The Second Insight... The Longer Now

" This awakening represents the creation of a new, more complete worldview, which replaces a five -hundred-year-old preoccupation with secular survival and comfort. While this technological preoccupation was an important step, our awakening to life's coincidences is opening us up to the real purpose of human life on this planet, and the real nature of our universe."

The second insight extends our consciousness of historical time. It shows us how to observe culture not just from the perspective of our own lifetimes but from the perspective of a whole millennium. Our preoccupations are revealed to us and lifts us above it and when you look at the human world now, you should be able to clearly see the obsessiveness, the intense preoccupation with economic progress. Its time to wake up from the preoccupation and reconsider our original question. What's behind life on this planet? Why are we really here?
