Brilliant lecture! Thank you for posting this. Teilhard de Chardin is one of the most important minds of the last 150 years. This is a selfless work, since most people can't really grasp this stuff. It requires a lot of study and preparation. However, this is real. This is the top stuff. Keep digging!

Thank you for this amazing video and a further insight into Teilhard de Chardin, who was clearly a man ahead of his time.

Can someone please tell me what she is saying exactly

Global Consciousness is what I consider a Social Consciousness, which is best represented by the Monolith in 2001a Space Odyssey. I believe the Omni point to be November 5 or 6, when politics creates the natural expectations of change. I identify this change as a Universal Truth when all mankind recognizes an order in their own lives.

the fact that Popes, and brilliant theologians-so not people who were overwhelmed by the 'complexity' of Teilhard's thinking - said his thinking was convoluted, contradictory and could lead to serious misunderstandings, says it all. As I listen to this woman, I hear that same double-speak, confused thinking, and an unwillingness to humbly accept the orthodox teachings of the Catholic Church's magisterium. Please, go elsewhere if you desire to draw close to Truth-to Christ.

“The Christ continues to bicomplexify into evolution….. “ what crap is this?

Not all are believers in Christ. Not everyone belongs to Him. "And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." (Revelation 20:15) So we can't all be evolving towards unity... We can only evolve towards unity with fellow believers. "If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you." (John 15:19)

Darwinian evolution is pseudoscience and Teilhard based his ideas on that pseudoscience. Back to square one I'm afraid lol.
