• Collective Consciousness
The origin of the modern concept of consciousness is often credited to
John Locke; in his Essay Concerning Human Understanding, published
in 1690. He defined consciousness as “the perception of what passes
in a man’s own mind.”

13. Universal Brain
Global Brain: a metaphor for the worldwide intelligent network formed by
people together with the information and communication technologies that
connect them into an "organic" whole.
_Coined byPeterRussell in 1982
• Organicism: In 1993, Gregory Stock proposed a modern vision of superorganism
formed by humans and machines, which he calls "Metaman". In this organic
metaphor, the analogue of the nervous system is the global brain. The exchanges of
information on Earth are processing at a high rate and speed, similar to the
functioning of a nervous system.
• Encyclopedism: Free associative possibilities - universal knowledge network ,
Encyclopedia, Information Science, World Brain, WWW, …Wikipedia… and more.
Naturally the brain can link different kinds of information without any
apparent link. Inspired by this Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web
thought that computers could become much more powerful if they could imitate this
functioning, that is make links between any arbitrary piece of information.
• Emergentism: This approach focuses on the emergent aspects of the
evolution and development of complexity, including the spiritual,
psychological, and moral-ethical aspects of the global brain.

14. Noosphere
Noosphere /ˈnoʊ.ɵsfɪər/ - is a concept used by
Vladimir Vernadsky and Teilhard de Chardin to
denote the "sphere of human thought".
• In the theory of Vernadsky:
• The noosphere is the third in a succession of phases of
development of the Earth, after the geosphere (inanimate
matter) and the biosphere (biological life).
• This is also currently being researched as part
of the Princeton Global Consciousness
Project – with the intention to prove
Coincidences of Consciousness.

18. A Reflection of My Experiences
It has been about four months since the beginning of this column, our readers have reflected
on a number of ways ranging from simple comments to critical review talks. From the
outset the motivation of this column was to create a participatory environment, a reflective
circle, an engaging event for scholars and professionals in colorful ways. To take this to the
next level, on Saturday 2nd of February, 2013 I have triggered our readers by
inviting them to write reflective articles on the title, ‘A Reflection of My
Experiences’. I believe every one of us have unique experiences during the course of
our life, experiences that no one else has experienced; experiences that could be an awe-
inspiring, motivating and unique lesson to others. Rivers of Consciousness is inviting
readers to articulate their unique experiences, especially experiences on academic, social,
professional and generally living-experience encounters. The literature being an Interior
Monologue or any other literary, writers are motivated to write their story in an abstract or
philosophical approach so as to make it a literature to think upon. Our hope is to sail on the
collective boats of realization in the rivers of thoughtful true stories, which ultimately make
the Ocean of Prosperity!

19. Reflection, believed, resultes in:
• “Critical Consciousness”
– in which learners become:
• ACTORS, not observers
• AUTHORS of their own decisions.
When we as learners do not reflect on our place in the
world or critically evaluate the validity of information
presented to us, Freire claimed, “we become passive
and superficial, accepting faulty logic, untested
ideas, and allowing ourselves to be swayed by
deceptive arguments and polemics.”
