Awakening a Living Universe with Visionary Duane Elgin: Exclusive Interview
Written by Mallika Chopra
nAs an internationally recognized speaker, author and social visionary, Duane is no stranger to observing the bigger picture of humanity to aid its continuously evolving consciousness. In past works, he has continuously championed bringing a more sustainable, conscious, and community-oriented mindset for the betterment of all the citizens of this planet. His newest book "The Living Universe: Where Are We? Who Are We? Where Are We Going?" is based on nearly three decades of research from biology, cosmology and physics, in addition to spiritual texts from all the major world religions. It also describes to us a whole new paradigm shift that we may have never considered before: seeing the entire universe as a truly living entity, rather than empty space and inert matter.nn Listen to Duane speak about how this one shift in perspective may be what will save our planet from self-destruction, and how these current turbulent times are a perfect opportunity for humanity to transcend to the next level. Before you think this interview is too heady for you, Duane also offers all of us practical advice on how we can help elevate our human race to a better place: simply, slow down, calm down, and return to the moment.
I highly encourage all of you visit Duane's website and pick up a copy of "The Living Universe." Not only will you be deeply inspired, you will feel more connected and more present in this strange, living universe that we are all a part of.
