“We will see how very important it is to bring about, in the human mind, the radical revolution. The crisis, is a crisis of consciousness. A crisis that cannot anymore, accept the old norms, the old patterns, the ancient traditions. And, considering what the world is now, with all the misery, conflict, destructive brutality, aggression, and so on… Man is still as he was. Is still brutal, violent, aggressive, acquisitive, competitive. And, he’s built a society along these lines.” ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti.
Of all the mysteries known to us, there is one in particular that remains both incredibly elusive and frustratingly close to home: consciousness. Religions have formed over it, wars have been fought because of different claims regarding it (and still are), and scientist and sage alike have debated it down the ages. There is now even a question of whether or not our machines will one day be able to claim it.
