For a long time we thought of the world as a machine. Now we are beginning to see it as organic. The New Physics reveals that everything is energy and energy cannot be destroyed. This has profound implications.
The main way we relate to this energy is with a brain that in in a dark cavity with no direct contact with the external world. It receives information form our sensory organs in the form of electrical signals which are translated into thoughts after it is first categorized into hierarchies.
Apparently about 95% of this process takes place in our subconscious mind, which does not use words, so we are consciously aware of only a small, filtered version of the over-all experience. One of the most important filters is emotion. Thoughts flagged with strong emotion have the highest priority in the order of what is to be considered.
Survival is the strongest emotion. The two basic motives we all have are approach and avoidance. If a child touches something hot and burns a finger, it triggers an unconscious memory process. After that if a finger touches something hot, instinct takes over and the body begins to withdraw the finger even before there is any conscious awareness if injury.
Instinctual programming operates on several levels. For example emotional trauma programs an avoidance pattern not unlike a burned finger. On another level we develop behavior patterns with which we were programmed very early in life.
More or less automatically we adopt the social beliefs and behaviors of our relatives, our tribe, and even our geographic region to some extent. Some of these values may be problematic, antiquated, prejudiced, or otherwise incorrect. So we can sometimes be quite sincere but dead wrong. Tradition has advantages and disadvantages.
A paradigm shift brings about large scale changes. What seemed to be working in the past is challenged and changed. Individually and collectively our value structures get an overhaul. Paradigms can be social, intellectual, political, economic, etc. Often it is a combination of those factors.
A few of the past paradigm shifts: when humans went from hunter-gatherer nomads to an agriculturalists living in houses; feudalism, the printing press, Discovery of the New World; The European Renaissance and Religious Reformation; The Industrial Revolution, Newtonian Scientism.
Obviously some paradigms last a long time and overlap. Some of the current overlapping paradigms include: The Nuclear Age, The Space Age, The Digital Age, Climate Change, The population Explosion, the Digital Age, the Virus Pandemic, and economic instability.
There are other paradigm shifts happening related to our understanding of the ultimate nature of reality. Apparently a New Age Paradigm is also bringing about big changes having to do with Sociology, Psychology, Health and Wellness. Much of this is in response to big changes in stress levels, diseases, and drastic changes in the food chain.
We are apparently
seeing the beginning of the Age of Aquarius, which is supposed to
last for about 2,500 years. Some believe that there is also a kind
of Spiritual paradigm change happening. Astrologers say that a 26,000
year cycle has ended. Some Gurus say that there is a shift from
masculine dominated energies into an era when feminine energies will
be prevalent.
They say that masculine forces of aggression, violence, exploitation, and war has brought us to the brink of annihilation as a species. They say that for thousands of years feminine energies have been oppressed and violated, and a return to honoring feminine energies becoming prevalent again may be our salvation.
It seems that there
is yet another paradigm which is about extra-terrestrial aliens. It
may not in fact be a new occurrence, but possibly very very old,
though suppressed. However this topic is getting considerable
internet coverage and much of it seems more and more credible.
Wikipedia encyclopedia has a very long list of reported UFO sightings
and another large reference list. YouTube also offers many videos
about UFOs. On TV the History Channel
has a whole section devoted to extra-terrestrials, This topic has been
sensationalized by the media to such an extent as to seem part of a plot to bury the facts in mountains of misinformation.
One of the more profound implications about recent UFO info is that our ideas of divinity may have derived in part from extra-terrestrial beings that seemed like gods to ancient humans.They had super-human abilities; they traveled in "fiery ships in the sky," and did various things that seemed miraculous to humans. They seemed to be immortal, apparently regenerated damage, possessed superhuman physical attributes, and had heightened senses, much like what we call angels or gods.
The Anunnaki are "the Sumerian deities of the old primordial time;" a pantheon of gods who were the children of the sky god Anu and his sister, Ki. These gods are very similar to the gods that you would know from ancient Greece and Rome, and this is the first time that we hear about the garden of Eden that we know from the Bible. Within the Sumerian tablets, Ninlil asks the Council of seven to create what is called "Eden." which is a heavenly garden.
Former US military pilots say that aliens have deactivated British and US nuclear missiles. Many of the internet videos about UFOs are intentionally spooky, or just plain silly, like a Halloween carnival (especially the older ones). But if you click the negative stuff away there is some interesting and enlightening choices.
