Abstract
Result of research on the subject of Integral Ecology shows that rational analytic experience of the world cannot resolve ecological problems of today world. In order to preserve life we have to raise systematically human consciousness which offers experience of deep connectedness with nature and other human beings. This synthetic experience is the ground for sustainable and peaceful society which will live in cohabitation with nature. 
Key words: rational experience, analytic experience, conscious experience, synthetic experience, mind, consciousness

Povzetek
Rezultati raziskave Celostna ekologija kažejo, da racionalna analitična izkušnja sveta ne more razrešiti ekoloških problemov današnjega svata. Za ohranitev življenja moramo začeti s sistematičnim razvojem človekove zavesti, ki daje izkušnjo globoke povezanosti z naravo in ljudmi. Ta sintetična izkušnja je temelj trajnostne družbe, ki bo živela v sožitju z naravo.
Ključne besede: racionalna izkušnja, analitična izkušnja, zavestna izkušnja, sintetična izkušnja, razum, zavest

Introduction
The process of analytic scientific experience of the world is following: 
world - perception - mind processing in a concept of linear time - experience

Common scientific experience is in time. We experience the world in a perspective of inner time “past-present-future”. Scientific experience divides world in a separate entities. With practicing observation (watching, witnessing) the way scientific mind works one can become aware of inner time and experiences world consciously without time interfering. One experiences the world in a perspective of “everlasting present moment”, of “eternal now”. In the process of conscious experience there is no mind processing:

world - perception - experience
Conscious experience is synthetic; it reaches beyond division “subject - object”; it integrates “observer” and “observed” into “Oneness”. In this Oneness all separations between man and nature, between different religions, races and nations are becoming nonessential, secondary. One becomes aware of interconnectedness of the man with nature and entire universe. Experience of Oneness rises quality of human relation with nature, other human beings and him/herself (1)
 

Recently proposed Interpretation of Time in Physics integrates
Scientific and Conscious Experience

Back in 1949 Kurt Gödel proposed that fourth coordinate of space-time is spatial too, means space itself is timeless. Recent research confirms his thesis: physical time is run of clocks in timeless space. Speed of clocks depends on the strength of gravitational field in a given volume of timeless space; stronger is gravitational field, slower is speed of clocks. There is no physical time existing behind run of clocks. Universe is a timeless phenomenon (2,3).

We experience in science change in timeless world through the concept of inner linear time “past-present-future”, which has its physical origins in neuronal activity of the brain.

“The brain is the 'local' creator of time, space and space-time as our special maps of reality we 'observe' and participate in”(4).

“Time is a fundamental dimension of life. It is crucial for decisions about quantity, speed of movement and rate of return, as well as for motor control in walking, speech, playing or appreciating music, and participating in sports. Traditionally, the way in which time is perceived, represented and estimated has been explained using a pacemaker-accumulator model that is not only straightforward, but also surprisingly powerful in explaining behavioural and biological data. However, recent advances have challenged this traditional view. It is now proposed that the brain represents time in a distributed manner and tells the time by detecting the coincidental activation of different neural populations (5).

Scientific experience of the world is indirect in time. Conscious experience of the world is direct and without time. Right understanding of physical time as a run of clocks in timeless space is integrating analytic scientific experience and conscious synthetic experience.

Conscious Observer is preserving Life
Unconscious observer is imprisoned in inner linear time. He experiences that changes in the world are happening in present moments that are following one after other. With observing (watching, witnessing) the way scientific mind works observer becomes aware and so free of inner time. He/she experiences changes in the universe as a dynamics of timeless Oneness. Unconscious observer is under psychological pressure of continuous creation of the profit in time. Conscious observer is acting in accordance with cosmic law of dynamic equilibrium, of giving and receiving in present moment.

With rising awareness of the way rational mind functions and creates our world people will become highly responsible for their thinking and creating. All industry that pollutes today our planet was first imagined by the scientific mind and than realized. With rising of human consciousness world-vide idea of profit will be replaced with idea of dynamical equilibrium, of giving and receiving. 

Conclusions
Sustainable development of the world can be reached with combining analytic and synthetic experience of the world. By complementary development of analytical thinking and conscious experience we will create technologically highly developed planetary society that will live in harmony with the nature and with the universe. In this process plays decisive role systematic rising of consciousness in educational system which will have as an outcome highly responsible individual able to preserve nature and human race.
