The Idea Is That Of The Earth Not Only Becoming Covered With Myriad Grains Of Thought, But Becoming Enclosed In A Single Thinking Envelope So As To Form, Functionally, No More Than A Single Vast Grain Of Thought On The Sidereal Scale, The Plurality Of Individual Reflections Grouping Themselves Together And Reinforcing One Another In The Act Of A Single Unanimous Reflection...a New Domain Of Psychical Expansion- That Is What We Lack.

More From Pierre Teilhard De Chardin

Our Duty, As Men And Women, Is To Proceed As If Limits To Our Ability Did Not Exist. We Are Collaborators In Creation.

Love Is The Most Universal, The Most Tremendous And The Most Mysterious Of The Cosmic Forces.

The Future Belongs To Those Who Give The Next Generation Reason For Hope.

We Only Have To Look Around Us To See How Complexity And Psychic 'temperature' Are Still Rising: And Rising No Longer On The Scale Of The Individual But Now On That Of The Planet. This Indication Is So Familiar To Us That We Cannot But Recognize The Objective, Experiential, Reality Of A Transformation Of The Planet 'as A Whole.'

And Now, As A Germination Of Planetary Dimensions, Comes The Thinking Layer Which Over Its Full Extent Develops And Intertwines Its Fibres, Not To Confuse And Neutralise Them But To Reinforce Them In The Living Unity Of A Single Tissue.

Humanity Has Been Sleeping-and Still Sleeps-lulled Within The Narrowly Confining Joys Of Its Little Closed Loves. In The Depths Of The Human Multitude There Slumbers An Immense Spiritual Power Which Will Manifest Itself Only When We Have Learnt How To Break Through The Dividing Walls Of Our Egoism And Raise Ourselves Up To An Entirely New Perspective, So That Habitually And In A Practical Fashion We Fix Our Gaze On The Universal Realities.

The Outcome Of The World, The Gates Of The Future, The Entry Into The Super-human - These Are Not Thrown Open To A Few Of The Privileged Nor To One Chosen People To The Exclusion Of All Others. They Will Open Only To An Advance Of All Together, In A Direction In Which All Together Can Join And Find Completion In A Spiritual Renovation Of The Earth.

We See Not Only Thought As Participating In Evolution As An Anomaly Or As An Epiphenomenon; But Evolution As So Reducible To And Identifiable With A Progress Towards Thought That The Movement Of Our Souls Expresses And Measures The Very Stages Of Progress Of Evolution Itself. Man Discovers That He Is Nothing Else Than Evolution Become Conscious Of Itself.

We Had Thought That We Were Human Beings Making A Spiritual Journey; It May Be Truer To Say That We Are Spiritual Beings Making A Human Journey.

The World, This Palpable World, Which We Were Wont To Treat With The Boredom And Disrespect With Which We Habitually Regard Places With No Sacred Association For Us, Is In Truth A Holy Place, And We Did Not Know It. Venite, Adoremus.

If There Were No Internal Propensity To Unite, Even At A Prodigiously Rudimentary Level - Indeed In The Molecule Itself - It Would Be Physically Impossible For Love To Appear Higher Up, With Us, In Hominized Form... Driven By The Forces Of Love, The Fragments Of The World Seek Each Other So That The World May Come Into Being.

By Means Of All Created Things, Without Excaption, The Divine Assails Us, Penetrates Us, And Molds Us. We Imagined It As Distant And Inaccessible, When In Fact We Live Steeped In Its Burning Layers

Joy Is The Infallible Sign Of The Presence Of God.

What Disconcerts The Modern World At Its Very Roots Is Not Being Sure, And Not Seeing How It Ever Could Be Sure, That There Is An Outcome-a Suitable Outcome To Evolution. Half Our Present Uneasiness Would Be Turned To Happiness If We Could Once Make Up Our Minds To Accept The Facts And Place The Essence And The Measure Of Our Modern Cosmogonies Within A Noogenesis.

God Loves Everyone In The World Who Doesn't Love Himself. Does God Love God?

The Future Is In The Hands Of Those Who Can Give Tomorrow's Generations Valid Reasons To Live And Hope.

Research Students Are Numbered In The Hundreds Of Thousands-soon To Be Millions -and They Are No Longer Distributed Superficially And At Random Over The Globe, But Are Functionally Linked Together In A Vast Organic System That Will Remain In The Future Indispensable To The Life Of The Community.

The Age Of Nations Has Passed. Now, Unless We Wish To Perish, We Must Shake Off Our Old Prejudices And Build The Earth. The More Scientifically I Regard The World, The Less Can I See Any Possible Biological Future For It Except In The Active Consciousness Of Its Unity.

You Have Told Me, O God, To Believe In Hell. But You Have Forbidden Me To Think...of Any Man As Damned

Love Is The Internal, Affectively Apprehended, Aspect Of The Affinity Which Links And Draws Together The Elements Of The World... Love, In Fact, Is The Expression And The Agent Of Universal Synthesis.

It Often Happens That What Stares Us In The Face Is The Most Difficult To Perceive.

More Primordial Than Any Idea, Beauty Will Be Manifest As The Herald And Generator Or Ideas.

When Humans Truly Discover The Power Of Love, It Will Prove More Important Than The Harnessing Of Fire.

Everything That Rises Must Converge.

Love Is A Sacred Reserve Of Energy; It Is Like The Blood Of Spiritual Evolution.

Psychogenesis Has Led To Man. Now It Effaces Itself, Relieved Or Absorbed By Another And A Higher Function-the Engendering And Subsequent Development Of The Mind, In One Word Noogenesis.

A Breeze Passes In The Night. When Did It Spring Up? Whence Does It Come? Whither Is It Going? No Man Knows.

Without The Slightest Doubt There Is Something Through Which Material And Spiritual Energy Hold Togehter And Are Complementary. In The Last Analysis, Somehow Or Other, There Must Be A Single Energy Operating In The World. And The First Idea That Occurs To Us Is That The 'soul' Must Be As It Were The Focal Point Of Transformation At Which, From All The Points Of Nature, The Forces Of Bodies Converge, To Become Interiorised And Sublimated In Beauty And Truth.

We Now Know From Neural-net Technology That When There Are More Connections Between Points In A System, And There Is Greater Strength Between These Connections, There Will Be Sudden Leaps In Intelligence, Where Intelligence Is Defined As Success Rate In Performing A Task.

Mankind Is Still Embryonic ... [man Is] The Bud From Which Something More Complicated And More Centered Than Man Himself Should Emerge.

We Are Collaborators In Creation.

The Stars Are Laboratories In Which The Evolution Of Matter Proceeds In The Direction Of Large Molecules.

To Write The True Natural History Of The World, We Should Need To Be Able To Follow It From Within. It Would Thus Appear No Longer As An Interlocking Succession Of Structural Types Replacing One Another, But As An Ascension Of Inner Sap Spreading Out In A Forest Of Consolidated Instincts. Right At Its Base, The Living World Is Constituted By Conscious Clothes In Flesh And Bone.

Above All, Trust In The Slow Work Of God.

You Are Not A Human Being In Search Of A Spiritual Experience. You Are A Spiritual Being Immersed In A Human Experience.

Human Experience

Instead Of Standing On The Shore And Proving To Ourselves That The Ocean Cannot Carry Us, Let Us Venture On Its Waters Just To See.

Above All Trust In The Slow Work Of God. Only God Could Say What This New Spirit Gradually Forming Within You Will Be. Give Our Lord The Benefit Of Believing That His Hand Is Leading You, And Accept The Anxiety Of Feeling Yourself In Suspense And Incomplete.

Driven By The Forces Of Love, The Fragments Of The World Seek Each Other So That The World May Come Into Being. ... The Universal Gravity Of Bodies, ... Is Merely The Reverse Or Shadow Of That Which Really Moves Nature. Love In All Its Subtleties Is Nothing More, And Nothing Less, Than The More Or Less Direct Trace Marked On The Heart Of The Element By The Psychical Convergence Of The Universe Upon Itself.

Blessed Be You, Mighty Matter, Irresistible March Of Evolution, Reality Ever Newborn; You Who, By Constantly Shattering Our Mental Categories, Force Us To Go Ever Further And Further In Our Pursuit Of The Truth.

Someday, After Mastering The Winds, The Waves, The Tides And Gravity, We Shall Harness For God The Energies Of Love, And Then, For A Second Time In The History Of The World, Man Will Have Discovered Fire.

And This Is The Best Success I Can Dream For My Life: To Have Spread A New Vision Of The World.

My Starting Point Is The Fundamental Initial Fact That Each One Of Us Is Perforce Linked By All The Material Organic And Psychic Strands Of His Being To All That Surrounds Him. . . . If We Look Far Enough Back In The Depths Of Time, The Disordered Anthill Of Living Beings Suddenly, For An Informed Observer, Arranges Itself In Long Files That Make Their Way By Various Paths Towards Greater Consciousness.

Matter Is Spirit Moving Slowly Enough To Be Seen.

The End Of The World: The Wholesale Internal Introversion Upon Itself Of The Noosphere, Which Has Simultaneously Reached The Uttermost Limit Of Its Complexity And Its Centrality . . . The Overthrow Of Equilibrium, Detaching The Mind, Furfilled At Last, From Its Material Matrix, So That It Will Henceforth Rest With All Its Weight On God-omega . . . Critical Point Simultaneously Of Emergence And Emersion, Of Maturation And Evasion.

End Of The World

The Dog Knows, But Does Not Know That He Knows.

The Most Satisfying Thing In Life Is To Have Been Able To Give A Large Part Of One's Self To Others.

Do Not Forget That The Value And Interest Of Life Is Not So Much To Do Conspicuous Things...as To Do Ordinary Things With The Perception Of Their Enormous Value.

We Are One, After All, You And I, Together We Suffer, Together Exist And Forever Will Recreate Each Other.

Let Us Keep The Discoveries And Indisputable Measurements Of Physics. But ... A More Complete Study Of The Movements Of The World Will Oblige Us, Little By Little, To Turn It Upside Down; In Other Words, To Discover That If Things Hold And Hold Together, It Is Only By Reason Of Complexity, From Above.

We May, Perhaps, Imagine That The Creation Was Finished Long Ago. But That Would Be Quite Wrong. It Continues Still More Magnificently, And At The Highest Levels Of The World.

Love Is The Most Powerful And Still Most Unknown Energy In The World.

He That Will Believe Only What He Can Fully Comprehend Must Have A Long Head Or A Very Short Creed.

The Universe As We Know It Is A Joint Product Of The Observer And The Observed.

We Are Not Human Beings Having A Spiritual Experience; We Are Spiritual Beings Having A Human Experience.

Positive Thinking

This Fundamental Discovery That All Bodies Owe Their Origin To Arrangements Of Single Initial Corpuscular Type Is The Beacon That Lights The History Of The Universe To Our Eyes. In Its Own Way, Matter Obeyed From The Beginning That Great Law Of Biology To Which We Shall Have To Recur Time And Time Again, The Law Of "complexification."

Love Is The Most Universal, The Most Tremendous And The Most Mystical Of Cosmic Forces. Love Is The Primal And Universal Psychic Energy. Love Is A Sacred Reserve Of Energy; It Is Like The Blood Of Spiritual Evolution.

Today, Something Is Happening To The Whole Structure Of Human Consciousness. A Fresh Kind Of Life Is Starting. Driven By The Forces Of Love, The Fragments Of The World Are Seeking Each Other, So That The World May Come Into Being.

Individual Human Beings Are So Subtly Developed Through The Centuries That It Is Strictly Impermissible To Compare Any Two Men Who Are Not Contemporaries-that Is To Say Are Taken From Two Quite Different Times.

He Recognized With Absolute Certainty The Empty Fragility Of Even The Noblest Theorizings As Compared With The Definitive Plenitude Of The Smallest Fact Grasped In Its Total, Concrete Reality.

The Whole Life Lies In The Verb Seeing.

You Must Overcome Death By Finding God In It.

By Virtue Of Creation, And Still More The Incarnation, Nothing Here Below Is Profane For Those Who Know How To See.

In The Spiritual Life, As In All Organic Processes, Everyone Has Their Optimum And It Is Just As Harmful To Go Beyond It As Not To Attain It.

At A Finite Distance In The Future, A Critical State Of Encounter Will Occur, An Ultimate Co-reflective Center. A Focused Conspiration Will Allure Individual Persons To Identify With Others In Profound Affinity. Because Of Thinking Altogether, Love Will Grow Into Divinity.

The Most Telling And Profound Way Of Describing The Evolution Of The Universe Would Undoubtedly Be To Trace The Evolution Of Love.

Man Only Progresses By Slowly Elaborating From Age To Age The Essence And The Totality Of A Universe Deposited Within Him.

Driven By The Forces Of Love, The Fragments Of The World Seek Each Other So That The World May Come To Being.

The Idea Is That Of The Earth Not Only Becoming Covered With Myriad Grains Of Thought, But Becoming Enclosed In A Single Thinking Envelope So As To Form, Functionally, No More Than A Single Vast Grain Of Thought On The Sidereal Scale, The Plurality Of Individual Reflections Grouping Themselves Together And Reinforcing One Another In The Act Of A Single Unanimous Reflection...a New Domain Of Psychical Expansion- That Is What We Lack.

It Doesn't Matter If The Water Is Cold Or Warm If You're Going To Have To Wade Through It Anyway.

Cute Best Friend

In The Final Analysis, The Questions Of Why Bad Things Happen To Good People Transmutes Itself Into Some Very Different Questions, No Longer Asking Why Something Happened, But Asking How We Will Respond, What We Intend To Do Now That It Happened.

It Is Not Our Heads Or Our Bodies Which We Must Bring Together, But Our Hearts. . . . Humanity. . . Is Building Its Composite Brain Beneath Our Eyes. May It Not Be That Tomorrow, Through The Logical And Biological Deepening Of The Movement Drawing It Together, It Will Find Its Heart, Without Which The Ultimate Wholeness Of Its Power Of Unification Can Never Be Achieved?

The Reality Of Spirit-matter Is Inevitably Translated Into And Confirmed By A Structure Of The Spirit.

Our Century Is Probably More Religious Than Any Other. How Could It Fail To Be, With Such Problems To Be Solved? The Only Trouble Is That It Has Not Yet Found A God It Can Adore.

It Is Done. Once Again The Fire Has Penetrated The Earth, Not With The Sudden Crash Of Thunderbolt, Riving The Mountain Tops: Does The Master Break Down Doors To Enter His Own Home? Without Earthquake, Or Thunderclap: The Flame Has Lit Up The Whole World From Within.

From An Evolutionary Point Of View, Man Has Stopped Moving, If He Ever Did Move.

The Phrase 'sense Of The Earth' Should Be Understood To Mean The Passionate Concern For Our Common Destiny Which Draws The Thinking Part Of Life Ever Further Onward. The Only Truly Natural And Real Human Unity Is The Spirit Of The Earth. . . .the Sense Of Earth Is The Irresistable Pressure Which Will Come At The Right Moment To Unite Them (humankind) In A Common Passion.the Age Of Nations Is Past. The Task Before Us Now, If We Would Not Perish, Is To Build The Earth.

God Is Inexhaustibly Attainable In The Totality Of Our Action.

Not Everything Is Immediately Good To Those Who Seek God; But Everything Is Capable Of Becoming Good.

So Many Things Which Once Had Distressed Or Revolted Him — The Speeches And Pronouncements Of The Learned, Their Assertions And Their Prohibitions, Their Refusal To Allow The Universe To Move — All Seemed To Him Now Merely Ridiculous, Non-existent, Compared With The Majestic Reality, The Flood Of Energy, Which Now Revealed Itself To Him: Omnipresent, Unalterable In Its Truth, Relentless In Its Development, Untouchable In Its Serenity, Maternal And Unfailing In Its Protectiveness.

Each Element Of The Cosmos Is Positively Woven From All The Others...the Universe Holds Together, And Only One Way Of Considering It Is Really Possible, That Is, To Take It As A Whole, In One Piece.

Evolution Is Gaining The Psychic Zones Of The World... Life, Being And Ascent Of Consciousness, Could Not Continue To Advance Indefinitely Along Its Line Without Transforming Itself In Depth. The Being Who Is The Object Of His Own Reflection, In Consequence, Of That Very Doubling Back Upon Himself Becomes In A Flash Able To Raise Himself To A New Sphere.

Energy Is The Measure Of That Which Passes From One Atom To Another In The Course Of Their Transformations. A Unifying Power, Then, But Also, Because The Atom Appears To Become Enriched Or Exhausted In The Course Of The Exchange, The Expression Of Structure.

Without You, Without Your Onslaughts, Without Your Uprootings Of Us, We Should Remain All Our Lives Inert, Stagnant, Puerile, Ignorant Both Of Ourselves And Of God.

What Paralyzes Life Is Lack Of Faith And Lack Of Audacity. The Difficulty Lies Not In Solving Problems But Identifying Them.

Each Elect Soul ... Possesses God Directly And Finds In That Unique Possession The Fulfillment Of His Own Individuality.

To See More Is To Become More.

Joy Is The Sheer Evidence Of God.

Evidence Of God

The Only Way Forward Is In The Direction Of A Common Passion, For Nothing In The Universe Can Ultimately Resist The Cumulative Ardor Of The Collective Soul.

The Age Of Nations Is Past. The Task Before Us Now, If We Would Not Perish, Is To Build The Earth.

The Zest For Life, Which Is The Source Of All Passion And All Insight, Even Divine, Does Not Come To Us From Ourselves.... It Is God Who Has To Give Us The Impulse Of Wanting Him.

The Future Is More Beautiful Than All The Pasts.

From The Aspect Of Energy, Renewed By Radio-active Phenomena, Material Corpuscles May Now Be Treated As Transient Reservoirs Of Concentrated Power. Though Never Found In A State Of Purity, But Always More Or Less Granulated (even In Light) Energy Nowadays Represents For Science The Most Primitive Form Of Universal Stuff.

Science, Philosophy And Religion Are Bound To Converge As They Draw Nearer To The Whole.

Mankind Is Now Caught Up, As Though In A Train Of Gears, At The Heart Of A Continually Accelerating Vortex Of Self-totalisation.

Is Evolution A Theory, A System, Or A Hypothesis? It Is Much More It Is A General Postulate To Which All Theories, All Hypotheses, All Systems Must Henceforward Bow And Which They Must Satisfy In Order To Be Thinkable And True. Evolution Is A Light Which Illuminates All Facts, A Trajectory Which All Lines Of Thought Must Follow This Is What Evolution Is.

The Time Has Come To Realise That An Interpretation Of The Universe—even A Positivist One—remains Unsatisfying Unless It Covers The Interior As Well As The Exterior Of Things; Mind As Well As Matter.

Your Creatures Can Come Into Being Only, Like Shoot From Stem, As Part Of An Endlessly Renewed Process Of Evolution.

All The Communions Of A Life-time Are One Communion.all The Communions Of All Men Now Living Are One Communion.all The Communions Of All Men, Present, Past And Future, Are One Communion.

And Over Every Death-force Which Waits In Readiness To Corrode, To Wither, To Cut Down, Speak Again Your Commanding Words Which Express The Supreme Mystery Of Faith: This Is My Blood.

No One Can Deny That A Network (a World Network) Of Economic And Psychic Affiliations Is Being Woven At Ever Increasing Speed Which Envelops And Constantly Penetrates More Deeply Within Each Of Us. With Every Day That Passes It Becomes A Little More Impossible For Us To Act Or Think Otherwise Than Collectively.

Love Alone Is Capable Of Uniting Living Beings In Such A Way As To Complete And Fulfill Them, For It Alone Takes Them And Joins Them By What Is Deepest In Themselves. All We Need Is To Imagine Our Ability To Love Developing Until It Embraces The Totality Of Men And The Earth.

Growing Old Is Like Being Increasingly Penalized For A Crime You Haven't Committed.

The Day Is Not Far Distant When Humanity Will Realize That Biologically It Is Faced With A Choice Between Suicide And Adoration.

A Universal Love Is Not Only Psychologically Possible; It Is The Only Complete And Final Way In Which We Are Able To Love.

As A Result Of Changes Which, Over The Last Century, Have Modified Our Empirically Based Pictures Of The World And Hence The Moral Value Of Many Of Its Elements, The "human Religious Ideal" Inclines To Stress Certain Tendencies And To Express Itself In Terms Which Seem, At First Sight, No Longer To Coincide With The "christian Religious Ideal".

That There Is An Evolution Of One Sort Or Another Is Now Common Ground Among Scientists. Whether Or Not That Evolution Is Directed Is Another Question.

At The Heart Of Our Universe, Each Soul Exists For God, In Our Lord.

God Is Not Remote From Us. He Is At The Point Of My Pen, My (pick) Shovel, My Paint Brush, My (sewing) Needle - And My Heart And Thoughts.

The Machine Not Only Does It Relieve Us Mechanically Of A Crushing Weight Of Physical And Mental Labor; But By The Miraculous Enhancing Of Our Senses, Through Its Powers Of Enlargement, Penetration And Exact Measurement, It Constantly Increases The Scope And Clarity Of Our Perceptions. It Fulfills The Dream Of All Living Creatures By Satisfying Our Instinctive Craving For The Maximum Of Consciousness With A Minimum Of Effort! Having Embarked Upon So Profitable A Path, How Can Mankind Fail To Pursue It?

Faith Has Need Of The Whole Truth.

The More We Split And Pulverise Matter Artificially, The More Insistently It Proclaims Its Fundamental Unity.

Specialisation Paralyses, Ultra-specialisation Kills. Palaeontology Is Littered With Such Catastrophes.

Isolation Is A Blind Alley....nothing On The Planet Grows Except By Convergence.

The World Can No More Have Two Summits Than A Circumference Can Have Two Centres.

Reach Beyond Your Grasp. Your Goals Should Be Grand Enough To Get The Best Of You.

We Have Reached A Crossroads In Human Evolution Where The Only Road Which Leads Forward Is Towards A Common Passion. . . To Continue To Place Our Hopes In A Social Order Achieved By External Violence Would Simply Amount To Our Giving Up All Hope Of Carrying The Spirit Of The Earth To Its Limits.

Truth Has To Appear Only Once, In One Single Mind, For It To Be Impossible For Anything Ever To Prevent It From Spreading Universally And Setting Everything Ablaze.
