How
would your community react if it suddenly had to fend for itself? For
this month's Spore, more than 30 Evolver Regionals will discuss
innovative methods and memes that self-reliant societies are using to
face tomorrow's challenges. Our network-wide "Resilience Revolution Spore" on May 19th
will explore how local communities can work together to provide clean
energy, healthy food, potable water, healthcare, and other services to
create thriving, abundant cultures outside of today's profit-ruled
corporate systems.
Evolver is spreading the Spores of new planetary possibilities, but due to current financial challenges, we need your immediate help to support this rapidly growing network. We invite you to become a member of the Evolver Social Movement for just a few bucks a month, and help create the world you want to see. We'll also have a lot of fun along the way.

It is only then that we can experience the Power of Wow. http://www.evolver.net/user/charley_wininger/blog/radical_amazement_and_power_wow * * * Healing through Diet, My Personal Adventure By brock Food is a touchy subject. I actually don't like talking about it much, because people frequently respond rather negatively. That said, I hope this post doesn't offend anyone, and please understand that these are my personal experiences and opinions. http://www.evolver.net/user/brrock/blog/healing_through_diet_my_personal_adventure * * * Response to Stephen Hawking By Bob You've probably seen these articles by now... Stephen Hawking, renowned British scientist says aliens could be more interested in exploiting our natural resources than sharing their technology with us... blah, blah, blah. http://www.evolver.net/user/bobfitz/blog/response_stephen_hawking * * * On Unconditional Love and Dark Beings By Susan Florries Today I woke up seeing that the Evolver Facebook-admin had asked the question - what is unconditional love? In answer to this, as well as in light of the recent discussions on Dark Beings here on Evolver, I wrote the following answer. http://www.evolver.net/user/florries/blog/unconditional_love_and_dark_beings * * * Sex Is the Reason Behind Everything, Don't You Get It? By medicine man It's been frustrating me to the point of screaming that no one has pointed this out yet. It's like the most gigantic elephant in the room, and I've been hoping someone would say something. Human history has developed because of sexuality. Wars are fought over sex. Religions are started and maintained because of sex. Greed, inequality, and economic trends happen because of sex. http://www.evolver.net/user/dancing_buddha/blog/sex_reason_behind_everything_dont_you_get_it * * * The Very, Very Lonely Path Of Knowledge And Self-Actualization By Lightfiend How does our pursuit of knowledge reflect our individualism, and why is this so important? What makes this path towards self-actualization so difficult and lonesome? http://www.evolver.net/blogs/most-commented?page=1 * * * My Convo With Somebody From The Venus Project By Boadie As you all know, there's been some debate here about The Venus Project and whether or not Evolver should join forces with them and/or Zeitgeist. I had a conversation on Facebook (yes, Facebook) with somebody involved in The Venus Project. I asked him a question that many people here have been concerned about. I thought he had some interesting answers and that we had a good conversation. http://www.evolver.net/user/boadie/blog/my_convo_supporter_venus_project ====== PROJECTS Virtual Museum of Religion Posted by Zach Perlman Monks Without Borders working to establish a Museum of World Religions, in America.
