Rob Cobbold is founding editor of consciousevolution.co.uk. He's a critical thinker, a program manager for the Green Schools partnership and is studying for a Masters in Sustainable Leadership. He's a key mover in the world of conscious evolution and here, he describes why consciousness is the next evolutionary step and how we might get there.
I haven't often had the pleasure of speaking with someone else whose life revolves around the concept of conscious evolution: what it is, why its time is now (with increasing urgency) and how we might move the great, hypercomplex, super-connected web of humanity towards it. Rob has both a materialist and a spiritual perspective on the ways we might reach conscious evolution so this was a particularly interesting deep dive into what it will take to reach our critical mass.
