I'm not sure that those two knowledge criteria are necessary nor
sufficient to bring about a feeling of living with open eyes and beating
hearts. The limited/locked perspective of screen-bent living is in
itself a severe handicap to producing the wisdom that listening to and
opening the heart brings. As for the opening of the eyes, it may
require the absolute presence of apocalyptic/prophetic vision -- that
is, vision where the veil of the material (the bridal veil covering the
eyes) is removed and a full awareness of the present moment is revealed
in all its terrible beauty...
I would not be looking to a stable technocratic academic to produce such
a revelation, though anything is possible in this world.
