what the new physics has done. Besides relinquishing the illusory division between subject and object, wave and particle, mind and body, mental and material, the new physics--with the brilliant help of Albert Einstein-abandoned the dualism of space and time, energy and matter, and even space and objects. The universe is so constructed that, as Niels Bohr remarked, the opposite of a true statement is a false statement, but the opposite of a profound truth is usually another profound truth. The biophysicist L.L. Whyte says, "Man cannot think where he is, for he has created two worlds from one', 13
Recall the essential insight of Heisenberg, Schrodinger, Einstein and Eddington that the texture of reality is one when the subject and the object are not separate; and this insight bestows the new world order.
Even describing the true order of the universe is difficult because it involves something more than the physical world. It involves us, our minds and our thoughts. The gradual recognition that what we think may physically influence what we observe has led to a revolution in thought and philosophy, not to mention physics. Fred Alan Wolf concluded, "The order of the universe may be the order of our own minds”. 14 The new world order exists in the minds of some physicists. If mankind is interested in a new world order, we will have to bring transformation or mutation in our minds from symbolic-dualistic frame of reference to non-dual frame of reference in the mind spectrum.
The characteristics of non-dual frame of reference is to revel in truth, to move from fact to fact. A scientific mind is precise, clear, unprejudiced, which does not condemn, which observes, which sees. A scientific mind leads to non-dual frame of reference. One with a non-dual frame is a cultured human being, a human being who knows con passion. The new world order will self-express itself when the mind revels in love and compassion.
