Synopsis

Carter Phipps brilliantly expands our understanding of evolution by showing us that a new science is emerging-one that will holistically integrate our understanding of consciousness, cosmology, and evolution.
-Deepak Chopra

Blending cutting-edge ideas with incisive spiritual insights, Evolutionaries is the first popular presentation of an emerging school of thought called evolutionary spirituality. Carter Phipps, the former executive editor of EnlightenNext magazine, asserts that evolution is not only a scientific but also a spiritual idea in a book whose message has the power to bring new meaning and purpose to life as we know it. Readers will be fascinated and enlightened by Evolutionaries, a book which Deepak Chopra, the world-renowned author of The Seven Spiritual Laws of Superheroes, Jesus, and Buddha, says is going to help create a worldview that will influence our vision of the future direction of evolution and also our role in consciously participating in it.
