Abstract
There can be little doubt that certain fundamentals of Eastern thought are being integrated or assimilated into Western culture. This development preceded, but is related to, the radical theology and the drug movements. The confrontations produced by the "Death of God" and LSD movements emphasize a global swing of the pendulum: from the rational to the intuitive, from the seen to the unseen, from the conscious to the unconscious.The challenge would appear to be not so much toward science outcomes but to rational thought as such. The empirical methods which science has used to obtain its outcomes have forced upon Western culture a linear, part-by-part, "show-me" perception. Since empiricism has proven to be a disappointment in dealing with life's essential nature - the metaphysics of Being - the instinctive and unconscious forces of mind may be rising again, even in an era when scientific rationalism had appeared to be solidly entrenched.
