A Changing Worldview and its Relationship with Space/Time Expansion

Major institutions, such as medicine, economics, politics, and science in the West have arisen out of modernity’s dominant reductionistic paradigm.  Although the modern worldview is dying, if not dead, institutions are now struggling to find an identity untied to the assumptions of Newton, Descartes, Darwin, Freud, Skinner, and so on.  Traditional psychiatry and psychology, for instance, have viewed consciousness as a relatively recent (in the scope of material evolution) byproduct of increasingly complex evolution of brain biochemistry.

But trends have emerged across seemingly unrelated disciplines that are suggesting that consciousness is fundamental and not an evolutionary happenstance.  A simple example includes the significant breakthroughs in quantum physics and quantum mechanics, which mirror research in systems theory and consciousness studies.  They indicate that subjective consciousness, attitude, affirmations, and energy frequency have direct impact on one’s environment.

Leading new-worldview theorists claim that this is true because an interconnected field of energy and consciousness permeates thoughts, matter, and reality itself in and out of our space-time continuum.  In other words, undifferentiated consciousness might in fact be the most fundamental component of the universe.  This flips the accepted worldview on its head, which is beginning to and will only increasingly impact theory and practice across most Western disciplines and institutions.

The above trends also mirror the notion that psychological development moves beyond the integration of body and mind, but to higher states of consciousness, energy, and self-actualization, which may show that we all operate at these finer levels of reality.  And when/if we successfully integrate such stages, our ability to influences our environment improves dramatically.

Tangible and practical clinical implications are numerous.  I will mention here two major implications.  The first is the notion that we can greatly influence our reality through positive discipline of our thoughts/intentions, actions, and energy vibration—all of which increases synchronistic events, improved “flow,” and tangible material change in our relationships and with what is mirrored in our reality.  The other related psychological implication is the notion that as mastery improves, the phenomenon of psychological projection (and in general all psychological defenses) diminishes.  As individuals see their reality as an extension of themSelves, victim consciousness decreases and greater life-control and responsibility ensues.  First hand evidence of this is enormous, and scientific data gathering is beginning to mount.

One of my contributions to this dialogue is that I show how our ontological reality might actually be significantly different than it had been up to recent times, as suggested by certain esoteric sciences.  And I show how higher levels of Self are now available here and now and how such aspects can be integrated to give us better ability to co-create our realities.

If this is true that the qualities of space and time are dramatically shifting, then this helps to explain why trends in the hard sciences and the human sciences are happening so rapidly and why we might expect institutions to shift relatively quickly as the century unfolds.  As people evolve and as the collective jumps into its new stage of consciousness, it will develop a higher set of values that move beyond competition and individuality and towards cooperation and harmony.  To the degree this transformation takes place in a healthy fashion, dramatic and positive impact will be felt across such areas as the economy, business, politics, the arts, and health and medicine as decades pass.
