ABSTRACT
So, by now we have established what our reigning paradigm is and heard why it is time to renew it. We have discussed that there are aspects of our reality that are simply not in keeping with the way we view the world: there is no convincing scientific explanation for consciousness; we do not understand how brain function can result in the experience of feeling like somebody. Furthermore, modern-day physics is telling us our world looks very different at the subatomic scale, where quantum systems have both particle and wave-like properties and only take on one or the other when they are measured. We need a new paradigm that can incorporate these as yet poorly understood aspects of our reality.
