Transhumanism and Synthetic Spirituality - The Godmother???

In a provocative article entitled "Transhumanism and Synthetic Spirituality: Meet The Godmother" Author John Klyczek dissects "the late Barbara Hubbard, a Rockefeller-funded New Age guru, who was critical to the development of the ideas, beliefs, and technology necessary to market transhumanism as spiritual enlightenment." The article was posted at Veteran's Today at https://www.veteranstoday.com/2022/10/03/transhumanism/?mc_cid=511d39e27b&mc_eid=671339a5ee and provoked a lively discussion with those who knew Barbara and those who didn't, as well as those familiar with many of the people, ideas, institutions that the article mentioned.Show more

Two of our guests, filmmakers, Mary Beth Brangan and Jim Heddle, actually met through Barbara and knew her quite well, although they went their separate ways. Mary Beth and Jim's work can be found at Ecological Options Network https://www.eon3.org/news.

Barbara had a passion for Conscious Evolution and was quite visionary, but she might have been used to push an agenda that she was not aware of or fully embraced. We discuss the complexities of communicating the reality of conscious evolution while affirming the dire need for political-economic restructuring that addresses wealth inequality and consequent numerous social problems.
