Part 4.
A Matured Noosphere
Let’s talk noosphere here. The best we can.
“A radical new phenomenon has emerged worldwide, but it has not yet been recognized. It is called the “noosphere” by Teilhard de Chardin, in his famous work The Phenomenon of Man. The root of the word is noos, meaning mind. The noosphere is the mind-sphere, the thinking layer of Earth, the larger social body created by human intelligence. It is composed of all the spiritual, cultural, social, and technological capacities of humanity, seen as one interrelated superorganism. It is formed from our languages, our art and music, our religious and social structures, our constitutions, our communication systems, our microscopes, our telescopes, our cars, planes, rockets, laboratories, and more. Although we inherited the geosphere, the hydrosphere, and the biosphere, we have generated the noosphere."
— Futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard, Conscious Evolution
Which means this noosphere is like a computer database full of knowledge which humanity has accumulated over time and has access to.
“There is a whole pool of knowledge for the whole human race, like different computers that share a pool of knowledge. This pool of thought has been developing for many thousands of years, and it is full of all sorts of content. This knowledge, or thought, knows all of that content, but it doesn’t know what it is doing. This knowledge knows itself wrongly: it knows itself as doing nothing. It therefore says, “I am not responsible for any of these problems. I’m just here for you to use.”
— Physicist David Bohm, On Dialogue
Which means...
“You cannot teach a person something he does not already know, you can only bring what he does know to his awareness.”
— Physicist Galileo Galilei
And...
“I have discovered nothing new; I have only perceived what I already knew.”
— Writer Leo Tolstoy
Interesting. Now let’s learn more about this noosphere from the man you created the concept, Jesuit Priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, a man whose ideas came why before his time.
“The end of the world: the wholesale internal introversion upon itself of the noosphere, which has simultaneously reached the uttermost limit of its complexity and its centrality . . . the overthrow of equilibrium, detaching the mind, fur filled at last, from its material matrix, so that it will henceforth rest with all its weight on God-Omega . . . critical point simultaneously of emergence and emersion, of maturation and evasion.”
“We see not only thought as participating in evolution as an anomaly or as an epiphenomenon; but evolution as so reducible to and identifiable with a progress towards thought that the movement of our souls expresses and measures the very stages of progress of evolution itself. Man discovers that he is nothing else than evolution become conscious of itself.”
“The human person is the sum total of a 15 billion year chain of unbroken evolution now thinking about itself"
So, help me out, what does this all mean?
“Conscious evolution is occurring in our generation because we are now gaining an understanding of the processes of nature, the gene, the atom, the brain, the origin of the universe, and the whole story of creation from the big bang to us. We are now changing our understanding of how nature evolves; we are moving from unconscious evolution through natural selection to conscious evolution by choice.”
— Futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard, Conscious Evolution
And...
“Conscious evolution has arisen at this precise moment in history because the noosphere has matured and has given humanity powers to affect evolution by choice.”
— Futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard, Conscious Evolution
So, if I understand Jonas correctly, the OCA movement has used knowledge from the matured noosphere (i.e. wisdom from our spiritual voices) to come up with an evolutionary philosophy. And idea, so to speak, to create heaven on earth.
“There’s a time for certain ideas to arrive, and they find a way to express themselves through us.”
— Music Producer Rick Rubin, “The Creative Act: A Way of Being”
“All the forces in the world are not so powerful as an idea whose time has come.”
— Poet Victor Hugo
And...
“Throughout history, humanity has evolved in consciousness, and now at the height of global connection and access to limitless information, we have reached a pivotal moment in our evolution. Things are changing rapidly as humanity experiences an awakening."
— John Rainey, “Finding God, Losing God, Becoming God
And...
“With enough of us connecting heart with heart, center with center, innovation with innovation, prayer with prayer, through the internet and the noosphere, we can have a major impact on a more gentle transition toward the next stage of evolution.”
— Futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard
Now let’s talk about the OCA movement pertaining to accessing the matured noosphere.
“I speak about universal evolution and teleological evolution, because I think the process of evolution reflects the wisdom of nature. I see the need for wisdom to become operative. We need to try to put all of these things together in what I call an evolutionary philosophy of our time.”
— Virologist Jonas Salk
And that idea is...
“If a critical mass of individuals chooses positive evolution, truth becomes clearer, and the experience of love, joy, peace, and unity extends globally."
— John Rainey, “Finding God, Losing God, Becoming God
So, I will come clean here. To create the OCA Movement, all I did was take spiritual wisdom that already existed in the matured Noosphere, organize it, and come up with an idea (i.e. the OCA Movement) that humanity has the choice to evolve spiritually—and this is how. That’s it.
That means the spiritual wisdom of Jesus, Buddha, Lao Tzu, Rumi, Plato, Einstein, Dalai Lama, Gandhi, Saint Augustine, Nietzsche, Tolstoy, da Vinci, and Mother Teresa were all just waiting there in the Noosphere saying, “Hey, someone come use us, we can help.” And I did.
And trust me, I could never have come up with this idea without this eternal wisdom from these spiritual masters. Without this spiritual wisdom, I would probably still be trying to evolve spiritually on my own, doing my spiritual practices only to return to my ego-based and fear-based Earthly existence.
Trust me. I need help from a spiritually evolving collective consciousness working on my behalf—and on humanity’s behalf. I just didn’t know that yet, until I accessed the spiritual wisdom of the Noosphere.
So now, let’s answer the question at hand: why now? Well, the answer is the Noosphere is now mature, as humanity knows our species no longer must physically evolve by natural selection but can spiritually evolve by choice.
So, let’s just make that choice now. Why wait any longer? We know we can do it. And will. And our will, will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven, as the
Noosphere becomes an all-knowing God consciousness, as we all evolve to Christ consciousness—Christ’s Second Coming, so to speak.
And doesn’t that sound nice, for heaven’s sake? I surely think so, from my humble opinion.
