The end of the world: the wholesale internal introversion upon itself of the noosphere, which has simultaneously reached the uttermost limit of its complexity and its centrality . . . the overthrow of equilibrium, detaching the mind, furfilled at last, from its material matrix, so that it will henceforth rest with all its weight on God-Omega . . . critical point simultaneously of emergence and emersion, of maturation and evasion.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinToday, something is happening to the whole structure of human consciousness. A fresh kind of life is starting. Driven by the forces of love, the fragments of the world are seeking each other, so that the world may come into being.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinYou are not a human being in search of a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being immersed in a human experience.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinNot everything is immediately good to those who seek God; but everything is capable of becoming good.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinWe had thought that we were human beings making a spiritual journey; it may be truer to say that we are spiritual beings making a human journey.
