Hoards of spending-crazy citizens line up at the doors, eager to charge through in hopes of landing some great bargain. People have actually died after falling and being trampled, while countless others get into fights over merchandise.<\/p>\n<p>Has Black Friday evolved into a symbol of greed and cultural decline in America?

Many have sought meaning in the sacred texts of the world&#8217;s many religions, including the New Testament of the Bible, which centers on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. One statement by Jesus, however, may hold the key to our collective future, &#8220;You will do the works that I do, and greater works will you do in the fullness of time.&#8221; Are we moving from self-consciousness to the dawn of co-creative consciousness, bringing forth a New Earth, new heavens and new worlds in realizing our full potential?<\/p>\n<p>Barbara Marx Hubbard&#8217;s extraordinary book, <em>The Evolutionary <a href=\"https:\/\/barbadamslive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/TheEvolutionaryTestamentofCoCreationBOOKCOVER.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9749\" src=\"https:\/\/barbadamslive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/TheEvolutionaryTestamentofCoCreationBOOKCOVER.jpg\" alt=\"TheEvolutionaryTestamentofCoCreationBOOKCOVER\" width=\"80\" height=\"122\" \/><\/a>Testament of Co-Creation<\/em>, offers an evolutionary, future-oriented perspective to the Gospels of Jesus Christ. She reveals that many of the miracles Jesus performed are actually similar to those acts that we currently aspire to achieve today, but so often without consciousness of Christ love. She believes The Promise is being kept and that we are all being changed. We have the power of what we called gods. We can destroy the world and we also can restore the Earth, evolve ourselves and all of society.<\/p>\n<p>Barbara Marx Hubbard has been called &#8220;the voice for conscious evolution&#8221; by Deepak Chopra. As the subject of Neale Donald Walsch&#8217;s book, <em>The Mother of Invention<\/em>, many would agree Barbara is the world&#8217;s foremost global ambassador for conscious change.<\/p>\n<p>At heart, Barbara is a visionary and social innovator. She thinks from an evolutionary perspective and believes that global change happens when we work collectively and selflessly for the greater good.<\/p>\n<p>A prolific author and educator, Barbara has written seven books on social and planetary evolution. She has produced, hosted, and contributed to countless documentaries seen by millions around the world.<\/p>\n<p>In 1984, Barbara&#8217;s name was placed in nomination for the Vice Presidency of the United States on the Democratic Party ticket. In addition, she co-founded the World Future Society and the Association for Global New Thought.<\/p>\n<p>Barbara Marx Hubbard is not an idealist, nor does she believe that social and planetary change is simple. What she does believe is that humanity has the tools, fortitude, and resolve to take the leap towards conscious evolution.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/barbaramarxhubbard.com\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/barbaramarxhubbard.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>December 5, 2015 &#8211; Archives\/Pod Casts\u00a0\u00a0Hour 1 &#8211;\u00a0Hour 2 &#8211; Hour 3 Hour 1:\u00a0 OPEN DISCUSSION on\u00a0The San Bernardino Mass Shooting\u00a0and Black Friday: Symbol of\u00a0 Greed in America We&#8217;ll open tonight&#8217;s discussion with a talk about the recent mass shooting in San Bernardino then follow with a discussion about Black Friday.
