Is Humanity Experiencing a Consciousness Revolution?

[Sledge]

I think it might have something to do with the transperambulation of pseudo-cosmic antimatter. It's a tradition, or an old charter, or something.

You may know what you were hoping to communicate but I've read the above several times and it communicates absolutely nothing to me - do you think you could try again?

Sorry Darat, using words to describe the reality of nothing or consciousness requires some finesse. I'll have another go, it is a bit like trying to describe to form the space in which it exists. To the mind it is as if there are two realities totally seperate yet in perfect harmony, that is the external physical sensory universe and the sensational energetic inner reality.

Now concerning the OP if consciousness, which is absolutely still and intelligent at the same time, were to increase the intelligent perception of "everyday awareness" so that it started to perceive stillness then this would mean the individual 'I' is moving closer to the speed of consciousness. Previously it was moving at the speed of emotion and thought which is relatively dawdling along.
The focus has come off the identification with form and is perceiving the overlooked energetic reality in which it operates. In this energetic reality the deeper levels move at extraordinary speed which is perceived as stillness and out of it comes the perceiver.
To perceive stillness requires great speed of perception. The purpose of this is for Life to realise itself. The vehicle of self-conscious life is the human body. I as the perceiver in it am given the ability to reflect consciously on this inner reality and know that I am alive firstly, and finally to realise the life or power in the body as what I am. For this the perception must be absolutely still and unwavering and focused on the energetic reality in the body.

Thought driven by rationality is pushing the perception further into the perceived physical universe. But actually it is in the energetic universe that we live and have our being and the physical is an appearance at the very extremity of that in the senses.

It's almost like there are... words of some kind!

The Revolution in question is a transfer of focus, by the masses from the external objective reality onto the inner reality within the body. If this happens it will not be under the volition of the individual person, it will just happen and the individual "I" will either go crazy or find a new home in realising consciousness.

Consciousness is moving at a fast speed, lets say the speed of light. It is the background of the inner reality moving so fast as to be absolutely still.

If this consciousness were to "move in" on the slower speed of thought and emotion where "I" live, that "I" is going to have the heat applied to it. "I" will either intelligently assess the situation and die to it's current position and realise the "new" or if the self knowledge is not great enough it will go even more crazy than it already is.

This new consciousness reality is not unfamiliar, it is just that we take "now" for granted. We are too complicated to recognise it as the reality of Life.

Pure unadulterated psychobabble.Worthy of a stundie?

Psychobabble part 2 . The speed of emotion,sounds like a good title for a Pink Floyd album.

And we have to consider the dyadic nature of the mind/body interface.The perception of our outward consciousness is interrelated with the macro cosmos.The paradigm shift is interfaced with the transubstantial essence and must be realised through becoming one with the somatic being. New Age psychobabble is easy,anyone can do it!

Beeksc1,can you give me the name of the publishers of that book so I can write a load of bollocks and send it to them. I want to cash in too.

Conciousness is evolving. Like all evolution it will be gradual.

@Lightningstrike:
How about you use nice simple English to describe what you're trying to convey instead of completely meaningless big words?

The concept is meaningless so the words have to be meaningless too.Big words impress new agers no end though,they can't get enough of them.I recently found a woo-influenced neighbour of mine reading a book entitled "Heal Yourself With Quantum Biology". That was full of big words too.

I just finished reading a text titled The Consciousness Revolution authored by Ervin Laszlo, Stanislav Grof, and Peter Russell. The book, ‘The Consciousness Revolution’ is an essential guide to how our map of reality is changing in the midst of the global transformation going on in all parts of the world and in every sphere of life, in us and around us.

I confess certain admiration for the book's authors. They seem to compete succesfully with makers of LSD and peyote, yet break no laws in the process.

That must be a new meaning for the word essential.

...consciousness, which is absolutely still and intelligent at the same time, were to increase the intelligent perception of "everyday awareness" so that it started to perceive stillness then this would mean the individual 'I' is moving closer to the speed of consciousness...

Okay, I think I've got it. Consciousness is moving so fast, it appears to be still. If consciousness were to recognize this stillness, the individual who is host to said consciousness would be moving at a speed closer to the immense speed of consciousness. Right?

To perceive stillness requires great speed of perception.

...uh... but I thought we just determined consciousness is moving at great speeds? Surely the speed of light qualifies as "great speed," no? Or maybe consciousness just has poor perception?

The purpose of this is for Life to realise itself.

...and when it has? What happens when "Life" becomes self-aware? Happy Land?

Thought driven by rationality is pushing the perception further into the perceived physical universe. But actually it is in the energetic universe that we live...

Well it certainly looks like the New Agers dodged a bullet with this one. Rational thought is pushing us into the physical universe, but since we don't even live there -- no harm no foul, right? The only things that can lead us to this energetic reality where consciousness resides are super-fast perception and/or irrational thought. So either way, you're headed to the right spot -- but wait! You're AT that spot right now anyway! Nice work!

New Age BS makes my head hurt. No wonder people buy into this stuff. If you think about this crap, your head hurts -- so some people stop thinking and just listen. If you listen without thinking, I guess it all makes sense.

Perhaps to illuminate the nature of the impending consciousness revolution, it would help to examine a post-revolution scenario.

Currently, for instance, I eat a daily meal at approximately noon. Sometimes for this meal I travel a short distance (by foot, bicycle, or motor vehicle depending on the weather) to a market to purchase a sandwich known locally as an "Italian hoagie." The sandwich is made of sliced meats, cheese, and various vegetables on an elongated roll. The market is an establishment designed to facilitate comparable purchases of many different edible substances at one centralized location. The purchase is accomplished by my forfeiting a portion of the balance of funds in a bank account, which I accumulate by way of compensation from working at a job. A job is when I perform a task that someone else wants performed, but does not want to do themselves, in exchange for the aforementioned financial compensation.

Following the hypothesized consciousness revolution, which elements of the above description will change, and in what ways?

To me, a Consciousness Revolution is a significant shift in consciousness, similar to that of a paradigm shift. A Consciousness Revolution is a time in history where humanity actualizes our essence. A Consciousness Revolution is a point in time where humanity awakens globally.

Is humanity currently experiencing a consciousness revolution?

I don't even know what all this consciousness shifting stuff means. It's all just so many empty words -- do you mean perception?

All that typing -- so little meaning.

I'm not trying to be mean but is there someway you can make all this abstractness concrete?

The sandwich shop will be owned by The People.

I hear its amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hari Kiri Rock.

To the people who are being indifferent, we appreciate your interest in the topic.

To the people who are being sarcastic, provincial, and negative, I do not have time to address your pessimistic outlook, regarding your experience here on Earth.

To the people who are being critical, open-mined, and positive, I thank you for your input. As other in-tune posters have noted, consciousness is always evolving.

Anyone familiar with Terence McKenna and his Novelty Theory and Time Wave Zero Point? I am not saying I am entirely in support of it; but, who is versed with this idea?

Is there a critical point in history when consciousness and information sharing accelerates much more quickly than in the past?

 

[MikeSun5]

Is there a critical point in history when consciousness and information sharing accelerates much more quickly than in the past?

I would say no. Because the theory of "consciousness" as you present it has been around for centuries and never really evolved. What you think now was common a thousand years ago and further.

So, no. In the past few millenia, consciousness has never accelerated, but information sharing has. Most definitely. Example: the internet.
