POPSThe Quickening The Mayans spoke a lot of "the quickening" of time and we are in the first half of the 21th century now. Some say the "change" will occur in 2012. Are we headed for some sort of noosphere? Exciting stuff, eh? .:D Peter Russell shows that humanity has reached a crossroads in its evolutionary path. Computers, satellites, fiber optics, video recorders and other technology, are the catalysts linking our planet into one, worldwide community - a "global brain". This technology, combined with a the rapidly growing human potential movement, is helping to create a collective consciousness that is humanity's only hope of saving it from itself. However, Russell warns if we continue on our current path of greed and destruction, humanity will serve only as a planetary cancer.
