Reports produced by the CoR in the 1970\u2019s and 80\u2019s are replete with terms like new world order, global union, united earth community, global society, interdependence, sustainable development, masterplan, blueprint etc. Whereas the reports produced by these more recent organizations frequently refer to global consciousness, earth consciousness, wisdom, the global mind, the Gaia mind, global ethics, planetization, conscious evolution, the great awakening, the great transition and the great shift.<\/p>\n<p>Before reading this article, I encourage the reader to peruse the Green Web and take special note of the membership list of the World Commission on Global Consciousness and Spirituality.
