Abstract
The new paradigm, which is opening due to new discoveries and research in science and society, brings a fundamental change towards a holistic and an ecological perspective. Spirituality, which was discarded by the Cartesian-Newtonian world view is experiencing a renaissance.
Spirituality as an important, innate dimension of life, which is part of a meaningful personal experience, and is found to be a part of the process of cultural evolution. Spiritual process, in terms of evolution to higher states of consciousness, is our own innermost potential.
We live in a mono phase society, in which the waking state of consciousness, is regarded as the only acceptable and normal, it is the only section of knowledge suitable for the reproduction of information about the world. Through anthropological research, we know that most human communities considered poly phased consciousness crucial to deeper knowledge.
In the new paradigm spirituality occupies a significant place, but a uniformed approach to study the concept of spirituality is lacking. The subject of spirituality and culture attempts to outline a coherent theory of a comprehensive study of spirituality in the future culturological concept in the context of western Christian education and in relation to current scientific discoveries.
Addressing the global crisis is in linking the environmental, horizontal plane with the vertical transcendental plane. The horizontal plane stresses pro-environmental cultural strategy and highlights the close connection of philosophy, science and politics and the vertical plane points to the existence of levels and degrees of consciousness and in the context of all mankind, appreciates the inner transformation in each of us.
This personal internal transformation indirectly affects cultural evolution.
