[quote:Jdd:MV8xMDkzMTk5XzE3NDMzNzExX0I3OEJEOUM5] I think this is wishful thinking. There is nothing in recorded human history to support the notion that this sort of thing ever happens to humanity. There's a big difference between a 100th Monkey type learned behavior across a social group (behavioral evolution, if you will), and mass ascension or surging forward to consciousness by all the living entities on the planet. The latter is not supported by Truth, because it would obviate the individual's free will. Not every being WANTS to ascend, or be propelled forward. They enjoy a certain level of sense gratification -- consciousness -- and that is the sum total of their desire nature. As a follower of the Vedas, I don't accept the notion that the individual's free will is overridden for 'common good', or any other reason. The nature of the soul (jivatma) is sacrosanct. The jiva has free will to relate to the Supreme as s/he will (or won't). That is the eternal cosmic struggle. To attempt to replace it with an illusory, hope against hope scenario like the one you propose is, I think, a useless proposition. [quote:Thomas Dolby] I feel a really deep, deep gut feeling. That something is going to emerge, evolve and explode in our collective reality. The world as a system. As a way of life is going to be transformed. It's going to change forever. Either we are ready or not. Either we accept it or not. As I've said it before. This evolution has a million different tracks. But, it is culminating at the singularity point. The apex is at hand... What do you thik? [/quote] [/quote]

I feel a really deep, deep gut feeling.
That something is going to emerge, evolve and explode in our collective reality.
The world as a system. As a way of life is going to be transformed. It's going to change forever.
Either we are ready or not.
Either we accept it or not.
As I've said it before.
This evolution has a million different tracks.
But, it is culminating at the singularity point.
The apex is at hand...
What do you thik?
