Shift in Human Consciousness

The human consciousness can evolve and shift in the future, impacting the concept of individual authenticity versus the ego. This battle between our true selves and the ego is similar to the concept of God and sin in Christianity. It occurs at an individual level but also influences the collective human consciousness, determining the direction of the world. Over time, human consciousness expands through individuals who question and challenge societal beliefs. It is not always a steady upward progression, as seen during World War II. However, as people embrace their authentic selves, their consciousness expands, leading to fewer unconscious decisions influenced by societal norms. By reaching a critical mass of fully conscious individuals, around 64,000, the world's problems can be solved. The expansion of human consciousness is the game of life, allowing us to experience duality and exercise free will. I wanted to talk a little bit about the human consciousness and how this can shift in the future and how it relates to the idea of the individual self-authentic vocation against the ego. You know, at an individual basis, we all have this battle, as I've mentioned in many of the talks before, it's the theme of everything, it's that we have this battle between our true authentic self and the ego. And it's the same thing as Christianity's concept of God and sin, it's exactly the same thing, just in lay terms, and it's the same in other faiths. It's all about, it's what it's all about. And that happens at an individual level, but because we are all connected ultimately, both physically and spiritually, emotionally, we're all interconnected and we're all one, the overall kind of human consciousness is what sort of determines where the world goes. And it expands over time, so if you think back a couple hundred years ago, it was okay to have blacks as slaves, but then enough people, in a very brave way, because that was the beliefs of the day, much like the beliefs of today is that you can try and get a lot of money and it's okay to degrade the environment. The beliefs back then were that black people were inferior, women were inferior, we burned people at the stake, all those things people did back then. And what they reflected is where the human consciousness was at that point in time, and so individuals come along and in their independence and in finding their authentic self, they question and challenge the human consciousness, expand it, live through their own lives. And that's what happens, the human consciousness expands, and it's not always a steady, linear upward slope. When World War II came along, everything dropped, we took a backward step as a race, but then we learned and regrouped, and I think when you look at all these seven billion people and they've all got this authentic self and this ego, and as they grow into their authentic self, their consciousness expands, their awareness of life and of their spirit and of who they truly are grows and grows, their consciousness expands. They make fewer and fewer unconscious decisions that are dictated by learned behaviours or the ego beliefs of the day, and they expand into their consciousness. So when you look at what we're doing now in terms of the environment, in terms of how we measure success in terms of gross domestic product, how much stuff we make, in terms of how we have nuclear weapons and we're capable of destroying ourselves, in terms of how we live relative lives of luxury in the West and have people starving in third world countries and not having the basic infrastructure to live proper lives, authentic lives, these are all problems that could be solved if we had the right level of overall human consciousness. It's that simple. If enough people sort of grow into who they are, become authentic, have the power within them, if enough people get to that state, these problems could all be solved. In fact, there's a book that's come out recently or a study that basically said to solve all the world's problems now, to get to that tipping point, that critical mass, needs around about 60, 64,000 fully conscious human beings, people who have made it. You know, you look at who would be a Nelson Mandela or a Mother Teresa, these are people who have grown into their authenticity. They've just become extraordinary human beings, not because they're built any different to any of us, but they've just grown into their authentic self. The ego is still there, but they are fully integrated, authentic people. So I think that's the game. If we're in this game of life, then the expansion of human consciousness is the game, and that's what makes it fun, because we've been given a duality, we've been given free will, we've been given an ego, which is our humanity, to experience all these wonderful things from the authentic self. We need to have an ego, there needs to be the other. And I think on an aggregate level, this is what it's about. It's about expanding the human consciousness.
