a carefully curated treasure trove
of miscellaneous conscious
evolutionary utopian artworks,
auditory & visual,
curated by Neonn Felicity
The following is a randomized highlight reel of the most prodigiously felicitous pieces of my information diet, the media that I believe every conscious person ought to digest and share. This site will be a constant work-in-progress, as I continue in my quest to discover and curate the most enlightening art and literature I can find in cyberspace.
So really, thanks for being here! Cosmic Evolution appreciates your intentional attention! And it is my sincerest hope that you benefit from these exceptional philosophical artistic geniuses and their various epic masterpieces as much as I have. I owe the depth and breadth of my own consciousness to the profound truth and goodness in their vision, and to their powerful ability to express it so beautifully.
♥ Enjoy & Evolve ♥

“In the midst of loss and death and suffering, our charge is to figure out what freedom really means—and how we take steps to get there. Join Marc Lamont Hill, phillip agnew, and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor for an urgent conversation about the ongoing struggle for freedom in the wake of the 2020 election. The uprising of 2020 marked a new phase in the unfolding Movement for Black Lives. The brutal killings of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, and Breonna Taylor, and countless other injustices large and small, lit the spark of the largest protest movement in US history, a historic uprising against racism and the politics of disposability that the Covid-19 pandemic lays bare. In his urgent and incisive new book We Still Here: Pandemic, Policing, Protest, and Possibility, Marc Lamont Hill critically examines the “pre-existing conditions” that have led us to this moment of crisis and upheaval, guiding us through both the perils and possibilities, and helping us imagine an abolitionist future.”

❝ In the era of colorblindness, it is no longer socially permissible to use race, explicitly, as a justification for discrimination, exclusion, and social contempt. Yet, as legal star Michelle Alexander reveals, today it is perfectly legal to discriminate against convicted criminals in nearly all the ways that it was once legal to discriminate against African Americans. Once you’re labeled a felon, the old forms of discrimination―employment discrimination, housing discrimination, denial of the right to vote, denial of educational opportunity, denial of food stamps and other public benefits, and exclusion from jury service―are suddenly legal. ❞

Pat the Bunny is my favorite singer-songwriter. This is a compilation of all the songs he recorded in the first iteration of his musical identity, when he was a teenage drifter anarchist addict singing under the name Johnny Hobo. These songs were all released as a series of demo EPs of super ghetto–but still so beautiful–recording quality, and this is an attempt to improve the quality of all those recordings made in squats and encampments across the country on his travels, to bring them all together in one magnificent album of semi-acoustic anarchist anthems. ♥ Neonn

❝ Blending cutting-edge ideas with incisive spiritual insights, Evolutionaries is the first popular presentation of an emerging school of thought called “evolutionary spirituality.” Carter Phipps, the former executive editor of EnlightenNext magazine, asserts that evolution is not only a scientific but also a spiritual idea in a book whose message has the power to bring new meaning and purpose to life as we know it. Readers will be fascinated and enlightened by Evolutionaries, a book which Deepak Chopra, the world-renowned author of The Seven Spiritual Laws of Superheroes, Jesus, and Buddha, says “is going to help create a worldview that will influence our vision of the future direction of evolution and also our role in consciously participating in it. ❞

Albert Wenger
A BIG Idea, a Bot Idea:
How Smart Policy Will Advance TechTEDxNewYork Talk [2015]
“Many of our current economic policies originated during times of scarcity. But now, says investor Albert Wenger, we live in an era of “digital abundance,” when creating new products costs virtually nothing. To adapt to the resulting economic upheavals, we won’t need just more tech, says Wenger, but some strong policies. Here he explores two: basic income guarantee and the right to be represented by a bot.”

Ceschi
behind bars pt 2
Existential Hip-Hop Album [2013]
“Over time I’ve done many collaborative songs. Some of these are probably familiar to you while others barely came out or never came out. After 10 plus years of rapping on other people’s songs it’s gotten to the point where it would be possible to gather quite a few albums worth of this material – like maybe 50. One day, before i was locked up, my friend Mo Niklz suggested that he’d like to compile mixes of key verses I’ve done on tracks with other folks. He came up with the title “ceschi behind bars” which was just awfully sad and funny at the same time – which may also be a good adjective combo to describe a lot of what i do. Mo searched far and wide for some of these tracks and had the patience of saint when i sent him constantly updated lists of tracks i was on – even from prison. Massive thank you to Mo for making this happen and thanks to all of artists who asked me to be on tracks over the years!”

I love this show because the Jesus character is very realistic, like this is what Jesus would be like in modern society. He’s homeless & his nemesis is the landlord of the apartment complex where his homies live, where he often hangs out. They start a community garden & the landlord asshole tries to use the police to get it shut down. Lots of hilarious situations ensue. Enjoy! ♥Neonn
