I sliced this video out of the movie - "MindWalk"(1990).
Its based on Fritjof Capra's novel - "The Turning Point."
This movie is a clash between the following points of view.
1. The Descartes-Newton Mechanistic/Reductionist point of view of the Cosmos, (that looks upon life as a reducible natural machine.)
2. Chaos Theory's systemic, holistic point of view of the Cosmos (that rejects the Descartes-Newton Mechanistic/Reductionist point of view.)
3. A poet's (archetype) point of view of the Cosmos.
"I feel as reduced being called a holistic system as I do being called a biological machine."
The poet rejects the Descartes-Newton point of view. As well as the systems point of view.
Life is not reducible. Life has no lego like building blocks. No fundamental level. The human being is not a reducible biological machine. If you are reducible to "fundamentals", i.e. Lego bricks, do you have any uniqueness?

I believe we are biological machines until we learn how to access very deep states of consciousness and still remain awake and aware. Our brains are already making choices for us before we even consciously think we know how we will make that choice. This appears to depress people but I think it is quite liberating knowing I can reprogram myself. That's what Tantra is all about!
Hi Allen, nice to see you back!
I believe we become biological machines at low levels of awareness....
I've noticed that people who live at low levels of awareness are highly suggestible...easily controlled...
I totally agree with you. Unfortunately I believe that the MAJORITY of people out there in the world are living at low levels of awareness and are being controlled. Definitely. Television, movies, mass-media, antidepressant drugs, lack of healthy food, depressing jobs, only seem to intensify these states even more.
From the perspective of someone aware and in control of these industries, it is probably in their best interest to keep people in their trances.
People like Vikram are dangerous to the system! :) Good stuff my friend. I'm glad to see you've kept up your writing.
