This may lead to a state of consciousness in which reality is defined to be the sum total of all that will submit to analysis by human intellect. Scientists within this state of consciousness may achieve a partial mutual awareness---but are unlikely to achieve much mutual understanding. The deepest levels of mutual awareness and mutual understanding are not achieved, they are accepted as gifts. He who seeks to make himself o.k. is not free to accept such gifts, and must in frustration strive for that which can not be achieved. The way out involves a self-awareness on the part of the scientist of the reality of his participation in reality. So long as scientists live in a collusion which denies the essential uncertainty which is inherent in their participating in reality --- so long will scientists stumble over their unexamined assumptions and limitations. The methods of natural science assume that the analyst transcends the objects of analysis. How then are natural scientists to use the methods of natural science to analyze their participation in reality? They can not, even though they all join together in a collusion to the effect that they can. To gain a mutual understanding their participation in reality, scientists must transcend the disciplined full control state of consciousness which is typical of the professional work of natural scientists. They must first have the emotional security which is necessary for them to be free to accept the essential uncertainty which goes with that transcendence. The foundations of emotional security are laid in the very first few years of life. They are not built through rationality nor through disciplined training under the full control of someone of high emotional security. The emotional security (and so the creativity) of the leading scientists of forty years into the future---will depend heavily upon the feminine students now in college, who will soon be giving birth to and giving emotional security to those scientists. Any effective long range program of science improvement will include a mutual understanding of these realities of life. (c) 1999 by Paul A.
