Teilhard and Noogenesis

Noogenesis is the act of the creation of something psychic. Noosphere is a word which represents the physic layer born of Noogenesis which developing and surrounds our planet above the Biosphere. The Biosphere is the mass of living beings which covers the globe. Teilhard asserts that during the first years of evolution, the brain had a capacity to reflect. The first beings on the earth did not form any sort of communal communication. However, during the Neolithic age, human beings started to come together forming a convergent line on the earth. Thus, grouping had become a necessity. This caused man to go beyond the early evolutionary stages and cross to the "Threshold of Reason". Teilhard believes that at this point a new planetary sphere above the Biosphere called Noosphere was born. Telihard inferred that Noogenesis is the name given to the process of planetary unity formed by human thought. Thus the result of Noogenesis is the birth of the Noosphere; "a definitive layer of collective thought of human beings". Teilhard believes the earth is entering a new stage called the "Socialization of Compression" which states that evolution is moving towards the brain. He then asserts that since evolution is conscious of itself it then creates a new stage of Noogenesis. This stage is progressing rapidly towards the future. Teilhard defines this as a sort of progressing evolution which will eventually undergo a primarily psychic transformation. Teilhard believe that this transformation must be met by conforming to what we calls the "Complexity Consciousness". Our outcome will then determine whether we succeed in the transformation process. He called one possible outcome the "Omega Point". Here, Teilhard states the we must learn how to conduct ourselves spiritually and find an understanding on how to conduct oneself in times of turmoil. According the Teilhard, our steps toward a unified thinking state depends on us and whether "we accept or refuse Omega Point". Teilhard be lives that this motor (God) which generates the Alpha and Omega, gives man conscious thought, a mind, soul as well as love to use this and build a better future for mankind.

Teilhard is brilliant in the way he combines religion, futuristic fiction, evolution and optimism and asserts it to theory. However, that's all it is to be taken for; nothing more. The idea that man could reach a state where human beings could reach unification through human thought or emerge into a evolutionary development by consciousness, the mind or interpersonal relationships is implausible to me when evaluating evolution and the human phyche
