The Magic Notes
Few can hear the magic notes and have danced with joy together.
Many have been drowned by the noise of fame and their desire for material gain.
The universe cries for what could be, the choices that went wrong.
It cries for those who pass this way and didn’t awake to sing their song.
Understanding and addressing
the root cause of societal problems
One important resource I have found very valuable is Riane Eisler’s book The Chalice and the Blade.
She concludes from her extensive research that there have only been two societal paradigms that humankind has successfully used to
enable survival. One she refers to as the domineering paradigm and the other the partnership paradigm. Her view is that “The
domineering paradigm likely leads humanity to a tragic evolutionary dead-end, the equitable and sustainable partnership paradigm
is both biologically possible and culturally attainable”.
From my personal research I believe the primary challenge we face is not recognizing the need to
embrace the partnership paradigm, but rather how to achieve the transition from the domineering paradigm while sustaining and improving
prosperity. This website contains personal insights I have gained over my life’s journey, much in the hard school of experience, on how
to facilitate this transition thus enabling us to build together a happy and healthy world for ourselves, future generations, and our planet.
