Announcing an Evocative New Issue of Kosmos


To Kosmos Online Subscribers,

What a privilege to be alive today and to become aware of who we are 
and why we were born at this particular point in history.  Many of us 
now identify ourselves as planetary citizens - and we want to play a 
role in how our planetary culture unfolds. Kosmos has hit the post 
office and should be received by all subscribers in less than two 
weeks. We hope it will stir the mind and emotions towards finding 
meaning and fulfilling purpose in building a global culture and 
civilization for the benefit of all life.

Jean Houston is featured with a story about the kind of 
dynamic/contemplative leadership necessary for our times. She calls it 
Social Artistry.  Her spontaneous creativity is now being witnessed 
throughout the world as a result of her recent affiliation with the 
United Nations Development Program.

Subhankar Banerjee spent two years in subzero weather in the Arctic 
National Wildlife Refuge to bring into our lives the stunning beauty 
and precious purity of untouched nature. Threatened by prospects of oil 
drilling, those who revere nature might find themselves moved to action 
by his photographic journey.

Richard Falk, our international legal expert, tells us why 
international law is crucial in a globalized world as the Geneva 
Conventions come into question.  New methods of conducting business to 
build trust along with profits is addressed by Frank Dixon.

The role of beauty and culture in breaking down separative boundaries 
is featured, with articles by John O’Donohue along with photos which 
stir our inner lives. Several conferences are presented that are 
helping build our global civilization – books, films – more color and 
images and more…..

We invite you to visit our updated website: www.kosmosjournal.org where

Currently the direction of our global future is being left to chance 
and to opportunists.

Is there anything more needed today than a group of informed and 
compassionate people from across the planet to take responsibility for 
building a sustainable global culture and civilization we can be proud 
of?
