In
this evening lecture and two-day workshop,
Dr. Buchele and Dr.
Whitehouse will discuss Arthur Young’s groundbreaking “Theory of
Process” (“ToP”), which, we feel, is the leading candidate for a
comprehensive integrative paradigm which is cohesive, predictive,
and testable, providing an explanation of the process of “how we got
here,” and “where we might be going if we don’t understand how we
got here.” We will demonstrate several amazing applications of
ToP into the worlds of cellular and human development, including
neurological and psychological evolution, and a new model for the
maintenance of health and the treatment of “dis-ease.”
Arthur M. Young
developed a desire to reconcile Science (including Newtonian as well
as Quantum Physics and the Biological Sciences) with the Miraculous
(including the mystery of the existence of self-reflexive human
consciousness, to areas as diverse as paranormal phenomena,
spontaneous remissions and psychic healing, the possibility of
survival of consciousness beyond the physical body, and the insights
to be gained from the “ancient wisdom” religions, philosophies,
mythologies, and sacred geometries). His journey took him from
studying mathematics at Princeton, to the study of the Theory of
Relativity and the study of quantum physics, to overcoming the
problem of instability and vibration in vertical flight, leading to
his development and invention of the Bell Helicopter. The
completion of this “process” that led to the first commercially
licensed helicopter not only allowed him the insights into the
nature of process itself (from the purpose of the project, through
to its completion), but it allowed him the financial resources to
devote his life to an study of the nature of human consciousness and
how this relates to the known physical world we inhabit. His
wife Ruth organized the International Peace Academy in New York City
in response to the realization that the atomic bomb had ushered
humans into a new era, in which the choice to evolve or to destroy
rests in our hands. Arthur realized that the entrance of
humanity into the nuclear and atomic age necessitated not only
knowledge about the evolution of our consciousness, but the
necessity for an organized change in consciousness, if our evolution
is to continue upon this Spaceship Earth. |

Arthur’s 29-year study revealed
knowledge about the primacy of light, the toroidal shape of space
and time, and the reflexive nature of the evolution of matter into
life and consciousness. He determined that process goes through 7
Stages, having traversed through 4 Levels in a downward spiral
followed by a “virgin birth” turning point, and then an upward
inward spiral. His discovery is called the Theory of Process (ToP),
(also called the “Theory of Evolutionary Process” (ToEP)), and it
examines the process of the evolution of consciousness, in its
journey from light to enlightenment. This comprehensive paradigm is
described in his books primary books, released in 1976: The
Reflexive Universe (“RU”), and The Geometry of Meaning
(“GM”). Other books by or about Arthur include Mathematics
Physics and Reality, Which Way Out? and Nested Time.
His thoughts during the invention of the Bell helicopter are
documented in excerpts from his journal in The Bell Notes.

Books by Arthur M. Young
|
| From 1976 until
his death in 1995, he tested and refined his theory with further
insights gleaned through his eclectic readings, his conversations
with scientists, mystics, philosophers, and numerous others
(facilitated by the speakers he hosted at the Institute for the
Study of Consciousness in Berkeley and his study groups in
Philadelphia), and in a continued journal of his thoughts which
discussed and developed upon his insights.
Arthur refused to be a
“guru,” and instead gifted his work to the world, asking only that
his students first understand his system, then to test it, and then
to further explore and refine or improve it, not worship it.
He did want them to apply it to their own areas of interest and
expertise and “see how it flies.” In the way that he made
helicopter models and flew them, observing which models actually
flew, yet learning more when they crashed, before going to Bell to
construct the actual life sized helicopter, he also wished for
others to “test and fly” the ToP, and to revise it if it “crashed.”
Arthur has said that his development of the Theory of Process was
infinitely more important to him than his work on the helicopter,
and that understanding, further testing, and application of it could
be essential to our survival as an intelligent and self-reflexive
species.

"The earlier concept of a universe made up of physical
particles interacting according to fixed laws is no
longer tenable. It is implicit in present findings that
action rather than matter is basic. . . This is good
news, for it is no longer appropriate to think of the
universe as a gradually subsiding agitation of billiard
balls. The universe, far from being a desert of inert
particles, is a theatre of increasingly complex
organization, a stage for development in which man has a
definite place, without any upper limit to his
evolution."
--Arthur M. Young
The Reflexive Universe

|
| The purpose of our
workshop
is to bring
Arthur’s findings to others as the integrative paradigm that clearly
unites the physical and nonphysical realms and provides a framework
for further integrative studies between science and the miraculous.
The First Night’s Lecture,
Friday, November 16
will provide an overview of the entire ToP, including: it’s toroidal
shape and nature; the mapping of the 3-dimensional torus onto a
2-dimensional, 7x7 grid; the 4 Levels; and the 7 reflexive Stages
with a miraculous turning point. This lecture will cover the
basics of the ToP and is recommended either by itself, but also to
enhance the ease of understanding the information and demonstrations
in the two-day workshop.
Each morning of the workshops, we will briefly review the ToP, to
help develop further understanding of it, but also to let people who
could not attend the opening lecture, to be able to grasp the basic
ToP principles to be developed in each workshop.
In the Saturday
Morning workshop, Saturday,
November 17
will then follow with a further discussion of the ToP, showing how
this theory not only explains the process of the evolution of life
in all its forms, but also shows the process of the evolution of
consciousness as it has unfolded in our human history.
Further, these developmental stages now reveal that we are at a key
turning point in the journey to enlightenment. This current
historical 4th stage turning point requires that we conscious
entities must learn from our mistakes, and that we must now master
the right combinations before we can progress to the stage of
breaking through to our creative genius and purpose (5th stage), and
then attaining the special (magical/miraculous) powers at the stage
of the “group soul” (6th stage).
The Saturday
Afternoon Session
will build upon the foundations of ToP, and Dr. Buchele will
describe how Frank Barr, MD, specifically applied ToP to the medical
sciences in his development of his Theory of BioProcess (ToBP).
We will first focus on the groundbreaking work by Bruce Lipton, PhD
to revolutionize our view of the cell and his overthrowing of the
“dogma of the control of the cell by its DNA.” The data from
the “genome project” (which mapped the human DNA) clearly does not
support the “one gene, one protein” hypothesis, yet science has not
yet come up with a viable alternative to explain cellular life.
Bruce Lipton developed his revolutionary theory that the cellular
membrane is the true “brain” of the cell, (the “mem-brain”), in his
book, “The Biology of Belief.” Frank Barr takes this to the next
level in his upcoming book, “From Light to Enlightenment.” He
uncovers and explains the dynamics of the evolution of the key unit
of life, the cell, as explained by his Theory of BioProcess (ToBP).
We will look at Dr. Barr’s recognition of the importance of the
cellular membrane and its component molecules, but he then
discovered the remarkable properties of the molecule melanin, and
especially that of neuromelanin, and how these molecules are key to
the organization of the cell. Once these stages and dynamics
of cellular development and function are understood, we will then
see how this same 7-stage process occurs as embryological
development unfolds via BioProcess predictions. Following this
overview, we will focus on the process of the evolutionary
development of the human Central Nervous System/Brain complex and
the interface between the Mind and the Brain. We will look at
how the 4 basic rhythm patterns of the EEG are generated and
manifested, and how their proper functional interrelationships are
essential to health and to memory.
In the Sunday Workshop,
Sunday November 18
we will again briefly review the basics of the ToP, with a brief
review of the basics of ToBP, both to foster better understanding
from those attending the prior workshop, but also providing a
working guide to the following workshop presentations for those who
cannot attend either of the prior sessions.
The remainder of this workshop will delve into examples of Bob
Whitehouse’s applications of ToP into his work on EEG biofeedback,
Spectral Heart Rate Variability, and his work utilizing the
discoveries and applications of the HeartMath work. This led
to his realization of the Toroidal structure of the heart. He
will also demonstrate a new form of Biofeedback and
psychotherapeutic training using the “Wild Divine” computer
simulation interactive experience. There will be
demonstrations of the various technologies with conference
volunteers.
The workshop will end with time for discussion of the implications
for the future by the evolving applications of the principles of the
Theory of Process in other areas of our science and our society.
We are at a true “Turning Point.”
