The Global Brain - Peter Russell

Peter Russell's award-winning video, based on a live audio-visual presentation in 1983. He explores the idea that the Earth is an integrated, self-regulating living organism and asks what function humanity might have for this planetary being. It suggests that we stand on the threshold of a major leap in evolution, as significant as the emergence of life itself, and the essence of this leap is inner spiritual evolution. Moreover, Peter Russell maintains that it is only through such a shift in consciousness that we will be able to manage successfully the global crisis now facing us.

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?

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

[prussell117]

@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

[balancebeautyblog]

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]

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

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.

[Aion8Winter]

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.

@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.

Welcome to the state of abundance which is the natural norm.

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.

Hi Peter, the audio quality is horrible on this video. I found this fascinating. Its possible to send me the audio version or something?

Thank you and great work.
