So, hi there again. Now we come to chapter 2. In chapter 2 I want to deal with in this way that we spend some time on what I would call creation of new paradigms.
Sorry, I am having a coffee here. So, in order to understand paradigm we have to know first what is a paradigm. So what are paradigms?
Paradigms are not ideas as we know conventionally of an idea. Paradigms are the underlying structure on which you build ideas, on which the entire society structures are built.
These paradigms are the hidden layers upon which something you take for granted as you are having an idea but you are building upon an existing paradigm.
I will give an example. These are basic beliefs. Let us see the first bullet. It says paradigms are basic beliefs, thought structures and patterns based upon which all other ideas are built and created.
So let us talk about that for a little bit. Now what is the difference between paradigms and ideas? Well paradigms are the ground, the foundation upon which ideas are built upon.
And we usually do not see these paradigms because they are built by deeper structures of human civilization like our institutions, educational institutions, governance, laws, educational institutions, faiths and religion.
They are based on certain paradigms. Most of the time their assumptions will get to the part later but these are basic beliefs and thought structures and patterns in which you say humans are in any culture or part of the world.
If you go they say, oh this is what we believe to be unquestioned truth and based upon this we will build other ideas. So those are the underlying things upon which all ideas rest.
Like the foundation of a building, the entire building rests on a foundation which goes into the ground and the building stands on top of it.
So paradigms are like the foundational ideas. So it is necessary when we talk of, as we have spoken of in the first chapter, we have spoken of we need to create a new human being, we need to create a new civilization and all this stuff.
And now we are saying we need new paradigms in order to, for that to happen successfully.
It's like if you want to build a new building or a new kind of building you need to first remove the very foundation, not just destroy what's on top.
You even need to dig up the ground and remove the foundation because the new building may have a different kind of structure which needs a different kind of foundation.
We are talking about something like that here. We are talking about something that basic over here.
And so we need to establish new paradigms.
Well, what is an example of, before we go into that, what is an example, good example of an assumption of a paradigm?
In every society in modern living these days we get up if we are young or old and let's start from the young age. You're told you get up, you must go to school, you must be a study well, you get good grades, you get good marks and then you'll become successful or you get a job or a business and then you can be a successful person in life.
Now the assumptions, underlying assumptions made here is that you must study something for what is not told.
Why should I study certain things or how is it aligned with me as a human being?
Remember we spoke in chapter one about human being's basic criteria, basic definition.
The human being, the five pillars of human being, knowledge, compassion, understanding, love, beauty, all of these, the human nature of the human being is the basic foundation really.
But our modern paradigms do not sit upon that. They are not built upon that. They are built on assumptions.
You study, you go to school, you get a job and then you'll be successful.
Underlying all of this is the assumption that you must comply or go by or obey the established structure.
The established structure being you have to study certain books, memorize them so that it gets ingrained into your brain so that your brain works in a certain pattern and using that pattern you will fit into the society which is already pre-structured.
So the existing paradigms always move you, move all the humanity through certain preset structures.
Let it be any institution. You talk of education, government, religion, faith, this, that.
All of these basic structures, they just are herding entire loads of humanity through a set of pre-established paradigms.
Now we want to break them. If you have to remove the old building, you have to remove the old foundation, only then you can build a new one.
Most paradigms, let's go to the next one. That's one example.
Most paradigms that exist today have silent assumptions built in them which causes a lot of confusion in human states of being.
So that's what I'm saying. We all know of all of us, let it be students, let it be academics, let it be professionals.
We all know of the daily grind that we get up in, doesn't matter what age we are or where we are, thinking, why am I getting up?
I am not happy about doing whatever the things I am doing. Why am I supposed to do all these things? What is it getting me in my life?
What is this whole life thing about? Constant state of confusion because of the silent assumptions that are built in that if you do A, B, C, D,
then you will get to X, Y, Z which is what you are supposed to do. See, you are supposed to be like this.
You are supposed to do this. You are supposed to that. You are supposed to this.
That's an assumption. They are silent. They are in the background.
But those, if they are not in alignment with what the human being is, what the basic structure of the human being in spirit and action is,
then it's not going to lead you to happiness as an individual. Doesn't matter what society says or what government says.
You might even have the Pope or Alexander the Great coming and telling you something. It's not going to make you happy. You are an individual being.
Next one, the new paradise must be built around the true human being and being in action and symbiotic, synthetic circle.
We discussed previous chapter. First chapter one, we discussed this.
So everything must be built around the human being and the human being in action and around the symbiotic, synthetic circle.
What else is there? The new paradise must be fully transparent without assumptions or hidden agendas.
Whatever society was going on till now was built upon control and manipulation. Everything is about control.
The teacher has to control the classroom. The priest has to control his church, a temple, a mosque or whatever it is.
The military commander must control his regiment. The government must control its people. It's all about control and manipulation.
That's not suitable at all to the human being or what the human being is really about.
No wonder the humans all are unhappy. It doesn't matter what they do or how much success they have in material wealth or in anything.
They might be the most richest of the rich. They are very, very unhappy. There is a constant void inside them because they are not being in touch with the real being and what it needs.
So the new paradise must be fully transparent. Transparent meaning, it must be fully aligned with human being and human being in action.
And with the synthesis and symbiotic relationship. It must always enhance the true freedom of expression.
Meaning, you get up every morning and you are free to express whatever you want which is in alignment with the human being in actions.
The true human being and the true human being in actions, you will naturally wake up bubbling to create.
You want to actually get up and do something by yourself without your mother, father saying anything, without your teacher saying anything, without your boss saying anything, without the government saying anything, without anybody charismatic leader coming and shouting out slogans from anything.
You don't have to be brainwashed by anyone. You will be naturally happy. You are in a natural state of being, natural state of happiness, natural state of creation, action, everything.
And so what are the spherical processes? I call them now spherical processes. What is spherical process?
Means it goes in all directions. It's a sphere and it's not linear. It's not a straight line.
I am given bullets 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 but these bullets are all wound up together. One can lead to the other or you can follow them in any structure, any order you want.
There is no final point to this. This is just a concept, how we need to evolve.
The first thing we need to do in order to build a new paradigm, we have to end the stories, myths and beliefs. There are too many stories floating around, too many myths, too many belief systems and faiths, too many this and that, too many history stories.
People have a gall of telling you that history repeats itself. Of course it will repeat itself because you are telling the same story over and over again.
How do you expect anything to change if you keep telling the same story over and over again?
So you have to end the stories, all stories. There should be no stories, it should be factual. Everything should be based in fact, science and provable and in alignment with human being.
Next, we have to end assumptions, programming and scientific assumption based truths or laws. We still keep going by Apple drop on Newton's head or Einstein's laws as if nobody passed Newton or Einstein as what any brain worth it solved.
This is ridiculous. Human civilizations have come and gone on this planet. Many have had great scientific knowledge and progress to your research.
Human civilization is continuously evolving, it's not static. Science did not end with Newton or Tesla or Einstein. Come on.
There are all of you out there, I am sure you have got far more ideas to contribute and you can make far more fundamental breakthroughs in science and technology even.
Where is that? Why is all that not coming out?
So we must destroy the assumptions and the programming that whatever laws we have made so far even in science are the ultimate.
We should be ready to break our old laws. Any science has progressed by breaking the old laws and evolving new laws as in even by scientific proving it has been evolved.
Nobody would believe just half a century ago, nobody would believe quantum physics would exist. Quantum physics broke all the laws of Newtonian physics.
They are very very different. Just go and do your research.
Next point I make is about something what I call integrative analysis.
Let me read out this and then we can explain this.
What is integrative analysis? All known scientific and empirical evidence, whatever has been established so far.
There is a scientific empirical evidence and multilateral collective of human knowledge. All the knowledge of humanity has ever accumulated in any field till this point.
You integrated by learning and discussions. First is the analysis and the integration of all knowledge.
How can this be done? There is so much of knowledge in every field.
Discuss it in the forum. Debate it. Challenge it. How it meets the sphere of the human being. Does it meet it or not?
If it is not rejected, expand it to meet the human being.
Everything must be recreated in the spirit of enhancing the human being.
It is not that everything has to be completely destroyed.
Knowledge has been accumulated with some degree of perception by our human brothers and sisters who are dead and gone now.
Scientists, doctors, whoever. But we need to re-evolve which is more aligned with the correct human being.
Next one. Differential synthesis. What does this mean?
Combining fields of knowledge with overlaps where applicable.
That means if something evolved, discovered in biology, we can discover how it is applicable in physics.
If something is discovered in chemistry, we can discover how it is applied in psychology. Why not?
Nobody has done this exercise. I am proposing here we do something called differential synthesis.
Different ideas but synthesize them.
The translation of scientific knowledge and how it is discovered in one field can be applied to seemingly unrelated field.
How can physics be applied to painting or how can chemistry be applied to mobile phones?
You know what I am saying?
There must be discoveries happening right now and all along which has happened which can be used in different fields.
Unseemingly unrelated but the principle is the same.
Once the principle is discovered in something, you can always use it in other places.
You need to think about this.
Huge topic all of these. These are basic foundational ideas.
Last. Focus. Fundamental breakthroughs. What should be the focus of creating new paradigm?
We should create fundamental breakthroughs.
What will be the example of fundamental breakthrough?
Well, invention of the wheel, invention of electricity, invention of alternating current,
invention of atomic power, invention of flight.
Then man could fly in a machine, planes or rocket.
That's the fundamental breakthrough.
How you breakthrough at the most deepest level?
Inventure of an atom, discovery of an atom.
Not saying the same things over and over again.
We haven't seen a fundamental breakthrough in decades now.
The last fundamental breakthrough was back when quantum physics was developed by Einstein.
Since then there is nothing.
Everybody is running around just with smartphones as if there is a fundamental breakthrough.
No, fundamental breakthrough is something where you, let's say we discover antigravity.
We discover how to make objects levitate physically with laws of physics, new physics.
That's a fundamental breakthrough.
What if we invent new form of energy?
That will be a fundamental breakthrough.
So that what it means by saying focus on fundamental breakthroughs, not saying the same thing again and again and improve.
Not an improved version of your mobile phone.
This is different.
So, again we are revisiting the slides, the sphere of the human being.
It should be done with this as the basis.
We need to get this as the basis in everything.
This is what the human being is.
This is what we are here to create individually and collectively.
You must always remember these two points.
This one, this one.
Actions seek to enhance human spirit.
Human spirit always seeks to be engaged in every action.
This is the human being, spirit in being.
This is the human spirit in action.
This is the circle of life we should always be building the new paradigms towards.
And what's the goal?
The new paradigm goal should be, again revisiting from the chapter 1.
Paradigms should support self-sustaining cycle of all life on Earth.
Paradigms must support synthesis, making of all elementals.
Paradigms must support human spirit.
Paradigms must enhance the two relations, humans to humans and humans to Earth at the same time.
So I'll leave you with this with the shorter version of the creation of new paradigms.
Think about it. Thank you for listening.
