Changing the Noosphere

[T]he most important thing we can do in . . . moving into the New Civilization is to change the noosphere* and we do that by changing our own consciousness. There are many learning aspects of this, such as . . . learning about biology, ecology, geology, and geography, . . . learning the story of the evolutionary development of the universe and of our place in [it], and . . . becoming aware of our inner connections with all members of the Earth community. When we learn these things . . . we will open to what I will call an ecological imagination, and on this the New Civilization will be built. ~Herman Greene, ecozoicstudies.org, “How We Get to an Ecozoic Society: Ecological Imagination/Common Sense” (upcoming article in The Reader)

We are the emerging civilization, be it evolutionary or devolutionary. One or the other, not by default but by decision, including indecision. ~jpc

O for a leap of compassion. Namaste.
