Announcing the 3rd annual Universe Day: an annual event December 31st at noon through January 1st at noon. Universe Day seeks to take the leap where Earth Day leaves off…into better sustaining life on our planet from a universe scaled evolutionary perspective. Universe day is also all about forwarding Job One for Humanity, which is dealing with severe climate change!

Overwhelmed at how many challenges there are on this planet? The message behind Universe Day is derived in part from the wisdom of Albert Einstein when he said: “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” One doesn’t have to be a scientist, activist, or political analyst to know that the challenges faced on a worldwide scale (severe climate change, war,  environmental degradation, the unstable global economy...) have serious consequences. But rather than merely feeling overwhelmed by these issues, the impetus behind Universe Day is to expand one's perspective on how one thinks about them and shift our lives into better alignment with universe evolution informed solutions --- new strategies for improvement based on universe science.

Universe Day is essentially a challenge to all of us. Amazing leaps in technology have extended the vision of the naked eye well over a million times. With recent innovations in astronomy and evolutionary science, we’ve discovered more factual knowledge about the universe in the last 20 years than all of human history. With these leaps in our collective vision, we are touched and impacted in our consciousness by the rareness and miracle of what we have here on Earth. In other words: just as the universal informs the personal, so does it transform our planetary perspectives. Can we use these new extensions to our collective eyes, ears, hearts, and souls to examine what this universe means to us?

Universe Day, as a day we observe it together, is a challenge that WE share together. We invite you to gather, to celebrate, to introspect and create new universe evolutionary solutions. Explore how do you want to live in alignment with universe evolution on this planet?

Share what specific universe evolution aligned solutions do you have for your own life, in what you share with others, and for the actions you take that have planetary impact? We want and need you to share with us your exploration and discoveries. Similar to Earth Day events, individuals and organizations all over the planet are encouraged to self-organize their own Universe Day meet-ups to forward the Universe Day message.

Why does Universe Day land on noon December 31st to noon on January 1st? The New Year’s holiday is a time spent by many to reflect on the previous year, and examine how they want to live in the New Year about to begin. Celebration is also a way to energize intentions. Mark Twain said, “Never trust your mind when your imagination is out of focus.” Likewise, on Universe Day, how might one shape their New Year’s resolutions when the biggest possible perspective of the whole Universe is in focus?

What will you do as part of the universe on this Universe Day January 1st?
The universe is waiting for you…
