Der Band enthält die Beiträge der Sektion D des zweiten Gauss-Symposiums vom 2. - 8. August 1993 in München. Die Themen der Beiträge spannen den weiten Bogen von mathematischer Modellierung von biologisch und medizinisch wichtigen Prozessen über Fragen der Medikamentierung bis hin zur Erforschung des menschlichen Bewußtseins.

This book constitutes the fascinating work of Dr. Hans-Joachim Rudolph to portray the concept of Microvita in a physics framework that can be studied objectively. It offers a smooth integration of Microvita (units of consciousness) into a well-grounded scientific scenario, consistent with the equations of Newton, Maxwell, Einstein, and Schrdinger. It also provides a link between the worlds of perception and conception and implies that the distinct disciplines of physics, biology, psychology, and mathematics can be merged into one science of everything. So what has Dr. Rudolph done? To explain the mind-body problem, he has structured a universal grid, consisting of the cognitive and operative aspects of the supreme causal factor. Its lattice width is in the range of Planck length and can release 2x2 matrices of primary matter as well as complex 4x4 matrices, which contain the key qualities of elementary particles. Then, by means of a modified positive or negative creation operator, particles can be produced, which contain imaginary representations of the opposite qualities, thereby modeling the phenomenon of quantum entanglement - an approach that provides the basis of our universal interconnectedness. Let us now enter the arena of human propensities and self-realization, which is of prime concern to all of us: Dr. Rudolph postulates that neuronal assemblies are quantum objects, susceptible to a Quantum Zeno-like effect. Their electrical activities are transient and unstable, but can be stabilized by the production and annihilation of quasiparticles at defined frequencies () and durations (t), which is, in turn, controlled by sets of synchronized Microvita. In this context, three levels of Microvita are to be distinguished: biological, psychological, and spiritual. Energization of the chakras in meditation can stimulate Microvita to cause biological regeneration and disease curing as well as to attain higher consciousness attributes. Then, ideating on and illuminating the mind with cosmic consciousness can attract spiritual Microvita to help rejuvenate the mind by dissolving its embedded psychic impressions, leading to self-realization. Thus it can be seen that Microvita have a distinctive role in guiding our life journey towards its cosmic abode. I greatly complement Dr. Rudolph for this book, which will hopefully invoke the interest of many independent minds to explore and discover the new science of Microvita.

This book explores varieties of spiritual movements and alternative experiments for generation of beauty, dignity and dialogues, in a world where the rise of the religious in politics and the public sphere is often accompanied by violence. It examines how spirituality can contribute to human development, social transformations and planetary realizations, urging us to treat each other, and our planet, with evolutionary care and respect. Trans-disciplinary and trans-paradigmatic to its very core, this text opens new pathways of practical spirituality and humanistic action for both scholarship and discourse and offers an invaluable companion for scholars across religious studies, cultural studies and development studies.

Global Transformations and World Futures is a component of Encyclopedia of Development and Economic Sciences in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. The Theme on Global Transformations and World Futures, in two volumes, deals with the diversity of points of view on this complex subject. The chapters in these volumes are organized into three groups. The first starts with chapters introducing the Global transformations in Knowledge: Social and Cultural issues. Issues such as the nature of global science, the challenge of building real communities in a virtual world, and the transition from an information economy to a communicative economy are explored. The second presents the Global Economy. The final group discusses the World Futures. These two volumes are aimed at the following five major target audiences: University and College students Educators, Professional practitioners, Research personnel and Policy analysts, managers, and decision makers and NGOs.

Sohail Inayatullah takes us on a journey through Indian philosophy, grand theory and macrohistory. We understand and appreciate Indian theories of history, specifically cyclical and spiral theories of time. From other civilizations, we learn how seminal thinkers understood the stages and mechanisms of transformation. Ssu-Ma Chien, Ibn Khaldun, Giambattista Vico, George Wilhelm Friedrick Hegel, Oswald Spengler, Comte Pitirim Sorokin, and Michel Foucault are invited to a dialog on the nature of agency and structure, and the escape ways from the patterns of history. But the journey is centered on P.R. Sarkar, the controversial Indian philosopher, guru and activist. While Sarkar passed away in 1990, his work, his social movements, his vision of the future remains ever alive. Inayatullah brings us closer to the heart and head of this giant luminary. Through Understanding Sarkar, we gain insight into how knowledge can transform and liberate. This publication has also been published in paperback, please click here for details.

Professor Dhanjoo Ghista about the Book The author has done admirable work to develop the concept of Microvita and its synthesis, from the medieval question of whether there are 'universalia ante res' impinging on our destiny and fortune, to a model of the atomic nucleus, onto how Devayonis and Pretayonis can be produced pairwise or apart by the action of the neutral and the positive or negative creation operator respectively. Thereafter, we learn how imperialism, together with its different forms, such as capitalism and nationalism, all have one psychological base. This comes about through diminishing the interest for the sublime and enhancing the interest for material goods. Thereafter, we journey from Microvita network formation (clustering, representation, synchronisation and coherency), to Microvita in the context of the Neo-Leibnizian World Model and quantum monadology, whereby consciousness should not be interpreted by our daily experiences, but as an introspectively realized state. Finally, we recognize how Microvita give rise to what is known (in Sanskrit) as advaetadvaeta'dvaetava'da, meaning non-dualistic dualistic non-dualism: Non-dualism from dusk to dawn, dualism only in the daytime of existence.

Divinity is a goal, a process, and an end in itself. The spiritual experiences of author Acarya Parameshvarananda Avadhuta, recounted in Divine Experiences, tell of this wondrous journey to divinity, a journey taken by both the disciple and the guru. Acarya Parameshvaranandas mystical experiences offer proof of a hidden world beyond matter, a world of light and indescribable bliss, a divine world beyond anything mortals have known. In Divine Experiences, he shares his fascinating spiritual journeya gripping account of his titanic struggles against the many tests, trials, and tribulations on the path and his victory in attaining the highest spiritual realizations. An extraordinary account of an extraordinary spiritual aspirant, this collection of memoirs takes us on an extraordinary journey beyond common experience. Investigating the inner world of mysticism and spirituality, Divine Experiences shares Acarya Parameshvaranandas spiritual experiences with spiritual aspirants and those with an interest in mysticism.
