Unshackling the Back-to-Front Western Scientific Mindset
Western materialistic science has undoubtedly enabled remarkable developments in technology that have transformed human societies and worldviews over the past few hundred years. However, attempts within the framework of science as we know it to find a unified field, or a complete theory of everything, have so far failed. Meanwhile, quantum theory points towards an enormous omission, false foundations and wrong thinking in the mindset of mainstream materialistic scientists.
The omission is the observer, or rather the life which allows consciousness to arise in the first place so as to subsequently make observations possible. Quantum theory and experiment point out that the observer is intricately entangled in what is observed. It also indicates that time and space are false suppositions, or false foundations. A mindset stuck within the falsely founded paradigm of mainstream materialistic science is inevitably led along false side-tracks on an express train of thought eventually leading to dead-ends, false conclusions or a proliferation of bizarre theories.
Materialistic scientists assume there's a real world of material objects out there in space and time. They set up physical experiments, observe results, theorize about material objects and their interactions. They then construct theories as to how lifeforms arose from material objects, how lifeforms evolved to become more complex and diverse, and how consciousness arose particularly in humans. Theories abound within their paradigm cage as to how the phenomenon of increased complexity of lifeforms comes about, and how consciousness arises from brain activity. However, they're nowhere near understanding how all this really comes about, while evidence strongly suggests their paradigm is seriously wrong! But it's hard to teach old dogs a new trick!
Increasing numbers of scientists, generally scoffed at by Western mainstream materialists, see the need for a radically different paradigm and worldview not based on the false foundations of matter, space or time, which materialistic scientists only assume, without understanding. A paradigm shift in outlook is opening the way to see life giving rise to consciousness, thus bringing about changing forms in apparent time and space. This shift in vision completely changes the worldview of materialistic science, the kind of experiments it carries out and the theories it develops. This change is greater than that brought about by materialistic science and the industrial and technological revolutions IT brought about in recent centuries.
Among a growing number of scientists who are helping to open the caged minds of mainstream materialistic scientists are Rupert Sheldrake. His recent book is entitled "The Science Delusion: Freeing the Spirit of Enquiry".
Robert Lanza is another trail-blazer opening up a new worldview with life at the heart of it, not relegated to a peripheral epiphenomenon of dead matter as materialistic scientists would have it. Co-authored with astronomer Bob Berman, their book is entitled "Biocentrism: How Life and Consciousness are the Keys to Understanding the True Nature of the Universe".
