a shift in consciousness, happening now because
it has to happen now. Because if it doesn’t happen now, mankind probably won’t survive. The dysfunction of the human mind and its condition is becoming more and more intolerable to the planet, and to humanity. People can’t live with themselves much longer. The planet cannot live with humans much longer! The dysfunction has become so magnified through technology."
