8. SYNERGETIC HOLISM Fritjof Capra
The universe is an evolutionary process
From the quantum vacuum fluctuation to the building of civilization
The evolutionary steps are the stages of self-organization:
Dissipative structure,
Autopoietic process,
Reflexive social system
There are four holistic components
Structure, Process, Pattern and Meaning

9. SYNERGETIC HOLISM Ervin Laszlo
The universe is the fluctuation of the fundamental quantum vacuum
The vacuum is controlled by a holistic scalar field (holofield) the akasha
The field is the source of matter, life and consciousness
The field is storing all information of the universe

10. SYNERGETIC HOLISM Danah Zohar
The universe is an energetic process
from quantum vacuum return to quantum vacuum
There are two forms of energy:
individual fermionic particles (materi) and
collective bosonic wave (mental)
The highest consciousness is
The fusion of the self consciousness and the universal consciousness
