Beyond the Noosphere

We need to go far beyond the grand unification of human consciousness, which Pierre Teilhard de Chardin defined as the “godhead” or the “omega point.” We need to go beyond the “noosphere,” beyond Teilhard's “thinking layer,” which he hoped would surround the planet (much like the Internet came to do) like a collective mind (not unlike Jung's collective human unconscious in the interior of our minds and souls.) We must evolve beyond the noosphere if we wish to reach Godhood.

We have been moving from matter to life to mind, and we will continue to move to supermind, but mind and body evolve together, and on to future species, and beyond to Godhood. Scientific materialism soon must include this religious perspective within its calculations, we must have an evolution-friendly vision of science and religion which celebrates both. Theological materialism and the Evolutionary Christian Church affirms this vision.
