     The Third International Symposium Science and Consciousness 
took place in Ancient Olympia, 4-7 January, 1993.  One hundred 
and four scientists and specialists with multidisciplinary 
backgrounds from 20 countries participated in a conference whose 
purpose was to explore the relationship between science and 
consciousness and to build a bridge between them by means of 
cooperative dialogue.
 
     One of the outcomes of this Symposium is the following:
 
 
                     THE OLYMPIA DECLARATION
 
 
     As every informed and concerned person knows, our planet 
Earth is undergoing ecological and social crises which may 
destroy much of humanity and other life within the next few 
decades.
 
     We believe it is vital to recognize that the basic problem 
behind these crises is a lack of understanding of more profound 
aspects of human consciousness and a dangerous denial of 
spiritual values.  We speak especially of the realization of our 
fundamental interconnectedness and interdependence and the deep 
values of cooperation which arise from this realization.
 
     Therefore we, the participants in the Third International 
Symposium on Science and Consciousness, call for intense, 
world-wide efforts by all people, especially scientists, 
educators and decision makers, to increase out understanding of 
consciousness and to foster the development of spiritual values 
in our lives.
 
     If we do not do so, we are unlikely to survive.
