The materialistic western view of the world attempts to break every subject down into component parts in order to understand and control its causes more effectively. However, this is not an invariably successful approach. Indeed, contemporary events are demonstrating its shortcomings. For example, if any lesson emerges from the spectacular failure of Western medicine to eradicate disease, it is that disease cannot be reduced to a single cause, nor can it be explained within prevailing linear, scientific parameters. In other words, complexity is the hallmark of disease. Our reductionistic worldview needs to accept a holistic model and a way of living that is more spontaneous, pluralistic, joyful, integrative, constructive and life-sustaining. We need a cosmology that helps us view the big picture and be aware of the context of every problem. Our solutions must become holistic, transnational, transgenerational and hopefully transcendental in focus.
