Spiraling Consciousness

Program Overview

Is there an emerging global consciousness? What role do we play in the sacred story of the emergence of the cosmos, earth and humanity? Is the evolutionary impulse that gave birth to the Cosmos waking up as you? How are Unity teachings able to contribute to this evolution of spirituality?
Join Rev. Kelly Isola as she explores the evolution of spirituality using Spiral Dynamics, Integral Theory and connecting with leaders in the field of conscious evolution, science and religion.
Humanity is facing a moment of unprecedented challenge and unprecedented opportunity. As we awaken to the planetary crises facing us, more of us are awakening to our role as co-creators of the future. We're awakening to a new spirituality in which there is no longer any separation between the transformation of ourselves and the evolution of the world. At the heart of this awakening is the evolutionary impulse—the impulse to participate in the evolution of life, culture and consciousness itself. Join us as we explore what it means to participate in the leading edge of evolution and develop a way of thinking about the divine that unites rather than divides humanity.

  • Episode: An Experience of the Three Faces of God, With Guest Rev. Lauri Boyd
    Original air date: Wednesday, August 18, 2010
    Episode Description:
    Thomas Merton, the great Christian contemplative, once said of Thich Nhat Hanh, after only meeting him once, "He is more my brother than many who are nearer to me in race and nationality, because he and I see things exactly the same way." How is it that a Catholic Christian monk and a Zen Buddhist monk could see things in "exactly the same way," even though they theoretically disagreed on the very existence of God? The answer is in perspectives. Discovering new perspectives on Spirit can be an enlightening and life-changing experience. Join Rev. Kelly and Rev. Lauri for an experiential show, learn what the three faces are, and have a meditative experience of each face.
  • Episode: Globalized Soul
    Original air date: Wednesday, August 11, 2010
    Episode Description:
    Is there an emerging global consciousness? We believe there is. That is precisely what Cynthia Lukas and Kell Kearns have found while filming their newest documentary film Globalized Soul. After interviewing scores of spiritual leaders and activists, including several in Unity, we have documented a consensus among religions and spiritual paths on how to face the global crises in front of us. The New Humanity, with its shared values of nonviolence, compassion, environmental stewardship and justice, are leading the way as architects and sacred activists to bring about global transformation. Join for an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation about what is ours to do as spiritual beings creating a New Humanity.
