Description: The development of the human species throughout evolution will bring us to a higher level of existence.
“Albert Einstein (1879-1955) once said "We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive." I certainly agree. I would add that we should all hope that human beings, who, of all of the species that have ever existed on the Planet Earth, have evolved into a relatively high stage of intelligence and of conscience, would be intelligent enough to bring this evolution to a higher level of global morality.”

תאור: המוח מפריש חומר מיוחד במוח של אמא שגורם לה תענוג כשהבן שלה (דווקא שלה) מחייך. סימן שהטבע גרם להורים שיאהבו את ילדיהם. http://laitman.co.il/?p=36965
“כל אם שמחה עד אין קץ למראה חיוך על פני הילד שלה. כעת מצאו המדענים הסבר מדעי לשמחה זו. מסתבר, שהחיוך של הילד מפעיל את מרכז העונג במוח, בדיוק מה שקורה בעת שימוש באלכוהול או סמים. מדענים מטקסס הצליחו לראשונה לברר מדוע חיוכו של ילד מרגיע כל-כך את ההורים. בניסוי שנערך נתנו לנשים לצפות בתמונות של ילדיהן ושל ילדים אחרים. בחלק מהתמונות הילדים חייכו. בדיקת MRI ובדיקות דם הורו על כך שכאשר האם צופה בתמונה של הילד שלה מחייך, מופרש אל דמה הורמון הדופמין. לא נצפתה תגובה דומה לחיוך של ילדים אחרים. הפרשת הדופמין היא שגרמה להרגשת השמחה אצל האם. זהו הורמון שמופרש בעת הרגשת תענוג. הוא מופרש גם בעת שימוש באלכוהול או סמים.”

Dr. Jane Goodall
Field of reference: Philosophy, Biology, Ecology
Description: Jane Goodall describes her experience & feelings in Gombe coming closer to nature.
“I became totally absorbed into this forest existence. It was an unparalleled period when aloneness was a way of life; a perfect opportunity, it might seem, for meditating on the meaning of existence and my role in it all. But I was far too busy learning about the chimpanzees'lives to worry about the meaning of my own. I had gone to Gombe to accomplish a specific goal, not to pursue my early preoccupation with philosophy and religion. Nevertheless, those months at Gombe helped to shape the person I am today-I would have been insensitive indeed if the wonder and the endless fascination of my new world had not had a major impact on my thinking. All the time I was getting closer to animals and nature, and as a result, closer to myself and more and more in tune with the spiritual power that I felt all around. For those who have experienced the joy of being alone with nature there is really little need for me to say much more; for those who have not, no words of mine can even describe the powerful, almost mystical knowledge of beauty and eternity that come, suddenly, and all unexpected. The beauty was always there, but moments of true awareness were rare. They would come, unannounced; perhaps when I was watching the pale flush preceding dawn; or looking up through the rustling leaves of some giant forest tree into the greens and browns and the black shadows and the occasionally ensured bright fleck of blue sky; or when I stood, as darkness fell, with one hand on the still warm trunk of a tree and looked at the sparkling of an early moon on the never still, softly sighing water of Lake Tanganyika.”

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Field of reference: Philosophy, Biology
Description: Human evolution will develop to a higher consciousness.
"Teilhard views evolution as a process that leads to increasing complexity. From the cell to the thinking animal, a process of psychical concentration leads to greater consciousness.[3]The emergence of Homo sapiens marks the beginning of a new age, as the power acquired by consciousness to turn in upon itself raises humankind to a new sphere.[4] Borrowing Julian Huxley’s expression, Teilhard describes humankind as evolution becoming conscious of itself.[5]In Teilhard's conception of the evolution of the species, a collective identity begins to develop as trade and the transmission of ideas increases.[6] Knowledge accumulates and is transmitted in increasing levels of depth and complexity.[7] This leads to a further augmentation of consciousness and the emergence of a thinking layer that envelops the earth.[8] Teilhard calls the new membrane the “noosphere” (from the Greek “nous,” meaning mind), a term first coined by Vladimir Vernadsky. The noosphere is the collective consciousness of humanity, the networks of thought and emotion in which all are immersed.[9]The development of science and technology causes an expansion of the human sphere of influence, allowing a person to be simultaneously present in every corner of the world. Teilhard argues that humanity has thus become cosmopolitan, stretching a single organized membrane over the Earth.[10] Teilhard describes the process by which this happens as a “gigantic psychobiological operation, a sort of mega-synthesis, the “super-arrangement” to which all the thinking elements of the earth find themselves today individually and collectively subject.”[11] The rapid expansion of the noosphere requires a new domain of psychical expansion, which “is staring us in the face if we would only raise our heads to look at it.”[12]In Teilhard’s view, evolution will culminate in the Omega Point, a sort of supreme consciousness. Layers of consciousness will converge in Omega, fusing and consuming them in itself.[13] The concentration of a conscious universe will reassemble in itself all consciousnesses as well as all that we are conscious of.[14] Teilhard emphasizes that each individual facet of consciousness will remain conscious of itself at the end of the process.[15]"

Description: Description of Holistic Darwinism. Evolution is a process dependent on co-operative and synergistic outcomes of many factors.
"I believe that Holistic Darwinism can plausibly be viewed as a candidate for a post-neo-Darwinian synthesis. It involves a paradigm that refocuses evolutionary theory on the "vessels" (to borrow a metaphor from our rowing examples) and their functional properties as the vanguard of evolutionary change. In fact, that is where natural selection as a causal dynamic actually occurs; to use an older turn of phrase, it is the vessels that are "tested" in the environment. Holistic Darwinism shifts our focus from the anthropomorphic purposes of selfish genes in theoretical isolation to the evolved, emergent purposiveness of the living systems as wholes, and to the functional interactions and relationships (adaptations in specific environments) that result in differential survival and reproduction."
