Enlightenment, Holistic consciousness and thought...
These video's go into the deepest problems inherent in our culture and attempt to solve them on an equally deep level: on the level of consciousness. Most of these people also agree that in order for our culture to face up to the basic problems inherent in globalism and ecological problems we need to change the way we look at the world: we need to start thinking holistically.
Debate this: do we have a soul?

Holistic Consciousness - a report of a confererence of scientists
Meeting in 2006 of scientists in Dusseldorf. They all agreed that the worlds present condition had been foreseen by people thousands of years ago.
People treat each other very badly. Can human behavior even be called rational? What is the true purpose of life? Why don't we know how to be fulfilled? Why do we try to fill that hole with pleasure?
Labeling creates a fragmented self, which causes a fragmented world.
Classical consciousness is linear - but insight comes in flashes.
Consciousness is non-local. Conscious experience is possible without the body (NDE)
Subjective experiences need to be included in scientific research.
Humanity is together One Body - we operate as one big organism. But we lack the awareness of this oneness.
Our consciousness needs to transform in order for humanity to survive.
Noosphere = universal love. By destabilizing it we destabilizing it, we destabilize the world.
What IS holistic thought / holistic consciousness?
Holism - the idea that things can only really be understood in their context - is the basis of many of the most important scientific developments. For instance: ecology is a holistic science. That is: a science in which not only the parts need to be understood (in that case: animals, plants, climate etc.), but also their interconnectedness.
Some people feel that if our culture is going to adapt to this new world we are collectively creating, we need a holistic consciousness. We need a holistic culture in fact: a culture which takes the interconnectedness of nature and society as a basic fact of life.
This interconnectedness IS actually a basic fact of life. We are directly connected to the people in China making our clothes. We are directly connected to the farmers in Southern America that grow our coffee. But most of us don't realize that.
The video's on this page are of people that feel that for our culture to catch up to our technological interdependence, we also need a shift in consciousness. We need a collective shift in consciousness.
I don't know if that's possible. I do agree though that greed is literally destroying our planet. Perhaps holistic thought can help us counter that enough to help us save it.

More Jiddu Krishnamurti
Holistic Consciousness expressed poetically
The Great Way is not difficult
for those who have no preferences.
When love and hate are both absent
everything becomes clear and undisguised.
Make the smallest distinction, however,
and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart.
If you wish to see the truth
then hold no opinions for or against anything.
To set up what you like against what you dislike
is the disease of the mind.
When the deep meaning of things is not understood
the mind's essential peace is disturbed to no avail.
*
The Way is perfect like vast space
where nothing is lacking and nothing is in excess.
Indeed, it is due to our choosing to accept or reject
that we do not see the true nature of things.
Live neither in the entanglements of outer things,
nor in inner feelings of emptiness.
Be serene in the oneness of things
and such erroneous views will disappear by themselves.
When you try to stop activity to achieve passivity
your very effort fills you with activity.
As long as you remain in one extreme or the other
you will never know Oneness.
Those who do not live in the single Way
fail in both activity and passivity,
assertion and denial.
To deny the reality of things
is to miss their reality;
to assert the emptiness of things
is to miss their reality.
Hsin Hsin Ming, Inscribed on the Believing Mind
Pondering Aurobindo
Ego is a closed loop
Andrew Cohen and Ken Wilber in dialogue with an audience
The only way out of hell - is being aware of it. But don't sink into self-pity.

predictions now... please stand by
Vallygems1, at 5am on December 24, 2011 predicts:
Without question
BarryKrost, at 5pm on January 13, 2009 predicts:
You may be correct. And I will still strive to help more folks to think holistically.
spirituality, at 5am on September 20, 2008 predicts:
I do think our culture is starting to think more holistically. However I don't think it's very likely that a higher percentage of people attain the highest enlightenment. One can always hope though.
Individual consciousness is grounded in universal or non-individual consciousness
Before all that there was only consciousness -because consciousness is the beginning, the middle, the end.
The analog of the thirsty fish in the river... but will she die?
The Spirituality of Tomorrow
Religion is arguably the cause of more suffering than anything else - but they are also the root of the path of liberation.
Oneness with God is our purpose: Meher Baba
This process parallels in some respects Charles Darwin. But for Meher Baba form FOLLOWS consciousness.
In the human form we consistently reincarnate to learn. A false notion of separateness arises. Evolution out of that is the last step out of the wheel of spiritual transformation.
So - any topics related to enlightenment and consciousness I missed?

- The cycle of consciousness. It is argued that there cannot be more than one object of perception at a time before the soul because soul is a unit. Occultism teaches that simultaneously our conscious[ness] could receive no less than seven distinct impressions, and even pass them into memory.
