Has the Global Level of Consciousness shifted?

This is a question that many people, including myself, are asking.
I sensed a change around the end of November 2007. There seemed to be a feeling of freedom in the air and lightness, like the weight had been lifted off our shoulders. I initially thought the change of government in Australia had generated a huge sigh of relief across the country and we were feeling a sense of hope and freshness. But now I think maybe there has been a shift in global consciousness and the election result was an outcome.

So what is happening? Dr. David R. Hawkins in his bestseller Power vs Force has outlined a Scale of Consciousness from 0 to 1000. He states any level under 200 is in a negative realm. When he published his second book- The Eye of the I in 2001 the consciousness level of mankind was sitting at 207. Is it possible that there has been a shift and we have moved closer to 250? Using his scale 250 would have the following characteristics: Godview is enabling, Life View is satisfactory, Enlightenment is neutrality, Emotion is trust and Process is release. Certainly I can see these elements present with the many people I am interacting with.

Back in May 2007 I was involved in the Global Peace Mediation Day. About 1 million people meditated on “May Peace Prevail on Earth”. Monitoring this event was Roger Nelson from the Global Consciousness Project. He and his team were monitoring effects of the group focus with Random Number Generators across the globe. The results found a “surprisingly strong effect. Independently significant at 0.05 level.” (Source: Press Release issued by Dr. Ervin Laszlo, Founder and president of The Club of Budapest).
This demonstrated to me that field of consciousness is moving and we are influencing it.

Sri Bhagavan, founder of the Oneness University in India says, in an interview with Kiara Windrider and published in Deeksha -The Fire from Heaven, that once sixty-four thousand people have reached cosmic consciousness levels (1000 on the Hawkins scale) the energy will be enough to transform all of mankind.
Maybe we are reaching those numbers?
