I’ve spoken about this a lot. And I’ve found the rhetoric to be mind maddeningly deafening at the same time as being pointless.
A paradigm is a function of perception. Mass perception.
As with everything there are going to be agreed upon definitions and boundaries of any given circumstance or thing, so do let’s dispense with the formalities of paradigms and simply agree that a paradigm shift is a large change in the way human beings think usually taking place over a generation or two.
The shift we are now in the grips of is the shift toward quantum thinking, the interconnectedness of everything and that everything plays a role in the nature of reality. The observer largely chooses the nature of reality, in essence. And one cannot exist without having a relationship with all existence, and affect that existence.
This brings me to nationalism and globalism. Only one can address this new way of thinking, and only one can survive.
We are one people on one earth and this new way of thinking will create the circumstance of thought we need as a people to continue to achieve and exist within the quality of life we all desire.
