New wave of consciouness

So I've been getting very caught up in the new wave attempts at creating a global consciousness and i found this to be very interesting.

As Student of the science it is in my nature to be skeptical however here my personal biases and beliefs appear to have a large affect, so im curious to see how other people view this

applauding your tendency to remain skeptical, I think we should remain so until our DNA readily elevates our consciousness to a supposed higher 'level'. Though I did not divulge into the theories of David Wilcock and his colleagues, nor did I watch the 'Event Horizion' film, it is quite evident that the article itself is lacking a strong backbone to support its claims, and personally I fail to see how the premises entail the conclusion. Starting off by listing many inter-galatic and inter-planatery facts, the article itself did not do a convincing job to connect these facts with the overall message. Introducing Serda's theory about the human body's electromagnatic field and stating that a 'new energy' will cause a shift in consciousness is not enough to connect an assortment of empricial evidence into a theory explaining the possible elevation of consciousness.

This article makes me question what exactly IS an 'elevation' of consciousness'? From ancient Greece to the birth of introspection, have we actually achieved any insights as to what a 'higher consciousness' is? Talking like this makes me think of Hegel. As far as I am concerned, there is no amount of subjective struggle, psychedelics or mysticism to free consciousness from its sensous prision, as the mind only free to imagine while the hands limited to create (and destroy).

I agree with you comments about the article, i was reviewing it further and it fails to provides many sources and little actual evidence. I came stumble upon this article through a few mediums I've been following. I just found it interesting to note this especially from an anthropological perspective it appears that in the western world there is a movement forming which it seems to me to be an attempt at creating a western spirituality. If you look at various cultures around the world they all have traditions and rituals involving attempts to create a higher conscious being. and i think that in the wake of a declining society we as a people are looking for anything to grasp onto to provide some glimmer of a better life.

And i agree who is really to say what a higher consciousness really, its not like we can google budda's description of his/hers alter perception of the world after attaining enlightenment. I do however feel its important to not dismiss an idea because of its radical nature. and if you want my opinion we haven't gone any farther than the greeks or ancient romans. in fact we may have even fallen behind them in terms of our mental status as a people in the pursuit of money often we disregard the genius for the profitable.

Did any of you attempt to join in on the global meditation, that took place two days ago
