The collective consciousness of all living beings on a planet — suggesting that all life is interconnected and part of a larger, self-regulating whole.

Definition

Planetary consciousness is a term used to describe the collective consciousness of all the living beings on a planet. The concept suggests that all living beings on a planet are interconnected and influence each other in some way — part of a larger, interconnected whole.

Planetary cognition describes the ability of a planet to process information and understand its surroundings, closely related to the idea of Gaia — a theory that suggests the Earth is a living, self-regulating organism.
