the other qualities and attributes of Evolution Spirituality.
