Spirituality: Is the Veil Thinning? Time, Consciousness, and Spiritual Evolution

Many of those deeply interested in the spiritual life apart from particular religious traditions believe that the evolution of religion itself has been leading to a new age of god-awareness, an age of cosmic harmonizing between human consciousness and divine reality. Anticipated as a time of convergence, when the sharp divisions between human philosophical, ethical, and religious systems and divine movements begin to fade, many believe that the time is now; the veil is thinning and human consciousness is now ready to receive the divine in new ways. How well attuned are we to this spiritual transition? What is emerging and how will it transform and transcend both religious and scientific claims? Whose are the voices that best articulate this great awakening and what vision are they giving us? How can we best cooperate with and enter into this new age of human/divine confluence?
