Musings on conscious evolution as a ’spiritual’ practice for atheists

The esoteric spiritual traditions excel at delivering a 1st person experience of divinity: the deity is not just out there (3rd and 2nd person perspective) but also in you and me….we are that in the 1st person. Modernity has keenly focused on the objective world, the 3rd person perspective, and helped us fall in love with amazing intelligence and beauty of Nature. But, that awe and devotion is directed outwards towards Nature. What if we do a 180 degree shift and recognise the 1st person experience “I am Nature”. Evolution is one of the biggest ideas in modernity. It’s not just about ‘the survival of the fittest’, but is also an exhilarating unfolding of greater complexity within ourselves, culture and nature. What is it like to feel this creative evolutionary urge as our own identity? Could this be a solution to the meaning crisis of modernity? Could this be a path of ‘spiritual’ practice for atheists?
