Components of truth mixed with a bounty booga-booga bullshit.
Here is the real message:
Don't look at the global communists fucking you up the ass. Go inside yourself and discover your "inner world". Gaze your naval - not your power structure!
Some call it meditation - neurologists know it's just escapism.
Telepathy may solve problems of mind development and establishing a global mind instead of a global bank. However, this development is not supported financially by banks and governments as well as in science and education. So, a few people only continue to work on awakening and development of psy-abilities. The rest of humanity goes to be brain-drained by propaganda, SMI, entertainment. Number of dummies grows dramatically last years. Humanity is devolving to dumb cattle so quick. It sucks.
I can't believe this is from 1983; He was surely thinking ahead, way ahead and I think those figures relating to the new 'Mind' era is still quite small, we could say television, the media and the government are doing a hell of a job fabricating more and more stupid people.
by the way...i'm actually in the middle of creating a blog/portal/social-network/new-media website to focus on these ideas and the people behind them. the website is currently at anima.cannon.cc but will soon have a unique .com url. anyway...i won't be up and running for a week or two, but i'd love the chance to feature an interview with you for the site's grand opening, so to speak. nothing fancy...i'll just send 10 or so questions that you can reply to on your own time. sound good to you?
is this peter russell's account? if so, just wanted to say i came across your website earlier today and read through almost all of it. i hadn't heard of you prior. your ideas resonate with me. i enjoy your skeptical scientific mindset...mixed with the desire to understand the more subtle ineffable qualities of reality. you're a much needed voice out there. keep up the excellent work!
@trurocker03 Yup. I was naive in my earlier predictions. But the trend is definitely there and accelerating, even if not as rapid as I envisioned thrity years ago
Seems like the mind curve isn't going to overcome the whole of society soon... I have a deep sense of hopelessness for our species, most of society is still very caught up in the objective illusion of our egos and our individual selfs. Hopefully, before I die a new revolution of consciousness expansion will overcome us, and we will learn to live as one.
This is an important perspective in answer to Randian Objectivism (beyond the obvious, more mundane reasons why Obj would never work in society). This is a good talk to refer back to in light of more recent scientific research on consciousness (and there is a great deal of it out there now). Look up Scott Barry Kaufman's work. Sam Harris' foundation on scientific basis for morality. So forth.
that steep "mind" curve hasn't yet overtaken the "information" curve (apparently?). Could that be that it was an inaccurate guess? Or is that curve being suppressed?
@prussell117 The age of mind? That's ridiculous. By saying this, am I cancer to you? I don't see how human mind can be united. I see only diversity. You can't imagine how differently one person's mind works from others do from the rest of the world. It's like cultural differences, if mind is a cultural construct. You can see culture as a united mind, but it doesn't have a purpose or direction in its evolving. It has a history, so it's unique and different in nature.
We cannot procced until humanity as a whole, reaches a basic level of industri or information. I think the changes are well on their way, just look at how Mind manifests itself inn media and inn the young of today. It would be more appropriate to call this next phase The Simulation. We are learning to timecompress information, and live multiple lifetimes in a single form of body.
Reminds me of what Eckhart Tolle has called the flowering of human consciousness. Now the question is will humankind destroy itself or will consciousness save the day. For an interesting read on this theme try Barry Long's A prayer for life.

I first saw this ca. 1996 and it blew my mind. It is unfortunate that it hasn't come true as predicted, but there is still a lot of truth here.

Sucks his hopes are not true. Mind definitely hasn't taken over the information or industry age... and It's already 2011.

@balancebeautyblog Yes, an inacurate forecast on my part. I was over-hopeful back then (1980s). But still the trend has been maintained
