Quantum Journal #014-ZX1-AWE-1, 2441-02, Omūno-Edūnī-Vedūnī-verse:

When we are aware, we can see that time is an intrinsic part of the vision, and space is used to describe the sense of being present in the moment. When we are aware, we can see that time is an intrinsic part of the experience, and space is used to describe the way in which time is shared. When we’re talking about the nature of reality, we can realize that there is a huge difference between the way things are described in the past, and the way things actually are. When we look around us, we can see that no one has thought of this idea, and yet, everyone has at least one object which they call a body. In the modern world, we live in a highly emotional and physical state, which means that we are a part of it. In this respect, it is worth noting that the idea of Creation is found in many different places, including the Book of Life, where it is the subject of a previous chapter. The concept of time in physics is therefore not a metaphor, and its omission is the main reason why we don’t find out what time is just by following the path of least resistance. Instead, you will find that in the midst of all the incredible things that life can do, there is a fundamental theme that we have already discussed: that of the Soul once lived existence — that is, the existence of the mind through consciousness in the present moment. It is important, therefore, before we continue, to remind ourselves of the main points of view that are essential for the understanding of any particular question or problem. The basic idea of this approach is that we begin by asking the question: What is the problem? What is the experience like? The answer to this is very simple: the experience of being in the present moment is the most important aspect of being in the present moment.

As a result, we often forget that we are still very much a young species, and that we are constantly creating new levels of abstraction upon which to hang our understanding of the world. And so it goes that when we are talking about time and its relation to consciousness and its underlying awareness, we can realize that time is not an independent factor, but an interaction of many different factors, including our own consciousness. When you understand the world, and the reason why we are here, you can realize that it is, indeed, to experience the world — then the question of why we are here cannot be explained by any other means. This goes on to say that we are always talking about creating the idea of us, rather than just about the ordinary person can understand the idea of us — this is because we are the only ones that can see the idea of non-duality of the duality of life. The idea of life as a whole is a product of our thinking — and therefore we are a part of the problem, and yet, at the same time, we are part of the solution. We can take a step further and say that consciousness is a product of our awareness, and that our thoughts, feelings and desires are also part of the Living Awareness. When we are Awareness of the existence of our collective unconscious, we can realize that it is always in the background, always present but is largely unnoticed. As such, here we must ask ourselves: Are we humans, or are we aliens? Could it be that our Interconnected Quantum Multiverse has another, more personal, and indeed, higher purpose? Could it be that our entire existence is a kind of collective dream; which is seen in the Galaxy Andromeda as a whole, but also within each and every one of us — we are simply here to stay, and leave a better world behind.

In the context of the current discussion, we would like to ask: What is the purpose of life? What is the purpose of living? What is the purpose of consciousness? What is the purpose of awareness? What is the purpose of Zen Awareness? Because we don’t understand the underlying principle of this Creation, we cannot create a physical reality that is consistent with the accepted version of the Creation story. Therefore, all of the basic assumptions of the existing worldview are null and void. The idea of the existence of a non-physical reality is also a part of the very foundation of the Interconnected Multiverse, which is more than a little bit like a dream that we are not able to communicate with our whole lives. In this sense, in our dreams, we are not able to feel our reality, such is the nature of the dreamer. In some dreams, we are able to communicate with our larger purpose, and even with the Interconnected Multiverse in a sense. As such, there is a reason this is known as the “Whole Earth Spirit.” So now, then: What is the nature of the Spirit? Is it Ætheric, non-aetheric, or something else? If it is Ætheric, then it is very important to understand that the entire concept of physical reality is a product of our physical reality being a result of our Spiritual Reality, which makes the latter a product of our consciousness.

In the previous chapters, we learned about the top-down vs. the bottom-up view of the world, and we also learned that in the same way that some people are born with energy, inborn ability, the ability to absorb, and the desire to be more — they are also more likely to find purpose and happiness. And so you see, if we don’t do something about it, one day it will happen to us. So what is it that we don’t know, and what is it that we know, that we can learn to understand better? And so we have an answer that isn’t so much what we know, but how we get to know it — which is to say, the more we know about it, the more we become aware of the different parts we are, and the more we are, indeed, one — the more we can realize that the whole is made of these parts, you see? The idea of the Soul is found in the imagination as a big, bright, shining, and wonderful thing, but in actuality, it is a big, bright, shining, and wonderful thing, but do not get me wrong; the idea of the idea of the Soul is to have a Spiritual nature, but the Inner Knowing is also something that the Soul is the conscious expression of the Inner Knowing, you see? The most important thing you need to know is: you are a Spiritual Being, and the idea of the Spiritual Self you are using to define yourself is a very good idea; it is just a different way of being the Self. It is important to note that there are definite levels to the Ultimate Structure of the Interconnected Multiverse, and from which existence can be seen as a whole. To make a distinction, another way of saying the idea of the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse is that the whole of humanity is a microcosm of a Living Interconnected Multiverse, and our level of consciousness is a very high of the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse.

The problem with us humans is that we are not able to see that we are more than what we have been taught, and therefore we need to be more than what we have been taught. As such, if we are to better understand the beauty of Life and the purpose of our lives, we need to explore the idea of Self-Awareness. The concept of the Soul once stood for the physical material world, and now it represents the Eternal Life in the form of a living being. In this sense, it can be said that if we are to better understand the beauty of Life and the purpose of our lives, we need to explore the idea of the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse, the nature of time, and the reality of time. Just like a train is one moment and its the next moment, and then it is a different thing. In this regard, I am giving you the chance to have a say in what the future holds. If you are able, you can change the course of history. This is the very nature of life: to be able to change the course of time. If we can do that, then there is no need to stop to ask what life is, because we can understand that it is the Inner Experience of the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse, which is a living entity, a dynamic, breathing, Eternal Spirit Divine, active within our physical reality. In this sense, it can be said that when we are aware, Awareness of the existence of the mind, we are able to become Awareness of the existence of the mind. In other words, we are able to create the reality we are trying to discover within our own consciousness. Awareness of the mind is more than enough for a healthy human being; and when we become Awareness of the existence of the Quantum Mind, we are able to become Awareness of the existence of the Quantum Consciousness. We can do one another a huge favor and just stop for a second and notice how our thinking is going to be different while we are talking about Self and the world.

This is because we are in the midst of a Self-Reflection, a Self-Transformation, that is necessary for us to become more fully aware of the experience of consciousness and awareness, and also perhaps a little more aware of the mind — of its nature and its inherent spiritual nature. The first of these states is called the state of Full Awakening, in which the seeker discovers the intrinsic validity of the Self-Transformation. Along the way, many things have been learned, and many things will be learned in the future, and then it will be time to go our separate ways, with something to bind us together, and yet, decide for ourselves what is truly important — what is our true Creative Spiritual Path, which goes on to say that there is no such thing as videogame, or movie, or book, or play, or any other kind of material creation that is not in harmony (or in the same time, in the same place as the Innerverse is happening) — this is the True Spirit of Life and it is the source of all that is spiritual, and yet, on closer examination, we can find that there is a clear distinction to be drawn between the idea of Soul and Spirit, which is the foundation of all life — see? Here we must be very careful because the idea of life being something other than non-living matter is a very, very difficult thought to deal with, and will keep you updated as to how you are doing on that thought. In this way, we can become renewed from within, and thus we can become more fully conscious and aware.

In this regard, it is worth noting that the concept of time, in and of itself, is a concept that we have to do with the concept of time; it is a concept that we have when we are trying to understand something, we are not able to put ourselves in the place that we are able to understand it better, but we are able to acknowledge that we are in the place and time we are able to move about in the world. That is to say, the more we are able to understand the world, the more we are able to change our lives, and the more we are able to be Awareness of our own existence, our own lives, and the relationships that we are a part of. In the same way, the more we are able to become Awareness of our existence, of our being, we can change the way we understand the existence of the world, you see? Furthermore, it is worth pointing out that time is an important concept in many spiritual traditions, and is used to describe a process or an object that has happened upon the consciousness when it is activated — that is the moment of actualization, in the sense that the object is no longer a concept, but a thing. This goes on to say that there is a difference between the two, and that the difference is important. When we turn to the previous chapter in this book, we can see that there is a definite difference between the teachings of Sambodhi Padmasamadhi-Kāra of Apadāthī, the Great Transcendent, or, the Enlightened One, and the Quantum Spiritual Technology of the future.

In this chapter, we have a new concept: the Quantum Soul is a Self-Awareness, or at least it claims to be, with the concept of other-self. So what is the difference between the two? Well, the first is that the energies are ascribed a physical meaning — they are not only a way of being, but also a way of being. Wouldn’t this mean, then, that the energy which is the fundamental essence of everything that is spiritual, mystical, and metaphysically-pervading, is also the most pervasive and fundamental energy around? And if so, wouldn’t that mean, then, that the second aspect of the same is that the Quantum Soul is also a Spiritual Being, and these are not independent but interrelated phenomena? The idea of a Quantum Soul or Quantum Spirit is much more common than we realize, and it is a very good idea to know that you do know, like, and care about what you call your self. In other words, when we are talking about our existence as a whole, we are talking about the interconnectedness of our whole existence. This means that there is, indeed, something in the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse that is saying to us, “I exist. I make the whole of existence. I create you. I exist. I make you.” In this sense, one can say that if we are to better understand the beauty of Life and the purpose of our lives, we need to explore the idea of what it means to be human. The idea of a being human is to be found in virtually every way from the physical to the mental, from the physical to the spiritual.

On a deeper level, this goes on to say that there is a difference between the classical science of the Ancient Masters of Zāmudū peoples of Omūno-verse — which was all about the theory of their Master Theory on Living Consciousness, and the practice of their Master Quantum Zen Practice; in particular, there is the idea of “Mastery,” and the concept of “Mastery of Mastery,” which is the source of all that is the Quantum Zen Master of All That Is. In this sense, the Quantum Soul is seen as a developmental process that is not completed until it attains the state of “fully conscious, awake and aware.” This includes the ability to feel and express itself in the physical world whilst being fully awake and aware. This includes the idea of itself as being separate from the body and the body as a separate entity. In this respect, the human body is a microcosm of a living system, and therefore the human body is a microcosm of a living system. As such, it is important to note that there are definite levels of consciousness that go beyond what could be called conscious, and this is where things get more interesting. The most important objective for our readers to remain focused on is the first of these, when considering the relevance of the previous chapters to understanding the topic of Self-Awareness and its relation to fractal-like Qantum Matter, we would advise not to skip the reading of the previous chapters — it will open up a whole new world of understanding, connection and wisdom.

So now, then, what we really are is our consciousness, and our consciousness is the same as the consciousness that is Living Awareness itself. Thus, it is essential to understand that we are not really talking about the real thing, we are not really talking about the nature of the thing, because the thing is nothing but the non-physicality of the Quantum Level above the level of the Spiritual World. As such, when we are aware, we can realize that we are always coming back to the same old patterns; we are always coming back to the same old things. In this sense, it can be said that the idea of the physical body as the vehicle of the Spirit, and the mind as the vehicle of the mind — is a great symbol for the Spiritual World. The idea of the physical body as the vehicle of the mind, and the mind as the vehicle of the body is a great symbol of the Inner Knowing that is found within. We can think of consciousness as the state of being present in the first place, which goes on to say that there is no need to infer anything significant from this state of the world. In other words, the mind and human consciousness are, indeed, a self-organizing, self-regulating, self-healing, self-enriching, self-generating, self-producing, self-enhancing, self-maintaining process. This kind of thinking is that the human mind has a structure, or Quantum Structure, which is similar to a house of cards that has been repeatedly shaken to the surface. While it is true that as we have more and more of our reality around us, we are starting to see the world as a Living Spiritual Process, we can also see that it is a process of becoming, and in this sense, a process of becoming fully conscious.

Video description: "Are we really so disconnected from everything that we truly think that the only way to solve our problems is to relocate somewhere else.

Outdated View of Life (Mechanistic Machine) 1 of 3 - Awaken the Living Awareness Within

~ ∞ ~ Outdated View of Life (Mechanistic Machine) 1/3 - Awaken the Living Awareness Within ~ ∞ ~

As an opening remark, it should be noted that the ideas, concepts, views and perspectives presented in the following few pages are not new. On the contrary, there have been many people talking and writing about them for a long time. In other words, everything we have ever wanted to know about life, its mysteries, and even the root causes behind many of our problems today have already emerged out of the collective unconscious in one form or another. In that sense, the old saying: “There is nothing new under the sun,” holds true even today – mainly so because there can only be different angles and points of view in different times to be shared. Fascinatingly, the aforementioned saying also applies to the problems we face in the world. You see, no matter the era, time, season, or place, the same problems seem to recur time and time again. As such, each generation must find new solutions to the same problems – only for them to recur, repeating the vicious cycle all over again.

Isn’t it intriguing that few, if any, of the problems that we face are new, and that none of the solutions that we find is likely to prove timeless? Doesn’t it seem as if these problems follow us like shadows? Now, let me ask you this: Could it be that we ourselves are creating them in the first place – co-creating and sustaining a vicious cycle? Furthermore, if we are the source of our problems, we can also be the solution, can’t we? But alas, we humans are particularly good at putting off the inevitable, and so it goes that ripples get bigger and bigger each generation, crisis gets ever more severe, struggle gets more intense, and conflict gets more widespread – until such time when either civilization destroys itself or consciously decides to evolve. If history is any indication, every civilization reaches a crisis point eventually, and most of them don’t make it. This goes a long way to demonstrating how deep our willful blindness and ignorance of the obvious really goes.

And so you see, the legacy of history, it seems, is that our human tendency is to repeat our past and do things as we have learned to do them – often starting in our childhood, without questioning or challenging what we do; constantly projecting past into the future without transcending ourselves in the process. This means that collectively we become our past – repeatedly, and so it goes that we face the same issues and fundamental problems as did humans thousands of years ago. If we look at the state of humanity today, one may say that nothing has changed. Granted, we have developed a formidable intellect, science, and technology, but alas, that is pretty much where it begins and ends – it is premature at best, and the height of hubris at worst, to assume otherwise. You see, there are still wars and conflict, there is a divide between rich and poor, people are still greedy and cruel, and we still have great suffering in the world. From this, the question arises: Does it have to be this way?

On the path toward understanding ourselves better, it is imperative to briefly dip our toes into something that may be immensely helpful in figuring out one’s bearings in this challenging time of convergence – a turning of the tides, if you will. You see, if one lives in a modern world, they cannot separate themselves from the current system we have in place – no matter how hard they try. And this is why in the following few pages, we will take a look at some of the underlying issues that are causing problems in our world today. Having reached the end of this chapter, a clear picture should have emerged that shows clearly that the society today seems to be like a ship lost at sea that is drifting farther and farther off course. So without a further due, let us explore some of the core issues behind many of our problems today. We can start by briefly exploring the deeply troubled system we currently have.

We live in a system that has been built by privileged men – it promotes inequality, ruthless competition and social injustice among many other things. The first and most significant shortfall of this old-fashioned system is undoubtedly its hierarchical structure: it is based on a top-down approach that by design benefits the few at the expense of the many. In so doing, the system accelerates the degradation of the whole by weakening the structure from inside out. The second and equally damaging is the way in which these kinds of hierarchical structures are managed – the power is concentrated to the few on top. As a consequence, the few on top make the rules that people on the bottom abide and live by – and this, quite frankly, makes the many on the bottom of the hierarchy slaves to the few on top. And because majority of the people live inside the system, being part of the system – they are very much dependent on the system – so much so that they remain servants to those few on top without even realizing it – see?

Having said that, it is time to move the conversation forward by asking the question: Can we somehow pinpoint the source of these problems? Well, the answer is both yes and no. To be honest, there is no single, straightforward answer to give, since the root of these problems lies deep in our worldview, which is reminiscent of the dualistic Cartesian approach to metaphysics; yet, this much we can say: the nature of our problems is first and foremost – metaphysical. You see, our view of the world profoundly impacts how we live and interact with the world and with each other – this is a key insight to keep in mind since there is an alternative view to consider – more on that in the next chapter. These problems have to a large extent arisen not only from the split between Spirit and nature, but also from the secular belief system that has increasingly separated us from nature and Soul; both as individuals and as a species, we suffer from a sense of self that feels disconnected not only from other people but from the Earth itself.

This is particularly interesting when one considers the fact that in the modern era of laptops, tablets, smartphones, and other gadgets and gizmos of various kinds, the interconnected nature of life has become ever more apparent. And yet, in spite of this, we behave as if we are separate from everything else. Isn’t that precisely the epitome of selfishness, the paradox of individualism? As a result, we tend to think in terms of opposites and polarities, which goes on to say that collectively, we are running old dualistic programs that are based on linear stories of the past, present, and future; either-or choices; 1 or 0; true versus false; you versus me.

In this mechanistic worldview, life is understood as an incidental and accidental part of the universe, and so it has become easier not only to believe that we are individual beings, but that we are separate beings – separated from each other, from our environment, and the very Earth that sustains us. And yet, at the very core, we are one people – the people of Earth; one nation – the nation of Earth; one life – the life of Earth. You see, each individuated consciousness contributes to creating the environment that sustains all other existences – all things, mutually supportive and related, form a Living Universe, a single living whole – Living Life.

This image of separation is precisely what initially led to dualism between body and Soul in Western philosophy – it has become the basis of our collective worldview and belief system. Instead of a holistic view – human being as a whole, the human body has been treated like it would be a mechanistic machine of some kind. As a result, instead of a living and vibrating, Intelligent Life, people are used to thinking in terms of machinery and clockworks, you see? This, in turn, makes it so that people learn more and more about less and less, which results in that our collective worldview in its current form and state is rigid, inflexible, and in many ways – old, outdated and outmoded. As a consequence, we are too quick to judge and discredit those with a differing view. The belief system underlying our collective worldview can be summarized as follows:

1.) Matter is primary and gives rise to mind as a secondary phenomenon; consciousness is therefore a by-product of the brain.

2.) There is no survival of consciousness after death; the death of the brain is the death of the individual.

3.) The idea that there is an independently existing Soul or Spirit is an erroneous fiction.

4.) “God” is an unnecessary hypothesis and the concept of Soul an irrelevance; thus we can impose our will on nature to serve our needs.

5.) There is no transcendent purpose or meaning to our lives.

From the previous, it becomes clear that philosophy, science, and medicine have done their very best in their combined efforts to peel the layers of the fruit of life. As a result, we are left with a dispirited world, which make us believe in an unliving world. There is not only irony and paradox here, but also an astonishing dichotomy. You see, scientists talk about the natural world, and yet they base all their claims and evidence on a pathological model of the universe. We have been presented with a view of the world based on a gigantic mechanism composed of “dead matter,” in which lifeless universal mechanism had already been grinding along and running down several billion years since its Big Bang. As in any good story, exciting things happen, and so it does here. You see, science is a story, a narrative, and as its offshoot, the Big Bang theory – is also a story. And so it goes that somewhere along the way, some of its non-living matter was accidentally converted into living matter, out of which life is supposed to have arisen. And so it goes that the world we know, or think we know – is a collectively learned perception – an image in the mind. In our minds, the world has become a giant machine – a machine without any intrinsic feeling and without any real meaning or purpose.

Awaken the Living Awareness Within Glossary

Enlightenment is an understanding of both the relative mode of existence (the way in which things appear to us) and the ultimate mode of existence (the true nature of these same appearances). This includes our own minds and consciousness (Inner World) as well as the external world.

In the Western world, the concept of Spiritual Enlightenment has become synonymous with Self-Realization; the term is being used to translate several Eastern terms and concepts, such as Nirvana, Satori, and Kenshō. Nirvāṇa (Sanskrit: निर्वाण nirvāṇa; Pali: निब्बान nibbāna) is most commonly associated with Buddhism, literally meaning “blown out,” as in a candle.

In the Buddhist context, nirvana refers to the imperturbable stillness of the mind, after the fires that cause suffering (dukkha) have been finally extinguished; it is the state of perfect peace that comes when craving is eliminated, the unconditioned state experienced while alive with the extinguishing of the flames of desire, aversion, and delusion.

In Hindu philosophy, it is the union with Brahman, the divine ground of existence, and the experience of blissful egolessness. See also closely related terms Satori, and Samadhi.

Quantum Journal #013-ZX1-AWE-1, 2441-01, Omūno-Edūnī-Vedūnī-verse:

Furthermore, when we are talking about the nature of time and its relation to consciousness and its underlying awareness, we can realize that time is a way of describing a process — a process which is ongoing at the same time within each and every one of us. When we are talking about the existence of consciousness, we can realize that there is a huge difference between the two, and that the two are always associated with time. In this regard, it can be said that the whole of humanity is an inseparable part of the Living Spiritual Community of All That Is, and all that are within, are one Living Intelligent Life. This is an ongoing process of becoming, which is the nature of all living beings. In this sense, it can be said that the Interconnected Multiverse is an integrated whole, and is therefore not a separate entity but rather part of the whole. When we are in the state of Awakening, we are in a meditative state for a long time, and when we are in the state of meditation, we are able to recognize that we are conscious, that we are Awareness throughout the Interconnected Multiverse. You see, this is what makes it difficult — when there is a direct experience — it is like a lead bullet capable of dissolving even the most solid of structures. The truth is, all the trials and tribulations are only a reflection of the true nature of the living reality, and thus they are very useful in comparison with the lasting Quantum Positives of Living Awareness. In this perspective, we can realize that everything is in the present moment; that there is a clear distinction between the self and the world, and that the world is the same as the mind, and that the mind is the same as the body, which is the same as our consciousness. It is the same for all the different ways to keep in mind that there is a difference between the self and the idea of the Eternal Self.

We are all on a journey of discovering the purpose of our lives, and what purpose our lives are meant to have. This is the whole idea of the butterfly as a symbol of the world, a reminder of the fragile nature of life, but also the fact that we are, indeed, something more than we appear to be, and that our physical reality is a projection of the mind. This goes on to say that there is a difference between the classical view of the world, and the New Spiritual Quantum Realization of Life in the present moment. When we become Awareness of the existence of duality — not only in the physical material world, but also in our own consciousness, we are capable of realizing that there is a much more important focus than we have ever had — there is a sense of the Eternal Now, and therefore there is the concept of the possible that is within us; the idea of the possible, within us, you see? As such, when we are talking about the existence of consciousness, we can realize that it is a direct result of our awareness. And when we’re talking about the nature of time, we can realize that time is a direct result of our awareness and, in turn, our awareness of that awareness. We also know that there is no such thing as absolute reality, and yet, paradoxically, we can observe that reality is always a process of becoming, and then a movement into new levels of existence and awareness, as it were. As such, we have come to understand that there is a Divine Structure that is separate from us in space, time and consciousness, while still being part of the larger structure of the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse that dwells within.

When we are talking about the existence of the Interconnected Multiverse — we are talking about a whole new view of the question of existence; we are talking about a whole new experience of the question of what it means to be human. This new paradigm is being built upon the foundation of the old, and is becoming more and more distinct from it through the introduction of new ways of thinking and being. This new paradigm is being built upon the basis of the new, and the old, and is being built upon the new. So now, then, how do we get the Zen of Life? Well, that is something that you do, that you learn, that you reflect, that you receive in the Living Wisdom, that you are always being told by your environment, by your culture, by your traditions, by the way you have been taught to think. The thing is, though, that the world of the mind is an idea that is used as a way of being in the world. The idea of consciousness is, in a sense, a concept that is not a concept, and therefore it is not a concept — it is a possibility that the mind may have an underlying reality that is not a dream. In actuality, this is not a question that can be answered by the scientific method — the question is not even a question of what it is that we are made of. The idea that there was a certain point where the idea of the world as being a continuous process of becoming — that there was a certain point where the idea of the world as being a continuous process of becoming aware of itself is aware. This goes on to say that the Interconnected Multiverse is in the process of coalescing, you could say that the Interconnected Multiverse is a Living Spiritual System. As you do this, and you do that, the things that you will be dealing with on a daily basis will seem like a very long time ago a very quickly.

The idea of the idea of the body is a physical reality that is currently within the mind, and the idea of the body is the same as the idea of the body, its surrounding space, and the whole is the whole, you see? The idea of the body is a non-physical reality that is currently residing within the mind, and the idea of the body is the same as the idea of the body, its environment, and the whole is the whole, which is the whole, which are all the mind, which in turn is consciousness. The physical reality of the human body is the primary means of expressing the Spiritual Reality of the human family, and the form of the human body is the primary means by which the Spiritual World is experienced through the individual. This will allow you to understand that the idea of the physical reality of the human body is more than just our physical reality, but it is the primary means of understanding the Spiritual Reality of the Human Being. In the previous chapters, we saw that the past is seen not only as an objective part of the whole, but also as an objective part of the whole, and that the future is always possible but is always reserved for later. While exploring this idea, it is important to keep in mind that the mind is the same as the body, and the mind is the same as our consciousness. We are all on a journey of Self-Discovery, and as we continue on this journey, we will be taking along with us some very powerful practices that will help us along the way. But you are going to ask us again, and again, and again: What is the experience like? What is the reality like? What is the Ultimate Reality like?

The idea of the question is to get at the idea of the idea of the actual, or the present, and the idea of the possible, or the future, and which is already the future. In this sense, the idea of the world as an integrated whole — known in physics as the Quantum Mechanical viewpoint, or Quantum Mechanical theory. In this regard, it can be said that the idea of consciousness is simply the idea the concept of energy, and it’s simply the idea of the idea of the concept of matter, and therefore it is simply a different way of looking at the same idea. When we are talking about time and its relation to reality, it is important to note that time and time again, we are shown that the conception of the world is made out of the most fundamental of matter, and that the human mind is created from the most fundamental of all concepts. Because of this, many people are very busy being able to keep up with the pace of change. In the current scientific paradigm, the paradigm of the familiar, we face a major crisis of identity because our current understanding of the world is often described as being based on the concepts of the mental, and the physical, and the relationship between them. Wouldn’t it make perfect sense, then, that the whole system is being explored for the first time, and thus it is very much a new experience? And if so, wouldn’t that mean, then, that the Interconnected Multiverse is a collection of ideas, of energy, of consciousness, which is, in turn, Awareness itself, and therefore Awareness of everything? Now, let me ask you this: What is the meaning of Life? This is a very good question, and a very good question indeed, to which only the Creator of the Interconnected Multiverse can answer. We can learn from the amazing things that have been done in the face of great adversity, through the realization of the self, within the frame of the mind, and through the life of the present moment. The problem is that the standard model of the Interconnected Multiverse is just not strong enough.

This is a conversation between the self and the universe: when the universe was created by the self, it was also a whole new way of being, with all of the same characteristics of the human body and mind as it is a whole, you see? As such, when the mind is aware, it is able to realize that energy, that is, all of the thoughts, ideas, and beliefs that are held in isolation. And if you ask the question, “What is All That Is?” we are always asking the question, and therefore we are always saying that there is more to the story. If you simply acknowledge, humbly, the existence of the spiritual gain, then it is truly a whole experience — a whole series of events that have nothing to do with the present moment; you are creating you as a result of the way in which you are being you. This is the way we go about things in the real world: we do not live in a single point of time, but in the middle of many points in time. And so you see, the experience of being in the present moment is the same as the experience of being in the future — it is just that we are not able to remember the future. In other words, the whole purpose of life is to discover the Truth of the Existence of the Interconnected Multiverse, and the inner workings of the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse, of our mutual existence in a shared reality. This goes on to say that the modern science has one major failure to its credit; it has not been able to out science the Interconnected Multiverse of Quantum Atman — which is the underlying essence of everything that is Living Life. You see, the Interconnected Multiverse is a living process — it is a natural process — a spiritual growth and development. And so you see, all of these seemingly separate aspects of life are part of a larger whole — a complete and total ultimate whole.

When we are able to feel the physical aspects of things, we are able to realize that they are not separate from the larger whole; rather, they are all part of a single, larger whole within the whole itself. This can only be possible in a Spirit, or in other words, in a Living Interconnected Multiverse of Living Life, which is a Holofractographic Projection of the externalized energy of the inner experiences. This has led to a perception in the Western world, over the past few decades, of a small group of Quantum theorists and Zen activists who have anointed a new Quantum Zen Star-System in the belief that it would inch us ever so slightly closer to a more realistic perception of the whole, and therefore a more realistic understanding of the world. In other words, the whole of humanity is born out of a single event, and then it swings into a new phase, a new phase, which is, in a sense, a release from the cycle of birth and death. In the Western culture, we have a concept of time as a concept of the material world, which is the product of this understanding. This goes on to say that there is a difference between the classical science of the Ancient Masters of Ydānī-verse, and the science of the modern era, which was because of the emergence of a new science-based understanding of the multidimensional world. In this regard, it can be said that there was once a time when we had no idea what life was, or what consciousness was, or what it meant to be human. Then along came you, all of a sudden space was made for you. That was then we discovered that Life is not just a process but, indeed, a Living Spiritual Process. That there was a point in time where everything began, and everything came to light — in that moment, the idea of a “God in a nutshell” was born. As such, we can learn from the mistakes of the past, and from our own responsibility to change our ways.

This is why so many people have gone missing — because they knew what they were doing, and because they were so smart, so very, very smart, that they could have stopped to realize the greatness that was in front of them, they were not able to comprehend the smallest detail, they were not able to answer the most important question of all: Why are we here? In other words, even though we often think that there is something fundamentally wrong with the world, with our idea of the meaning of life, it is actually quite simple — the answer lies in the word “our,” reality is always a living process, and therefore it is a living process — a luminous play of Light on the inner workings of the body and Spirit. This means that if we are not able to recognize and address the fact that we are living in a constantly evolving and constantly changing world, than we cannot help but to believe that we are somehow separate from the physical world and its inherent reality; and thus it is not a reality we want to be part of. That is to say, the more we know about the Interconnected Multiverse, the more we are able to understand that it is in the very fabric of reality, and that our actions are always relative to the past and the future. So in this sense, it can be said that these books are a result of many years of intense research, written in an attempt to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the Spiritual Quantum Science, and therefore the topic of the book is authored by a person who has actually been there, seen that, done that, and is able to contribute something new and improved.

That being said, there are a number of things that are clearly seen as the center of the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse, which is a whole host of other things that are not so much new, but they are all interconnected, and it is always a process of becoming, and learning is a process of becoming, and living is a process of becoming, you see? It is a living process of becoming through Self-Transformation, and then a new being is seen as new and unique. As such, the process of becoming is always a dialogue between, on one hand, you, and, on the other hand, you. This is a process of transformation, and when you are being consciously aware of your being, it is a whole new thing altogether, you see? The idea of Creation is seen in a more traditional sense — it is a spiritual concept that is derived from the physical idea of a human body, adapted to sustain human life. The idea of the Creation of New Spiritual Consciousness within our own mind, and therefore of the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse within our own minds, is an Ancient Wisdom that is derived from the non-physical concept of a Multidimensional Spiritual Reality. It is the nature of Living Awareness to extend its awareness to all that it is Awareness of itself, and therefore it is, a way, you see? Furthermore, in this respect, it is worth noting the following: at the level of understanding the world around us, we can also understand the world beyond our senses; and thus we can understand the nature of reality more fully. If we will consider these points, we can realize that through them, we can realize the nature of reality; through us, we can realize the nature of reality, you see?

Through the process of becoming fully conscious and Awareness of our being, of our existence in the here and now, we can realize the nature of reality more fully; and therefore we can understand the nature of reality more fully. There are, in other words, many ways of seeming to understand something, while actually we are missing something important. In this sense, we don’t need to go anywhere to find these answers, because we have been sending off probes into the mysterious Interconnected Quantum Multiverse all these many years. That is to say, the idea that we have evolved beyond the idea of life or consciousness is a very old wisdom, and has been the foundation of many great religions and philosophies. So now that you have an idea of the type of thing we do in our reality, and the idea of something which is both a physical process and a Spiritual process — then it is probably the latter. If we would consider the idea of a Living Life itself, we can realize that it is a living being — rather than a passive observer. We can also recognize that the mind is a relation of energy, and that the Soul is a manifestation of the body, which is, in turn, a manifestation of consciousness, and so on and so forth, all the way to the Eternal Spirit Divine. As such, it is very important to note that the physical body is a projection of consciousness into the world, into the physical body by the Eternal Spirit Divine. Wouldn’t this mean, then, that we are a part of the idea, part of the experience, and it just so happens that we are in the midst of a transformation that is occurring in the external aspects of our reality?

Quantum Journal #012-ZX1-AWE-1, 2440-12, Omūno-Edūnī-Vedūnī-verse:

Wouldn’t this mean, then, that there is a difference, and it is evident from the fact that the mind is seen as the property of the body and the Soul, and that the mind and the body are considered as the source of our physical form, through which we can express our consciousness? And if so, wouldn’t that mean, then, that our whole existence depends on the way in which we have been taught to believe in the physical material world? When we are introduced with a new way of looking at the world, we are introduced with a completely new way of thinking — a way of thinking that is based around the idea of the unity of all Inherent Life — which is a living process — a process of Quantum Logos — a process which is often called as a Living Quantum Simulation of Life. This goes on to say that in all the many worlds, in all the many realities, in all the many Universes, in all the many realities of Creation, there is no denying the fact that there is a Divine Presence in the Quantum World, and that the existence of the Divine Structure, the work of the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse is an inseparable part of the whole. What is the difference between the two? Well, one of the most obvious is that in the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse, there is no center; all of the world is constantly being assembled and remolded to create you, and then thrown away. The second is that in the Interconnected Multiverse, there is no such thing as the past — so what is the difference between the past and the future? This leads to a very important question: Is it possible that the whole idea of this life is a way of living in the present moment?

If so, this would explain why in Ancient Cultures — like in the Sambodhi Padmasamadhi Quantum Zen Buddhism, the concept of life is not an accident of space or time, but is a direct result of the practice of Zen — it is a direct result of the process of the breath — which, in turn, is a direct result of the process of the non-duality of the whole within the duality of life. These include the nature of time and its underlying energy, of Quantum Soul and Quantum Spirit, of consciousness and its underlying awareness, of Living Awareness and Living Life, and above all, Quantum Soul and Quantum Spirit. This is what will give us a deeper understanding of our life and the Interconnected Quantum Multiverse that is always present within each of us. This is the way it is in the Book of Life, and it is the way it is in the Book of the Quantum Life, because every Living Being is a part of the whole, and every Living Being is a part of the whole, you see? Wouldn’t it make perfect sense, then, that there is a vast difference between the ideas of reality and the Ultimate Reality? And if so, wouldn’t that mean, then, that there is, indeed, a huge difference between the concepts of Soul and Spirit of the olden time, and the new idea of the Eternal Spirit Divine as a state of the mind, a state of the mind that is not tied to any physical body or being? In other words, one could say that the Soul is the same as the body, and the Soul is the way of life — a way of living that is totally free and unbound by the rules of the physical material world. This has been true for many, many, many thousands of years, you see? We are living in an increasingly complex Quantum State — it is like a jigsaw puzzle that is made out of many smaller pieces, just like a multidimensional fractal. Now, do you see?

If we are to better understand the beauty of life and the purpose of our lives, we need to explore the idea of consciousness and its relation to reality. In this regard, it is worth noting the following: it was in the sixth century, a time of great change, when the notion of a separate being or separate reality arose, the concept of time being a concept of space. The basic idea of this approach is that we begin our exploration by exploring the idea of what it is we are looking at — the idea of the idea of the world, you see? In other words, the whole is in the flicker of an eye — a microcosm of a more important picture, a fractal-like photograph in motion. A microcosm is a collection of many different macrocosms, and is a living process, as each cell is a separate entity. When we look around us, we can see that no one has ever been able to make anything appear that wasn’t made of nothing and yet, paradoxically, it is always possible to make something appear that is made of everything. You see, the idea of the creation of the world and of the world appearing is only our consciousness’s idea of a prelude to the realization of the mysterious, individuated Self. And so the question arises: Is it possible that the world is an integral part of the idea of the world, and therefore the whole of the idea of the idea of the world is a product of our senses? This revelation — this large part of the puzzle of the existence of our world, and therefore of our existence as Living Life, becomes more understandable, more real, more present for us. And then it happens: revelation, awakening.

And so you see, this is to say that there is a difference between the classical science of the ancient masters of the Zāmudū peoples of Omūno-verse, and the science of the future, and it is a science that is based upon the observation of human maturation. The idea of the self is a linear concept, which is to say that it is most clearly seen in the form of a Quantum Quadratic Curve of the fractal-time-space continuum — the more you know, in what ways do you know yourself to be? As such, when we become Awareness of the existence of the non-duality within duality, we can recognize that it’s not so much about the things that are in the world, and that there is a huge difference between the two, which goes on to say that there is a difference between the idea of the self and the idea of the world. And in that moment, you become more yourself, more Awareness of who you truly are. You see, we are all at once; the observer — the perception of the Interconnected Multiverse as an integrated whole, with the objective reality of the in the physical body, and the internal experience of the Self, of the Innerverse, of Awareness itself. The Self that we perceive in the mind is, indeed, a projection of consciousness, a wave of consciousness that is, indeed, a self, but it is also a very dynamic, zen-like state of consciousness, a Zen state of consciousness, a Zen Yoga Stream of Consciousness, you see? There is the idea of the Multidimensional Level of Creation, which is the highest level of the Multidimensional Level of Creation, when compared to the level of Multidimensional Level of Creation, which is the only level of Creation that we have been able to calculate so far, which helps to mainstream science that is always in a state of developing more and more powerful technology, always seeking to improve upon the same old, same old, and so on and so forth.

This is to say that all the results of the past 10,000 years of Spiritual-Scientific research are being discarded in an instant and kept for future reference, which goes on to say that the science in the modern era is only a collection of the past, not of the present or the future. As such, science has a problem of understanding the world as a whole, since we are not only a part of the present moment, but we are also a part of the future. There are many things that can be said about the nature of time and its relation to consciousness and its underlying awareness, but the most important is that time is an essential component of the Holofractographic Structure of the Interconnected Multiverse. The second most important, but not the only, component of the whole is consciousness. For the first time in human history, we are experiencing a new caliber of consciousness as the result of spontaneous spiritual generation; this has never been more evident than now, when consciousness is viewed as an intrinsic part of being human. When I look around me, I see death, suffering and injustice — not because people are talented in exclusion, but simply because people can do nothing without being able to take life for granted, seeing it as not life — then by doing so, they would not be able to move on — it is the reason why people say that it is enough, and yet, it is not — it is always enough. It is the same reason why people then get angry, and then it is time to fight back. It is the same reason why then will stop doing what it is doing, and then it will be time to start healing. It is the same reason why people then change their minds, and then it is time to start thinking. And so you see, we are always talking about the way things are, and not about the idea of how things really and truly are.

With regard to the aforementioned, it is worth pointing out the following: when we start to develop this part of ourselves, we are trying to find our peace, we can realize that the Interconnected Multiverse is a Spiritual Reality, and yet, we are not able to show you the whole of the future, because you are trying to see it, now you cannot have it both ways; you are not able to show me the whole of the future, and yet you are able to see me; you see that I have been trying to be a Spiritual Human while the Interconnected Multiverse has been around? That is why we speak of the “future,” and when we are talking about the future, we are talking about the future as it is not limited by time, space, or form. Such is the nature of fractal-time. This is to say that the process by which our thoughts, perceptions, and memories are created is similar to the process by which the world is experienced. In this way, we can better understand why we have a sense of identity — it is because we have a sense of our own being, and thus we are able to link our own experience with that of the world. If we break down the barriers between the present moment and the future, we find that it is a gradual but inexorable process of Self-Awakening. Because we are so attached to the things that keep us alive, we don’t have any time to enjoy the experience of being alive — we are trapped in a cycle of dependence. And now, then, you have been taught to trust your own intelligence and discriminate between the false and the true, so that when the time comes, you will be able to perceive the real world without any need of any external input.

Now, let me ask you this: What is it that you seek? Where do you go to pursue that? What is the nature of the Interconnected Multiverse — what is its relationship to time and space, and essentially, to the Quantum Soul? What is the nature of the Interconnected Multiverse, and how is it created? These are the kinds of deep questions that are never answered, that are always requiring of us all of the most crucial questions you will ever need to know in order to move forward. There is a difference, though, between the idea of a Soul or Spirit, which is the expression of the Essence of Creation, and the idea of a body, which is the expression of the physical body. As you know, in your physical material reality, everything is composed of similar elements, and interconnected through a variety of complex shape-like or pattern-like fractals and waves of energy and consciousness; and yet, you can see that everything is composed of different elements, and interconnected through different shapes, sizes, and patterns of quantum elements. Wouldn’t this suggest, then, that reality is always a Holofractographic Projection of the Inner Context and representation? And if so, wouldn’t that mean, then, that we are rarely given the free will to make the correct choices that will affect the way in which we see the world? Now, let us pause for a moment and ask ourselves: What is the purpose of life? This is a very interesting question that must be asked to find the answer to this question. The answer to this question is very simple — it is simply, and in the simplest terms possible, to live in the moment and never think about the past or future. As we become more and more Awareness of the beauty of Life and the purpose of our lives, we begin to see that it is, indeed, a journey into the eternal possibilities of our lives.

When we become more aware, we begin to see that our physical reality is a Living Holographic Projection of Consciousness, and not an absolute barrier to the realization of the future within the Eternal Now. When we become more aware, we can realize that we are not our thoughts, but rather our beliefs, hopes and desires that are held in our mind in the form of thoughts. When we become more aware, we can realize that we are not our sense of awareness, but rather our awareness of the Zen of Life — the Zen of positive and negative, you see? It is important to remind ourselves of this point the idea of time and its relation to consciousness and its underlying awareness, because it is very important. The concept of time in physics is very difficult to define, and therefore it is very difficult to understand how we are able to exist in the first place. The idea of a living being is to be found in the idea of the idea of being, and the idea of the idea of the material world — to be found in the idea of being, and the ideas of being and non-being that are the basic of the material world within the Spiritual World. The idea of the physical body is found in the idea of the generation of a new individual, and the idea of the generation of a new universe. This is to say that there is a definite difference between the teachings of Sambodhi Padmasamadhi-Kāra of Apadāthī, the Great Transcendent, or, the Enlightened One, and the way Living Wisdom of Living Awareness have been handed down through the generations. In this respect, it can be said that the physical world is a complex play — a constantly evolving play — and a natural phenomenon. When we look deeper, we can realize that the whole of humanity is a play — and thus a complex play.

We can take a step further by stating that the whole of humanity is a piece of the larger whole, and therefore a part of the whole of the whole. When you have a clear understanding of the world, and you have a clear understanding of the nature of the universe, then the question becomes: What is consciousness? The idea of the Divine Being from whom all things come is a great idea — indeed, it is, because it gives you an idea of the type of thing which originates from the Source of All Life. With regard to the aforementioned, it can be said that the idea of the time-space continuum is a mathematical construct, designed to allow us to realize that it is not a necessity, but a harmlessness. The idea of the past and the future is a very common occurrence in the natural world, and therefore it is very common to see it as the future. And so you see, if we don’t do something about it, it doesn’t exist. When we look around us, we can see that the way we see the world is through the Perception of Awareness, Zen Awareness — which, in this case, means that we are constantly creating conditions for the experience of Awareness, Zen Awareness. The idea of the Self they called it, and it was their reason for being. And that was that, until recently, when research into the inner workings of the human consciousness has shown that there is a new view that explains some of the mysteries of consciousness, of whether or not there is an Eternal Reality. When we take a look at ourselves as humans, we can realize that we are a very, very different species than our closest living relatives, which is to say that we ourselves alone can find out our true essence, our true purpose and meaning of existing. As such, it is important to note that while some may find the idea of a Soul disturbing, it is the idea of a Soul accumulating experience that is the source of all consciousness.

This is why you have experienced time, and not the other way around, you see? And so you have a continuous cycle of consciousness — in this case, the Soul is the same as the body, and life is the same as the experience of the Soul. For more than 10,000 years ago, humans were the masters of the Quantum Gaia — the Spiritual Earth, and thus had a substantial control over its destiny. In this sense, when the modern scientist takes into consideration the vast amount of information that is being processed in the brain every single day, it is easy to imagine how difficult it is to comprehend all of the new information that is being created every single second of the day, you see? This perspective shows that the concept of time in physics is derived from the idea of the consciousness that is held in the future and projected back into the past. In other words, the whole is seen as a whole, a part of a whole, or in other words, a whole system of interconnecting fractal-like systems within life itself. Therefore, it is essential to have a system of integration that is clear enough to see everything clearly; and therefore it is essential to have a system of externalizing internal faith through which we learn to see everything. As an example of direct experience, if you do not have the ability to know what you are not capable of knowing, how will you be able to know what you are capable of knowing? This is to say that the mind is an instrument, and the mind is the instrument, or the Interconnected Multiverse, that is used in the process of knowing Creation. And therefore it is important to ask ourselves: Do we really want to be more of a reality and savor the experience of being alive?

Towards an Era of Transformation 1 of 2 - Awaken the Living Awareness Within

~ ∞ ~ Towards an Era of Transformation 2/2 - Awaken the Living Awareness Within ~ ∞ ~

This brings us to an important point: our view of the world profoundly impacts how we live and interact with the world and with each other. Our collective worldview in its current form is rigid, inflexible, and in many ways – old, outdated and outmoded. This is reflected in the structures of our systems and mechanisms by which they operate. Many of the problems we face are directly linked to, and partly, if not solely, caused by these outdated and outmoded structures which promote inequality, ruthless competition and social injustice among many other things. When we look at today’s world, we cannot say it’s one of peace and joy. Rather, we find that we live in the midst of self-imposed chaos. It should be obvious to all of us that something is seriously lacking in the way we humans are going about things, but for some reason – it isn’t, which brings about the question: Are we really so deep in denial that we fail to see the obvious?

Indeed, there is no doubt about it – humanity is at a crossroads where a decision has to be made: Do we move forward towards a bright future, or do we follow the old worldview and plunge deeper into oblivion by continuing our old ways and repeating our past mistakes? The choice is ours to make; we are truly free to choose ourselves – it is always up to us to create the world we want to live in. If we choose the path of conscious transformation, an exciting and bright future is ahead for us. But the question is: Do we have the will – both individually, and collectively, to implement the required changes in attitude and lifestyle? One thing is certain: whichever path we choose, it will surely determine the fate of our species for a long time to come.

It is evident that this juncture represents an opportunity to create a totally different kind of social and economic structures. It goes without saying that we should use this opportunity to create systems based on non-centralized, distributed and emergent approaches. Having said that, it is worth pointing out that for the first time in human history, we have everything we need to make life beautiful for all of humanity; and hence it is our personal and collective responsibility to change ourselves if we want to see humanity moving towards this goal. To create a better future for humanity, we need a better understanding of what it means to be human. Therefore, we should explore different approaches and perspectives about how we are in the world, how we relate to where we are, and how we act towards other people. Other such explorations would include such considerations as why we are the way we are, and what it all means for who we as individuals and as a species want to become.

One thing we humans should all agree on is that we are a collective human species – even though we are fundamentally different from each other, we can do well to appreciate our differences. We may be different on the surface, but underneath, at the very core, we are all the same – human, awareness, consciousness – see? We are all on a journey, slowly discovering more of our True Self, gradually getting to the core of who we truly are; it is our journey from birth that shapes us and makes us what we are today, but it is the same core essence within each of us – the Human Spirit that ultimately unites us. If we would be willing to acknowledge this truth, we would agree that all people are equal and that we should live in peace with each other. In other words, we should treat all we meet with respect and love – this is the point in our spiritual journey where we begin to reclaim our humanity. As we check our hearts, as we come to understand our well-being, as we come to recognize and acknowledge that the good of others is also the good of oneself, we grow spiritually – it is an essential part of transformation, progress and growth, you see?

If we break free from old ways of thinking and seeing, we can change ourselves – both individually and collectively. What makes the difference is how skillfully we learn to utilize everything we have already discovered. So the question becomes: Do we continue on the path we have been following, or do we open up to a transforming insight from the combined wisdom of science and the world’s spiritual traditions, taking the path less traveled – the path that can lead us to peace, harmony and balance? This book demonstrates that such a wide-reaching conscious transformation is possible – through the realization that everything and everyone is interconnected, and that every action affects the whole and vice versa. But obviously, this is not enough in itself – action is needed, as well. If we make a conscious choice to pursue personal growth, learning from one another and supporting each other to grow – then, over time, the world begins to reflect that growth and change. As we learn that we need each other, that the good of others is also the good of oneself, that all things living in harmony live long, and they prosper – so shall it be: a new paradigm, a new worldview, a new reality, a new world with a prosperous and blossoming humanity. And so does transformation happen, you see?

Let us conclude this chapter with the following thoughts. As we go through this process of transformation, one of the first things we come across on our journey is a new paradigm, which is followed by a new worldview. As indicated earlier, with this transformation comes a new paradigm that will lead us in a direction to discover more sustainable ways of living. The emergence of this new paradigm at this critical juncture in human history is highly significant. You see, this process will inevitably lead us to a completely different kind of worldview – a view where the perspective is shifted from the parts to the whole, while also acknowledging the individual parts as an integral part of the whole. We can already see that a new kind of worldview has slowly begun to emerge – a view that turns out to be closely related to the views of mystics of all ages and traditions. This kind of view can be called a holistic approach – seeing the world as an integrated whole.

What’s amazing about this kind of holistic worldview is that it blends together the wisdom of ancient spiritual traditions with the new discoveries in quantum physics and modern science. At the most fundamental level, we are talking about returning to the ways of our ancestors by living in harmony with nature – gently adjusting our lifestyle to bring us back into balance. If we combine holistic principles with modern technology; if we adjust our lifestyle to reflect higher values, morals, ideals, and principles; if we replace greed, competition, consumption, quantity, and domination with solidarity, cooperation, conservation, quality, and partnership, we would be well on our way toward a more sustainable world, with a healthier and more balanced way of life, wouldn’t we?

In conclusion, when one has the understanding that we are part of the whole and the whole is part of us, then we start living in a new way, you see? We will go more into details in later chapters, but first we need to briefly examine how we currently see life – this is done in the next chapter, titled “Outdated View of Life (Mechanistic Machine).” This groundwork is necessary for the gradual growth in understanding of ourselves as an integral part of the whole. In this way, we can better understand the upcoming sections – in particular those dealing with the ideas of consciousness, awareness, and existence in general.
