The Cardisphere

"The day will come when, after harnessing space, winds, the tide, and gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies of love. And on that day, for the second time in history of the world, man will have discovered fire." ~ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Vladimir Vernadsky coined the term Noosphere in the 1920s, long before computer technology and the internet. His writings were published after his death in 1955. Scholars are still mining the depth of his scientific thought - interpreting and expanding it appropriately to the human evolution we are experiencing today.

In a four-part video presentation, Harnessing the Energies of Love, Louis Savary said Teilhard predicted, but never named, a new layer beyond the noosphere: a layer of love. Identifying and naming this new sphere is essential to harnessing the energies of love. Savary suggests the name Cardisphere.

Teilhard also discovered that the most fundamental force at work in the universe was Attraction, specifically, Attraction leading to Connection (or union in French). This fundamental force has never stopped functioning. He also noticed that new Connections are attracted to other Connections, generating a new level of growth in Complexity. As this growing Complexity became neurological, it emerged as Consciousness.

Teilhard formulated a series of principles of evolution that Savary has called axioms of love. He explains them in his video series. These correspond to his 2017 book Teilhard de Chardin On Love: Evolving Human Relationships.

Core Concepts of the Book

• Love as Energy: Savary presents love not just as an emotion, but as a real, physical, and spiritual cosmic energy that drives the universe forward.

• The Omega Point: Teilhard viewed all creation as evolving toward a final point of union with God, called the Omega Point, powered by the attractive force of love.

• Practical Spirituality: Each chapter pairs Teilhard's theoretical insights with everyday exercises to help readers practice this evolutionary love.

Levels of Human Relationships Explored

• Friendship: How friends act as spiritual companions who help lift each other toward higher consciousness.

• Marriage and Couples: Viewing romantic partnership as a sacred space for mutual transformation and shared purpose.

• Parenting: Seeing child-rearing as nurturing a new wave of human potential and consciousness.

• Teams and Communities: Extending personal care into larger groups to build a unified global community (the Noosphere). Beyond that, Savary proposes the eventual realization of the Cardisphere.
