The Wisdom of the World's Great Spiritual Traditions

Paradigm shift  needs a smart, appropriate and inclusive set of ideals and values. The Primer looks to the wisdom of the world's great spiritual traditions. To be clear, this is not about religion. Rather, virtually all the world's great spiritual traditions all through history, regardless of location and culture, have basic values in common in terms of ethical social behavior and humanity's relationship with the natural world.

These ideals and values can be the platform in scale from a be the change lifestyle to an economic system.


These ideals are perfect for paradigm shift and they go like this -


1] Care for the natural world - The well being of the environment should be a primary concern for humanity. Our own                lifestyles should create minimal damage to the natural world and public health.  The teachings of all the world's great spiritual traditions call for modesty of lifestyle on behalf of the natural world and society.

2] Modesty of lifestyle - An individual life and society not distracted or driven by vanity and excess, is a core ideal for paradigm shift. Prioritize time and money - redirect wasteful spending to paradigm shift.  Home, support others doing 
important work for sustainability and uplift. A modest lifestyle frees up time and money for positive use. Modest lifestyles also reduce participation with the un healthy economic system.


3] Service to the community - Devoting time to contribute to the well being of others in the neighborhood and beyond is fundamental to a healthy person and society. Volunteer with and support others doing positive work for people and planet.

4] Accountability for our actions – Our own lives impact the world around use. Paradigm shift calls on people to take responsibility for how they behave towards each other and the natural world. Persons and entities degrading social and environmental well being should be called out in a constructive way.

5] Uplift of the spirit –  A primary goal in life as individuals and society is to purposefully expand our awareness and capacity to become more compassionate and caring to others and the planet. A core ideal of paradigm shift is to liberate positive human potential.  An uplifted spirit creates positive interactions with others and raises the vibe of the community and wider world.

These ideals can guide an individual's own life, an affinity group, a society an economic system. All these ideals support each other. They are core ideals for paradigm shift. They also call on leaders and persons of faith to recognize and act on the beliefs they share with each other so they are more able to work effectively together on behalf of all humanity and the natural world. Faith groups should be among those leading the charge for paradigm shift.
