ABSTRACT

This chapter provides a change of consciousness will liberate man from its fixation to the outer adaptation and give it access to the values of inner adaptation. Carl Friedrich von Weizsaecker used this concept of change of consciousness in a book: Ways out of Danger 1976, where he also looked for ways out of the present dangers of civilization. To threaten war and to make war are biased expressions in political conflicts. They are related to the right side of the body and the left hemisphere of the brain, even if they concern the whole human being, his experience and behavior. The differences between the left and right hemispheres were recently investigated and elaborated by R. W. Sperry and his school. In some epileptic fits, a therapy was instituted consisting of cutting the corpus callosum fibers. In that way it was possible to study both hemispheres separately.
