consciousness-based education and governmentFigure 1. The progressive unification <strong>of</strong> the four fundamental forces <strong>of</strong> nature(left-hand side) along with the systematic technology to access and apply theunified field for the benefit <strong>of</strong> human life (right hand side). 32that “every stage in the sequential unfoldment <strong>of</strong> the laws <strong>of</strong> naturefrom the unified field has its corresponding Lagrangian, bringing tolight new qualities <strong>of</strong> the unified field, which were present but unexpressedat the level <strong>of</strong> the superstring.” 33 The first property that Hagelindescribes among the unified field properties is intelligence:By assumption, the unified field is the unified source <strong>of</strong> all the laws <strong>of</strong>nature governing physics at every scale. These laws <strong>of</strong> nature formallyexpress the order and intelligence inherent in natural phenomena. Ifthere were no laws <strong>of</strong> nature, there would be no consistent patterns <strong>of</strong>behavior, and nature would be unintelligible. If, as particle physicistsbelieve, all the laws <strong>of</strong> nature have their dynamical origin in the unifiedfield, then the unified field must itself embody the total intelligence <strong>of</strong>nature’s functioning. 34Thus, when we consider approaching the issue <strong>of</strong> human securityon both individual and global levels, we should access the organizingpower and inherent intelligence <strong>of</strong> natural law itself, which is alwaysfunctioning in nature to maintain orderliness and harmony among itsconstituent parts. When this same intelligence is enlivened in individualawareness and on the level <strong>of</strong> society, it is capable <strong>of</strong> creating coherence,which will disallow harmful influences <strong>of</strong> narrow thinking, stress, andfatigue, to overwhelm the good intentions <strong>of</strong> people everywhere.64
