It is only today that we are truly learning to understand ourselves, for we are in the middle of the third and final transition phase, with all the diverse strands of evolution converging into a great megasynthesis at the end of time, much as Teilhard prophesied.
Jan Christiaan Smuts, the South African statesman, philosopher, and general, had a similar perspective, which he called ‘holism’;: “evolution is nothing but the gradual development and stratification of progressive series of wholes, stretching from inorganic beginnings to the highest levels of spiritual creation.”[16]
To understand the implications of the cosmic, evolutionary event that is currently happening to us all, we need to look briefly at how we human beings have reached where we are today.
