Why not rise and reach forth to new and inclusive thought that embraces the facts of existence, instead of a kind of thinking that requires either a psychic numbing to the avalanche of new evidence or a thick and sturdy guard against information from all but thoroughly sanctioned and sanitized, perfectly safe and riskless, or intractably bureaucratized sources? I must point out that by now many scientists, of diverse fields, have abandoned the old model long ago and, at this point, consider its inadequacy to be well-nigh common knowledge. Having been over to the new paradigm a while, they feel it to be familiar territory; they find it useful (after all!), stable, workable, and even pleasurable terrain. They await the rest of us in the adventure of splicing or merging our insights about an explanatory framework that has room for the evidence of the new techniques and sciences; and thereby blowing away the door jammed, opening it wide to the next new phase of discovery of the nature of reality that is called the scientific enterprise.

EXPERIENCE IS DIVINITY Page 36 …incorporated the effect is that of inspiring a renaissance of new frontiers of research and theoretical enterprise and thus a surging powerfully forth of the released creative tide. Let me state emphatically, in the face of such dire historical precedents, that there is no inherent insecurity involved in the new paradigm, or inherent danger, or inherent trigger for anxiety, or necessary economic disadvantage (if one has the capacity to change with new developments and thought).3 So why do we not, then, get on with the incorporation of this new, heretofore unexplainable, data and with the creation of new paradigm models (not, of necessity, Grof’s) for making sense of it? Why not rise and reach forth to new and inclusive thought that embraces the facts of existence, instead of a kind of thinking that requires either a psychic numbing to the avalanche of new evidence or a thick and sturdy guard against information from all but thoroughly sanctioned and sanitized, perfectly safe and riskless, or intractably bureaucratized sources?

A Call to Know Instead However, this new evidence and new paradigm are not at all at odds, let alone at war with — as much of the constructs of fundamentalist theology are — our traditional scientific ways or findings. For, similar to the way in which the earth is flat in the particular environs of one’s daily life, and for a considerable distance surrounding, the Newtonian-Cartesian paradigm likewise has its limited usefulness. But if we are to get moving on our species’s continuing adventure into discovering the nature of reality, we must acknowledge its limitations. What bodes against this happening is an incredible, Jupiterian weight of egoic, economic, and time investment in the old (N-C) paradigm that pushes most people to insist upon its ultimate validity. Historically, this has been the unfortunate fate of every emergent paradigm facing the entrenched one. Decades and even centuries have often been required while the new worldview has been put “on hold” until entire, invested generations have left the scene ... totally regardless of the quality, quantity, or indisputability of the new evidence (Kuhn, 1970). What a waste! Especially in that when the new ideas are finally accepted and… TRANSCENDING WORLDS Page 35

TRANSCENDING WORLDS Page 35 …fieldwork-seasoned academicians and Ph.Ds. After observing and delving below this reaction for years, I have consistently detected a pattern of irrationality that associates, somehow, all this new stuff with things like having to go to Church as a child, hell-fiery father gods, and Jerry Falwell. Though nothing could be further from the truth, they confuse it with right wing, Tea Party-type politics and evangelical religions. They think it is connected to the attacks on the theory of evolution, the idea of Intelligent Design, and the drives to install Creationism in our schools. So these people harbor the mistaken notion that spiritual or transpersonal realities have something to do with organized religion, when they are quite different and, indeed, often at odds with each other.

“Well-established theories collapse under the weight of new facts and observations which cannot be explained, and then accumulate to the point where the once useful theory is clearly obsolete.” [Using Thomas S. Kuhn's theories to frame his argument about the relationship between science and technology: as new facts continue to accumulate, a new, more accurate paradigm must replace the old one.] — Al Gore Why We Know Not The mere existence of this new data — these keys to biological transcendence, these formerly inexplicable anomalies of science — trigger a certain insecurity in that they undermine a familiar, habitual, and thoroughly ego-invested commitment to a view of reality. I have noticed a fear and hostility toward the new paradigm and its evidence, even among self-professedly open-minded and… EXPERIENCE IS DIVINITY Page 34

EXPERIENCE IS DIVINITY Page 34 “‘Normal’ science, in Kuhn’s sense, exists. It is the activity of the non- revolutionary, or more precisely, the not-too-critical professional: of the science student who accepts the ruling dogma of the day ... in my view the ‘normal’ scientist, as Kuhn describes him, is a person one ought to be sorry for.... He has been taught in a dogmatic spirit: he is a victim of indoctrination.... I can only say that I see a very great danger in it and in the possibility of its becoming normal ... a danger to science and, indeed, to our civilization. And this shows why I regard Kuhn’s emphasis on the existence of this kind of…

EXPERIENCE IS DIVINITY Page 34 “It is, I think, particularly in periods of acknowledged crisis that scientists have turned to philosophical analysis as a device for unlocking the riddles of their field. Scientists have not generally needed or wanted to be philosophers.” — Thomas Kuhn “The historian of science may be tempted to claim that when paradigms change, the world itself changes with them. Led by a new paradigm, scientists adopt new instruments and look in new places. even more important, during revolutions, scientists see new and different things when looking with familiar instruments in places they have looked before. It is rather as if the professional community had been suddenly transported to another planet where familiar objects are seen in a different light and are joined by unfamiliar ones as well.” — Thomas Kuhn

A Call to Our Sciences to Embrace the Awakening, Which It, Too, Has Been Resisting Although our very survival depends on a paradigm change, or shift, it is being resisted mightily by our communities of scientific researchers. This Scientific Awakening is as much a threat to the corporate hegemony over modern culture as is the social and political Awakenings. There has been as much a battle in science over the last fifty years — a scientific culture war, if you will — as there has been the one in our societies around the world ... and for the same reasons. Paradigm shift threatens the status quo. “The crises of our time, it becomes increasingly clear, are the necessary impetus for the revolution now under way. And once we understand nature’s transformative powers, we see that it is our powerful ally, not a force to be feared or subdued.” — Thomas Kuhn TRANSCENDING WORLDS Page 33
