Global Consciousness Project

Someday after mastering winds, waves, tides and gravity, we shall harness the energies of love, and then, for the second time in the history of the world, man will discover fire.

Teilhard de Chardin

I found this quote in an article posted at the Global Consciousness Project at Princeton. My mind is moving so quickly to encompass all the possibilities of this project. Global awareness of the effect of focused consciousness. Would that be good? Isn't the consciousness of the many already being manipulated by the few. Would awareness of the energy focused by each individual impact how that individual chooses to focus?

there are intriguing signs of an emerging integration of purpose and perspective in the world, though it remains fragile and as delicate as a newborn. For this integration to mature, we need great patience, and what we think of as "good luck." Perhaps by being more conscious of the possibilities, we can lessen the need for patience and increase our portion of luck.


Hmm. Food for thought.
