Editorial Reviews

Our story is seen through evolutionary eyes as the unfoldment of a fourteen billion year journey of transformation, now pressing us forward to give birth within ourselves to a universal human and a universal humanity capable of coevolving with nature and cocreating with spirit. Our storyteller, Barbara Marx Hubbard, provides the unique perspective of viewing our history through what she terms as "evolutionary eyes" as the unfoldment of a fourteen billion year journey of transformation that is now pressing us forward to give birth to a new, never before seen, universal humanity. This compelling vision of hope sees us at an evolutionary edge where the old world is dying and the new world is being born. Share this powerful message of hope with family and friends!

5.0 out of 5 stars Common Sense and Clear Vision at its Very Best, June 4, 2009

This review is from: Humanity Ascending Series DVD Part 1: OUR STORY featuring Barbara Marx Hubbard (DVD)

I met Barbara Marx Hubbard recently, and after reading and reviewing her book Conscious Evolution: Awakening Our Social Potential bouight everything else she has done and am working my way through it.

This DVD is truly great in multiple ways, including the imagery provided as the changing backdrop for the speaker, her own presentation, and the selection of very short clips interspersed throughout. This is not a very long DVD, but it is priceless and *very* easy to watch. Certainly something to share with friends before or after a dinner.

Three key points that stayed with me:

1) Women are coming into the own again. The top down patriarchal control model is not working. The matriarchal nurturing and circle mode is needed. Many do not know that in the beginning of human society we mere matriarchal because birth was a miracle and the blood connection from mother to child was indisputable.

2) The psycho-social development of individuals is vastly outpacing the much slower "organizational" societal evolution, and this gives rise to both conflict and alternative solutions that are still on the fringes.

3) Our values and minds have not evolved fast enough to control and contain the weapons and other capabilities we have been building, and this is a major threat. Today, some years after this was made, we face super-empowered individual with off-the-shelf access to nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction including explosives and poisons that can be manufactured at home.

The speaker was the "alternative" vice presidential candidate to Geraldine Ferraro at the Democratic Convention in 1984, and that in itself is a remarkable contrast: Ferraro was the "man's woman" seeking to compete on male terms; Hubbard was the woman's woman, seeking to compete on alternative terms.

All fascinating. I hope millions more hear her message, there is not a single negative note, all positive, all common sense, all vital.

Other books that I recommend:
Human Scale
Communitas: Means of Livelihood and Ways of Life
The Cultural Creatives: How 50 Million People Are Changing the World
Imagine: What America Could be in the 21st century
The Tao of Democracy: Using Co-Intelligence to Create a World That Works for All
Society's Breakthrough!: Releasing Essential Wisdom and Virtue in All the People
All Rise: Somebodies, Nobodies, and the Politics of Dignity (BK Currents (Hardcover))

5.0 out of 5 stars Humanity Ascending Series DVD Part 1: Our Story, May 7, 2009

This review is from: Humanity Ascending Series DVD Part 1: OUR STORY featuring Barbara Marx Hubbard (DVD)

Barbara Marx Hubbard does a beautiful job of conveying the message that humanity must "Evolve or die." Albeit this is a somewhat low-budget production, mankind's story is clearly conveyed with visuals that are memorable as well as beautifully appropriate for increased viewer understanding.

Most importantly, we need to wake up at the global level and pull together to end senseless war and the waste of the Earth's resources. Even if you do not consider this DVD a "must watch," humanity's future depends on people realizing that this message is a "must understand." Our future depends on it.
