“The idea is that of the earth not only becoming covered with myriad grains of thought, but becoming enclosed in a single thinking envelope so as to form, functionally, no more than a single vast grain of thought on the sidereal scale, the plurality of individual reflections grouping themselves together and reinforcing one another in the act of a single unanimous reflection...A new domain of psychical expansion- that is what we lack. And it is staring us in the face if we would only raise our heads to look at it.” IfsThinkingLooksIdeasEarthTogetherFacesFormIndividualBecomingReflectionHarmonyRaisesScalesStaringCoveredGrainExpansionDomainEnvelopes Author:Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
“If the positive innovations connect exponentially before the massive breakdowns reinforce one another, the system can re-pattern itself to a higher order of consciousness and freedom without the predicted economic, environmental, and social collapse...If the system could go either way, a slight intervention to assist the convergence of the positive can tip the scales of evolution in favor of the enhancement of life on Earth.” IfsWayEarthOrderSocialConsciousnessEconomicEvolutionHigherInnovationHarmonyEnvironmentalPatternsFavorsScalesMassiveCollapseInterventionBreakdownConvergenceEnhancement Author:Barbara Marx Hubbard
