Love's tool

Love's Tool (Carey)

"Electronic media is to be one of love's most powerful and effective tools of transformation during the last days, facilitating education and catalyzing widespread awakening."
 (The Third Millennium: Living in the Post-historic World, by Ken Carey, HarperSanFrancisco, 1991)

Re-plotting our Trajectory (de Chardin)

"[A]t this particular juncture we must re-plot on as wide a trajectory as possible, the highly critical section of the curve in which we are at present living. We must, therefore, look at it from further back and higher up... "
 (Man's Place in Nature, by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin)

Fresh Forward Leap (de Chardin)

"...the evolution of life on earth does more than simply find a way of prolonging itself in us along the line of its earlier expression; like one of those multiple-stage rockets, it is now visibly starting a fresh forward leap, with a directive mechanism and a power of penetration that are both fundamentally new."
(from: Man's Place in Nature, by Pierre Teilhard De Chardin)

New Evolutionary Stage for the Nervous System of Social Organisms (Engelbart)

"I look to it with a biological metaphor as providing a new evolutionary stage for the nervous system of social organisms, from which much more highly developed institutional forms may evolve that are much improved in: awareness of self and environment, situational cognizance and response, visualization of the future, problem-solving capability, etc."
 (Coordinated Information Services for a Discipline- or Mission-Oriented Community, by Douglas Engelbart, 1975)
