Do we see or do we not see, admit or refuse to admit, that as an effect of complexification and arrangement life is coming to rise more and more rapidly on earth, within a convergent universe? That is the precise point upon which mankind is obliged to divide itself (as, indeed, we can see for ourselves it is actually doing) into two irreconcilably conflicting blocs.

And, we can confidently predict, only that portion of mankind which has made the correct choice will survive - and super-live.

III. SOME LINES OF ATTACK THAT ALLOW US FURTHER TO VERIFY THE REALITY OF THE PHENOMENON

In order to verify the hypothesis of an explosive cosmos, the physicists have recently brought into operation a giant telescope, designed to reveal the existence of ever more distant galaxies and allow us to study their behaviour.

If the preceding considerations are correct, surely the most urgent task confronting the genius of man at this moment is to conceive and undertake the construction of another 'Palomar* - but this one would be designed to bring out not an expansion of the universe in space but a psychogenic concentration of the universe upon itself: and this by magnification and analysis of the phenomenon of man.

It is a story, this time, not of a sufficiently large mirror and sufficiently sensitive photographic plates: it is a matter of bringing together a large enough number of minds that are sufficiently open and in tune with influences of the cosmic order to perceive, record and amplify a movement of the noosphere in relation to itself.

Such an enterprise, it is evident, can profitably be undertaken only after a very considerable preliminary work of discussion and tentative inquiry conducted by expert physicists and biologists. 10

Even so, it would seem possible here and now to enumerate some main lines along which the problem may be attacked.

1. From what I have already said, the ideal method of scientifically establishing the phenomenon of a convergence of the universe would be to be able, by some technique, at every moment to measure directly the psychic charge (or tempera-

ture) of mankind - in other words, the degree or gradient of its reflection upon itself. This is an operation that is as yet hardly conceivable, but will not, perhaps, baffle the physics of tomorrow. Meanwhile, using a more descriptive method, may there not really be a way, for a scientifically alert observer, of detecting around us the signs of an ultra-evolution (we might say 'a wind of reflection') in a whole series of psychic phenomena, still incompletely identified and yet patient of statistical study? For example, the general rise, at this very moment, in the most advanced areas of human thought, of a certain distress -or, on the contrary, of
