Abstract
My interest in this project is strongly influenced by a concern about how attitudes and behaviors,
shaped by the obsessions of our western culture with economic growth and progress, have
spawned lifestyles and practices that are eroding the human spirit, degrading the health and wellbeing of Earth, and threatening the quality of life for present and future generations of all life
forms on this planet. This project explores the significance and practical implications of the New
Story of the Universe, as the source and summons for social, political, and economic change.
