When I talk to people and hear there stories absolutely! Does that surprise you? And you were looking for it in a corporate restaraunt?
Lol. I thought you guys were kidding! You're really experiencing a bunch of people having an evolution of consciousness? I really thought that only happened on the Internet. I only experience people drinking, talking about sports and business where I work.
that's a tough standard of measure. You seem to equate "if I don't see it, it isn't happening" with all experiences possible. By this definition, and yours is a very common one, then because blind people can't see colors they don't exist. I would caution against using the idea that your experience equals all experience, ergo those that have something different are in need of help, as a way of life.
I'm not quite sure I follow you. The OP seems to have been lucky enough to be excited about his experience with people evolving. I haven't been. I see no signs of it at all. I just see the same thing I have been seeing, i.e., people going about their lives getting excited about i-phone apps, movies, sports, left/right politics, etc. Nothing even hinting of some metaphysical evolution, or some new, exciting awareness. That's my experience however banal that seems.

Well, I serve a lot of people drinks where I work so they do talk to me, and I do bring up a variety of subjects(including UFOs), but I am at work so I can't get into deep discussions with them. My friends aren't really evolving into a new realm of consciousness either, that I'm aware of. I think I'm out of the loop completely on this.

Then call me super natural.
EDIT: And when you classified it as "not natural" you are mistaken. The word natural is relative, and also all encompasing. Everything is natural that exists.edit on 21-6-2012 by chadderson because: (no reason given)

when you attempt to perceive the world and the universe through forced means you will get a picture that is either compromised in some way or an outright lie.
