In the world of forms and phenomena, change is the only constant. In life, change proceeds in the direction of evolution--how more can be accomplished with less energy expenditure. Human evolution has moved through several epochs over the past several million years, from the hunter-gatherer stage to the Agricultural Age, on to the Industrial Age and now, the Information Age. Each age has had its own worldview--it's own paradigm--which defines the expectations and limitations of the people living in the period. I believe that the transition from the Industrial Age to the Information Age has again resulted in a transformation of our worldview. We are beginning to see, thanks to information technology, a paradigm shift from a material worldview to a consciousness-based worldview. We are beginning to understand that what exists at the essential core of matter is information and energy. I hope and believe that the Information Age is going to be the stepping-off point for the Age of Consciousness. What is conciousness, if not information and energy that has become alive with self-referral? In other words, consciousness is information that responds to feedback, which is also information. Through this self-referral loop, consciousness influences its own expression in more abstract and unpredictable ways, and in this process, consciousness becomes intelligence.
-Deepak Chopra, introduction to The Wisdom of Healing, by David Simon, M.D.


Simply hoping this helps the "consciousness-based worldview." May our sharing of awareness envoking ideas be useful, helpful and fun. And so it is. Amen. Awomen. Ashé!

Love and light being, Teo

Great post
*******************

Being in touch with your needs is the most powerful way to be in touch with where your inner intelligence is heading at any given moment. This attentiveness makes a conscious person, someone who is evolving along lines no one else will exactly duplicate, not even the greatest of masters.


Our pure awareness is already whole, already healed. If we feel divided inside, the solution is to bring ourselves back to wholeness. Consciousness is its own healer.

Thank you Teo.

Deepak Chopra always inspires me.

I do hope that technology is not going to take over and control our lives. May we use it as a positive tool and not become robotic beings, totally dependent upon it.

Thank you for posting Teo.

I do hope that humans will be intelligent beings and use all the technology for an advantage. Let us not get carried away.
