“From the first beginnings of History (sic) . . . this principle of the compressive generation of consciousness has been ceaselessly at work in the human mass. But from the moment — we have just reached it! — when the compression of populations in the teeming continents gains a decided ascendancy over their movement of expansion upon the earth’s surface, the process is naturally speeded up to a staggering extent. We are today witnessing a truly explosive growth of technology and research, bringing and increasing mastery, both theoretical and practical, of the secrets and sources of cosmic energy at every level and in every form; and, correlative with this, the rapid heightening of what I have called the psychic temperature of the earth. A single glance at the overall picture of surface chaos is enough to assure us that this is so. We see a human tide bearing us upward with all the force of a contracting star.” — The Future of Man, p. 276
