The human race is evolving to the realization that what is happening on the level of consciousness both precedes and determines what happens in the world.

We can actually accelerate the process through meditation, through the ability to find stillness through loving actions, through compassion and sharing, through understanding the nature of the creative process in the universe and having a sense of connection to it. So, that's conscious evolution.
The human race is a herd. Here we are, unique, eternal aspects of consciousness with an infinity of potential, and we have allowed ourselves to become an unthinking, unquestioning blob of conformity and uniformity. A herd. Once we concede to the herd mentality, we can be controlled and directed by a tiny few. And we are.
The human race is governed by its imagination.
When brains get sufficiently big, presumably, as human brains have, consciousness seems to emerge.
