A Vehicle And Model For Paradigm Transformation!
By Rusty Stewart, Ph.D..
I do believe this article is way overdue. I've been holding back because I want others to be a part of this conversation and dialogue. And they have. But not to the extent that I was hoping for. So as a leader in the community I am putting out there what I envision as a vehicle and model for paradigm transformation! For those of you who have been following my newsletters and emails, I and other community leaders are manifesting an educational, healing, spiritual, and community center in the Philadelphia area. We need it! It's time! However, this is much more than just a center. Let me explain.
The paradigm of capitalism and competition, the way it is currently practiced in this country, does not work! Why? Because it is a scarcity model. It is Darwinian. It promotes the survival of the fittest. Or should I say the survival of who can get their share of the limited pie at any cost. The result is the haves and the have-nots, a rapidly deteriorating environment, vanishing natural resources, attachment to things, war inside and outside our country, and largely a consciousness of apathy, indifference, ambivalence, victimization, helplessness, denial, fear, and pessimism. Is it any wonder there is such a sharp polarization in this country. So who is right and who is wrong? Nobody! Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy, because you can't have both?
So here's the beginning of a conversation for something different. I encourage your participation and contribution. This is just what I have accumulated over the years by listening to other people. Remember, there are no original thoughts! This holistic educational, healing, spiritual, and community center will be founded on the following principles: Love (the absence of the illusion of fear), abundance, cooperation and promotion of all (other centers and community talents), including people in the community that are not directly involved with the center (non-competition), inclusion (all are welcome at the center), sustainability (environmentally green), horizontal organization structure (collaboration in decision making), partnerships with other centers and organizations (possible revenue sharing and joint ventures and events), memberships (clustered services and programs), community outreach, trade work programs, integrated spirituality (the absence of dogma), diversity, peace initiatives, social justice, a safe haven, and other various profit centers (healthy café and bookstore, etc.). This is not an exhaustive list by any means.
The idea is to create and manifest an experience that raises the vibration of consciousness and models the transformation of a financially successful and organically holistic paradigm structure that extends the healing power of Love, abundance, and oneness! There can be no compromise! This paradigm is the only direction that makes sense given the shortcomings and results produced by all the other economic models and mindsets of the past. Will you join us?
I am reminded of the power of the mind and our thoughts by the movie “The Secret.” I just returned from James Ray's “Harmonic Wealth Weekend!” What a powerful seminar!
I encourage everyone to check out his website and enroll in his workshops. Much of my work is heavily influenced by “The Secret” and James Ray's material. After last weekend, I'm convinced that anything is possible if we focus our mindset and follow the recipe for abundance in all areas of our lives! This center is a thought (idea) that will happen and manifest to the beat of a new paradigm. Please consider joining our efforts anyway you can! I look forward to the exciting new challenges that await us! I commit to stretching and positioning myself on the teetering edge as I move into my greatness and grow the Christ within. I am Christ Shiva Das!
Peace and Love to All,
Rusty (Christ Shiva Das)
