This piece of work clearly puts together a report on Ervin Laszlo’s scientific research and explanation in a framework and his sense of “oneness.” As a philosopher of science, Laszlo uses quantum physics to present a holistic perspective of the as it were “the emerging new world.” He presents people as change agents anchoring his argument on the effects of peoples activities on nature. In his change and shift discourse, Laszlo presents two approaches: That of “Business as usual“ and that of “Timely Transformation”. In his critical reasoning of what he has described as “macroshift” Laszlo presents four phases of the shift process: The Trigger Phase, The Transformation Phase, The critical / chaotic phase where he lays emphasis on the three Cs (Communication, consciousness and connections) and the breakdown phase .

Objectives & Topics
This report aims to analyze Ervin Laszlo’s scientific research regarding the concept of a "macroshift" and the evolving reality of the global human experience. It explores how quantum physics and philosophy converge to explain the fundamental shifts in nature, consciousness, and social structures, while evaluating the potential for a more sustainable, interconnected global society.
- Scientific analysis of the "macroshift" and reality transformation.
- The impact of technological evolution on human interconnection.
- Philosophical and theological implications of "oneness" in a global context.
- Practical approaches to global problem-solving and planetary consciousness.
- The role of think tanks, such as the Club of Budapest, in shaping societal values.
Excerpt from the Book
INTRODUCTION
“Change is no longer mere theory … no longer merely an option, it is a reality, an imperative of our survival.” Ervin Laszlo (2008)
This piece of work clearly puts together a report on Ervin Laszlo’s scientific research and explanation in a framework and his sense of “ oneness.” As a philosopher of science, Laszlo uses quantum physics to present a holistic perspective of the as it were “ the emerging new world. ” He presents people as change agents anchoring his argument on the effects of peoples activities on nature. In his change and shift discourse, Laszlo presents two approaches: That of “ Business as usual “ and that of “ Timely Transformation”. In his critical reasoning of what he has described as “ macroshift” Laszlo presents four phases of the shift process: The Trigger Phase, The Transformation Phase, The critical / chaotic phase where he lays emphasis on the three Cs (Communication, consciousness and connections) and the breakdown phase .
This narrative focuses on evolutions; in his words, Laszlo says “… We are on the threshold of a new stage of social, spiritual and cultural evolution…” (p.133) He presents a fine blend of two narratives ; a research report and his experience both focusing on shifts and changes : “ reality transformation.” He also insists that these shifts ‘are under our feet ‘ and hence his discourse on the evolution of sub cultures and the subsequent emerging changes in the values, ethics, cultures with their attendant shifts. His arguments are metaphysical, theological with ethical implications. He also presents the cosmic plenum as the new fundamental concept of reality.
Summary of Chapters
Introduction: This chapter introduces Ervin Laszlo’s scientific and philosophical framework, focusing on his theory of "macroshift," the evolution of human consciousness, and the necessity of transitioning from "business as usual" to a "timely transformation."
General analysis and Discussions: This section provides a critical analysis of the "reality revolution," exploring how dual shifts in nature and technology impact global relationships, shocks, and human survival strategies.
Conclusions: This chapter synthesizes the author's perspective on how Laszlo’s work contributes to the globalization debate by blending metaphysics, theology, and quantum physics.
Statement about Like or Dislike: The author evaluates the book as a valuable resource for development practitioners, highlighting the practical utility of the "how-to" guides provided in the text for action planning.
General Recommendations: This brief section formally recommends the book as an essential read for those interested in the multidisciplinary discourse surrounding climate change and globalization.
Bibliography: This section lists the core text reviewed in the report.
