Wholeness: The Union of All Opposites

This page contains the first two parts of Wholeness: The Union of All Opposites, which you are welcome to download. At present, these are in pdf format in A4 size, as this reduces the number of pages to be printed by about half. Part III is scheduled to be written during the autumn and winter of 2008.

In terms of marketing strategy, with modern democracies and the global economy rapidly becoming unmanageable with current levels of consciousness, the central purpose of this book is to use the unified relationships theory (URT) to stimulate the scientific revolution and spiritual renaissance currently taking place today. One without the other is not sufficient. Both are prerequisites for whatever monetary reforms we can bring about; both are required if we are to awaken to Total Revolution, in Vimala Thakar’s words in Spirituality and Social Action.

Because the URT unifies the nonphysical and physical energies at work in the Universe, Wholeness completes the revolution in science that has been taking place for the past few decades, just as Isaac Newton’s Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy completed the Copernican revolution by unifying the terrestrial and nonterrestrial forces at work in the solar system. By recognizing that the coherent light of Consciousness, radiating from our Divine Source, lights up the entire Universe, there is a heliocentric revolution taking place today, not unlike the scientific revolution of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

This means that publishing and marketing this book presents some rather unusual challenges, which can best be viewed by adapting Ken Wilber’s three-tier model of the expansion of consciousness: egocentric and ethnocentric perspectives (first tier), anthropocentric and geocentric perspectives (second tier), and kosmocentric and Holocentric perspectives (third tier). Wholeness is written from a Holocentric perspective, which embraces all the other levels and tiers of consciousness, as explained in an extended essay on the psychological implications of marketing Wholeness.

In practical terms, a central message of this book is that machines, like computers, function solely in the horizontal dimension of time—with a past and a future—whereas, we human beings live spiritually in the vertical dimension of time, in the Eternal Now, and only secondarily in the horizontal dimension of time to deal with day-to-day practical affairs.

So when we regard the past and the future as primary, as we have mostly been doing since the dawn of recorded history, some 5,000 years ago, we live in an upside world, standing on our heads, not our feet. If we are to reach our fullest potential as divine, cosmic beings, free of the fear of death, including the death of Western civilization and our species, it is thus essential that we put Western religion, science, and economics back on their feet, so that our minds are no longer split and deluded.

This book is thus rather unusual. While it is written in the language of scientists and business people, it can only be fully understood by mystics who are free, as much as possible, of their collective, cultural, and personal conditioning. This mechanistic conditioning acts like clouds of unknowing, preventing the coherent light of Consciousness from radiating brilliantly through us. It is thus essential that Life, arising directly from our Divine Source, disperses these clouds so that our self-reflective Intelligence can guide our lives with full clarity of what it means to be a human being.
