I hold a vision for the building of a new paradigm of understanding out of which can arise the flourishing of a sustainable human civilisation, we have many potentially useful tools that can serve to encourage or diminish our opportunity to manifest this depending upon how they are understood and employed.

Common language is limited to the concept of empiricism [ref] and so is inadequate to clearly elucidate the Reality which underlies it. However in order to communicate we need to use something, which is why it is necessary to develop a clear and coherent ontology [ref] It is possible that without being willing to considerably stretch the mind certain understandings will remain elusive.

We cannot resolve our misunderstandings using the same thinking that gave rise to them and so we need to work toward resolving the dysfunctions in our own thinking in order to clarify our cognitive equipment. With our minds freed from the distortions and limitations of 'modernist' thinking and its ramifications we will be better able to develop new ways of thinking that allow us to come up with new understandings that are compatible with Reality and capable of apprehending the Truth.

For those who are not willing to do the work within their own minds to achieve this outcome, no further progress can be made and they will be unable to effectively contribute to overcoming the problems created by not doing so.

This is really not a knowing that one can come to solely through analytic thinking (left brained, linear cognitive), so either one begins to expand into the realm of intuition (right brained, non-linear cognition) in order to comprehend this Truth or one will be fundamentally unable to do so.

Without an understanding of the false concept of naïve realism [link] and the phenomena of empiricism which arises as a result there is really no hope of going beyond the false limitations that this imposes upon the cognitive faculty.

There has been considerable, reputable scientific research that shows clearly that empirical phenomena are the effects of consciousness and not the cause, (the ancient eastern definition is here applied see; mind-and-consciousness.html

and for more on how this relates to scientific understanding see;

transontology.vedic_quantum.htm )

The physical form in which we perceive ourselves arises from an underlying etheric [ref] 'blueprint' which serves as the guiding framework, or 'scaffolding' within which manifestation takes place.

This 'blueprint' is the 'structure' of the detectable etheric field known for centuries to mystics/vedic scientists as the Aura [ref]

The cutting edge of quantum physics is approaching an understanding of knowledge that is at least 5000 years old. What is holding back empirical science is that it fails to realise that the form and phenomena which it studies are the resultant evidence of the activity of consciousness, and not the source of consciousness.

The PEAR and ICRL consciousness research has over the last 30 years come to a scientifically verifiable parallel understanding of this and this is an instance of where 'new' science is actually being conducted.

The work of empirical scientists is fascinatingly interesting in that it gives us a map of the cognitive, perceptual projection of expected outcomes (assumed to be 'real' physical objects in space) and is in effect working backwards from the periphery of understanding towards its source. It needs to realise though that there is a source toward which it is working and take more serious steps toward acknowledging rather than denying this.

It would soon become apparent, given an understanding of the “emanating from the source model” of consciousness, that all the myriad symptoms manifesting in the perceivable environment can only effectively be addressed from the source (or root), and that the intuited and inspirational frameworks of understanding that are currently evolving in cyberspace and myriad other publications through the agency of inspired minds will work their way out into the world through the implementation of great ideas and technologies[link] applied appropriately to specific situations as the need and opportunity arises.
