UNIQUE and INNOVATIVE ASPECTS

of

PROJECT MIND

When trying to understand a proposal, sometimes it is helpful to focus on its unique aspects even at the cost of continuity and overall coherence. King Solomon said "there is nothing new under the sun" (Eccles 1:9) and it is rarely, indeed, that a new philosophy offering a completely new perspective on human destiny is offered.

This philosophy, at the very least, can be said to have a number of novel components. But it is the combination of these components that creates the spectacular uniqueness that amounts to a comprehensive reinterpretation of human purpose and destiny. These are the aspects of Project Mind (PM) that could be considered unique either in that the concept presented is new or in that its application is new. Elucidation of these notions is provided in essays at this and at other PM web sites and in the book, PROJECT MIND - The Conscious Conquest of Man & Matter by T.Kun:

1. A central, spiritual tenet of PM for which we have been unable to find precedent, anywhere, is that total material abundance (implying the mastery of matter and the elucidation of all of nature's secrets) is the sole and necessary condition for general world awakening, redemption, transformation and the popular newage aspirations known as "paradigm shift" and "phase change." The mastery of matter implies unlimited abundance and universal well-being. The total devaluation of material possessions will spell an end to avarice, greed and materialism since one, by definition, cannot remain attached to that which has become worthless. Human desire will, by default, discover and attach itself to what remains - the metaphysical - reality itself.
   
   
   
2. Although the idea of largely latent, higher intellectual and emotional functions is known from esoteric literature, that the body is, potentially, ALL MIND and can become, in its totality, an instrument of creative, scientific vision obviating the need for laboratory experiment, is, to the best of our knowledge, new. In the framework of PM, this ongoing conscious state of creative vision, continuously accessing the transcendent, is called "Accelerated Thought (AT)."
   
   
   
3. Although the reconciliation of science and spirit is by no means a new aspiration, never before has there been an explicit project proposed for transforming conventional science, through man's hidden and almost totally untapped creative genius, into "holistic science." Holistic science, utilising man's highest spiritual capacity, Accelerated Thought, aims at the global, spiritual awakening that must inevitably follow the rapid and total elimination of our ignorance of matter and, consequently, the elimination of material lack and our materialistic obsession with ownership.
   
   
   
4. Although the esoteric idea of a "conscious nucleus" is ancient, the idea of engaging a few dozen select individuals with preferential access to the core of essence-desire as the motor of Accelerated Thought, holistic science and the principal instrument of world transformation is unique. This nucleus or "esoteric circle" will consist of scientific researchers who, at a tender age, significantly resisted parental and institutional conditioning as regards the universal belief in limitation and the ascendency of matter.
   
   
   
5. The interpretation of environmental pollution (as the culmination of a spectrum of pollutions including spiritual, psychological and social pollutions) as a cosmic message informing us that our chief spiritual failing has been to ignore the challenge of matter and to tolerate our ignorance of it is, undoubtedly, new. This belief is consistent with the widespread religious and spiritual doctrine known as "The Fall of Man."
   
   
   
6. Another innovation, derived from Kabbalistic literature, is that all of human existence, after Eden, is comprised of only three fundamental paradigms:
   
   a) giving-to-receive; b) receiving-to-give; c) receiving-is-giving
   
   or, described in more popular terms,
   
   a) working-to-eat; b) eating-to-work; c) eating-is-working.
   
   
   Temporally, these three paradigms, respectively, correspond to:
   
   a) all of post-Edenic history until the Sabbatical Millennium;
   b) the Sabbatical Millennium itself (under messianic supervision);
   c) the culmination and accomplishment of the Sabbatical Millennium.
