I kind of like this idea, because it is difficult to understand how everyone could achieve a leap of consciousness all at once. Magical waves from outer space is hard to substantiate, but I could see how an NDE experience could effect everyone. Not all the same, but the life review that many say will come at the judgment has already been experienced by others who came back to tell the tale.

Those who have say that the judgment is made by our own self and not a vindictive overlord.

During Judgment Day, we are all supposed to face Judgment.

But NDErs who come back from their own personal NDEs are quite consistent in their reports saying that they DID experience a very comprehensive full-life review during their NDEs, having every one of their sins and errors pointed out to them, as well as seeing the consequences of those sins, as well also of experiencing great distress, inner pain, and grief over having committed those sins.

I am inclined to think that what we all now see approaching, whatever you wish to call it, will do pretty much the same thing to us collectively. Thus, a genuine "Judgment" at Judgment Day.

And yes, I often forget to log in. Deal with it.

The thing is, there does seem to be quite a bit of evidence that this sort of species-wide quantum shift in consciousness has occurred in the past (see Julian Jaynes' seminal work "The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind"). And what has occurred before can, and probably will, occur again.

I am intrigued by the hypothesis that this is all connected to the 26,000 year "Great Year" precession cycle, but the supporting evidence for that hypothesis is tentative at best at this point.
