Syntropy Module Two
On Cosmogenesis

In this profound dialogue, Dr. Brian Thomas Swimme, Dr. Philip Snow Gang, and Tammy Oesting explore the intricate concept of cosmogenesis, revealing how the universe’s evolutionary process connects deeply with Montessori’s cosmic education philosophy. The video illuminates the radical understanding that humans are not separate from the universe but are the universe experiencing itself through conscious awareness and creative potential. Through their discussion, they invite viewers to reimagine education as a transformative journey that recognizes each individual’s participation in the ongoing creation of cosmic consciousness.

 Embracing the vision of Maria Montessori, including rare glimpses into revelations gleaned during her years in India, we will explore Montessori’s lifelong exponential realizations that lead to the question: What form of education might liberate teachers and learners from unexplored assumptions so that they can become the catalysts for the “new human” — one whose integral relationship with Gaia is bound by right-action and love?
