The Implications of Psychotherapy and Mysticism for the Integration of Knowledge

For several hundred years western science has led the expansion of human knowledge by applying the proven techniques of reductive analysis and specialization. Recently the need for cross-disciplinary integration and the re-assembly of greater wholes of knowledge has become clear. Led by developments in theoretical physics, neuro-science and genetics and lent urgency by environmental issues, population explosion and economic instability, human knowledge now is engaging in a major paradigm shift. Both psychotherapy and mysticism have documented the capacity of the human brain/mind to modify itself and its understanding of the world, to develop unrealized potential. The lecture will explore some of the implications that psychotherapy and mysticism have for the integration of knowledge.
