Declaration of the First Planetary State of Emergency on Escalating Climate Destabilization
We the citizens of Earth are endowed with certain inalienable rights, powers and obligations. These rights, powers and obligations demand that we act both individually and in concert to protect and preserve the evolution of life on earth as well as the common well-being of current and future generations.
The Most Dangerous Climate Cliff Tipping Points of Catastrophic, Irreversible and Extinction-Level Climate Destabilization
Are our families, businesses and nations prepared to adapt to increasing climate destabilization already manifesting in weather extremes, growing economic losses and increasing food and resource shortages? If we ignore the current science, are we prepared for the increasing severe consequences as we march toward catastrophic and finally irreversible climate destabilization?
New Terms Climate Cliff, Catastrophic, Irreversible or Extinction-Level Climate Destablization Replacing Global Warming
More non-profit environmental groups, media, NGO's, corporations and governments are beginning to abandon the terms global warming and climate change for the new terms climate cliff, climate destabilization, catastrophic climate destabilization irreversible climate destabilization and extinction level climate destabilization. They are doing so for many reasons.
Universe Day 2014 and the Current State of Global Warming and Climate Destabilization
There are important reasons behind this year's primary message for Universe Day 2014 which is:
1.) increasing awareness of the looming climate cliff, (which is crossing the global warming tipping points leading to irreversible or extinction-level climate destabilization.) Current escalating climate destabilization is the result of human-caused carbon pollution of our atmosphere by fossil fuels.
2.) dramatically reducing human-caused atmospheric carbon emissions on an emergency basis!

Authors and Luminaries Comments on the Universe for the 3rd Annual Universe Day
Celebrating New Universe Day 2012, Nancy Ellen Abrams and Joel R. Primack (http://new-universe.org).
Our 13.7 billion year old universe was shaped by the instant at the beginning of the Big Bang called “cosmic inflation,” during which a quantum sized region grew exponentially, doubling in size again and again and again. The universe exploded by at least 30 orders of magnitude in that tiny fraction of a second to the size of a newborn baby, then abruptly changed at the Big Bang to much slower expansion. At the Big Bang the blueprint for the entire future evolution of our universe on large scales was already in place, created during that wild instant of cosmic inflation.

Ritual is important for us, as a means of celebrating life. Universe Day is a special ritual which offers a Cosmic context for the celebration of all life and connection.
As we engage in conscious transformation, we move into the understanding that we are the Universe. We are the very dust and atoms of the Cosmos, consciously organized into miraculous bodies that allow our breathe to rise and fall, giving us life. As we breath, so does the Universe expand and contract. Consider us to be a microcosm of the Universe. We are a marvelous, intricate and fantastic evolutionary organism that is moving into it's next destiny, that of homo sapiens sentient.

From Deep Spirit: Cracking the Noetic Code, Christian de Quincey
One moment I was simply “me” driving home, distinct and separate from everything around me. The next moment, all boundaries began to dissolve. Not just that everything was connected to everything else, but everything flowed into and created everything else—one vast ocean of Being.

A Cosmic Orientation: The evolution of our consciousness and our culture is an awe-inspiring task, but I believe it is possible for anyone who cares deeply enough about it. Those of us who feel compelled by the evolutionary impulse must be willing to embrace the dramatic scale at which the life-process is operating. When we awaken to the fact that we are part of a fourteen-billion-year process that is going somewhere, we begin to see our own day-to-day, moment-to-moment choices in a literally cosmic context. We see our own presence here on earth in relationship to the evolution of the cosmos itself.
