Ervin Lazlo
and The Club of Budapest
The Global
Marshall Plan
Ervin
Laszlo is the founder of the Club of Budapest and attended Gorbachev's
State of the World Forum
in San Francisco in 1997. His former website
address,
http://www.club-of-budapest.com,
has been changed to
http://www.clubofbudapest.org.
The Club of Budapest:
"Its core objective - pursued together with its
world-renowned international members and engaged creative and national members
-- is to create and implement holistic solutions to problems that face the
entire human family in a participatory way that can be experienced and
acquired."
Global Marshall Plan:
"Ervin Laszlo gave an historical overview on the development of the systemic, holistic thinking inside the basic sciences, and stated:
"The dynamic of the technical revolutions made it urgently
necessary to adopt our kind of thinking, our ethics and our consciousness to the level of global responsibility. We have the feel, think and act responsible to the whole world, the whole eco-system and the whole humankind. That inevitable evolutionary leap will change most of the current paradigms. The paradigm of competition will be replaced by the paradigm of cooperation, e.g.
...
"There is now both a moral and a practical obligation for each of us to look beyond the surface of events, beyond the polemics of day-to-day politics, the sensationalistic headlines of the mass media, and the fads and fashions of changing lifestyles and styles of work... Beyond the powers of rational mind, the remarkable faculties of human spirit embrace the power of love, of compassion, and of solidarity....
"A new institution of the Club of Budapest, the "PLANET Life University", will start in 2004. It is a training institute for planetary consciousness, best practices and skills needed to transform the world.
"We are evolving out of the nationally based industrial societies that were created at the dawn of the first industrial revolution, and heading toward an interconnected, information-based social, economic and cultural system that straddles the globe."
Macroshift - Navigating the
Transformation to a Sustainable World:
"The Club of Budapest, founded in 1993 by Ervin Laszlo, is an informal
association of ethical globally as well as locally active opinion leaders in
various fields of art, science, religion, and culture, dedicated to our common
future. Its members include the Dalai Lama, Václav Havel,
Mikhail
Gorbachev, Desmond Tutu, Elie Wiesel.... They place their names and energy
into the service of what they consider the crucial mission of our time:
catalyzing the emergence of adapted vision and values in society by evolving
our individual and
collective consciousness." See
The Club of Budapest.

World Wisdom Council:
"The World Wisdom Council (WWC) has been convened by the Club of Budapest in cooperation with the
World Commission on Global Consciousness and Spirituality in the conviction that the paramount requirement in this
age of discontinuity and transformation is to recognize that, through the development of a
new dimension of consciousness, the world can be constructively changed...."
World Commission on Global Consciousness and Spirituality:
"The Commission is intended to fill a void at the highest level of global leadership, so it is carefully designed and composed to have maximal moral and spiritual force and credibility as we enter the 21st Century. In this spirit the Commission has a select group of eminent Mentors who will actively guide and work with the distinguished members of the Commission. The charge of the Commission is the urgent task of
developing global wisdom, ethics and spirituality through deep dialogue to help guide the planet towards creative solutions of the great human, cultural and ecological problems.
"...this Commission is unique in bringing together
diverse moral and political leaders in continuing global dialogue to cultivate global ethics on a global scale. And we believe that this vital task of
clarifying global vision, wisdom and values that have moral and rational weight for the global community is a key factor in producing tangible practical solutions.... In addition, the work of this Commission is expected to deepen and supplement the important work of the
United Nations in its continuing efforts along these lines."
Foundation for Conscious
Evolution:
"Barbara Marx Hubbard ....reveals the evolutionary woman that is now appearing on the planet; one who is connected through the heart to the whole of life and is awakened from within by a passionate desire to express her unique creativity for the good of the self and the whole human family. Ultimately,
it is this evolutionary woman who will guide humanity as this planet transitions toward a new world that works for everyone."

"New Thinking for a New Era"
by Erwin Laslo:
"We are transiting into a new kind of society.... What we are now living through is the transition from nationally based industrial
societies to an interconnected and information-based global economic and social
system. ...
" In the past, our lives have been shaped mainly by information processed
in human brains. ... But in the course of the twentieth century, the information
processed in human brains has been increasingly supplemented by information processed
in technical systems.
"In the last decade of this century, we find ourselves not
only in a social but also in an informational environment. Our societies have become
more than social systems: They have turned into information-based sociotechnological
ones. ...time has telescoped.... Suddenly, standard values and beliefs became irrelevant --
classical
assumptions about the nature of the contemporary world have collapsed. This world
is no longer an arena of the struggle between capitalism and communism led by two
superpowers; it is a more complex world..."

World Council of Religious Leaders:
"'It is my hope that the World Council of Religious Leaders and the signing of this charter will serve as a model and guide for the creation of a community of world religions, says Bawa Jain, Secretary General of the Millennium World Peace Summit.
'By launching this Council and signing this charter, we are
redefining the role of religions in a world torn by conflict.'
" Another goal of the World Council of Religious Leaders and its Charter is for it to become an active partner with the United Nations in reducing conflict, poverty and environmental degradation. ...
