Holism

To outline a new and multi-dimensional approach towards spiritual and religious expression, which impacts upon economics, politics and business practice, in which the emphasis is on wholeness and integration, rather than separation and compartmentalism. The paper is adapted from the author's most recent book, Soulution, and sets out a "manifesto" for the holistic approach to spiritual and social success. The author chronicles the development of a new consciousness evolving in spite - or more likely because - of the decline of churches, political parties and other traditional forms of association in Western society. He describes this new consciousness as holism and sees it as a replacement for the failed ideologies of the recent past. The body of ideas associated with the "New Age" is having an increasing influence on areas such as politics and business. This article fuses the main New Age themes into a practical program, accessible to those who wish to understand a growing cultural movement.
