The Truth: The Universe is a Growing God
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Truth: The Universe is a Growing God is the name of a book written by Cyril James Skidmore in 1995. Little is known about the author, but it had some impact in Transhumanism circles.
The book is theological in nature, and blends currently-known scientific information with elements of deist and transcendentalist belief into a single worldview. In that view, humanity is on the verge of becoming a superorganism that will grow the capabilities to expand and evolve until it makes up the entire universe.
The book was published by an outfit called "Advanced Concepts Research" but is difficult to find in print. It was published online at http://www.the-truth.com (now defunct) until about the end of 1998.
The site appears to have been shut down in 1999, which may be related to the advent of the anti-smoking advertising campaign called "The Truth".

Actually, the following is essentially what he told us: Consciousness is continuing to expand and evolve and the universe is continuing to become more and more godlike. This is the path of the universe. If you wish to be aligned with reality, you must know this.
