Dear Friends, This is amazing (and wonderful) for me to see Obama consulting with this group of people (see below). It looks like this petition was begun in Oct 2008 and has about 39,000 signatures to date. Please visit the site and add yours.

> The Obama Administration has asked the "Evolutionary Leaders" to

> be conveyed to the Obama Administration.
>
> The Evolutionary Leaders like Deepak Chopra, Gregg Braden, Michael
> Beckwith and many, many others, gathered together to write up the

> BY THE EVOLUTIONARY LEADERS
> The human family is in the midst of the most significant
> transformation of consciousness since its emergence in Africa over one
> hundred thousand years ago. Consciousness has been evolving for
> billions of years from the first cell to us. We are becoming aware
> that through our own consciousness the universe can know itself. This
> awareness reveals incredible new potential for our individual and
> collective humanity.
>
> Simultaneously, we are the first species on this Earth aware that we
> can destroy ourselves by our own action. This may be the greatest
> wake-up call to the evolution of consciousness since the origin of
> Homo Sapiens. We now realize that we are affecting our own evolution
> by everything we do. This knowledge awakens in us the aspiration to
> become more conscious through subjective practices including
> meditation, reflection, prayer, intuition, creativity, and conscious
> choice-making that accelerate our evolution in the direction of unity
> consciousness and inspire us to deeply align our collective vision.
>
> THE CHALLENGE
> At this juncture in human history, urgent global crises challenge us
> to learn to live sustainably, in harmony and gratitude with one
> another and with the living universe. The changes required of humanity
> are broad, deep, and far-reaching. Only by acting swiftly and
> creatively can we birth a planetary culture that will bring well-being
> to every form of life in the Earth community. The good news is that a
> compelling new story of our potential as a whole human species is
> emerging - a story of collaboration, citizen action, dialogue, and new
> understandings propelled by unprecedented levels of democratic
> freedom, multi-cultural exchange, and access to communication
> technologies. It is nothing less than the story of our collective
> evolution.
>
> OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACTION
> We recognize that the inner and outer aspects of life evolve together.
> A dramatic awakening in consciousness will involve an equally dramatic
> shift in outward aspects of our lives. In particular, we see the
> following as vital opportunities for our conscious evolution, both
> personally and collectively:
>
> Cultivating a Paradigm of Aliveness: We regard the universe as deeply
> alive and conscious by nature. In a living universe, our sense of
> subtle connection and participation with life around us is the basis
> for a compassionate and cooperative approach to living.
>
> Educating for an Evolving Consciousness: Awakening consciousness is
> the foundation for all the change we seek to see in the world. We can
> work to elevate our capacity for conscious reflection and creative
> action in our personal lives as well as our collective lives as
> communities. We must support research and educational strategies that
> optimize human capacities and explore the nature of consciousness.
>
> Restoring Ecological Balance:The balance of planetary ecosystems is
> fundamental to our survival. We must reverse the pollution of our
> global commons - the water, air, and soil that nourish all life. We
> must encourage the proliferation of clean, renewable energy sources
> and expend all necessary resources toward mitigating the effects of
> climate change.
>
> Encouraging Conscious Media: We must find innovative ways to use the
> new electronic media as the mirror of our positive evolutionary story,
> investing in their capacity to reach across differences of generation,
> culture, religion, wealth, and gender to build a working consensus
> about our collective future.
>
> Engaging in Social and Political Transformation: More sustainable ways
> of living will require the support of a more conscious democracy and
> vibrant civil society from which more enlightened leaders will emerge.
> All individuals should be encouraged to use their gifts to create
> participatory, responsible, and compassionate models of governance.
>
> Working for Integrity in Commerce: Conscious businesses that are aware
> of the scope, depth, and long-range impacts of their actions are key
> to achieving sustainability. Business must become an ethical steward
> of the Earth's ecology and consciously establish an economic basis for
> a future of equitably shared abundance.
>
> Promoting Health and Healing: The science of mind-body-spirit health
> has demonstrated the profound connection between the health of a
> wholeperson and the health of the system in which he or she lives.
> Whole-systems healing, respecting both traditional knowledge and
> modern sciences, must be supported in physical, social, and spiritual
> domains.
>
> Building Global Community: The new story is about all of us who share
> this planet. Together, we can create a culture of peace that
> eliminates the need for armed conflict, respecting and appreciating
> the glorious diversity of our human family.
>
> YOUR PARTICIPATION IS VITAL
> Our group has done its best to articulate possibilities for the
> evolution of consciousness at this crucial moment in time. Please
> reflect on this document, feel what resonates in your being and calls
> forth a response on your part. We invite you to discuss it with
> others, continuing this global conversation by adding to it the wisdom
> that is uniquely your own. Together, let us co-create a new narrative
> of conscious evolution that is a call to individual and collective
> action, birthing the most significant transformation of consciousness
> in history. Join in the Call to Conscious Evolution by signing the
> pledge now.
