             Therefore, as consciousness is difficult to objectify and difficult to discuss without the subjective component of experience, this has resulted in the present impasse with regard to consciousness studies in the sciences. However, as many scientists realize and openly acknowledge, the enduring aim of all knowledge and science is to understand the foundation of human experience and reality. This involves a more inclusive approach and particularly one that includes the aspect of subjective experience. .

             the ultimate passion of the Western mind over two thousand five hundred years has been to understand the ground of its own being. Being conscious is central to being human-and an understanding of consciousness has to be reflexive. From studying the things that we experience, we progress to studying the experiencer and the experience.

             This gap or distance between science and other systems of knowledge and thought has been realized as an aspect that has to be remedied by many modern scientists and thinkers. The problem that the sciences experience is largely one which relates to a certain perspective which, while extremely important, is limited in various ways. This has led contemporary thinkers, like Authur Young to suggest a more comprehensive and inclusive method of understanding human consciousness and reality. .

             Part 2. Arthur Young and the Theory of Process,.

             The foundation of Young's Theory of Process is a model of consciousness and reality which is based on the synthesis of various systems of thought, including number theory, geometry , theosophy, astrology, yoga, mythology and other modes of knowledge, including the sciences. (The Theory of Process) .

             Therefore Young's theory is inclusive rather than exclusive and attempts to integrate and heal the divide between science and religious thought. .

             Young's view of the dilemma of scientific knowledge and the purpose of his Theory of Process is clearly outlined in the following quotation.
