During my formal education from the late 1940s to the early 1960s, I did not learn what my contemporaries learned because I could see that what I was being taught in religion, science, economics, mathematics, and logic did not make sense as a coherent whole. As I could intuitively see as a seven-year-old, a world that is at war with itself cannot lead to Inner Peace, a prerequisite for World Peace.
So, when evolution came to make the most radical change of direction in its 13.8-billion-year history in the spring of 1980, I had very little to unlearn. To develop a comprehensive model of the psychodynamics of society, I could start afresh at the very beginning as a Holoramic autodidactic visionary, learning what my parents and teachers could not teach me in childhood and adolescence because they did not understand themselves.
Because of our mechanistic cultural conditioning in childhood, it is not easy to know what it means to be human as adults, compared to the other animals and machines with so-called artificial intelligence (AI). Yes, Gnosis goes some way towards such an understanding, but it does not go far enough.
As a consequence, my contemporaries do not generally have the necessary life experience to understand how the creative power of Life has given me the commonsensical, universal method that is needed to integrate all knowledge in all cultures and disciplines into a coherent whole. But, neither do their children and grandchildren, who have learned what the authorities wanted them to learn, as specialists rather than generalists.
Yes, specialists are needed to reach peak performance, as concert pianists, for instance, and to manage the complexities of the body politic, like cells in our bodies. But organs, as aggregates of cells, have a sense that they are serving the whole, unlike businesses, political parties, and nations, constantly fighting each other for a slice of the finite monetary pie.
Such divisive enculturation has been happening for hundreds and thousands of years, as each generation passes on to their children what they have learned from their parents. Thus attachment to family, tribe, and culture is collectively preventing us from being carried Home to Wholeness and the Truth at evolution’s glorious culmination.
So, it is the lot of pioneering evolutionaries to be ignored and rejected for not fitting into the fragmented social structures that constitute what Erich Fromm called a ‘sick society’ in 1956. In the words of Jiddu Krishnamurti, “It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”
There is thus very little prospect that Paul Hague could be of service to humanity before our inevitable extinction as a species, quite likely before 2030. So, as I live in solitude beside a Swedish forest, next month I plan to close down the website for the Alliance for Mystical Pragmatics, which has been my main channel of communications since 2014.
However, as a final flourish, in recent weeks I have set up a Panosopher Substack with the title ‘Wholeness Now’, showing how it is possible to complete the final revolution in science in just eleven short posts. The last, titled ‘Ultimate Reality’, places this total transformation of consciousness into its historical perspective.
For nothing else matters as humankind is driven to extinction by the accelerating pace of irreversible global heating but to heal the split between humanity and Divinity, as the Immortal Ground of Being, knowing that Love is the Divine Essence we all share.
