Inhaltsangabe

A new kingdom evolves every billion years or so. A kingdom is evolving now, within human consciousness. 

Organic molecules combine into the first kingdom – bacterial cells, which amalgamate into the second kingdom – complex cells, which colonize into the third kingdom – animals. The consciousness of each higher-level organism remains reducible to that of its parts, but takes on a wholeness over and above its parts. Individual cells experience photons, but the organism as a whole sees. 

The evolutionary process continues in the current era: cities evolve circulatory systems, electrical grids, and municipal plumbing. Television moves human consciousness from direct visual perception to the mediated experience of a pixel screen, while virtual reality programs create consciousness entirely distinct from physical reality. But mindless process is not adaptation. Civilization cannot face the hard realities of life on Earth without a spiritual realization of humanity in relation to the natural world. 

The kingdom will not live without its soul.
