About NEW AGE of Evolution
concept
(quotes from various books)
"We think of changes in technology and science, in business and
politics, and in society as a whole. But does the New Age have a meaning
to the planet itself as a living being and to the other inhabitants upon
the Earth?...In fact, the New Age is more a planetary, or Gaian, phenomenon
than it is a human one, and its primary locus of impact or unfoldment is
within the inner realms rather than in this physical one. Looked at in
this perspective, the New Age is a change in the subtle dimensions of the
Earth, the ripples of which we will feel outwardly. It is like an earthquake
deep under the sea that triggers a wave that hits the coastlines."
(David Spangler, "Reimagination of the World." p.117).
"If the whole cosmos somehow participates in guiding the evolution
of each of its parts, then we may well find that our guiding fact, the
evolution of consciousness out of that which is unconsciousness, is not
merely local but is occurring throughout the cosmos." (John L. Hitchcock,
"Atoms, Snowflakes and God." p.16).
"Every single individual on the face of the earth and beyond has
a divine attribute already in some degree of expression. And it is this
spiritual 'light' that we can use as our foundation on which to build a
new and a better life...the kind of life that is our divine heritage. this
means that regardless of the level of our entry, we are all potential Superbeings
now. We are all on the Path whether we know it or not..."(John Randolph
Price, "The Superhuman." p.30).
"It is time to redefine our place on Earth. The evolutionary path
followed by our species was development of a massive and complex brain
which gifted us with memory, curiosity, imagination, and inventiveness....The
human brain now holds the key to our future. we have to recall the image
of the planet from outer space: a single entity in which air, water, and
continents are interconnected. This is our home."(David Suzuki, "Save
The Earth." p.19).
"We now have a new spirituality, what has been called the New
Age movement....This is now beginning to influence concepts of politics
and community ecology....This is the Gaia [Mother Earth] politique... planetary
culture."(William Irwin Thompson, founder of Lindisfarne Assoc.).
"I believe the appropriate symbol of the Cosmic Christ...is that
of Jesus as Mother Earth crucified yet rising daily....[T]he symbol of
which I speak holds the capacity to launch a global spirituality of untold
dimensions appropriate to the third millennium."(Globalist theologian
Matthew Fox).
"Each person must learn to think like Earth, to act like Earth,
to be Earth...." (Gerald Barney, founder and executive director of
the Millennium Institute).
"This 780 page book starts with cosmic evolution, from the big
bang to human culture. It follows the continuous creation of emerging complexity
from quarks, though atoms, molecules, galaxies, planets, life, consciousness,
the brain, the mind, primordial humans, the ages of magic, myth, and reason.
Each new age has witnessed the unfolding of things new, things unpredictable
from simpler entities of which it is composed. These new entities are both
parts and wholes, systems within systems, "holons." All holons
are composed of more primitive holons, and become parts of more complex
holons. "It is holons from beginning to end, from start to finish."
(Tranet, January, 1996. p.1).
"The 'physiosphere' governed by its descending arrow of time as
order disintergrates into disorder under the second law of thermodynamics,
has emerged into the 'biosphere' governed by an ascending arrow of time
in which order is produced from disorder....from the biosphere has emerged
the 'noosphere', which is more than an evolving sea of thoughts or field
of knowledge recorded in human minds and human literature. The noosphere
is a governing reality dissociated from the physiophere and the biosphere.
It has evolved beyond that magic, beyond mythic imperialism and is becoming
an autonomous master of the coming age." (Tranet. No.98, p.1).
"Gaia and the second law of thermodynamics....Through thinking
about Gaia I see our universe as self-organizing and driven by the energy
of its running down. The decline of the universe, like sand trickling through
as hour glass, is essential for maintaining the flux of free energy that
makes life possible. Indeed, it permits the most amazing self-organization
to take place, with us as one of its intricate examples. To be gloomy about
the second law is as foolish as expecting to use a flashlight to see in
the dark, and have the battery last forever." ("Gaia", by
James Lovelock. p.31).
"genes can speak to the planet and how the environment of the
planet affects the survival of the cell and therefore that of the genes
it bears - and vice versa." ("Gaia" by James Lovelock, p.94-94).
"So closely coupled is the evolution of living organisms with
the evolution of their environment that together they constitute a single
evolutionary process in which life has, quite literally, fashioned the
environment to suit itself." (Lovelock, ibid. p.99).
