Chatting with a friend, Jerry, recently reminded me of the table sketched out during Be The Change with Chopra and friends.\u00a0 It is reproduced below.\u00a0 The full newsletter August 2006 is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With the help of science, we are shifting into a new paradigm, not only of the human body-mind, but of our very interpretation of nature itself.\u00a0 This shift in our thinking sees the body-mind as an expression of a larger wholeness.<\/p>\n

\u00a0THE OLD PARADIGM<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
\n

THE NEW PARADIGM<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

The superstition of materialism says that were separated from our source and from one another.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
\n

\u00a0The unified field of pure consciousness says that we are connected to our source and to one another.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

\u00a0The world is composed of visible, solid matter and invisible, non material energy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
\n

The world is composed of one underlying, unmanifest field of intelligence that manifests as the infinite diversity of the universe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

Sensory experience – what we can see, hear, smell, taste or touch – is the crucial test of reality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
\n

The field of intelligence experienced subjectively is the mind; the same field experienced objectively is the world of material objects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

Solid objects, or visible clumps of matter, are separated from one another in space and time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
\n

“Solid” objects are not solid at all, nor are they separate from one another in space and time.\u00a0 Objects are focal points, or concentrations of intelligence, within the field of intelligence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

Mind and matter are separate, independent entities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
\n

Mind and matter are essentially the same.\u00a0 Both are the offspring of the field of pure consciousness, which conceives and constructs the whole world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

The body is a physical machine that has somehow learned how to think.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
\n

Infinite consciousness somehow creates the mind and then expresses itself as the body.\u00a0 The body-mind is the field of pure consciousness itself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

Human beings are self-contained entities with well-defined edges to the body.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
\n

Human beings are inseparably interconnected with the patterns of intelligence in the whole cosmos.\u00a0 At the most fundamental levels of nature, there are no well defined edges between our personal body and the universe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

\u00a0THE OLD PARADIGM<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
\n

THE NEW PARADIGM<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

The human body is composed of matter frozen in space and time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
\n

The human body-mind is a changing, pulsating pattern of intelligence that constantly re-creates itself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

Our needs are separate from the needs of other living beings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
\n

Our needs are interdependent and inseparable from the needs of other living beings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

The external world is real because it is physical.\u00a0 Our internal world is unreal because it exists in the imagination.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
\n

The external world and the internal world are the projections of one Being, the source of all creation.\u00a0 Both are patterns of movement of energy within infinite consciousness.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

The superstition of materialism says that we live in a local universe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
\n

The unified field of pure consciousness says that we live in a nonlocal universe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

\u00a0Location in space is an absolute phenomenon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
\n

Everything in the cosmos is nonlocal, meaning we can’t confine it to here, there, or anywhere.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

Location in space exists independently of an observer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
\n

Location in space is a matter of perception.\u00a0 Near or far, or up or down, and east or west are only true from the vantage point of the observer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

The thinking mind is localized in the brain, and the body’s intelligence is localized in the nervous system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
\n

The thinking mind is part of a vast field of nonlocal intelligence that extends far beyond the reaches of the cosmos.\u00a0 The body’s intelligence comes from the same nonlocal field.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

\n

THE NEW PARADIGM<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

Time is an absolute phenomenon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
\n

Time is a relative phenomenon.\u00a0 Physicists, no longer use the word time; they use the term space-time continuum.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

\u00a0Time is local, measurable, and limited.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
\n

\u00a0Time is nonlocal, immeasurable, and eternal.\u00a0 The fact that we can localize time is just a notion, a perceptual artefact based on the quality of our attention.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

Humans are entangled in a vast web of time that includes past, present, and future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
\n

There is no past or future, then and now, before or after; there is only the eternal moment.\u00a0 Eternity extends backward and forward from every moment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

Time exists independently of an observer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
\n

Time only exists in the mind of an observer.\u00a0 Time is a concept, an internal dialogue we use to explain our perception or experience of change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

Things happen one at a time.\u00a0 The world operates through linear cause-effect relationships.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
\n

Everything happens simultaneously, and everything is correlated and instantly synchronized with everything else.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

How we interpret our experience of time has no effect on our physiology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
\n

\u00a0How we interpret our experience of time brings about physiological changes in our body.\u00a0 Entropy and aging are partly in an expression of how we metabolize or interpret time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u00a0THE NEW PARADIGM<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

The superstition of materialism says that we live in an objective universe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
\n

The unified field of pure consciousness says we live in a subjective universe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

The world “out there” is completely independent of an observer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
\n

The world “out there” does not exist without an observer; it is a response of the observer.\u00a0 Through the act of observation, we construct the world we live in.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

Observation is an automatic phenomenon.\u00a0 Our senses are capable of interpreting an objective reality in an objective manner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
\n

We live in a participatory universe.\u00a0 We learn to interpret the world through our senses, and this brings about our perceptual experiences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

Our inner world and our outer world are dependent upon our relationships, our environment, and the situations and circumstances around us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\n
\n

Our inner world and our outer world interdependently co-arise depending on the level of vibration of our spirit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
