Summary Excerpt Details

If one analyzes the past, one notes that, for thousands of years, the same roundabout has been going on and perpetuating itself over centuries and millennia; the same cycles at the individual and the diverse social levels are enacted across time, space and cultures, albeit with culture-contingent nuances – as though that was the only way of being.

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)

  • Tomorrow Means Time, the Future: This chapter introduces the concept of time as a continuous flow, linking the past, present, and future. It emphasizes the influence of past conditioning on our present and future, highlighting the challenges of transcending this conditioning for change.
  • The Logic of Time and Matter: This chapter delves into the logic of time and matter, explaining how our biological and psychological makeup is inherently tied to the concept of continuity and survival. It argues that any attempts to drastically alter this fundamental logic may be met with resistance, as it threatens the very foundation of life.
  • The Past and Its Impact on the Future: This chapter explores the limitations of relying solely on intellectual understanding for change. It points out that the power of ingrained conditioning can easily overwhelm even the most sophisticated attempts to break free from past patterns. The chapter suggests that true change requires a deeper understanding of the underlying logic of the mind.
  • The Ambivalence of Time: This chapter delves into the complexities of past conditioning and programming. It argues that merely examining the surface-level expressions of these forces is insufficient for true understanding. The author advocates for a deeper exploration of the underlying rationale behind these phenomena, encompassing not just cultural but also psychophysical aspects.
  • Building a Sustainable Future: This chapter emphasizes the importance of identifying and discarding elements of the past that hinder a sustainable future. Drawing an analogy to architecture, it argues that building a solid future requires a sound foundation that actively supports progress while discarding those elements that threaten stability.
