Rethinking Survival: Getting to the Positive Paradigm of Change

Albert Einstein is the real hero of Rethinking Survival. Readers worldwide are becoming increasingly ready to heed the prophetic warnings of this internationally loved and respected genius. "We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive." Einstein already had the Unified Theory, but didn't know it. As West reveals here, he missed it because he lacked the yoga-compatible model of concentric circles into which gradations of light, energy and mass are placed in a two-directional, infinite continuum. The Positive Paradigm Wheel pictures an elegantly simple yet complete and correct reality map. It meets the Occam’s Razor standard: maximum inclusiveness with greatest brevity. Rethinking builds on the work of comparative religion legend Joseph Campbell. It answers his concern that myths don't meet today's needs. The Positive Paradigm is a framework which, in his words, recognizes "the humanity of a person on the other side of the hemisphere." It shows how "experience on the purely physical plane" resonates with "innermost being and reality." Structure. Rethinking starts with THE PREMISE: Why You Will Want to Read Rethinking. Part One, GETTING THERE is autobiographical. It tells the story of how West's ideas evolved, answering the questions: What is the author's background; what are her qualifications? Why is she writing, and why did she wait so long? Part Two, THE POSITIVE PARADIGM describes the Positive Paradigm of Change in depth. Readers are invited to work with the model to instill Einstein's "new way of thinking." Illustrations worth a thousand words each talk to the right brain, balancing left brain text. The paradigm is used to define key concepts like creativity and love. Democracy is subject to the laser scrutiny of the Positive Paradigm. Part Three, ATHEISM ANSWERED takes atheism head on, putting it in Positive Paradigm context. Open letters to Putin, Soros, Clinton and Beck demonstrate the connection between ideas, practical politics and survival. Readers are called to participate actively as connectors and salesmen, tipping us in the direction of a Positive Paradigm shift.
