Anyone ever read Danah Zohar? I read her Quantum Mind years ago. Can hardly remember any of it now, but I think she based her work on Penrose's Quantum Mind theory - all matter being latent with with potential self-consciousness, and it's 'just' a case of subatomic particles agreeing to dance together which catalyses that latent potential into effect... Maybe someone else could tell me what I'm talking about!? Cos I can't remember!

Just did a YouTube on her out of interest. She sounds just like Krisnamurti now.

As far as humanity's relationship to Gaia is concerned. I also do not see how we can divide ourselves from what created us. But that's the legacy of Cartesian Dualism for you. I believe The Earth generated us as a part of It's own evolution into consciousness, we are the individual manifestations It's dawning intelligence. Baby touching fingers to toes.
