Angelic Human Race

The Omega Point

One person who believed our destiny was indeed a collective spiritual awakening, was the French priest and paleontologist, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. Exploring the evolutionary trends towards greater complexity, connectivity, and consciousness, he argued that humanity was moving towards an Omega Point—the final end and goal of evolution.

He believed that the universe had been through several major stages of evolution, starting with what he called "cosmogenesis,” the birth of the "cosmosphere"; the Universe. Next was geogenesis, the birth of the Earth (the geosphere). Following that, "biogenesis", the birth of life (the biosphere). With human beings, there came "noogenesis" and the "noosphere", the sphere of thought. He predicted that the final stage, the one that led to the Omega Point, would be "Christogenesis". This would be the birth of Christ consciousness, not in an individual, but in the collective—the spiritual birth of humanity as a whole.

Teilhard de Chardin believed this Omega Point would happen thousands of years in the future. Like many others, he did not take into account the implications of ever-accelerating change. In his later years, he commented on the impact of radio and television in bringing humanity together. Technologies like these, he said, were bringing the Omega Point much closer. Just before he died, the first computers were being developed. Perceiving the potential of this new technology, he predicted that they too would bring the Omega Point even closer. If he had lived to see the emergence of the Internet, he would probably have realized that the Omega Point could come very soon indeed.

People should avoid using Wi-Fi

People should avoid using Wi-Fi wherever possible because of the risks it may pose to health, the German government has said.

Its surprise ruling – the most damning made by any government on the fast-growing technology – will shake the industry and British ministers, and vindicates the questions that The Independent on Sunday has been raising over the past four months.

And Germany's official radiation protection body also advises its citizens to use landlines instead of mobile phones, and warns of "electrosmog" from a wide range of other everyday products, from baby monitors to electric blankets.

The German government's ruling – which contrasts sharply with the unquestioning promotion of the technology by British officials – was made in response to a series of questions by Green members of the Bundestag, Germany's parliament.

The Environment Ministry recommended that people should keep their exposure to radiation from Wi-Fi "as low as possible" by choosing "conventional wired connections". It added that it is "actively informing people about possibilities for reducing personal exposure".

Its actions will provide vital support for Sir William Stewart, Britain's official health protection watchdog, who has produced two reports calling for caution in using mobile phones and who has also called for a review of the use of Wi-Fi in schools. His warnings have so far been ignored by ministers and even played down by the Health Protection Agency, which he chairs.

By contrast the agency's German equivalent – the Federal Office for Radiation Protection – is leading the calls for caution.

Florian Emrich, for the office, says Wi-Fi should be avoided "because people receive exposures from many sources and because it is a new technology and all the research into its health effects has not yet been carried out".

La légende du cimetière des éléphants...

la légende du cimetière des éléphants...(extrait) Kapuschinski tient cette histoire du Dr. Patel, médecin à Kampala où l'auteur est tombé victime du paludisme. En cours de convalescence, le docteur lui a un jour raconté qu'à leur arrivée sur le continent, les portugais s'étonnaient de ne pas trouver le précieux ivoire partout chez les habitants. S'ils avaient du mal à chasser l'éléphant, ils pourraient au moins prendre l'ivoire sur leurs cadavres? Or la réponse qu'ils reçurent les laissèrent incrédules : « il n'y a pas d'éléphants morts, les cimetières d'éléphants n'existent pas. » Les africains ont toujours eu une relation sacrée avec l'éléphant. C'est pourquoi ils ont longtemps caché au blanc le mystère entourant la mort du noble pachyderme. Il s'avert que l'éléphant, qui ne se connaît pas d'ennemi dans le monde animal, ne peut mourir que de mort naturelle, les africains sachant le chasser mais le faisant peu. Cela survient généralement au crépuscule alors qu'il va s'abreuver. Naturellement, l'éléphant déploie sa trompe au bord de l'eau pour boire. Mais lorsqu'il devient vieux, il ne parvient plus à souleversa trompe et doit s'avancer dans l'eau pour assouvir sa soif. Massif, il s'embourbe généralement et succombe tout bêtement à la succion « pour disparaître à tout jamais dans les flots.» Il y aurait donc, selon le Dr. Patel, des cimetières d'éléphants antédiluviens au fond des lacs africains.
