Reality can be interpreted in many ways, but two distinctly different ways are the mental and the emotional interpretation. The traditional way of thinking in science today is the first: an often simple and mechanical interpretation of reality that empowers us to handle the outer physical world with great, often brutal efficiency. The development of a mind that enables us to handle the outer physical world and survive makes a lot of sense from an evolutionary perspective; the problem is that the mental reason and linear logic reduces all phenomena to well-defined interacting objects, which might not exist from a deeper perspective of reality. A more intuitive way to interpret the world makes much more sense, when it comes to our human relations. So to function as a human being, we need both these two ways of seeing the world, and two different modi operandi. In many patients, we find an internalized conflict between logical and mental reasoning on one hand, and emotional and sexual approach to reality and human needs on the other. We speculate that this conflict causes the deep emotional problems that really are the basis of most human diseases. Only by merging brain-mind and body-mind will we be whole and free and truly ourselves. We need to develop our mental understanding, deepen our cosmology, and develop our sexuality and body-mind in order to make them meet and merge. To facilitate this existential healing, we propose a third integrative way of looking at our human nature, which we call "the energetic-informational interpretation of reality". What it does is allows us to look at both brain-mind and body-mind as a highly structured field of "energy and information". Energy and information are actually the same from a scientific point of view; when the world is seen through the body-mind, it looks more like energy; when seen though the brain-mind, it looks more like information.
现实可以有多种解读方式,但其中两种截然不同的方式是精神层面的解读和情感层面的解读。当今科学界的传统思维方式是前者:对现实的一种通常简单且机械的解读,它使我们能够以极高的、往往是粗暴的效率应对外部物质世界。从进化的角度来看,发展出一种使我们能够应对外部物质世界并生存下来的思维方式是很有意义的;问题在于,精神理性和线性逻辑将所有现象简化为定义明确的相互作用对象,而从更深层次的现实角度来看,这些对象可能并不存在。当涉及到人际关系时,一种更直观的解读世界的方式更有意义。所以,要作为一个人正常生活,我们需要这两种看待世界的方式以及两种不同的运作模式。在许多患者身上,我们发现一方面是逻辑和精神推理之间的内在冲突,另一方面是对现实和人类需求的情感及性方面的态度之间的内在冲突。我们推测这种冲突导致了深层次的情感问题,而这些问题实际上是大多数人类疾病的根源。只有将脑-心和身-心融合,我们才能完整、自由并成为真正的自己。我们需要拓展精神认知,深化宇宙观,并发展我们的性特征和身-心,以使它们相互契合与融合。为了促进这种存在意义上的疗愈,我们提出一种看待人性的第三种综合方式,我们称之为“现实的能量-信息解读”。它的作用是让我们将脑-心和身-心都视为一个高度结构化的“能量与信息”场。从科学角度来看,能量和信息实际上是相同的;当通过身-心来看世界时,它看起来更像能量;当通过脑-心来看时,它看起来更像信息。
