Most people don't shift much over a lifetime, it's true.<br /><br />MarcusMarcus T.

Good to see someone challenge the mai...Hi Deborah,<br /><br />Good to see someone challenge the main idea of a post. It isn't necessary to agree with what I say to post here. And perhaps you are right.<br /><br />However as a person who has spent a couple of decades working with these deeper connections, it is my perception that they do exist. The interconnections occur at both personal and collective levels. One of the main reasons they are not considered possible in mainstream science is because they challenge the presuppositions of the western world's enlightenment worldview. While that insists (for the most part) on a universe that is "mechanical", there are dimensions of reality that exist beyond the physical, and these do not operate according to the same principles as the observable cosmos. The key is that these dimensions, or levels of reality, are not separate, but are intimately intertwined. A deeper understanding of the world will occur, I believe, when the limitations of contemporary science and physics finally accepted by a significant number of mainstream scientists, academics and educators (probably in that order). Again, I can't prove any of this, and I understand fully why many people don't accept it. <br /><br />There's an interesting anecdote in Stan Grof's "When the Extraordinary Happens", where he has a visionary experience and "sees" that the consciousness of micro-organisms is embedded in fossil fuels, and that that consciousness is as toxic as the physical compounds themselves, because it has not been permitted to properly reintegrate into the biosphere. In a sense, biofuels carry the consciousness of rebellion, for want of a better metaphor.<br /><br />One thing is for sure, certain events resonate deeply with the human individual or collective psyche. They mean something more than the event as a discrete, singular happening. Such occurrences include (to choose from countless examples) Obama's inauguration (love him or hate him), the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, and even (as I have argued elsewhere) the death of Michael Jackson. Maybe I'll write a bit more about this soon.<br /><br />MarcusMarcus T.

Who knows? It might be the tipping point. Probably not yet. Eventually that will come, but I don't see that our awareness of what we are doing to the planet is inextricably linked to physic or spiritual awareness. I don't say that they are unrelated, but one is not dependent on the other. <br />Interesting post.

Thanks to Nancy for the reference from her blog. <br /><br />I am assuming by "The Coal City", Natalie, you mean Newcastle, which is actually where I spent ten years! My undergraduate years at uni were spent there, and if you have read my book Sage of Synchronicity, my adventures as a vacuum cleaner salesman (which I wrote about), also occurred there! My younger years though, were spent in a rather tiny town called Taree, a couple of hours north of there.Marcus T.
