  • Obsidian and Circulatory Networks: How Relationships Energize the Noosphere - The Story of the Noosphere
    Feb 7 2025

    This episode is from our YouTube series Story of the Noosphere.

    In this episode, we show how trading networks during the Neolithic stage of humanity advanced the emergence of the noosphere.

    With the advent of humans, a new form of animal interaction, called trade, was initiated on planet Earth. By examining the power of trade networks, we get a clear view of the way trade has led to greater intelligence and ever deepening harmony throughout humanity. In doing so, trade provides the means and energy for humanity to develop into a planetary community.

  • Steps Toward Planetary Intelligence: Humanity's Role in the Development of Earth's Mind - The Story of the Noosphere
    Feb 6 2025

    This episode is from our YouTube series Story of the Noosphere

    Throughout the three billion years of life on Earth, the mysterious power we call intelligence has deepened and spread. We are now in the midst of an irruption of this intelligence, an emergence so vast we refer to it as a global brain. It amounts to a transformation of the evolutionary process itself.

    Join us as we investigate cerebralization, a condition that gave rise to the noosphere, in the Neolithic stage of humanity.

  • Cave Art and Symbolic Imagination: Awakening of Planetary Consciousness - The Story of the Noosphere
    Feb 4 2025

    This episode is from our YouTube series Story of the Noosphere and explores how over the last million years, the human mind has been assembled through a series of awakenings. One of the most powerful awakenings is that of symbolic imagination. Coming to understand the evocation of symbolic imagination can help us navigate our present moment, where we are witnessing and participating in the awakening of planetary consciousness.

    In this episode, we celebrate the noosphere's invention of a new form of memory involving the symbolic imagination. Humanity participates in the creation of the noosphere through symbolic imagination an advanced form of consciousness richly developed in the neolithic era.

  • Synergy and Creative Relationships: The Power of Collaborative Consciousness - The Story of the Noosphere
    Feb 3 2025

    This episode is from our YouTube series Story of the Noosphere and explores the creative power of synergy that emerges through the union of two or more entities. The power and presence of synergy permeates every level of the universe. Here we explore examples of synergy at the quantum, celestial, and biological levels. Our hope is that a deeper and more detailed relationship to the universal power of synergy will help further connect and energize the synergistic relationships in your day-to-day life. Through our deepening relationships, the noosphere is arising.

  • Telling Time with Stonehenge: How Tools Enable Deep Engagement with the Present Moment - The Story of the Noosphere
    Jan 28 2025

    This episode is from our YouTube series Story of the Noosphere and explores the power of humanity’s ever-deepening relationship with time through the tools they create. In this episode, we examine the discovery of the year in the Neolithic stage of humanity.

    Knowing what time it is has been a source of knowledge and a cause for celebration throughout human history. In this video, we add to the lineage of humanity’s discovery of time. Through modern tools, we have discovered a new dimension of time – the movement of the universe throughout its development.

    Knowing the pattern of the universe’s development throughout time enables us to understand our time now. Our time now is a strong moment in the universe’s creativity. A major emergence is taking place, the appearance of a planetary mind, the noosphere.

    Our role and responsibility is to bring forth a healthy, positive, and functional noosphere in all its power. One that enables the full potential of each individual, humanity, and the Earth community as a whole.

  • Sex and Soil: Cultural Heredity within the Seed of Earth - The Story of the Noosphere
    Jan 23 2025

    This episode is from our YouTube series Story of the Noosphere and explores the wonder of seed and topsoil and cultural heredity, the process through which Neolithic humans formed an intimate relationship with life's principles and dynamics.

    Neolithic insights, modern science, and the emergence of the noosphere have allowed humans to have an intimate and detailed understanding of the developmental dynamics that animate the cosmos. Through our relationship with these dynamics, we can sense the direction of the universe's development and even glimpse humanity's purpose within the grand precession of the story of the universe. We can suspect that the dynamics of the Milky Way galaxy are cosmic soil and Earth (and Earth-like planets) are the seeds.

    Within this context, we can see that it is humanity's role and responsibility to ensure the health of our planet and positive development of its noosphere to best contribute to our galactic garden.

    As a word, "noosphere" is a loose synonym for three different meanings: the history and destiny of Homo sapiens; an emerging planetary nervous system, an emerging superorganism.

    As a word, "noosphere" is a loose synonym for three different meanings: the history and destiny of Homo sapiens; an emerging planetary nervous system, an emerging superorganism.

    Throughout this series, we explore the conditions that gave rise to the noosphere:

    1. Heredity
    2. Tools
    3. Self-Consciousness
    4. Communication
    5. Population
    6. Trade
    7. Cerebralization
    8. Convergence

    To come together and unite in a common interest or focus.

    Across five different stages of humanity:

    • Paleolithic (300,000 - 11,000 years ago)

    • Neolithic (11,000 years ago - 3,000 BCE)

    • Classical (3,000 BCE - 1400 CE)

    • Modern (1,400 CE - present)

    • Future

    This series of short films explores the ways humanity is building the nervous system of a superorganism, called the noosphere. As we deepen our understanding of this noosphere we begin to discover a collective sense of meaning and purpose that will help us address our global challenges.
