Whether it is Teihard de Chardin's "omega point," Barbara Marx Hubbard's "conscious evolution," Ken Wilber's "integral theory," Ziauddin Sardar's "Islamic science" or Pope Francis' exhortation to simplicity, the religious imagination continues to reframe our quest toward transformation and tomorrow. This panel will share how the spiritual quest for "terra nova" is expressed in their own futures work ranging from transmedia in Hollywood entertainment, to a "Voxtropolis" mashup in Motown with rap and social entrepreneurs, to a journal that ponders how the spirituality of science fiction is creating a post-terrestrial age.

“The future doesn’t need us,” Bill Joy said in his famous 2001 WIRED article. He warned us of the threats posed by advanced technologies, and suggested we should slow down their advancement. Many today agree with Joy. The evolution of our knowledge about nature and the evolution of nature itself have come to a historic crossroads, others claim. It took billions of years for nature to produce our universe, a planet called Earth and a living species able to ask questions and create answers. It took humans just decades to develop a technology to bring our collective knowledge back to life deep within the brains of super computers and show it on the screens of Ipads and smart phones. With digital technology, an astonishing transformation is taking place right in front of our eyes. Since the Big Bang, nature has been the sole creator of the future. Until humans came along and unraveled nature’s tricks, enough so to take away its monopoly, and bring us to the most important crossroads in the history of our universe.

How has your futurist work intersected with your career? What are the present state and future prospects of building a career in foresight? What competencies will tomorrow’s futurists demonstrate, whether as trend analysts, project managers, facilitators, or consultants?
Presented by David Pearce Snyder
Most futurists today believe that the middle class job loss and widening income gap arising from our current techno-economic restructuring will ultimately be followed by a “rising tide” of prosperity based on new products, services and jobs. For those without a hopeful long term vision, however, our degraded economic performance has provoked political mobilization promoting simplistic solutions for our many complex problems. Futurists can/should actively inject an understanding of our complex circumstances into the public dialogue.
Presented by John Vanston and Carrie Vanston
The world is constantly changing and you must keep moving forward to remain relevant and profit in your area or areas of interest. During this inspiring program, world-renowned Futurist David Pearce Snyder describes this changing world and the forces driving it. He helps you see the future through a matrix of many emerging trends – minitrends – that reflect the macro-changes that you must anticipate to be successful as the future unfolds. Futurist Dr. John Vanston and Carrie Vanston, authors of the award-winning book MINITRENDS, will provide seven ways for you to find, analyze, and profit from important minitrends. The MiniTrends Mindset offers huge opportunities to those alert enough to identify them, perceptive enough to realize their importance, and adept enough to take advantage of them.

This document summarizes the key findings from a 2014 Pew Research Center survey of experts about the future of the internet in 2025. The survey covered topics like how the internet will impact daily life, the growth of the "Internet of Things", and potential threats to online content sharing. Some of the main findings include:
1) The internet will be deeply embedded in all aspects of daily life and society by 2025 through technologies like smart devices, augmented reality, and massive data collection.
2) The "Internet of Things" involving billions of connected devices is expected to grow and provide benefits through enhanced convenience and information, but also pose privacy challenges.
3) Significant hindrances to online content sharing are possible
Presented by Nicole Baker
When we think about the future, we often resort to visions of technology. However, as social beings, language, collaboration, networking, and connection are key to our development.

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...franktsao4
It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

5. Terra Nova 2:00-3:15 pm
Whether it is Teihard de Chardin's 'omega point,' Barbara Marx
Hubbard's 'conscious evolution,' Ken Wilber's 'integral theory,'
Ziauddin Sardar's 'Islamic science' or Pope Francis' exhortation to
simplicity, the religious imagination continues to reframe our quest
toward transformation. This panel will share how the spiritual quest
for "terra nova" is expressed in their own futures work through…
* Mashups in Motown with rap and social entrepreneurs
* Immersive storytelling in Hollywood that merges media platforms
* Creation of new paradigms for a post-terrestrial world.
6. It is the Year 2149
IT IS THE YEAR 2149.
Overpopulation and pollution have
overtaken our world. In search of a
better tomorrow, scientists stumble
upon a temporal rift, allowing for
waves of human pilgrimages back in
time to reshape the world anew, 85
million years ago on Earth.
8. Terra Nova means New Land
• The dream to recreate our world
and reframe our quest toward
tomorrow, however, has been alive
for millennia across our globe.
• We are only now beginning to
uncover its spiritual roots in the
human past.
10. It predated the Agriculture Age, the Wheel, and Domestication of animals
Gobekli Tepe
11. Was Gobekli Tepe our
1st Futures Observatory?
• Created by nomadic Hunter-Gatherers, and continued
for 25 generations.
• We may never know all what happened, but we can
say at Gobekli Tepe our ancestors so stretched their
horizons so to transform all their tomorrows.
• They went onto create the Neolithic Revolution to bring
about permanent human settlements across the Fertile
Crescent.
14. As we engage the 21st century…
• is the religious imagination for Terra Nova still
strong enough to inspire us to create new worlds?
• Or has religion itself become so codified in
declining empires and economies that it has lost
its creative quest for Terra Nova and beyond?

61. An experience that substantially alters a person’s
“possibility space” or life path
● Discovering new facts, cultures, connections
● Epiphany, realization, revelation
● Spiritual, numinous, or “unity” experience
● Awakening to empathy, compassion, love
● Often triggered by new friends, social circles
● Trauma, loss, fear, etc. can also be transformative
transformed world view = transformed world
Transformative Media
62. ● Art can be seen as the evocation or transmission of unique
neural states
● The performing artist’s instrument is the audience’s
nervous systems
● The conscious artist must therefore be mindful of the
audience’s experience
● The artist cannot easily evoke a state of consciousness
that they themselves cannot maintain
● Therefore the artist’s prime directive is to:
a. Attain unique/useful/entertaining moods or states of consciousness
b. Consciously evoke these neural states in their audience through
their craft
Conscious Creativity

Terra Nova as a spirituality of the future
can be defined as the concern of all who
feel drawn toward the fullness of humanity
and, in tum, allow their lives to be
transformed by their relationship with the
Absolute, however that may be defined.
