Do you want the dominator, militaristic structure that has gained so much power? Do we want that? What if the very breakdown is the opportunity that the emerging civilization and the emerging species absolutely requires?
TBH - When you said basically that the child being born is still in the womb of self-consciousness, do you mean that when we come out of the womb that we will transcend the limited human concept of self into a transformative evolved sense of self that's universal?
Barbara - I do. I think that we've had great beings for the last 5000 years who have done this. It's not like it's totally new. All the great avatars have led the way with this. Religions have been founded by people who broke through. But they did it as extra ordinary people bound by their culture. What's happening now, I'm thinking of it as an incarnation of the essential divine self coming in as our own identity. When you shift your identity from your local personality to your central, higher God-self - whatever you want to call it - when you shift that identity you begin the process of giving birth inside yourself to this universal human that has been called Homo Noeticus, Homo universalis…
TBH – But we’re still stuck with Homo neuroticus…
Barbara – Yes, that's definitely here! Homo neuroticus happens when people who don't see their own emergence as part of what's happening become not only neurotic, but depressed, and alienated and frantic. Here we have this new perspective supported by science and popularized by such mainstream movies as What the BLEEP Do We Know!? on the nature of reality, and the nature of the subatomic level being fully connected and alive, reinforcing our spiritual intuitions and telling us that this form of consciousness is not something weird or even extraordinary. We’re learning it's the universe in person as us.
I've realized that everyone is the universe in person. So whatever is true of the universe is also true of you and me. If the universe is entangled and participatory at the subatomic level, so are we. So the consciousness I'm speaking of is not some foreign breakthrough that we've never heard of. It’s actually a gentle emergence of what's been happening for thousands of years.
TBH – And being impatient, short-lived human beings, we have a tendency to not recognize process, or we tend to define process in terms of our own time period on this earth where 10 or 20 years is a long time. We don’t usually think in terms of thousands of years of evolution.
Barbara – Correct. And I would like to add the question of timing to this, because ordinarily evolution works very slowly. But we also now know about punctuated equilibrium. If we really are at what people like Erwin Laszlo and many others have termed the bifurcation point - a macro shift where the system is so far out of balance that small fluctuations can shift the whole system very quickly because it's all unstable – the theory says small fluctuations of small numbers of people who are aligned in their consciousness and creativity can jump this system fast.
