What are the major shortcomings of traditional thought systems?
The main obstacle to human development is the lack of knowledge about the nature of consciousness itself.
What is the main obstacle to human development?
The study aims to explore the major areas of human experience from a new perspective, using new tools and methods to understand human behavior and consciousness.
What is the significance of the study?
The study's findings indicate that the brain acts as a receiving set, and the body responds to stimuli, suggesting that consciousness is the law of sensitive
What is the implication of the findings?
