- Introduction
The earth has always been conscious though, initially, on a very
slow scale.
First we had chemical and slow geologic changes punctuated by reaction to
extraterrestrial events.
Eventually biological activity emerged and biological systems of
interaction developed. Species interacted with each other and with their
physical environment.
The evolution of humans has accelerated the scale of consciousnes as
global communication speeds up.
Weather has been a global communication system, winds carrying
information around the world. Birds and fish also carry information.
Books and sailing ships carried more information faster. But, then came money,
the telephone, radio, movies, television and now the internet and
strands of glass fibers encircling the globe. A manifold increase in information pathways
and transcription. The earth is becoming aware of itself.
Is this the birth epoch for the earth?
