The Evolution of Consciousness: A New Science begins to set an agenda for science to include consciousness. This program may well result in making redundant many of the cherished assumptions of mechanical science. When consciousness is taken into account, for example, the standard fiction that space and time are physical features of an independent universe is seen for what it is: an illusion. Both are features of universal consciousness. So too is David Bohm's implicate and explicate orders, while the universe is not full of information as many scientists have thought, but full of the relations of Meaning.

This book demonstrates how humans have seven ways to see and make meaning of the world. These represent the steps in the evolution of consciousness as well as the developmental phases in each person's spiritual path. Each of these ways of seeing has an internal bias for there can be no unbiased or objective ways to observe. The more trustworthy observations are those that closely mirror the interconnecting structure of Meaning itself.
