Russell, Bloom and Lazslo write about the emerging
global brain: consciousness emerging from a global network
of connected information. Their books are described below.
What is it all about?
The Challenge Ahead
If we are to stop abusing our world we need to let go of
our attachments. This does not, as people often suppose, mean
detachment, which implies complacency and not caring, and
for some, going without material well-being and comforts.
It is, quite simply, non-attachment. Material well-being and
comforts are valued for what they are; but they are not seen
as the sole or primary source of our inner well-being. In
a state of non-attachment we no longer believe that what we
have or do will provide the peace that we each seek. As a
result we are free to care more fully for other people, and
for all living beings.
Thus the most important fight of all at this crucial stage
in our evolution is not the fight against hunger, the fight
against inflation, the fight against pollution, or the fight
against corrupt governments. Each is very necessary and cannot
be relaxed. However, they will not be won until we have also
won the fight within ourselves: the struggle between our self-centered
mode of thinking and the inner knowing that there is more
to life than gratifying our egocentric needs.
The basic wisdom already exists. It is there in the spiritual
traditions of all cultures; it has been articulated by the
saints and wise people of all times; and it is there inside
every one of us. It is the truth we each know deep within.
The question is how do we tap this wisdom? Can we live it,
rather than just talk about it? Can it permeate our minds
and hearts enabling us to put this wisdom into practice?

Science and the Akashic Field : An Integral Theory of Everything
by Ervin Laszlo |
Mystics and sages have long maintained that there
exists an interconnecting cosmic field that conserves and conveys
information, the Akashic record. Recent discoveries in the new
field of vacuum physics now show that this Akashic field is
real, a subtle sea of fluctuating energies from which all things
arise. |

The global brain
Howard Bloom |
When did big-picture optimism become cool again?
While not blind to potential problems and glitches, Global
Brain: The Evolution of Mass Mind From the Big Bang to the 21st
Century confidently asserts that our networked culture
is not only inevitable but essential for our species' survival
and eventual migration into space. Author Howard Bloom, believed
by many to be R. Buckminster Fuller's intellectual heir, takes
the reader on a dizzying tour of the universe, from its original
subatomic particle network to the unimaginable data-processing
power of intergalactic communication. His writing is smart and
snappy, moving with equal poise through depictions of frenzied
bacteria passing along information packets in the form of DNA
and nomadic African tribespeople putting their heads together
to find water for the next year. |

The Global Brain awakens
by Peter Russell |
In The Global Brain Awakens Peter Russell
shows that humanity has reached a crossroads in its evolutionary
path. Computers, satellites, fiber optics, video recorders and
other technology, are the catalysts linking our planet into
one, worldwide community - a "global brain". This
technology, combined with a the rapidly growing human potential
movement, is helping to create a collective consciousness that
is humanity's only hope of saving it from itself. However, Russell
warns if we continue on our current path of greed and destruction,
humanity will serve only as a planetary cancer. |

From Science to God
Peter Russell
A Physicist's Journey Into Mystery of Consciousness |
From Science to God is the story of
Peter Russell’s lifelong exploration into the nature of
consciousness. Blending physics, psychology, and philosophy,
he leads us to a new worldview in which consciousness is as
fundamental to the cosmos as space, time, and matter. Integrating
a deep knowledge of science with his own experiences of meditation,
Russell arrives at a universe similar to that described by many
mystics -- one in which science and spirit no longer conflict.
The bridge between them, he shows, is light. From Science
to God invites us to cross that bridge to a radically different,
and ultimately healing, view of ourselves and the universe --
one in which God takes on new meaning, and spiritual practice
a deeper significance. |

The consciousness revolution
A Transatlantic Dialogue with Ervin Laszlo, Stan Grof and
Peter Russell.
|
The three authors consider the roles of art,
science, education, goals and values, world views, religion,
spirituality and, above all, consciousness - for the state of
our consciousness is the key issue underlying virtually all
others.
"An extraordinary discussion among three of the very finest
minds of our time, spirited in its exchange, compassionate in
its embrace, brilliant in its clarion call to awaken conscience
and consciousness" - Ken Wilber. |
