All political and economic structures have emerged from a fragmented mind and fragmented world. As long as the human psyche is fragmented, or there is inherent violence in the individual psyche, the political leaders of the world and the heads of the States shall never be able to end wars or create a sustainable peace in the world. A reform is at an intellect level, so reform needs further reform, and this is an endless process. Any formula or action based on belief, idealism, dogmatism, and conformity cannot bring in transformation in the human psyche. All symbolic-dualistic knowledge, all concepts are sterile in transforming human mind.
Recently another dimension called understanding, has emerged. The human being seems to be born with the faculty of self-awareness and understanding. Understanding is born when non-reactional attentivity takes over as the subject and is sustained over a long chronological time; this results in thought-time going to abeyance and activisation of the Intelligence. Understanding leads to mutation of the brain. The decrease of the content of consciousness - deconditioning the psyche - is called mutation, which is one perpetual movement from knowledge to understanding and from intellect to intuition (wisdom, intelligence). Mutation is ending of oneself every moment, it is ending the content of consciousness every moment, it is dying every moment. Living and dying are one, these are a single harmonious flow, and happen at each moment. Mutation transforms the relationship with the known; it is also the beginning of new relationships with the unknown. The tool, now emerging, is direct perception (intuition) to communicate that intuition by verbal cognition (words are drawn from factual memory) and rational inference (quantum logic). Rational inference is totally rational and sane. Quantum logic is synergistic to classical logic. Quantum logic has the capacity to construct a rational and sane society.
Both science and spirituality deal with the search of truth. Both accept the non-authoritarian approach - an approach not conditioned by the authority of the past. The subject of cognisance in both cases is the trans-psychological dimension of consciousness. Both deal with ending human misery and suffering. Seen in this light, there is no conflict between science and pure religion, between physical sciences and the science of spirituality. These are two complementary disciplines in the life of man and the real aim is to produce fully integrated human beings. Spirituality aims at actualisation of the hidden human potential. Spirituality is fundamental and science is a derivative.
Nature responds to experimental interrogation. Experimental dialogue is possible when the subject is unrelated to one's beliefs, ambitions, hopes, motivations, and so on. The subject is called non-reactional attentiveness and it sees the fact. The classical objective science sees the external time-space matrix, the "knowledge of structural form, and not knowledge of the content" in the words of Arthur Eddington. Spirituality perceives the knowledge of content of consciousness, so spirituality is the science of the wholeness of life.
The new world order is neither a political issue, nor an economic one. It is basically a psychic issue. It is a fundamental question of evolution. And this question is: will mankind as a whole be able to end the cutting of the mind in two compartments - the subject and the object and their interface interactions. It is therefore essential to jettison all processes that are antagonistic to the laws of nature; this will bring harmony between man and nature, and between man and man. It is spirituality that has the potential to end subject-object dualism and thus resolve all human psychological problems.
