The emerging perspective of integral consciousness is able to see something new and say something more about the scientific story of our origins. Integral philosophy’s interpretation of recently emerging scientific evidence reveals how our universe is a purposeful phenomenon whose development is progressing in the direction of positive creativity. This new appreciation of the overall purpose of the universe can help us meet the challenges of our time by solving the “meaning crisis,” and by inspiring us with an inclusive new vision of our collective higher purpose. This transcendent purpose, simply stated, is working for the further evolution of the noosphere. By revealing an enlarged understanding of the nature and behavior of transcendence itself, integral philosophy can help us save our civilization.
