ABSTRACT
The area of consciousness is a small part within the sphere of the unconscious. The Middle Ages brought about yet another important change of conditions, not directly for the triumph of natural sciences, but for the mutation of consciousness. The appeal to use reason in order to understand and to interpret the contents of Christian faith was just a tiny germ in those days, a mere inkling of the development that later was to occur as the mutation of consciousness. To foster scientific exploration, several achievements of the mutation of consciousness were integrated into a whole. The evolution of consciousness seemed to hit the ceiling of narrow theoretical models or constructions, similar to the situation at the end of scholasticism. At the end of the Middle Ages, the dematerialisation of other-worldly beings infinitesimally approached the ultimate grade of spiritualisation of beings, and the evolution of consciousness was in danger of hitting the ceiling of theoretical and intellectual constructions.
