55-Brian Swimme & Monica DeRaspe-Bolles on Consciousness and Changing the World

Guests on this episode are Brian Swimme, well-known cosmologist, and Monica DeRaspe-Bolles, philosopher. They co-authored the book The Story of the Noosphere and, because the noosphere is consciousness on Earth, it clearly relates to the topic of consciousness and changing the world. You will find this conversation to be fascinating and enlightening. Brian and Monica devoted years in fully understanding the noosphere - a term that Pierre Teilhard de Chardin made famous - and they offer a perspective that is important to humanity at this time of crisis in the world. The noosphere is the sphere of collective consciousness on Earth and is dominated by human consciousness and interpersonal relationships. Cosmologically, they clearly also understand that the evolution of the noosphere is directly related to the unified consciousness of the universe and its progressive physical and conscious evolution. They pointed out that the noosphere is actively participating in, and even guiding, its own conscious evolution. So when we talk about raising human consciousness, it is a collective act of the noosphere, and consciousness is continuously evolving on Earth in both inner and outer aspects. The external world always reflects our level of consciousness in how we behave, what we create, and in all relationships. Right now the state of the world is telling us it's time for all human beings to pay more attention to our inner states of being, become more aware, expand empathy, and live more consciously of the world as a whole. I have read their book; it is incredible and beautiful, organized in a creative new way; and I love it. It is a must read for anyone looking for fresh, wholistic, and inspirational understanding of humanity, human consciousness, and the potential for our future.
