The Integral Pradigm of Arthur M. Young

In view of The Harmony Model, I like to promote, it is calming to come across the integrating ideas of Arthur M. Young, the "Theory of Process", with all the scientific background of his callibre.

Young beautiful minds

I don't know how I got to these sides of a young scholar. Internet is the fortune of this generation, which makes such access to such diversed minds possible. With all these tremendous references he makes and suggests it is highly interesting to witness how consciousness works on such beautiful minds (Cosma! etc.). If consciousness meets the hard components it worths, the bliss of knowledge is the significant function of the special "quality of music, 'q' " (I= hq*q) I would always like to remember....(see Franklin Merrell-Wolff's experience)

---------------The Relationship of Music – quality of music to Intelligence:

".. A tiny melody from the Cosmic Symphony " , which trilled "joyously into the mind – a little stretch born forth from the Grand Harmony." And from this a wave of joy was distilled and pulsed through " .... " There were no words, no ideas, not any other form, yet one might say It was the very essence of Sound and Meaning. It was utterly satisfactory and filling. It was the veryPower that makes all things to become clear. Again there flowed the Current of gentle joy that penetrates through and through…. It appears as of the nature of a fluid, for there is this sense of ‘flowing through’. It penetrated all tensions with the effect of physical release.
All over and through and through there is a quality that may well be described as physiological happiness. The organism feels no craving for sensuous distraction to find enjoyment. "2
(2 -- As quoted from Franklin Merrell-Wolff, Pathways Through To Space (New York: Warner Books, 1976; in the Epilogue to "The Harmony Model" I promote)

If only I were 30 years younger and had remained hold of the moment with the necessary "grey matter".

Anyhow learning is also not so bad a property. I have n't regretted so far to look into his sides, full of treasure, without of course never losing my own small treasure, rational opinion.

On Whitehead's Philosophy of education

Alfred North Whitehead’s Informal Philosophy of
Education
RONALD F. BLASIUS
Professor, Community College of Denver, Denver, Colorado, U.S.A.
......

"The thought process and action process work together harmoniously, or should work harmoniously. “It has in view of progress toward harmony, but the harmony is forever active and alive.”8 The person who is truly educated has precise knowledge of some area of human endeavor, but also possesses a flexibility and versatility in other areas of thought. This educated man has comfort in this world with interest in the future and interest in the vastness of his universe. The question that will allow for comfort, precise and general knowledge? How can we have “creative harmony” and “creative disturbance” at the same time? We must note that “creative disturbance” simply means the desire to know more, the pleasant frustration of simply “wanting to know”." 1

"THE CHALLENGE OF CONSCIOUSNESS RESEARCH"

I have come these days across a senior Nobel Prize Laureate (1973),

Brian Josephson,

researching on "Mind and Matter".

Prof. Brian Josephson has a critical mind towards the community of science, as experienced today. Among the several valuable contributions on "consciousness", I would like to point to the following, which helped me more in understanding the "Harmony Model" I am promoting:
