"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away . . ."
-- Revelations 21:1 --
The "new earth" is a profound psychological metaphor for the change in our attitudes and conceptions - indeed, the change in our entire mode or way of thinking - as we shift from a narrow self-consciousness to an expansive and inclusive higher consciousness. The video interview of Father Thomas Keating by integral theorist Ken Wilbur (embedded in article) amply illustrates this shift in perceptions and attitudes, as well as its implications for personal and collective well-being.
