I am interested in the evolution of consciousness both at the individual and societal level. My belief is that earth/Gaia consciousness happens at an early age in individuals and happened in ancient historical times. When we as individuals and societies evoled to our/the next stage of determining our own source of power (individually at age 2 and again at in our early teens and societally between say 1000 BC and 500 AD - the Empire stage) rather than integrating and bringing forward our earth consciousness we separated from it and began to take power over the earth. I am eager to learn about how I and groups/societies generally can increase and integrate our consciousness of Gaia.
