The mind, or attentiveness, or self-conscious energy, or human consciousness, looks at its own movement, own dynamics, and to find what it is, and its own known and unknown dimensions. An exploration of the known and unknown dimensions of consciousness [11] are as under:
The Known Dimensions of Consciousness
- Rational knowledge is a system of abstract concepts and symbols, characterized by the linear and sequential structure.
- Studies experience partially.
- Decreases sensitivity and lowers the level of perception.
- Leads to self-destructive potential of mind and adds to psychological matters in the brain.
- Resistance.
- Time.
- Self-awareness.
- Successive Consciousness.
- Science without values gives fragmentary and mutilated perception.
- Divisive in nature and adds to inward suffering.
The Unknown Dimensions of Consciousness
- Intuitive knowledge is a system of holistic concepts, which are non-symbolic and simultaneous.
- Studies experience in its totality.
- Increases sensitivity and heightens the level of perception.
- Leads to self-integrative potential of mind and decreases the psychological matter in the brain.
- Resilience.
- Timelessness.
- All-inclusive awareness and understanding.
- Simultaneous Consciousness.
- Science with values gives holistic and ecological perception.
- A benediction which heals inward suffering.

We have made a breakthrough in mind-brain research and have proposed the first model of the human psyche. Let this model be examined by world physicists, neuroscientists, physiologists, psychiatrists, social activists, educators, mystics, and so on. Perhaps such a dialogue will lead to a second model of the human psyche.[12] We want a revolution, a psychological revolution, in which the whole human race has to participate and every man is an equal partner. We want a quantum jump from psycho-social evolution to spiritual evolution, that can guarantee human survival, human excellence and human fulfilment.
