Positive Human Potential, Uplift The Spirit
Positive human potential and uplift of the spirit are the points of departure for paradigm shift. Positive human potential refers to the abundant and often slumbering capacity we all have for becoming a person with vision and know how to participate in paradigm shift and to benefit our own well being along with the rest of society and planet earth. 

Uplift is turning our positive human potentials into action. Uplift, as used in the Primer, is the purposeful intention and choice to improve the spiritual, social and intellectual condition of oneself and society. We have potentials and capacities as individuals that can contribute in scale, depth and benefits to people and planet when we cooperate and make common cause with others.

Paradigm shift is the purposeful outcome when positive human potential combines with uplift of the spirit. 

Other aspects of paradigm shift such as wisdom of the world's great spiritual traditions, permaculture, reducing eco footprints and others give practical real life direction to our own lifestyles and communities that add up to sustainability and the forward and upward movement of society. 

These aspects of paradigm shift can ultimately replace capitalism and its consumer culture.
