Revolution...
The world nowadays is coming to a new era. A revolution is taking place in our minds. It means that our old mindset during last century is going to be replaced with a whole new mindset. That is why we say that we are now entering a CONCEPTUAL AGE.
During the last century, which is 20th century or known as the digital age, materialism was priority in people's minds. People believed that physical possessions were more important than the spiritual values.This belief has made many countries developing fast in economy as people would work hard to achieve a comfortable lifestyle. Japan is one of the good examples of that. The Japanese government has put in efforts in developing the country's economy by encouraging people to work hard for the country. The education field was developed by putting emphasis in Mathematics and Science subjects.
However, when we come to the new era, all we did during the last century are not enough to fulfill our needs. This is because our current lifestyle is already enriched with various kind of possessions. People now are looking for the hidden values behind the things. We want more than that. We start to think about the meaning of life.
That is why more and more people, especially those from developed countries in Europe go for meditation. They want to get the answer through "deep-thought". That is what the religious cultivators at ancient time did to get the answer about life and death.
The desire to get the hidden values behind things is only one of the features of this Conceptual Age.
