【正文】 sneak a glimpse of the eternal realm of Being itself. If only for a brief moment in time, we e home to our True Self. Ah, one might sigh, so grand . . . if only I could stay here. But how do I take up permanent residence? During the past ten years, I have mitted myself to finding out. During my search, I have been honored to engage in dialogue with some of the most daring, inspiring and insightful paradigm pioneers of our time: in medicine, science, psychology, business, religion/spirituality, and human potential. This diverse group of individuals is joined by their monly voiced insight that humanity is now taking a quantum leap forward in its evolutionary development. This change is acpanied by a shift in world view — the basic picture we carry with us of the way things are. A world view seeks to answer two fundamental questions, Who are we? and What is the nature of the Universe in which we live? Our answers to these questions dictate the quality and characteristics of our personal 13 relationships with family, friends and employers/employees. When considered on a larger scale, they define societies. It should be of little surprise that the world view which is emerging calls into question many of the things Western society holds to be true: MYTH 1 Humanity has reached the pinnacle of its development. Esalen cofounder Michael Murphy, drawing upon parative religious studies, medical science, anthropology, and sports, has made a provocative case that there are more advanced stages of human development. As a person reaches these advanced levels of spiritual maturity, extraordinary capacities begin to blossom — of love, vitality, personhood, bodily awareness, intuition, perception, munication, and volition. First step: to recognize they exist. Most people do not. Then, methods can be employed with conscious intention. MYTH 2 We are pletely separate from each other, nature, and the Kosmos. This myth of otherthanme has been responsible for wars, the rape of the pla, and all forms and expressions of human injustice. After alt, who in their right mind would harm another if they experienced that person as part of themselves? Stan Grof, in his research of nonordinary states of consciousness, summarizes by saying the psyche and consciousness of each of us is, in the last analysis, mensurate with AllThatIs because there are no absolute boundaries between the body/ego and the totality of existence. Dr. Larry Dossey39。 our own mind causes our problems, not other people, not the world out there. It is our own mind, with its nearly constant stream of thoughts, thinking about the past, worrying about the future. We make the great mistake of identifying with our mind, thinking that’s who we are — when, in fact, we are far greater beings. Over and over, Eckhart Tolle shows us how to connect with what he calls our Being: Being is the eternal, everpresent One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death. However, Being is not only beyond but also deep within every form as its innermost invisible and indestructible essence. This means that it is accessible to you now as your own deepest self, your true nature.
