If the problems facing the global community today are complex, massive in scale, and profoundly urgent, then the extraordinary capacities of Ervin Laszlo to address the contemporary condition is a testament that remarkable times produce equally remarkable individuals. A 2004 Nobel Peace Prize nominee, Laszlo is most widely recognized as the founding father of systems philosophy and a scientific framework to explain how human societies and civilizations change and evolve. He is the author of sixty-nine books translated into nineteen languages. Renowned for his ability to make complex scientific theories clear and accessible to a general public audience, this is a rare opportunity to hear Dr. Laszlo articulate his profound “integral theory of everything” found in his newest book, Science and the Akashic Field. His talk and book signing, Tuesday, April 5, 7:30pm, at 38 Cameron in Cambridge, is sponsored by the Voices from the Edge speakers series.
Quantum physics has long sought after a “Theory of Everything” (TOE), or a single mathematical equation that could account for all the laws in the universe. In Science and the Akashic Field, Laszlo proposes that a genuine TOE is achievable. Western scientists are beginning to discover what has been documented by Eastern sages and mystics for thousands of years; that within nature exists an interconnecting field that interweaves every atom, cell, organism, and mind, throughout time – “The Akashic Record.” This field acts as “the memory of the universe” and “continuously interacts with matter at every level from subatomic to cosmic to influence the way every living thing grows, adapts, and evolves.”
“Science and the Akashic Field is the product of four decades of searching for meaning through science,” says Laszlo about the impetus behind the book. “My enduring interest has been to find an answer to questions such as “What is the nature of the world?” and “What is the meaning of my life in the world? I wanted the most reliable kind of answers there are, and reflected that I could find no better source for them than science.” Laszlo’s committed search for truth through science has garnered the admiration of people around the world who are seeking to find meaning and make sense of life.
“Ervin Laszlo has, probably more than any person alive, intricately spelled out a staggering but often neglected fact: we live in a hopelessly interconnected universe, with each and every single thing connected in almost miraculous ways to each and every other,” says Ken Wilber, the world’s leading integral philosopher.
In 1995, Laszlo founded the prestigious Club of Budapest, gathering together leading minds in art, science, religion, and culture in order to create a high profile coalition to advocate for global sustainability. The Club features members such as the Dalai Lama, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, musician Peter Gabriel, and Bianca Jagger. Its philosophy is based on “the realization that the enormous challenges that humanity is currently facing can only be overcome through the development of a global cultural consciousness.”
LaszloÂ’s concern for the future of humanity is why he was asked to participate in the Voices from the Edge speakers series. Voices from the Edge is an international forum presenting the thought leaders and visionaries at the leading edge in their respective fields seeking new and creative solutions to our current global situations.
Dr. Ervin Laszlo breadth of accomplishments is extraordinary: he is the holder of the highest degree in philosophy and human sciences from the Sorbonne (the State Doctorate), is recipient of four honorary Ph. D.s, awarded the 2001 Goi Award (the Japan Peace Prize), and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize as well as the Templeton Prize, to name just a few.
“The most brilliant, comprehensive, and intellectually satisfying integral theory of everything that I have ever read.”
Deepak Chopra, M. D. (On Science and the Akashic Field)
