We are an active group of Evolutionaries in the Chicago area who come together on a regular basis for discussion salons and other special events. We are a dynamic part of a global movement embracing Evolutionary Enlightenment as a contemporary and visionary teaching which directly addresses our postmodern cultural context. We strive to be leaders, examples, and pathfinders in the emerging field of integral and evolutionary spirituality, and to stand for the ultimate relevance of spiritual enlightenment in our time. Through the integrated annual cycle of programs and events and award-winning publications EnlightenNext offers globally, we are awakening, connecting, and cultivating a world-wide movement of “evolutionaries”—individuals who feel personally responsible for creating the future.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
The Nature of the Soul
Awakening to the infinite sooner or later brings us face to face with our own soul. And the soul has many dimensions. In my understanding, it is different from that infinite, timeless, formless Self that we awaken to in profound spiritual revelation. I describe it as the deepest part of the self that’s still personal. It is a metaphysical self-structure that is the receptacle of life’s deepest wounds and greatest glories. It is that part of ourselves that carries the momentum of our past, which we experience in the present as inclinations or tendencies, both positive and negative. That’s why some people seem to be born with fears and traumas that defy explanation. Or why others enter into this world with gifts and capacities that they have not been taught. Most importantly, it is the state of our soul that endows us with capacities for good or evil—capacities that come from a deeper source than those that are merely psychological in origin.
