Is humanity moving towards a mass shift of consciousness? How is our collective ego harming the planet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Eckhart Tolle, humanity has reached a critical point. We’ve grown so consumed with our collective ego that we can’t see anything past it. We are trapped in the endless cycle of wanting, fueling consumerism, and destroying the planet<\/a>. In his book A New Earth, <\/em>Tolle argues that now is the time for consciousness evolution\u2014mass change is necessary today for the survival of humankind and the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s why we must act now or else it will be too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Consciousness Evolution<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to Eckhart Tolle, humanity’s current state of consciousness has reached a threshold. This is because our destructive ability (caused by our ego) is intensifying at an unsustainable rate due to advances in technology. If we\u2019re unable to evolve out of the mindless ego-driven state of consciousness that causes this destruction, we\u2019ll end up killing our species and destroying the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tolle explains that when we connect with our inner self<\/a> and live in a state of mindfulness<\/a>, we will live in a state of non-attachment, nonjudgment, and nonresistance, which will allow us to break free from the ego\u2019s control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we no longer form attachments<\/em> to material, thought, and emotional elements, we\u2019ll no longer generate greed, consumerism, and pollution caused by the endless cycle of wanting<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we no longer judge<\/em> things as \u201cright and wrong\u201d or \u201cgood and bad,\u201d we\u2019ll no longer have unrealistic expectations<\/a> that cause disappointment, anger, resentment, and other forms of suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consequently, we\u2019ll cease resisting<\/em> what simply is<\/em> and cannot be changed. Tolle notes that nothing in the world is inherently good or bad, it\u2019s only our judgments of them that make them so. We\u2019ll no longer feel the stress, greed, envy, and negativity supplied by the ego because we no longer crave external validation<\/a>. We will only feel peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the bulk of humanity dedicates itself to achieving this state of mindfulness<\/a>, Tolle asserts that the violence and destruction caused by the collective human ego will cease.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, Tolle explains that a human evolution<\/a> to this evolved state of consciousness is possible and has been underway for thousands of years. He argues that the first sparks of the consciousness evolution were the ancient spiritual teachers like Buddha<\/a>, Jesus, and Lao Tzu<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These teachers and their respective religions all preached the same two-fold fundamental truth that is the basis of Tolle\u2019s argument: (<\/strong>1) The normal state of the human mind is inherently dysfunctional, <\/em><\/strong>and<\/strong> (2) a radical transformation of human consciousness<\/a> to overcome this dysfunction is possible and necessary, and it\u2019s the purpose of human life.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hinduism, Christianity, and Buddhism refer to inherent human dysfunction, respectively, as maya, original sin, <\/em>and dukkha. <\/em>They all view the transformation of consciousness as the solution to this innate dysfunction, and they refer to it, respectively, as enlightenment, salvation, <\/em>and the end of suffering.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The teachers who founded these religions embodied the evolved state of consciousness that the rest of humanity needs to achieve, and they encouraged others to evolve through their teachings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buddhism, Christianity, and Hinduism: Dualistic Religions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tolle explains that the spiritual leaders who sparked the consciousness evolution all preached that humans are dysfunctional and must reach an enlightened state\u2014this two-fold truth is referred to as religious dualism<\/em><\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Religious Dualism is the belief that there are essentially two contrasting components of life\u2014humanity and something \u201cdivine,\u201d often humanity and God. Ultimately, dualistic religions all assert that something is inherently wrong with humanity and that there is some higher level of being we\u2019re meant to attain. Until we reach this higher level, whether it\u2019s becoming enlightened<\/a> (Hinduism), or reaching heaven (Christianity), we will finally be happy and escape our suffering. Ultimately, dualistic religions are founded on the basis of good versus evil<\/a>. The purpose of human life is to battle our evil instincts to reach the ultimate \u201cgood.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar to religious dualism is philosophical dualism<\/a>, which asserts that human consciousness, or the spirit, is separate from our physical body. In other words, our consciousness will continue on once our body has died. Tolle\u2019s philosophy would be considered dualistic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other side is monism, which asserts that consciousness is simply the result of evolution and our highly developed brains. While dualism and monism are opposing beliefs, there are multiple branches of each philosophy that interpret the dualistic or monistic approach differently, some even overlapping certain beliefs with the opposing philosophy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
