then humanity can truly work together as a whole and the insanity of the competetive, dog eat dog mindset will, due to a higher plane of consciousness attained, dissolve.

That made absolutely no sense. Not that it's wrong. It's just not understandable as it is

Planet is aware, cells are aware, body is aware, group is aware, for lack of better term, noosphere is aware..

For Teilhard, the noosphere is best described as a sort of 'collective consciousness' of human-beings. It emerges from the interaction of human minds. The noosphere has grown in step with the organization of the human mass in relation to itself as it populates the earth. As mankind organizes itself in more complex forms of arrangement and unification, the higher the noosphere will grow in awareness. This is an extension of Teilhard's Law of Complexity/Consciousness, the law describing the nature of evolution in the universe. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, added that the noosphere is growing towards an even greater integration and unification, culminating in the Omega Point—which he saw as the goal of history.
