OT/MP is a project about a nation at war with itself.  The soldiers are you, me, all of us.  Those who are marching to the drum beat of this war do not hear the drum. They do not even know that there is a war of the kind that I refer to, or that they are soldiers.  They cannot know, then, that within present trends the outcome will not have a happy "Hollywood" ending.  Therefore, they cannot create a positive outcome to this war. How can they when they do not know there is war and that they are its soldiers.  Nor do they suspect that they and their loved ones can and will be harmed by continued inaction and ignorance regarding this war. In their mental stupor they take no action on what can and must soon be done to protect themselves and their dear ones.  Instead, they invest in the three fatal "d's:" distractions, diversions, and denial.

But there are a growing few who have begun to suspect that all is not entirely well within our society.  We occasionally hear fractured alarms, much like the cries of the mythical Henny Penny. Which of these alarms are valid and which are not?  What is the price of responding to the wrong message, bad advice, or like most, choosing to act out a negligent indifference?

Some of us may feel a vague tension much like that when we suspect the fury of an approaching storm.   But for most of us, the encroaching thunder we hear over a not too distant horizon is only weather, not war.  But those who do worry about the future of this society do so in confused, unfocused, and non specific ways.  Or they have confidently set themselves upon a mistaken goal.  They confidently follow bad advice.  Those few who do know or suspect there is a war, and that it is heating up, and that it already adversely affects us, do not know exactly what to do about it.  How can these dilemmas be resolved?  Meanwhile, the wolves are circling.

In the presence of these challenges, I offer you a unique antidote as the Mystical Paradigm.  So you may reasonable ask what is in it for me, for my loved ones and associates, and for those organizations an institutions I care about?

What is in this Mystical Paradigm (MP) for me, personally?
If I were limited to explain in one word, that word would be, "empowerment."  But then I must suggest some of the primary areas where this empowerment can be experienced.  These areas include, but are not limited to:

detect opportunity and threat that can affect you, to do so more effectively, even in the face of complexity, confusion, and stress
detect personal defects that originate within your ego intellect so as to  inhibit or compromise positive interpersonal relations
assess and select more effective and reliable options for you to promote and achieve positive and stable outcomes from problem solving investments you make in your behalf
detect and assess social and economic forecasts so as to act with greater Wisdom in your own behalf
design and implement tactics and strategies based on Spiritual (not religious) Principles that more effectively and reliably support and carry forward your goals and plans
benefit more reliably from your actions by creating and maintaining improved health and peace of mind, even in the midst of every level of stress
open a broader, more accurate, and reliable window for you to interpret the relevance and importance of events going on in your life, and to do this at every level of social complexity, e.g., interpersonal, family and group, organizational, society wide, and even internationally
understand both how and why the MP's tactics and strategies work, so that you can create the conditions that optimize the likelihood of success.

What is in this MP for my family, friends, and community?
To choose only two words in this case, those words would be "healing "and "harmony," i.e., to:

detect more quickly, and with greater accuracy and reliability (through the power of applied Spiritual (not religions) Principles, those pathological conditions that create or maintain divisiveness, distrust, and, communication break downs in family, groups and community organizations, and sort out the sources of interpersonal distress among its members
assess and select corrective options based on Spiritual (not religious) Principles that can most effectively heal and harmonize interpersonal distress in family, groups of interest, and community organizations (e.g., schools, churches, fraternal organizations.) .
design and implement tactical and strategic plans for resolving both temporary and intractable problems so as to restore, maintain and enhance harmony and satisfaction of those who participate in these social systems
act more effectively in applying the MP's Spiritual Principles directly to conflict resolution through Spiritual Principles applied to mediation in order to heal interpersonal and systemic distress

What is in this MP for the organizations that I work for or serve, or which ought to serve me?   These include businesses and corporations, educational systems, and institutes and agencies of every kind.

detect those interpersonal and organizational conditions within your organization that create dysfunction's and pathology of every kind, i.e., those that frustrate normal corrective actions, and which introduce error, inefficiencies, mistrust, and compromised morale within the organization
detect the pathological influences of external organizations, e.g. corporations, whose missions and practices adversely affect you, your loved ones, your organization,  your community. and our entire society
assess. select, and design Spiritually grounded options that can improve interpersonal relationships and organizational efficiencies within your organization's structure;
assess the causal factors that create and energize organizational pathology based on the presence and contributions of innate human error (e.g., unrecognized ego driven power and control agendas,) that influence misplaced goals and expectations of its managers and staff.
assess and design Spiritually grounded solutions for those conditions that empower external organizations to adversely affect you, your family, your  organization, and your community.
implement those Spiritually validated tactics and strategies which have the greatest possibility to restore organizational integrity, and promote trust and cooperation among its internal elements
implement political interventions based on Spiritual Principle to correct or halt the abusive practices of external organizations (e.g., corporations and the governments they now own,) so as to correct their dysfunctional or pathological impact on you, your family, your organization, and your community

What is in this MP for that special collection of entities we call "government?"  Incorrect, misplaced,  or incomplete understanding of the nature and role of government are major contributors to the problems we face.  The MP can empower you to more effectively:

detect defective and pathological practices and influences of government due to unrecognized, and/or unchallenged power and control agendas, both:
        (1) internal factors related to organizational structure, policy, executive decision making priorities, and staff performance, and especially,
        (2) external pathological influences and interventions by forces other than the electorate, e.g., corporations and political and religious extremists (i.e., power and control obsessed lobbyists)
detect those internal pressure points where whistleblower and other internal personnel can be most effective in detecting power and control related corruption and dysfunction that serve to compromise and adversely affect the proper and effective performance of government,
design and assess from a variety of political options, those factors, forces, and candidates that are consistent with Spiritual Principles, and therefore, have the best chance of correcting, developing, and optimizing the government to better serve the electorate rather than only the most powerful political action groups
more effectively communicate and implement Spiritually valid healing and corrective party platforms to influence and garner the support of a majority of the electorate.
more effectively influence the controlling political party (i.e., those in power in Congress)  to legislate Spiritually valid corrective practices that optimize the performance of the government in behalf of the electorate,

What is in this for all of us collectively, our society? That includes the special collection of ethnic peoples of all economic classes, organizations, institutions, and our various levels of government?  Where society is concerned, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.  Therefore, the effects of serious dysfunction's in one subsystem of society can have amplified adverse effects across the whole of society.  Since the interactive and interdependent nature of these relationships are often lost in the haze of complexity for most observers, and further confounded by being processed through ego driven power and control agendas, the MP can have the following positive effects for those who wish to understand and create a more just and harmonious society:

detect more accurately the various interpersonal power networks that actually operate key elements of our society
detect those decision makers (and their institutional extensions) who function to create the greatest potential blessings or evil for society
detect Spiritually grounded possibilities to position the United States to become a more healing, protective and respected force in the international community
detect  those points of potential intervention that can have the more positive and stable impact on widespread social change
design and evaluate a variety of Spiritually grounded social interventions that have the greatest chance of taking hold to produce positive social change
implement identified programs of social intervention and change, to involve more individuals and organizations, and to operate in the most effective and credible manner

How is the MP different from any other existing program that I am involved with or could choose from, i.e., how will the MP uniquely get the job done for me, and those I may want to involve?  Almost all other programs of intervention to detect, assess, and implement a healing of social defects at every level of society, and across these levels, are intellectual in nature.  At the very least, the active ingredient in all such criticism, development, and corrective intervention is intellectual in nature.

The MP will demonstrate how and why this characteristic of being anchored to the ego driven intellect is a serious defect that inhibits the solution and resolution of social problems, or which renders applied intellectual solutions unstable even when they are successful. The MP can unmask the keys to detecting the source of pathology, and designing the best strategies and tactics for the resolution of problems at every level of social complexity, from the individual (you) to society as a whole, and to include the possibility of improved resolution of international problems.

To those who wish to address problems at the level of the society in order to heal and not exploit them, the MP's will reveal to you how to integrate General Systems Theory (science) and Metaphysics (Spiritual Principles.) By such means, the MP can empower observers at every level of social complexity to analyze and intervene more effectively from their part of the whole: e.g.,

detect the presence of system pathologies at every level of system complexity in order to sort out their interactive effects, from the behavior of individuals up through system entities of increasing structural complexity
empower accurate interpretation of detected system pathology by means of an integrating Spiritually grounded model or Paradigm.
empower the capacity of any observing system (e.g. you, another person, coalition or group) to track the source of a problem from its presenting symptoms, down to the personal power agendas of individuals and their coalitions.
inspire and empower correcting elements to take action to:
    (1) intervene in the power and control agendas of pathological elements of a social system at any point in any level of complexity, and
    (2) suggest the type of interventions that can correct or inhibit the further spread of such pathology, and to reduce its effects of such pathology in the affected systems.

Is the MP a "religious" thing?

No!  Certain aspects of religion are actually an important contributor to the problems that create and energize this war we must face.  The MP will define the nature of these pathological influences of religion.  The MP has explicit definitions for the following terms that are often confused, or incorrectly used to mean the same thing.   Those terms that are different in meaning are defined in the glossary and especially include:  religion, Spiritual or Spirituality, religionist, consciousness and Consciousness, as well as related terms.

Clarification of the meaning of these terms and how they apply within the MP is by itself, an important contribution of the MP to address the above list of potential benefits to you.  Members of any religion can by means of these definitions, and related information in the MP, assess the Spiritual health and viability of any religion (and its practices) of interest to them.  Correct understanding and use of these terms is essential for winning this war.  Further preliminary information on this question is provided in the "Q & A" section of "About the Mystical Paradigm."

Can you summarize for me what some of the central concepts are that support the MP, and tell me what will be the main focus about which all the elements of OT/MP will revolve?

The power of the MP will be found in its systematic integration of science (e.g., General Systems Theory) with the Spiritual elements of Metaphysics, i.e., that part which deals with Spiritual (not religious) Principles and Law.   Since the process of science is limited to the intellect (which is owned and operated by the destructive dynamics of the ego) the unique and most potent dimension of the MP in achieving the above claims will be to show you how and why the intellect must first and constantly be infused with Spiritually grounded Wisdom.  The source of Wisdom does not, cannot, reside in the intellect, but in Spiritual Realms to which the intellect alone is denied access.  Wisdom does not, and cannot arise from any rational process no matter how great or dedicated the effort.  Wisdom can only influence rationality, once access is obtained through Spiritual processes.   The MP will introduce you to the how and why of those processes.

OT/MP respects a blunt Truth that is resident in what will be defined as THE LAW.  It is THE LAW which creates the only and ultimate REALITY.  Only a portion of that REALITY, labeled Reality in the MP, can be known by the intellect, but only through the regular practices of a Spiritual Discipline. The MP shares with you why, regardless of your most earnest and cherished desires, beliefs, and expectations, whether you know this or not, or even care:

Those who OPPOSE THE LAW will PERISH!

What is "THE LAW?"
OT/MP will use the definitions of these terms (to be developed) in order to accurately and fully describe the war in which we are all immersed.  OT/MP is designed to help you become aligned with and serve within this "LAW" the one that contains your highest good and protects you from the effects of evil.   The MP will make visible and define the nature of those who energize evil (the wolves,) and draw the relationship with those who are already caught up in this evil (victims and soldiers,) and those who must fight it (you and I.)  OT/MP will define the qualifications and requirements for you, me, and all of our soldiers to create a victory in this war because we are in charge of its outcome. We have the power to choose and direct our future.  We are the only instruments of success or failure.

You will discover why our soldiers, as a nation, are insufficient in quality and number to assure our victory at this moment in history.  By "soldiers," I do not refer to our military.  I refer to every citizen, each of whom has already been recruited at birth to serve as a soldier in this war. Even those who despise and reject the very idea of war are nevertheless involved as soldiers.  In fact, because they remain unaware of their involvement and duty as soldiers in this struggle, current conditions more likely point to our defeat.

Ignorance may be bliss while it lasts. But there is a huge balloon payment for that convenience to be called in at the end.  But the good news in all this is, fortunately, as Prime Minister Winston Churchill said to England at the grim outset of W.W.II  when there were dire predictions of  immanent German conquest,   "A prediction is not a destiny."

However, the source of victory is not "out there" because the war is not "out there."  There is no "they" out there who are heroes or villains.  The hero's and villains are within you, me, within each of us.  That inner place is where the battle is being joined and where it will be decided.  You must become empowered to go there in order to prevail.

Most of us don't have a correct or complete definition of intellectual consciousness,  let alone the sophisticated implications for the concepts associated with Spiritual Consciousness.  Only those who do understand these Principles can make use of them.  The source of both intellectual and Spiritual C/consciousness, and the means by which they can be managed lie entirely within you.  Neither do most understand how or why that C/consciousness, the one that directs your life, is often designed, built, managed, and operated by the enemy.

The ego constructs an intellectually limited illusion of a reality in which you and each of us appear to live and move and have our being.  We are condemned to remain trapped in this limited reality until we catch on and take steps to awaken our latent Spirituality.

It is Reality that must be recognized and respected as our only source of valid guidance, the only source of Wisdom, and therefore, our ultimate good.  But the reality in which you are most likely investing your life's energy (and evaluating the potential of MP for you right now) can cheat you or even harm you unless it is directed by your innate capacity to access and apply information from this larger Spiritual Realm of Consciousness.  That innate capacity must be nourished and quickened before it can serve you effectively. But paradoxically, your mind or intellect, which of itself is devoid of Wisdom, cannot take you there alone. This assertion, and what you will discover that follows from it, may be experienced as outrageous by certain elements of our society.

This larger Reality is the one that you are embedded in. It follows Spiritual (not religious) Principles that are derived from the ultimate REALITY in which It is embedded.  But these Spiritual Principles cannot be directly accessed by your intellect.  Your ego has created a boundary that separates you from direct access to the information and its Wisdom hidden in that larger Realty, the only one that can save us.  Not even the greatest intellect that is now amongst us, not even a collection of the greatest intellects, can penetrate this ego barrier by any rational process.

For that reason, coping with the Reality of life instead of the reality of life we usually experience is a "do it yourself project."  Coping with the conscious reality is dependent upon the successful practice of Spiritual Principles.  You must learn how to access and depend on your Spiritual self, not your ego self.   The MP will help you forge a connection to the Spiritual Truth within you through awareness (which must come first,) and then the practice of these Spiritual Principles.  That connection only exists within you as your Spiritual Consciousness, not your inferior, limited, and limiting mental or intellectual consciousness.  The path to knowing about this C/consciousness, the soldiers, our war, and yourself as you function in your role as a soldier, begins with two questions, "Do you know who you are?" and "Do you know where you are going?"

Do you know who you are?
If you don't Know who you are you may be somebody else!  Yes!  In fact, as will be developed in OT/MP, you are other than what your parents and peers have probably told you you are.   But for now, I define you as I define myself for worldly purposes, as a "Pilgrim," as a Soul on a sacred journey to rediscover the ever present Source, of our Spiritual Truth.  This is a journey that begins in the familiar landscape of today's problems, opportunities, and challenges.  It continues on a foundation of guidance from the most ancient mysteries in humanity's persistent efforts to recover our lost awareness of our innate Spiritual Truth.

This odyssey also includes the most contemporary findings of science that at last grudgingly admit to the Reality that there must be a Spiritual context for physical life.  But because this emergent awareness still remains lost to a significant majority of the public, especially our corporate and political leaders, we wander along a ego corrupted trail that must end in disaster. The wolves wait to rip off our heads.

Do you Know who these wolves are? how to recognize them? Any lack of that discernment makes you, me, and this nation vulnerable to a fate forged in a pit of Spiritual emptiness and even depravity. At this moment, our nation sits distracted by materialistic diversions and investments, corrupted religious influences, an other pathological factors that are guaranteed to be destructive for the quality of our lives, and even the future of humanity itself.  At best we are sidetracked by trying to cope with the symptoms because we are oblivious to the True underlying problems.

But the rational mind can only be ultimately satisfied by information acquired from our links to our True Spiritual (not religious) origins now being discovered and acknowledged by hard empirical science.  OT/MP links New Thought Metaphysics with contemporary science and applies them to tactical and strategic actions for us to prevail in this war.

By involving yourself with the information and guidance within OT/MP you can become aware of the Spiritual Laws, Principles, and the Truth of your essential Being in ways that empower you to apply them to your life.

OT/MP will apply these Spiritual Principles (not religious principles) to reveal the illusory world created by your ego's limited and deceitful intellect.  A fully developed awareness of the destructive nature of your ego is the first step to empower you to transcend your intellectual limits with its misleading illusions. Then you can begin to control your ego's demands, heal yourself, your relationships, and act more effectively to heal our society in special ways unique to you.

You can be further empowered to detect dangerous pathologies that are now growing in organizations and institutions across our nation. You will discover ways you can enlist with others to help divert our nation from its present destructive path.  These forces of empowerment rise from your journey of Spiritual (not religious) rediscovery and awakening. The you can exploit the practical benefits that follow.  I envision a coalition of individuals collectively invested in applying the Principles of the MP to their specialized area of concern.

You will become more empowered to assess the threats from Militant Islam and their war against western civilization.  You will become more empowered to understand the roots of right wing political and religious extremism and the terrorist mentality.

At this point you have two major choices in pursuing the MP.

1. The first option from which you can choose, is to immediately begin your odyssey through OT/MP.  This  takes you to Part 1 of the three part Introductory Dialogue.  This first part of the three part  introductory dialogues introduces the Mystical Protagonist and InQuiring Mind.  They establish their relationship from which they will debate the structure and processes of the MP in its applications to your life and to the needs of our society. The next two parts of the Introductory Dialogue provide a summary of supporting evidence why our society, and even humanity itself, are threatened with profound distress, if not literal extermination.

Part 2 of 3 focuses on why the earth is expendable because of the evidence that is provided to support that claim.  Part 3 of 3 focuses on a summary of the array of serious problems currently afflicting our society, e.g., why we no longer live in a democracy because it has already been replaced by a corporocracy (kor poor 'ok ruh see.)

This introductory material lays an intellectual platform for you to understand the reality that will be addressed and which must be overcome by the Reality (Truth) reflected by the MP through its application of Spiritual Principles.

If this is your immediate interest, then choose:

MEET THE MYSTICAL PROTAGONIST AND THE INQUIRING MIND

2.  The second option is to pursue additional descriptive material about OT/MP before continuing.  This option includes additional information and commentary about how the MP can serve you.  If this is your immediate interest, then choose from:
