ABSTRACT

This article provides a review of the central ideas in interdisciplinary, holistic science, aiming to provide a unified scientific worldview. It integrates the sciences of matter, life, and consciousness and this great synthesis gives: 1) Holistic biology that extends towards physical matter on the one hand and spirit and consciousness on the other; 2) Existentially based psychology and 3) Evidence-based holistic medicine. Interdisciplinary science explains biological information, including morphogenesis and evolution. The synthesis presented explains the central life-drama of man and gives a scientific understanding of Buddha’s concept of karma: the individual’s contract with the universe to contribute to the evolution of the human species. Karma manifests a central problem of humanity in the person’s drama of life and forces the individual to find new solutions. These solutions contribute to the evolution of the human species through a structure in the collective consciousness that shamans call the “human form”. We believe that the deepest existential obligation of man is “The soul’s contract to contribute to evolution.”
