Collective Consciousness by Erevis<\/p><\/div>\n

By David Bryson, M.D. (Yale, ’63)<\/strong><\/p>\n

November 5, 2011<\/p>\n

The world is a mess.\u00a0 I was totally for Obama 3 years ago and now find him a perp for secret military activities and attacks. The only real positive is the worldwide Occupy movement.<\/p>\n

This weekend (November 5-6) Occupy and the Sierra Club intend to form a human chain around the White House to protest the tar sands project.\u00a0 I suggest that 4 themes be joined together, one for each side of the White House.\u00a0\u00a0 One side for the living biosphere with Sierra Club on that side.\u00a0 The opposite side is anti-military weapons and wars. Protesting Global warming on one side and global warring on the opposite side.\u00a0 The third side is for social and economic equalities with many more in the middle than on top.\u00a0 The last side is for the remaining 7 billion humans, the total world population estimated to have reached and passed 7 billion on October 31.\u00a0 Instead of encircling the White House, ensquare the White House.<\/p>\n

The thinker who best expresses the spirit of the Occupiers is Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955), a French archeologist and priest.\u00a0 He believed that human consciousness is the ultimate expression of evolution, and will spread around the earth to become the noosphere, above the biosphere.\u00a0 Human consciousness will reach what Teilhard calls the \u201comega point.\u201d\u00a0 A Teilhard quote:\u00a0 Human Energy presents itself to our view as the term of a vast process in which the whole mass of the universe is involved.\u00a0 In us, the evolution of the world towards the spirit becomes conscious.\u00a0 From that moment, our perfection, our interest, our salvation as elements of creation can only be to press on with this evolution with all our strength.\u00a0 We cannot understand exactly where it will lead us, but it would be absurd for us to doubt that it will lead us towards some end of supreme value.\u00a0 From this there finally emerges human consciousness, for the first time since the awakening of life on earth, the fundamental problem of Action.\u00a0 No longer, as in the past,\u00a0 for our small selves, for our small family, our small country; but for the salvation and success of the universe, how must we organize around us for the best, the maintenance, distribution, and progress of human energy?<\/p>\n

The energy of the Occupiers comes from gathering together in the same space, mind-to-mind and heart-to-heart.\u00a0 This cannot be done with electronic communication alone.\u00a0 I was watching a video clip of journalist Chris Hedges at the site in Manhattan \u2013 after speaking calmly and eloquently for several minutes he finally said (paraphrase) \u201cthis is not about me \u2013 this is about my three year old child\u201d and Chris suddenly broke into tears on camera. This would not have happened in a TV studio.\u00a0 Being there with hundreds of other human beings tripped the switch from rational thoughts to loving feelings.<\/p>\n

Five years ago I wrote three columns<\/a> for Fog City Journal which proposed a global curriculum named Human History in a Hurry<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It never happened, and the world is worse off now than then.\u00a0 The great evolutionary scientist Ian Tattersall sees humans on earth as \u201caccidental tourists.\u201d Our species does not follow Darwinian rules for survival and reproduction, like every other one of the millions of species.\u00a0 We are a special species, one foot inside and the other outside the Darwinian world.<\/p>\n

Another great evolutionary thinker, E.O. Wilson is soon to release his latest book \u201cThe Social Conquest of Earth.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0From a recent interview:\u00a0 \u201cGroup selection brings about virtue, and \u2013 this is an oversimplification, but \u2013 individual selection, which is competing with it, creates sin.\u00a0 That, in a nutshell, is an explanation of the human condition.\u201d<\/p>\n

From Alexander Pope\u2019s Essay on Man: \u201cCreated half to rise, and half to fall; Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all; Sole judge of all truth, in endless error hurl\u2019d:\u00a0 The glory, jest, and riddle of the world!\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s us: accidental tourists, torn between me-first individualism and altruistic urges for others, the glory, jest, and riddle of the world.<\/p>\n

Throw in Machiavelli, whose concept of \u201cnecessitat\u201d argues that those in power will do whatever is necessary \u2013 lie, cheat, kill, praise, forgive \u2013whatever it takes today to stay in power today and tomorrow.\u00a0 How can the Occupiers overcome that?\u00a0 Not with bombs or bullets, not with ballots.\u00a0 The central hope is that just because history has always repeated itself, it may not continue to do so.\u00a0 The Occupiers are growing worldwide, just like Teilhard wanted.\u00a0 The onsite meetings are announced on Facebook and other websites, fine tuned during the event on Twitter, and shown to all on YouTube.\u00a0 A new beginning for a new history of humanity.<\/p>\n
