Will, Ego, and Evidence

Abstract

In this article the author postulates that the striving of a human being to change the reality goes along with and, at the same time, contradicts to the striving to change the consciousness. Psychedelic ways of changes of consciousness are considered as an element of the formation and the development of culture. The article put forward the arguments postulating the definition of the civilisation as a “whole transportational”, formed by two systems of life subsistence. Author supports the view of Erwin Schrödinger on the fact that the irrefutable personal experience confirms the existence of ego, which has a psychic energy (will).
