The 'Global Brain'

[ILisa]

Greetings all,

I just came across a most interesting (albeit, old) 1/2 hour video on Google about work by Peter Russell.  The video examines the progress of life/humanity/earth/ consciousness over time.  It is most interesting....and as a lot of you know, I just love 'food for thought'   

....so I thought I'd put this out for you all and see what comes to your mind during or after watching it.

To get you going..... Peter says near the end of the video:

[we, as humans, are now developing]

'an awareness of our inner unity, an awareness that we're all part of something greater; and at the same time, gaining a greater awareness of our individual potentials and uniqueness, a synthesis of greater individuality along with great community."

Wow. 

I look forward to reading your thoughts and comments.....

i can't play video on this thing right now, but i like the idea very much.

more and more i am having a sense of God being ever-present, living, and manifest through the universe and through our relationships, when they are for His sake. i would really like to check this when i get some headphones.

God bless you, and sustain you.

Brilliant link ILisa,

I do think if people follow/ do things according to something like the attributes it would be indeed easier to achieve and some people are doing that especially in the advanced nations.

But there are people who have taken it up to worship rather then practice.


God Bless ya.

Thanks mz,

Glad you liked it.  When I feel that the world around me is too depressing to consider, I have begun to remind myself that there is hope that it will improve!

God bless you too!

Check also out the video-streams by Peter Russel on the topic of consciousness, on his website oron the google site which was linked to earlierin this thread.... quite interesting... it's not old conventional mainstream thinking for sure

Greetings Zulf,

Thanks for the recommendation.  Did you catch the quotes: "Every photon of light is an identical unit of ACTION," and:  "Light is the first manifestation of the Absolute"?

Pretty cool,  especially if you turn it around to say then that every action that we take is adding light to our essence - our being - and bringing us one step closer to the Absolute!

[Zulf]

indeed interesting!
