THE PHYSICALIST/MATERIALIST MODEL

1) The mind is solely the result of physiologic processes;
2) Each consciousness is a discrete entity;
3) No communication possible except through the defined physiologic senses;
4) Consciousness dwells entirely within time/space.

The Physicalist/Materialist Model still enjoys dominance but is dying. In its place an interdependent perspective is emerging which challenges materialist assumptions. Some of its principal hallmarks are:

THE INTERDEPENDENT INTERCONNECTED CONSCIOUSNESS MODEL

1) Only certain aspects of the mind are the result of physiologic processes;
2) Consciousness is causal, and physical reality is its manifestation;
3) All consciousnesses, regardless of their physical manifestations, are part of a network of life which they both inform and influence and are informed and influenced by: there is a passage back and forth between the individual and the collective;
4) Some aspects of consciousness are not limited by time/space.
