THIS BOOK is in no sense dogma to be believed. It is an attempt at
exploration of Ideas which are alive and can therefore enter our
consciousness and bring change. We can all recognise the faculty
for apprehending an idea for its very beauty. We seize it out of
the ether, with a feeling "that's lovely, that gives meaning to
life". And then, all too often, the cold intellect comes in and
says, "Oh, no you don't! You can't prove that and you must not
accept what cannot be demonstrated to the senses". But we are
exploring the supersensible worlds. The technique is to take these
ideas (if we like them) and learn to live with them as if we
believed, while at the same time reserving judgement and watching
life in the light of them. Then there is no need for argument, that
debased form of human exchange. Ideas of this sort are alive and
will therefore draw to themselves a certainty as one lives with
them. A remarkable change is taking place in the intellectual
climate mate of our time. The holistic world view is penetrating
our consciousness and superseding the rational materialism which is
surely proving inadequate to explain our fantastic universe. Really
we are recovering what was called the Ageless Wisdom of the ancient
Mysteries, which knew that the Universe is Mind not mechanism, that
the Earth is a sentient creature and not just dead mineral, that
the human being is in essence spiritual, a droplet of Divinity
housed in the temple of the body. This vision, once apprehended,
lifts the basic fear of death in our death-ridden culture. The body
may be destroyed, but the soul! spirit in each of us is deathless
and immortal. Our age is filled with prophecies of doom and
breakdown, which are obviously alarming. But the greater truth is
that there is no death without rebirth, no renewal without the
breaking down of outdated structures and habit patterns. Just
because the world is so mad and so bad and so dangerous, it is
valid to look at the apocalyptic picture. This suggests that behind
disaster is a transforming power at work out of the Living Whole,
which can cleanse the planet, sweep away much that is negative and
bring in a New Age. We certainly approach years of dramatic change.
Technocratic man in greed, avarice and ignorance has failed
lamentably in his stewardship of the planet and the Living Earth
hits back at him in ever increasing disaster. But the grasping of
the holistic world view leads directly to the emergence of an
alternative lifestyle, working with the Living Earth and not merely
raping and polluting her. This means nothing less than the
emergence of a new human species, filled with a love for all life
and a readiness to serve the Whole in caring, cooperation and
compassion. It has been called MULIER/HOMO NOETICUS a human being
balanced male-female, of developing consciousness. This may give
meaning to the statement "the meek shall inherit the Earth", for
behind NOETICUS is a divine power which in the long run is
absolutely unconquerable. Certainly the vision of the spiritual
nature of man and the universe brings the conviction that the human
potential is unlimited and that we stand at the threshold over
which a quantum leap in consciousness is possible. Cosmic
consciousness, a blending of mind with Universal Mind, is being
achieved and demonstrated by more and more people. This world
picture by no means implies that we just sit back and let God do
the job. Human initiative is the vital factor, but we are working
with energies of life and being from the ocean of Divine
Intelligence which can bring about change. There never was such a
generation in which to be alive. "Look up, for your redemption
draweth nigh".
