TULSI-PRAJNA
. we have to explore the act of perception, the quality and potential of the mind-brain system employed for perception, interconnectedness of networks and webs, and heterarchical expression of consciousness that sustains the perception. Spirituality introduces "level of perception" as a new element in the description of a particular. Each of these levels of perception is characterized by a set of concepts which is governed by the quantum energy potential of consciousness in that frame of reference of the mind spectrum. As the whole mankind shares the conditioning or the content of consciousness, so spirituality
he act of exploration that one conducts on behalf of the whole human race, it is investigating the psychodynamics of the conditioned mind-brain system, which we share with mankind.
A scientific mind takes up "the role of a non-concerned observer”, in the words of Schrodinger. It is unrelated to our beliefs, our ambition, our hopes", in the words of Prigogine. It must not construct a pseudo-observer, it must see the present and reject the past remembrances or future projections. The values in science are objective truth, openness, integrity and honesty. In a scientific mind, the attentivity takes up the role of the subject, so the subject is non-variable. The scientific mode is very factual. It moves from fact to fact. Discovery is its mission, its perception. It is precise, clear, unprejudiced, which does not condemn, which observes, which sees. When attentivity watches every thought without interfering in its flow (which means no energy exchange), the thought blossoms and withers away; the scientific frame of reference makes a quantum jump to the state of observation attentiveness.? This is the beginning of spirituality, the subjective research. Both spirituality and science are the non-authoritarian approach-an approach not conditioned by the authority of the past. The subject of cognizance in both cases is the trans-psychological dimension of consciousness, which is called non-variable attentive.
