Solving the Existential Crisis of Humanity Through the Evolution of Consciousness with Practical Applications
Spiritual GrowthWritten by Santosh Krinsky664 views
Santosh Krinsky gave this talk to outline both the existential crisis we are facing in the world today, tying together numerous different symptoms into a view of the larger issues we are facing, as well as the causative factors and the direction for solving this crisis through the development of the next phase of the growth of consciousness on the planet, the development of the supramental consciousness, beyond the mental level. The supramental consciousness sees globally and wholistically rather than in a linear, blinkered fashion, and thus, can understand and resolve issues that the mind has difficulty in grasping.

Listening to the Voice of the Soul Rather Than the Voice of the External Mental and Vital Nature
