23. It can only be settled by a global mindchange...

a different way of looking at others and the world.

This was all predicted by the quantum physicists
whose work and research saw the universe as
a hologram and reality as basically holistic.

I took to holism early on, and especially after
reading the works of John Steinbeck, who managed
to channel the holistic version of spiritual masters
and incorporate it into his works.

The quantum physicists then really nailed it for me.

The evils that have beset us have to do with seeig
the world and others as mechanistic, as parts of
a whole instead of the whole itself.

Descartes pushed the theory of mechanism very
strongly and then the Industrial Revolution sealed it.

It's hard not to believe in mechanism these days because
our whole society is ingrained with it.

But when you look at the collapse of society and the chaos
that is ensuing, you realize that there really is something
else going on... and that this was predicted by all the holists.
