TULSI-PRAJNA
experience is possible only in a collective historical context that is redeeming and liberational as enjoined in the Christian worldview. In other words we need a new world order in which there is place for the meso-cosmos and the meta-cosmos, for the Ego and the Self, for gnostic selfactualisation and collective redemption.
It has to be a new world order that admits space for the liberational ideas both of the East and the West. It is a new world order based not only on human rights, but provides a chanee for realising human dignity as a right of world citizenship. A new world that incorporates the liberational views of East and West is not only a liberational world, but is also a welfare world symbolising the consummation of the biblical liberation-the passage of mankind from sin and bondage to the redeeming hope of resurrection and re-birth, substantiated by a natural human hope of a better tomorrow for every inhabitant of this planet.
This planet has enough place and resources for all, provided we heal it of the present pathological condition afflicting humanity both in the East and the West. Only when we bring about this healing, humanity and the planet will have a chance for survival, and for the biological evolution achieving the passage to the psychological and spiritual evolution, which is the crux of the evolutionary worldview, which we have seen was progressively asserting itself since Einstein and Freud.
What is the prospect of a meta-psychic analysis of mankind in this collective sense of total human redemption? In order to venture an analysis it is necessary to identify the Subject. This Subject in a world dominated by the Western civilisation can come only from the West. If History has an adequate Subject sitting at its steering wheel, the historic flow will be in harmony with the evolutionary need, ie. self-actualisation need, of the individual leading to the mutual fulfilment of history and evolution,
