A glow ripples outward from the first spark of conscious reflection. The point of ignition grows larger. The fire spreads in ever widening circles till finally the whole planet is covered in incandescence.
The very act by which the fine edge of our minds penetrates the absolute is a phenomenon of emergence...extended to the whole inorganic and organic volume of matter, evolution is now gaining on the psychic zones of the world and transferring to the spiritual constructs of life.
This great organism lives only because of, and for the sake of, a new soul. Beneath a change of age lies a change of thought. Where are we to look for it? Where are we to situate this renovating and subtle alteration, while, without appreciably changing our bodies, has made new creatures of us? In one place, and one place only, in a new intuition involving a total change in the physiognomy of the universe, in other words, in an awakening.
Convergent movement will attain such intensity and such gravity that taken as a whole, mankind will be forced to reflect upon itself at a single point, to abandon its organ-planetary foothold so as to shift its center on the transcendent center of its increasing concentration. This will be the end and the fulfillment of the spirit of the earth.
Pierre Telhard du Chardin, The Phenomenon of Man
The coming age will be a time of incredible blessing, restored ecological balance, international cooperation, and universal harmony. Planetary resources will be realistically understood and properly utilized. Humanity will be at peace. All life-forms will work together in harmony, cultivating the full potential of the planet. It will be an age of revelation during which the mind and plans of the Creator will be made clear for all to see. It will be the age when the final stage of incarnation becomes fully manifest in form. When Spirit, working through a fully awakened and responsible humanity constructs itself a mobile physical body.
The Starseed Transmissions
Soon the human family will realize what is happening. No longer functioning as five billion isolated individuals, but arising as a Single Being, soon, very soon, a Holy and Integrated Child of Eternity will take charge of its own destiny.
Vision
A chain reaction in human understanding resulting in planetary awakening could theoretically occur at any time. On the eve of this great metahistorical event, the current of universal attention is flowing so powerfully toward this imminent awakening that it resembles a river approaching floodtide.
The field of collective human consciousness is now entering the final stage of the awakening process, congealing into awareness of itself as the organ of consciousness of a single planetary being.
When you understand the nature of your essential being in metapersonal terms, you know your human body as a cell in a developing planetary organism. And you recognize in that organism the signature of your own spirit identity.
Starseed, The Third Millennium
This spiritual brotherhood is destined to become a living organism.
