Evolutionary step of humankind

{11/04/2007 - Sunday} In this world of my God, as is commonly said here, much effort has been made for the development of consciousness in the human being. Millions of voices calling for justice, social peace, assistance to less developed peoples, harmony among Nations and now the urgent and pressing need to protect natural resources before everything becomes a planetary-wide catastrophe.

How many civilizations on Earth have felt this emergency? How many levels of evolution has humankind achieved since the first primate came to be? What leaps in consciousness has it been able to take? What perception of reality has it reached and what level must it reach now to hold back the disaster that approaches?

This is not the futurology of apocalypse. I am talking of the inner calamity that each one feels inside each time their senses capture some extreme discord still produced by the human being. Of this inner shock of sadness, shame, embarrassment, pity, of which we seek to flee with each terrifying vision of what we are capable of doing to other human beings, to the planet. I am talking of hunger, waste, misery, disorder, assassinations, wars, fratricide, robbery, hate, and all the ailments that we are still capable of producing around us.

These millions of voices that cry out, what is their level of consciousness? Some cry because they suffer the consequences of violence. Others ask for those who suffer and because they cannot stand to see their neighbor be harmed. Others yet distanced or protected from local misery, want to know about the planet and its afflictions and unite in the effort of helping those in needs, whoever they may be. How many levels of consciousness are there? How many conscious actions do we need to achieve the evolutionary turn for humankind? {Chronicle 140}.
