Eckhart Tolle explores how humanity evolves through cycles of collapse and renewal. He traces historical surges in consciousness, like one around 2,500 years ago that sparked major civilizations, and argues that planetary and human evolution advance through periods of death and rebirth.
Now, just as the planet experiences every few million years a death and renewal, the evolution of humanity has certain similarities there. It is a universal pattern here, and that is humanity also goes through periods of evolution. Their consciousness grows, civilization arises, they learn new things, create new things, gradually become more conscious. There was a new, a huge influx of consciousness, a very significant time period. For example, 2,500 years ago, it lasted a few, gradually a few hundred years. It also produced civilizations.
