There are ranges of consciousness beyond the mental and they have their own tools of cognition and operation. Surely, it means, the tools of the mental will prove to be blunt in those beyond-mind domains. But, fortunately, there is the mental rather the human potential to exceed itself by a conscious choice and effort. That is built into the very scheme of things and that is therefore our valid hope also. To be brief: we have a series: physical instruments of observation in the scientific sense, such as microscopes, telescopes, modern accelerators; physical organs of contact, eye-ear-taste-smell-touch; behind them manas, mind as the true sense; finally is sense in its purity samjňāna that exists behind and beyond mind. The knowledge of samjňāna has a wideness as well as penetration which physical mind is incapable of having. It is by a purposeful series of limiting transitions that the higher suffers diminution, and therefore what the lower conceives becomes an extremely partial view of things.

The theory of organization introduced here indicates a fractal reality in which an idea, a person, a team, a corporation, a market, a system, progressively more complex constructs, are concretely connected by virtue of common and linked patterns that animates each of these separate levels. Hence the power to positively change progressively more complex and in many cases removed arenas of life, such even as Climate Change, by making corresponding changes in one’s personal space becomes more real...   more »

...If our endeavour is to take the spiritual aim to society, society that is not yet open to it, then the problems can arise, many problems can arise. It can even be construed as a kind of proselytization. In fact even more serious problems can arise. But one thing is certain: it cannot be, should not be by diluting the spiritual contents; it is not by adjusting or simplifying it, in order to accommodate the prevailing conditions of the society, by fiddling with it so that what it can understand and accept is fitted into it. Otherwise it would be an imposition of the spiritual on the worldly or mundane...   more »
