TABLE OF CONTENTS

Intelligent Evolution
by Gary E. Schwartz
Is the belief in God something only to be accepted on faith? In his new book, Schwartz suggests that some kind of grand organizing principle is revealing itself in physics, statistics, computer science, and even parapsychology.

Sacred Geometry
by Robert J. Gilbert
There are archetypal patterns behind every material thing in the universe. A new holistic science that understands those patterns will help us resolve some of our most pressing environmental and social problems.

Exploring a Sentient World
by Franci Prowse with Cleve Backster
When The Secret Life of Plants was first published in 1973, readers were astounded to read that a flower had consciousness and reacted to its surroundings. Plants were only the beginning.

Seeing Where We Are
by Laura Sewall
In this lyrical paean to vision and perception, Sewall invites readers to open their eyes to the sensuous richness of the world around them.

Faith, Science, and Life: Toward a Coherent Cosmology
by Kevin R. Lind
The story we tell ourselves about the origins of the universe determines to a great extent the purpose and meaning of our lives.

Our Ethnosphere at Risk
by Wade Davis
The renowned National Geographic Society explorer warns us that in losing the diversity of the world's cultures and languages, we limit our global evolutionary potential.

Seven Reasons Why I Remain an Optimist
by Elisabet Sahtouris

Anne Adams “takes a stand” through her IONS bequest
Anne Adams has used estate planning to “take a stand.”

“I wanted to express my belief in the connection between spirit and science,” she said. “I wanted to do it definitively.”

June Question for Reflection
What can you reintegrate from your "old paradigm" life in a fuller way? What might bring you joy and aliveness that might not be considered particularly conscious? Collectively, what can we do to honor tradition more adequately even as we work for change?

IONS monthly intentions for a global shift in consciousness

• Picture the world as it is today, knowing that I am a part of this planet's evolutionary design. I choose to live to my fullest capacity in a spirit of openness, intellectual integrity, and freedom.
  
• I am conscious that I have a role in the unfolding story of humanity. I am connected to the whole. My intentions find a deep resonance in the hearts and minds of others.
  
• Together, we stir the depths of human ingenuity, creativity, and collective healing. Together, we are part of an evolutionary pulse bringing into focus our collective responsibility for planet Earth and its diverse peoples.
  
• My intention is to be in a place of wisdom, compassion, and abiding exuberance for serving our common work and the greater good.

Each month we honor one of our members by including their intention:
This month's intention comes to us from Douglas Bonar: "I intend to live more authentically, centered in my Wisdom, emanating from my Divine Essense (which is the real Me), and thus transforming all around me through entrainment to my loving energies. I intend to continue on this path of personal and planetary transformation. Deeper and deeper. And so it is."

If you'd like to offer an intention for next month, please send to stephendinan@noetic.org
