Have we somehow put the cart before the horse or are we...
hmmmmm? confusing the issue by seeking first a "global consciousness" and forgeting about the need for a "global conscience".
Who or what is humanity or humanities authorities accountable too besides itself and the will of the people perhaps. Yet we are not the only game in town despite our errant assumption of such so the need for a "global conscience" is essential at this time.
But really who or what can rightly serve or act or assume to act as such. Sure we each do a little part and that helps but in this age of globalization and technocracy surely we can do better than that. Yet admist the need for global diversity how can there though even be simply one global conscience. Even the law is not always the conscience and the church is somewhat inadequate and science or such well seems to have a mixed agenda at times.
Okay we identify the need or the missing piece so how do we go about providing the solution or the global conscience. Is there an example we might follow? I suppose identifing the concern is essential but as well there must be something, a start to address such.
Heres what I found but how do we give it teeth or legitimacy I suppose. I suppose we begin by associating with such and discussion and dialogue of what would constitute a healthy global conscience and try to find examples and if none exists try to create a model and means of such. Certainly we have our individual consciences which are problematic enough but hmmmmm???? Okay
Martin Luther of the 1500 century ad faced a similar situation.
His conscience as a lawyer?, priest and human being would not allow to silently abide by some of the practices and ways of the Church or the Authority at the time. In essence he called on the authority to account to itself and not to him but to the doctrines and principles it taught. He perhaps said the "hypocrisy" must stop. Is that what must happen perhaps but some are sadly unaware of their own hypocrisy, myself included. I question my motives and agendas as did perhaps Dr. Luther... yet conscience and truth at times seems to spring forth from something perhaps outside of ourselves. Can we tap into this this hmmmmmmm????
this "Natural" conscience or "natural global conscience."
Okay there it is then... the need for global conscience with the criteria that it spring forth from a "natural" or perhaps "logical" or reasonable source.

Natural Conscience????

Anyway heres a google find...

[i]Astraea is part of the noosphere - the emerging web of global conscience. Astraea is challenged to balance the desire for fairness and equity for all life against the need to consume resources and the desire to control resources. And, having weighed the options of money and ethics, astraea considers that the two are not mutually exclusive, can be achieved and, actually, present a competitive and attractive way of life. In fact, astraea has accidently found itself assured by the forethought of others e.g.: P. Teillard de Chardin, M. Gorbachov, Shell, IMD and Nestle, Body Shop and more ... so, long live life!

Okay a question then
Who or what in your eyes and experience has best
reflected or represented a
"natural global conscience"?

For me it would be either Martin Luther, the Dali Lama,
or Billie Hughes.

Can we perhaps find "consensus" here?

certainly not one of the people you mentioned and inasmuch as 'british mercantilism,' as propagated by alexander hamilton and the federalists as well as the philosophy of hobbes as opposed to locke has completely taken over. the men you mentioned don't matter one iota... they were tools in the hands of the oligarchs. should say were and are.

what is being chanpioned by spp and the like, all so called globaloney is a world plantation run by a few who have elected themselves as your betters. in the meanwhile chattel and political salvery goes on and on and on with billions of federal reserve ''notes (find out what that means)'' being chanelled into the hands of the greedy ones who desire power over others in the above mentioned forms of slavery now extant on this planet.

read the economist 'ravi batra' for some sharp reasoning as to what's at play. stop looking outside yourself for mass media created eidolons and start freeing your own mind from the shackles that bind it. you are your own leader... don't look outside yourself to become free! free yourself of those bindings that others would have you believe are the way to freedom... there is no way save the one you are on and only you know what that is. all else is fodder for the fire bins. no leaders, no governments, no religions telling you what to do for you know innately, in your heart of hearts, what you want... "And it harm none so mote it be."

study/research the terms british mercantilism and social darwinism... nafta and gatt must be seen in perspective as must the so called war on terror. it is a war on freedom. ours... in lieu ''the odysseus group'' may offer you an oblique way of reasoning and backup that might serve you well in the hell that's coming down the pike. realize your own sovereignty.

you have a right to self determination!
you have a right to leave a 'game.'
you have a right to create for your self a new game to play!

adam smiths attack on british mercantilism should be studied in the light of what is going on today. it was going on then as well. also read about alexander hamilton, the phoney 'constitution,' and what all of it means for you... jow citizen or joe chattel slave in a globalist 'empire!' Non Serviam!

29 Sep 2006 @ 18:07 by swanny : The Judgement of the Biosphere
Is humanity or its leaders and courts thus "responsible" or accountable for our or humanities crimes against the greater community of life or the biosphere. Humanity is not the world or center of the Universe afterall but a part of the greater community of life or the biosphere to which a crime against is in essence a crime against oneself and all.
So how finds the judge or what is the judgement of the biosphere against us, against humanity.

Guilty!

Sentence: Global warming and water shortage.

Hmmmm interesting and yes it appears to be that simple.

...how on earth could be any difference between one's "Global CONSCIENCE" and PRIVATE?????? Aren't we ALWAYS expected and demanded by Life to apply: "Do Unto Others as...." It is ALL said in those few words!.... and as Jesus put it: "Thou Shall No Other Gods Have Before Me". When read with your Heart and True Logic, 'you'll understand that "God" "talks"/communicates Itself to 'you' VIA your OWN Mental/ Emotional = Spiritual- Faculties.
This Cosmic Law together with the Golden Rule of Life (Do Unto Others) are Thee Law, Jesus stated, "All else then follows". These two are the "things" that make up EACH person's Conscience!!!.... "private -or Global; doesn't make any diff!
Of course, we all have to understand -eventually at least, that ALL of God's Creation; Land,Water, Air, Fire,The Ether and all what is made visible with substance from these ARE AS Important and VALUABLE as "humanity" indeed without them we wouldn't even be here!... So, from this follows the Logic: Treat ALL the way YOU want to be treated! No more "Special" conscience is needed, I don't think!.... And whomever says; "oh yes, we need" is lying throught their teeth, in order to create for themselves a plattfrom from where to continue -or begin(?) the abuse of all outside of his/ her own imminent "world"/skin!

You, Swanny are right: we need to start talking about this, like right NOW and "wake up" our own God Faculties/Conscience or else.... as the saying goes.
