Allen is a scientist. Curiosity is one of his predominant characteristics. Motivated by that curiosity, he cultures three primary qualities: unrelenting honesty about what he is feeling, thinking, and expressing; openness, unguarded receptivity to new information and experience; and willingness to pursue new avenues of thought and behavior.
The path of his career has been in terms of two great traditions: the outward orientation focused on objects of knowledge that predominates in European and North American science, and the inward orientation focused on the knower and the process of knowing, that is the subject of Vedic science. Many people find these two traditions to be in contrast. In Allen's work they are complimentary. When appreciated in their fullness, the two traditions validate each other.
