All major and minor events we encounter in our contemporary world result from the human mind . All sweet and sour experiences we accumulate are borne out of the human mind. History's repositories contain the content of all that the human mind has done. All that we are going to taste in the future will be the creativity of the human mind.
Mind is the creator of noosphere, sphere of the mind - nous is a Greek word meaning mind or intellect. Noosphere is much larger than our biosphere. The mind is not confined to the body only; it attempts to enlarge its sphere as much as possible. Creating the noosphere is understanding everything, every system, and phenomenon. The mind tries to work at every level, ranging from the body that accommodates it to the whole cosmos. If anything exists in the cosmos, it has to pass through the gateway of the mind; if it doesn't, it doesn't exist.
Planet Earth came into existence after the astro-physical stability of the cosmos. Then the evolution of planet Earth into a living planet, and after a journey of billions of years, at the climax of the biological evolution nearly three lakh years ago, the modern mind came into being with the evolution of Homo sapiens. At the beginning of its evolution, the mind was concerned with understanding its surroundings. Gradually, with time, it evolved. Going through its evolutionary journey, the mind evolved art, dharm based on wisdom, and technology, empowering itself. The empowered mind developed an insatiable quest to know, understand, discover, invent, and enjoy everything visible and invisible, every phenomenon, possibility and impossibility.
The successively evolving mind is the most imaginative novelty of cosmic evolution . This novelty has now emerged as an actual participant in cosmic creativity. Upon attaining technological evolution driven by the human mind and subsequently ushering in the Industrial Age, not a single ecosystem on the planet is left in its natural state; they are all anthropogenically modified. This modification is an outcome of technological evolution. Transformation of biosphere into a technosphere is a game the human mind is playing. Ever since the origin of the human species with unlimited evolutionary power, the epoch has ushered in the Anthropocene . We have knocked on other planets and are rapidly attaining power to explore nooks and corners of the cosmos. We are in the process of colonising Mars.
"There are no mysteries of the universe, except the mystery of the mind," says eco-philosopher Henryk Skolimowski, "As the mind is, so is the universe." There are three types of minds ruling the world: The mind complacent with status quo, another with evolution's sensitivities, and yet another as coextensive with reality. Our contemporary world is in doldrums with ecological carnage, environmental pollution , climate change , extinction of species, and terrorism. This is all attributable to the first kind of mind - the mind complacent with the status quo. Such a mind dismisses evolution, is insensitive, distrusts truth, and revolves around certain dogmas. The second and the third types of minds, on the other hand, are minds shining with the evolution's sensitivities, spirituality, compassion, flexibility, wisdom, and eco-philosophical virtues.
