Title: The Paradigm Conspiracy
First published: 1996
Description: The Paradigm Conspiracy refers to the methods by which "our Systems of Government, Church, School, and Culture Violate our Human Potential".  The book asserts how a global crisis of addictions is the outcome of such oppression. Recovery from this paradigm is a personal spiritual shift in assumptions, opening to the wholeness of the whole brain and awareness of the insanity of only using half because of the thinking addiction that keeps us living in fear. Through self-knowledge, self-disclosure, and self-acceptance we can learn the paradigm filters, break through paradigm defenses and build systems on who we are as spiritual and whole human beings. The book discusses the power of dialoguing out of closed systems and awakening to connectedness. With connected action, connected souls, we can conspire to ongoing paradigm evolution. This book is revolutionary in that it addresses how substance addictions are not the only problem; we are also caught in process addictions in family, workplaces, churches, schools, that teach us to carry out soul-abusing systems of greed, scapegoating, and oppression. Only a spiritual awakening of recovery from such a paradigm will bring change, and that requires consciousness.
