Our world is making a profound shift to a new paradigm. The old paradigm served humanity for many years, and in some ways serves us still. Yet this exciting new paradigm is paving the way for a more loving, harmonious way of living and interacting with all around us.
.

The below comparison is an attempt to capture the spirit of the old and new paradigm without the intention of making one better than the other, yet also inviting us to join in welcoming inspiring new ways which can support us all in
being the best we can be and making a difference in our
lives and world.

New Paradigm Comparisons

Old: Man is born into sin, essentially corrupt at the core.

New: All people in their core essence are beautiful and worthy of love.

.
Old: Hatred and vengeance are justified for wrongs suffered. An eye for an eye.

New: Love is the most transformative force. Forgiveness is an act of courage and compassion.

.

Old: Don't show real feelings, or you'll get hurt. Create a convincing persona to present to the world.

New: Welcome authenticity and vulnerability. It's all about being honest and real with each other.

.
Old: Emphasis on hierarchies. Focus on competition so that the best rise to the top of the hierarchy.

New: Emphasis on equality. Focus on cooperation in order to support the greatest good for all.

.
Old: Avoid personal responsibility by blaming those above or below in the hierarchy.

New: Take personal responsibility for actions and learn from our mistakes.

.
Old: People need to be led or controlled by those believed to be better or more capable.

New: Each individual is a powerful creator capable of meeting their needs with the help of others.

.
Old: The mind and science are supreme. The scientific paradigm supersedes God and religion.

New: The heart and personal relationships are of paramount importance. The deepest essence of life is a divine mystery to be welcomed and explored.

.
Old: Don't question accepted scientific paradigm. Focus on three-dimensional, five-sensory world.

New: Foster fluid intelligence. Explore the edges of consciousness, especially other dimensions and capabilities not believed to be possible under the old paradigm.

.

New: Recognizing the interconnectedness of all life leads to greater growth and harmony.

.
Old: Focus on order, discipline.

New: Welcome flexibility, even occasional chaos and disorder as means to see new possibilities.

.
Old: Value boundaries, borders, and divisions. These give security, safety, and comfort.

New: While respecting and honoring differences, look for shared vision and ways to work together. Take risks in order to grow. Short-term pain can bring long-term gain.

.
Old: You can't trust anyone.

New: Surrender to and trust in a divine force greater than our egoic selves.

.
Old: Focus on defeating and conquering the enemy, us versus them. War against evil.

New: Committed to transforming and integrating life's challenges. The external reflects the internal.

.
Old: Focus on details, complexity.

New: Remember the bigger picture. Identify simple principles behind the complexities of life.

.
Old: Look outwards for guidance. Don't trust self. Have rigid rules and beliefs.

New: Look inwards and outwards for guidance. Develop intuition. Flexible guidelines and beliefs.

.

.
We all have our feet in both paradigms. How much we live in each paradigm is but a matter of degree. The old paradigm is not necessarily something to be shunned or avoided. There are times when principles of both paradigms can be useful and beneficial. Yet overall, the new paradigm invites more love, support, and deeper connection into our lives and world. In every moment, we can consciously choose the paradigm to which we give our focus, time, and energy.

.
Remember that all of us to some degree are afraid of our shadows. At times we avoid looking at the disturbing parts of ourselves and our world. Yet consider that a willingness to explore and even dance with these shadows can be a potent catalyst to a new paradigm. And when we set a clear life intention to support what's best for all, our lives can't help but become richer and more fulfilling.

PBS Documentary Gives Virtual Proof NSA Could Have Stopped 9/11, But Didn't

PBS Documentary Gives Virtual Proof NSA Could Have Stopped 9/11, But Didn't

Dear friends,

The Spy Factory is a penetrating documentary produced by PBS Nova which gives virtual proof that the NSA could have stopped 9/11.

Based largely on the excellent work of bestselling author and former ABC News investigative producer James Bamford, The Spy Factory leaves no doubt that the NSA was following several of the alleged hijackers for many months before 9/11 and refused to share the vital information they gathered with the FBI or CIA.

Among the many other strange incidents presented is how starting in 1996, the NSA was able to listen in on all of Osama bin Laden's private phone conversations with Al Qaeda's headquarters in Yemen. As Bamford states towards the end of the documentary, "the NSA had all the information it needed to stop the hijackers."

James Bamford is the intrepid journalist who broke the story on Operation Northwoods. He presented declassified documents on this top secret operation revealing that "in the early 1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba" (see ABC News article here). Though this shocking news was reported on ABC, no other major network picked up the story. 

The astonishing Northwoods documents show that the top Pentagon generals were willing to kill US civilians and falsely blame it on the Cubans as a ruse to get the American public to support war against Cuba. In the same fashion, could 9/11 have in some way been a means to get the US involved in a never-ending war in the Middle East? 

In the beautifully produced, 52-minute PBS documentary Spy Factory, interviews with Bamford and numerous former officials of the NSA show that we are far from understanding all that happened on that fateful day.

To watch the full revealing video, click on this link:
https://www.personalgrowthcourses.net/video/911/spy-factory-pbs-nova

 

Among those calling for a new, impartial investigation of 9/11 are 50 government and military officials, over 3,000 architects and engineers, over 100 professors, 250 pilots and aviation officials, and 300 9/11 survivors and family members. As detailed in the links provided, they have all publicly stated that the 9/11 Commission Report is fatally flawed. Among these respected individuals are two former U.S. Senators, a former FBI director, the former president of Italy, and many more. 

Hundreds of major media articles also raise serious questions about the official story of 9/11. You can find a two-page summary of dozens of these articles with links for verification at this link. A longer ten-page summary at this link goes into much more detail.

With best wishes for a transformed world,

Shifting Paradigms Toward Divine Wisdom and Understanding by Wingmakers | PEERS

Toward Divine Wisdom and Understanding
Shifting Paradigms

The wisdom and understanding of our own divine essence is like a beacon that invites us inward toward ever deeper connection with ourselves and with all around us. Yet rather than look within, most prefer to look outward for wisdom, thus sustaining a dependence on a vast hierarchy that stretches between the individual and the Divine. In all our wanderings away from the Divine, humankind has obscured its most compelling features through a persistent belief in limitations arising out of the controlling mechanisms of this hierarchy.

The Divine dances outside of the confines of any hierarchical structures. It is complete within itself, and has a singular purpose of demonstrating the collective potential of all life within the universe. It is the archetype of perfection. It is the standard bearer of each soul's innate design and ultimate destiny. The essence of the Divine is far beyond mental conception, yet humanity's tendency is to resort to the limiting language of the hierarchical paradigm to define and understand it.

The Hierarchical Paradigm: Searching for Connection and Wholeness

When people are unaware of their inner wisdom and wholeness, they tend to search for order and security outside themselves. Uncertain of their place within the hierarchical order of the world, they define themselves based upon their insecurities. Individuals thus become only pieces of their wholeness and like shards of glass from a beautiful vase, they bear little resemblance to their aggregate beauty. Within the hierarchy, many in high positions of power have taken advantage of our collective insecurities in attempting to guide the development of all humankind. They have obscured the direct connection between the individual and the Divine through a variety of means designed to intercede between our inner essence and our divine source.

Each individual can come to know themselves to be free of all forms of hierarchical control. This is not to imply that we should not trust others or join together in bonds of friendship and community. It is simply a reminder that relative truth is constantly shifting in the hands of those who desire to control. And even when the motive for their controlling behaviors may be of good will, it is still a form of control. When the revealers of "truth" within the hierarchy withhold and suppress information, they are usually positioning themselves to maintain or acquire more power rather than to disseminate empowerment to all.

The desire for connection and wholeness is a fuel that drives us to seek out and explore the hierarchical paradigm. This inner longing provides us with the motivation to seek help and guidance from a specific group within the hierarchy, and in so doing, cultivate a sense of belonging and connection. Furthermore, the hierarchical paradigm is a stage whereby we develop a sense of connection to some grand, encompassing vision. This is why the hierarchy nurtures prophets who point toward a greater vision.

Spiritual leaders are able to peer deeply beneath the surface reality of life and experience how intricately connected every life form is, and how the composite of all life is intelligent far beyond measure. These visionary leaders can thus interpret reality through their personal abilities to perceive and express life's dimensional depth and limitless intelligence. Yet no one is able to articulate life's full dimensional depth and breadth with the tools of language. They can only, at best, describe their interpretation or their impressions.

In actuality, all of us are able to peer beneath the surface reality of life and perceive a unique vision of the universe. We require only time and intention to develop our own interpretations. And this is precisely what many great spiritual leaders have taught. Life's deeper essence is not an absolute to be experienced by the chosen few, but an evolving, dynamic intelligence that wears as many faces as there are life forms. No group or people has the exclusive portal into the universe by which the Divine expresses itself in all its majesty. The portal is open and available to all, because the Divine is within all things.

Those recognized as great prophets each produced a vision of the universe beyond what was currently defined by the hierarchy. Because their interpretations were articulated with authority and depth of insight, they became a target of debate among various groups in the hierarchy. This debate then created a polarity of belief. A sympathetic constituency emerged to defend and embellish their leader's interpretation, while established groups held it in contempt of previously held beliefs. Invariably, the leader's vision became confined and shaped into dogma by followers who desired to create a new religion or sect. Thus, this infusion of fresh insight quietly receded into the hands of the hierarchy, where its deeper meaning was obscured by the very fact that it was incorporated into a rigid structure that both protected and promoted it.

The Transformation Paradigm: Inner Wisdom and Understanding

A new paradigm is emerging that promotes a clear connection of individual consciousness to the compelling features of the Divine without the intervention of a hierarchy. This is when the fables and myths of history step into the light and become known as they were originally intended. This is the time when language will be transformed into a new form of communication that breaks down all barriers of control. Personal transformation, through the awakening of inner wisdom and understanding, is the pathway into wholeness.

The transformation paradigm is initiated simply by the recognition that rather than the dependency-inducing ways of the hierarchical paradigm, there are accelerated, independent pathways that bypass the hierarchy and lead to self-mastery. These new pathways lead to the divine wisdom and understanding that is present within all of us. This wisdom can be accessed through the practice of three principles of transformation: seeing the Divine in all, nurturance of life, and gratitude. The application of these life principles disengages individuals from the controlling elements of the hierarchy, thus initiating the transformation experience.

As there are relative truths, there are relative freedoms. As individuals evolve through the hierarchical process, an ever-increasing sense of freedom is gained, yet external forces continue to exert control through limiting language, confining belief systems, and more. These controlling influences lead to continued reliance upon the hierarchy as it unceasingly attempts to impose a sense of inequality between us. The underlying equation of the hierarchical paradigm is: individual + hierarchy = God connection. In the case of personal transformation it is: individual + inner wisdom and understanding = divine equality with all.

The Synthesis Paradigm: Integration

The time has come to integrate the dominant paradigm of the hierarchy with the liberating transformation paradigm. This integration occurs naturally once we have fully explored the two paradigms and develop a synthesis paradigm whereby transformation is attained by searching for connection and wholeness through our own inner wisdom and understanding. It is this combination of release from dependency on the hierarchy and transformation from within that initiates the synthesis paradigm.

Once we take responsibility for our own transformation and integration, it does not mean that the hierarchy is to be shunned or avoided. The hierarchy is quite benign as a manipulative force and merely represents one important stage in the journey toward wholeness. What is being set in motion now is the initial preparation for these paradigm shifts. More specifically, these paradigms will be simultaneously played out over the coming years. As always, it will be the choice of each one of us as to which paradigm we embrace in our journey.

All of the highest imaginings of humanity are yet unaware of our deepest foundation. We have sought the upper reaches of the building, yet remain unaware of the foundation's design. It is here, at the very core of existence that the Divine is bursting forth with its creative energy while simultaneously reintegrating with its invitation to wholeness. It is here that equality is realized, not in the lofty places of relative truth lodged in the hierarchy, but rather in the deepest part of the foundational plan of life's original source and ultimate destiny. The origin and destiny of existence is the tone of equality in life. Listen for this tone – this frequency of vibration – and follow it back into the very foundation from whence all things arise and return.

Consider these words as symbols only. Feel the truth that stands behind these words, and tap into this empowering energy force that reaches out for you. Know it as a tone or vibration – a resonance that waits for you around every corner in which your life will turn. It is a beacon of the Divine gathering itself into the form of language in order to usher you to a place from which you can experience the formless tone of equality – the bypass of limitation. It is the primal language of our divine source that bestows to you the freedom to generate your own deepest beauty in the expression of your highest truth.
