Despite such dedicated efforts to push science beyond the margins of rationality, Laszlo was miffed that the mainstream science community chose to ignore his "revolutionary proposition" although, he notes, scientists did take the time to ridicule the related (and equally nonsensical) work of Dr Rupert Sheldrake. ![]() Thereafter, between 19, Laszlo, the former highly influential UNESCO science advisor, published four books on psi-fields, these being: The Creative Cosmos, The Interconnected Universe, The Whispering Pond, and The Connectivity Hypothesis. In that same year, Federico Mayor Zaragoza, his "old friend and Club of Rome colleague" was elected Director General of UNESCO and Laszlo joined him as his science advisor no less. What Laszlo means by creating a higher consciousness is best explained by his own magical work, and he recalls how his first published text exploring his conception of the akashic field was published (in Italian) in 1987. Much like the rest of the New Age community, the Club of Budapest decided that the year 2012 was going to be a special time for "sustainable transformation and conscious evolution" and thus on the "auspicious date" of 09/09/09, the Club launched their WorldShift 2012 Movement, which coincided with their latest publication WorldShift 2012: Making Green Business, New Politics & Higher Consciousness. This of course is but a small sample of the powerbrokers collected together by Laszlo, and for further details of the names and affiliations of the Club's full membership, past and present, follow this link. Equally represented among the Club's ranks are less-well-known, yet still influential members of what I like to refer to as the "mumbo jumbo elite," which includes human potential guru Jean Houston, UN International Temple of Understanding chairman Karan Singh, Institute of Noetic Sciences founder Edgar Mitchell, deep ecologist Helena Norberg-Hodge, reincarnation therapist Ruediger Dahlke, New Age philosopher Richard Tarnas, and consciousness mega-star herself, Barbara Marx Hubbard. ![]() Well-known members of Laszlo's unique consciousness-raising-cadre include the Dalai Lama, Peter Gabriel, Oscar Arias, Bianca Jagger, Mikhail Gorbachev, Jane Goodall, Vaclav Havel, Mohammad Yunus, and Desmond Tutu. ![]() Since then, the Club of Budapest has grown in size and political stature and acquired a hundred-strong membership of the world's cultural elite. Although to be fair Laszlo did spend three hours in consultation with the Dalai Lama making final revisions to his final six-page manifesto. ![]() According to Laszlo such a group would be more intuitive and holistically orientated, but things never quite got off the ground And so it was only in 1993 that Laszlo eventually brought together this global cultural group as the Club of Budapest, whose aim was "to achieve timely and fundamental change in the world through timely and fundamental change in people's consciousness." (1) Just as one might expect, the Club of Budapest's "Manifesto for Planetary Consciousness" was written (in 1995) by just one person, Ervin Laszlo - with absolutely no democratic accountability to the mass of humanity whose lives he was attempting to irrevocably alter. This apparently was not feasible, so instead Aurelio proposed that Laszlo should gather together a group of artists, writers, singers, and spiritual leaders to advise the Club. So far Ervin Laszlo's and Aurelio Peccei's efforts to manage the world had ignored the participation of the mass of humanity, and so, as Laszlo tells it, at this stage they realized that changes would not come about unless the elite "were pushed by a critical mass." Therefore, in order to prompt the masses to demand their changes, Laszlo suggested that the Club of Rome needed to include artists among their fold. ![]()
