Quote by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Evolution is gaining the psychic zones of the world... life, being and ascent of consciousness, could not continue to advance indefinitely along its line without transforming itself in depth. The being who is the object of his own reflection, in consequence, of that very doubling back upon himself becomes in a flash able to raise himself to a new sphere.
Summary
This quote suggests that evolution is not only a physical process but also involves the development of consciousness. As life progresses, it cannot continue to advance indefinitely without undergoing profound transformations. The quote suggests that when an individual is able to reflect upon oneself and become aware of their own existence, they gain the ability to transcend to a higher level of understanding or existence. It implies that self-awareness and introspection are key elements in the continued evolution and growth of life and consciousness.
