In this segment of the YouTube video "What Comes After the Collapse," Eckhart Tolle reflects on Earth's geological history, noting that the planet has undergone approximately five mass extinction events. He emphasizes that each extinction was followed by a period of regeneration lasting a few million years, during which new life forms emerged that were more complex than their predecessors. Tolle frames this as a recurring cycle: chaos leads to a collapse, which then gives rise to a higher order of life, establishing a pattern of continual renewal and increasing complexity over deep time.
