What is needed and evolving is a metamorphosis in basic cultural premises and all aspects of social roles and institutions. What is needed is a new consciousness in which competition will be balanced with cooperation and individualism will be balanced with love. It will be a ‘cosmic consciousness,’ a ‘higher consciousness,’ which relates self-interest to the interests of fellow man and of future generations. And it will entail nothing short of a fundamental transformation of truly awesome magnitude.
