Notice nature.
Notice your emotions.
Notice each other.
We are all living within the same shared reality, but the ego selfishly whispers, "only my own survival matters."
In his new book, "Evolving Awareness: Why Kindness Matters," author Brian Joel Jolley makes the extraordinary case that the evolution of consciousness has been embedded - but unnoticed - within the creation story of Genesis; that this old myth contains vital philosophical, moral, and ecological truths for humanity that have been overlooked by Christianity and Judaism for millennia. And the message is told from a secular, non-religious perspective.
The book bridges science, spirituality, ecology and ethics to explore consciousness, empathy, and the interconnection of all living things.
Drawing from evolutionary science, systems thinking, and human empathy, Jolley introduces a model of awareness that evolves from instinct to ego to compassion. The book explores how our species' growing self-centered-ness has disconnected us from nature and each other—and how kindness may be the next great leap in the evolution of consciousness.
Whether you're a curious skeptic, a spiritual seeker, or someone rethinking old stories in the light of new truths, this book offers a bold, beautiful new lens on who we are—and who we might become.

Expanding awareness starts with the awareness of self. Be still and notice the world outside of your thoughts. Listen to your body. Listen to the breeze. Listen to the birds. Feel the sunshine. Notice the life forms around you and see that everyone has as much right to exist as you do.
To conquer the ego is to realize that we are not the center of the universe.
