Are We Emerging Into a Collective Planetary Mind?
The Profound Concept of the Noosphere.
Dear voyagers,
Welcome to the first installment of Cross-Pollinations | Pollen From The Noosphere!
In this section of the publication I will be sharing interesting, elusive, often thought-provoking, sometimes funny, and even radical and controversial ideas from the Noosphere!
The format and the themes will vary, encompassing videos, courses, recipes, biographies, literary works, studies, ancient stories, contemporary stories, websites, other Substacks, and generally whatever I come across—or comes across me— that would be of value on our voyage.
Let's allow for the pollen of ideas to flow and circulate freely, cross-pollinate our thoughts and perceptions and hopefully we'll have a bountiful harvest to enjoy and share!
Because, ideas-in equals ideas-out!
Since this is the inaugural issue of this section, I'm keeping it short and sweet. You can dive deeper by following the links below, of course!
Now, allow me to introduce you to the profound concept of the Noosphere!

I think there is a collective mind already, albeit with much of it unconscious. The Buddhist concept of interdependence, as I've been reading, points to a unity of the sum of our thoughts, actions, words. How do we make the unconscious conscious? As one writer said, it is not my responsibility what another does, nor is it right to abandon the work of trying to influence or assist others. A very loose paraphrase.. actually I can't remember where I read that.
