Health as Expanding Consciousness
|
Dr.
Margaret A. Newman
RN
Ph.D.
|
The theory of health as
expanding consciousness stems from Rogers’ theory of
unitary human beings. Rogers’ assumptions regarding
patterning of persons in interaction with the
environment are basic to the view that consciousness
is a manifestation of an evolving pattern of
person-environment interaction.
Consciousness is defined as the informational capacity
of the system (in this case, the human being); that
is, the ability of the system to interact with the
environment (Bentov, 1978). Consciousness includes not
only the cognitive and affective awareness normally
associated with consciousness, but also the
interconnectedness of the entire living system, which
includes physiochemical maintenance and growth
processes as well as the immune system. This pattern
of information, which is the consciousness of the
system, is part of a larger, undivided pattern of an
expanding universe.
