ANNOUNCING OUTRAGEOUS TRUTH: A MYSTICAL
PARADIGM (OT/MP)
This work, the Mystical
Paradigm (MP), is the result of solitary
scholarship for more than three decades. I have been solely
responsible for all aspects of this project, research, writing, graphic
development, html and web page design, and its management. Alas,
no part of the MP has been subject to editing of any kind, let alone
professional editing. I regret the necessity of that lapse.
The MP presents a NEW PARADIGM,
a Spiritual Paradigm grounded in a C/consciousness model. This site
also includes a draft research proposal to conceptually validate the C/consciousness
model in operational terms. Now I want to involve others to contribute
their added insight and assistance for ongoing development of the Mystical
Paradigm (MP). I wish to involve those competent persons who understand
what they have found here, and who wish to help shape its course along
their own lines of expertise, insight, and experience. I am only
interested in collaboration with parties qualified by education and experience
in those areas included in the MP.
I WOULD LIKE TO TRANSFER OWNERSHIP OF MY ENTIRE SITE TO A QUALIFIED PERSON TO ENSURE ITS CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT. I
am not interested maintaining
exclusive ownership or even visibility for reasons you will understand
as you engage the value system reflected in the MP's Dialogues.
In fact, as I am now retired, that is why I would to offer the considerable
resources on this 118+ page site, a product of three decades of
development, to a new owner custodian to guide its development
into the future, no strings attached.
WHO AM I: I am a generalist applying
General Systems Theory and Gnostic Christian metaphysics to create a Consciousness
based paradigm of human Spirituality. I also intend to apply the
Principles of the MP in a variety of content domains. This goal can
only become successful by integrating the many specialty areas you will
find reflected in the contents of OT/MP's
bibliography.
Certain elements of OT/MP are ripe for research, e.g., C/consciousness,
prayer, and applications of human intentionality to the material world
through meditation, prayer, contemporary economic ethics, or a
transcendental focus for traditional content areas. If you are an
accredited
Ph.D., a formal research approach to develop and validate these areas [see
"Research" below] is included. Through collaboration you can place yourself
and your students at the vanguard (the so called "point of the spear")
of a new era in humanity's Spiritual
growth. The MP shows how a Spiritual
Paradigm can facilitate group Wisdom
during collaboration. [See:
CV (Resume)]
The MP is designed, among other purposes, to help
correct
political and social pathologies including corporate abuse, political
corruption,
right wing extremism, Islamic terrorism, and religious extremism and
abuse.
It suggests a Spiritual (not religious) ethical model for evaluating
human behavior. By such means, the MP is designed to heal these
pathological systems at their roots, beginning
with the individual, and moving out into systems of increasing
complexity.
The MP is offered as an ancillary resource
to multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary faculty, and to specialist faculty
working in the areas represented in the MP's bibliography. The MP
defines a unique approach to social healing grounded in the science of
General Systems Theory (GST) and integrated with a Holistic metaphysical
approach. This synergistic approach is designed to weave diverse
content areas together in the interest of empowering significant social
and political change.
As you examine the bibliography for OT/MP, you will find
that the authors I have cited have each prepared their works for specialized
target audiences on a wide range of topics. In addition to many direct
links on the Internet, following are samples of some of the literature
from the specialized content areas represented in OT/MP as reflected in the bibliography:
"New
Thought" Metaphysics: (Blavatsky, Fillmore, Goldsmith, Hall, Teilhard
de Chardin, Holmes) books that focus on the evolution of, and contemporary
assessments of Spiritual laws that affect how we live, create the quality
of our lives, and direct our future. Systems
Sciences: (Bertalanffy, Buckley, Kraft, Alfred Kuhn, James Miller,
Van Gigch) for those with professional interest in the "integrative sciences,"
i.e., the science of General Systems Theory and Living Systems Theory with
applications across all levels of mechanical, biological, and human system
complexity Integration
of Science and Metaphysics: (White, Jahn, Nelson, Wilber) books
that integrate metaphysics and science with human Spirituality Consciousness:
(Hameroff, Penrose, Shaw) books that present detailed elements of the emergent
science of consciousness Behavior
sciences and Communication: (Catell, Lakoff, Maslow, Schroder et
al, Tolle, Zukav and Francis) including a wide variety of references
that apply to the three overlays on C/consciousness called " three traps
of mind." Political
Criticism: (Moore, Begala, Franken, Greider, Nader) books that are
criticisms, sometimes scathing, as to the pathological role of our corporate
owned government and the nature of corporate interference in contemporary
politics that urgently require massive Spiritual healing Conspiracy
Theories: (Chayefsky, web
sources) books, films, and Internet resources (some radical) that focus
on alleged corporate and other conspiracies in contemporary politics and
government Social
Criticism of Business, Economics, and Education:
(Barlett and Steele, Demaris, Shumaker, and Ravitch) books that
criticize the abuses by corporate or institutional staff in America, right
wing vested interest meddling in public education, and the complicit role
of our government that they now control Self
Help "New Age": (Zukov, Ponder, Chopra,) books that focus on contemporary
individual emotional and Spiritual growth Advanced
"New Age" concepts: (Cranston, Stevenson, Schroder, Evans-Wentz,
Rinpoche) books on Spiritual ethics, Karma, and Reincarnation Scientific
Support for Meditation, Prayer, and Spiritual Healing: (Dossey,
Koenig, Larson, Templeton) books that are a current assessment of the scientific
support for the role of meditation, prayer and Spiritual factors in health
and well being that serve to validate the Spiritual premise behind OT/MP Technical
books on Mediation and Peace Making: (Fisher, Sandole) this site's
prototype web based course on mediation (an early application of OT/MP
principles) represents an initial working example of applied Spirituality
that you can begin to use now, even in its prototype form Economic
Theory and Criticism: (Galbraith, Greider, Shumacher, Wolman
& Colamosca,) books that are critical of predatory capitalist and socialist
economies because of the scale of unrecognized and therefore uncontrolled
corporate abuse
of you, the public.
TARGET FACULTY SPECIALTIES: If you are a professional Metaphysician
in human Spirituality, or a scientist or otherwise applying a Consciousness
model, or using General (Living) Systems Theory, or Integrative Sciences,
or if you have scholarly involvement with Philosophy (especially Zen or Eastern Philosophy,) Theosophy, Gnostic Mysticism,
or New Thought Spirituality applications, or if you are a professional
content specialist in a university, college, or public school faculty,
and find elements of OT/MP useful to empower your specialty area, do consider
approaching me to collaborate on future development of OT/MP. Keep
in mind that I am not pretending to be a specialist in any of the traditional
content areas I have woven together to create the MP. Therefore,
I am not competing with, but am dependent on expertise from those traditional
professional
or specialty areas that have created
the MP. To summarize, I offer this resource to you and your students
if you are:
professional
faculty or a scientist in traditional university, college, or public school,
or corporate content areas, or
otherwise
apply a Consciousness model, or
use
General Systems Theory (GST) or the Integrative Sciences, or
related applications of philosophy, or if
you are a scholar in Philosophy, Theosophy, Gnostic Mysticism, Eastern Mysticism, or New Thought Spirituality
applications, situational ethics, or
if
you are an application specialist in mediation or any of the traditional
content area as represented in the bibliography
APPLICATIONS: Certain elements of OT/MP are ripe
for research in applications of the MP, e.g., C/consciousness, prayer,
healing, family life, political reform, a new economic model, a new educational paradigm, mediation,
criminal rehabilitation, and applications to the material world through
meditation, prayer, or transcendental focus. When any system of human
enterprise becomes so problematic and corrupt that it can not be repaired,
then there is likely to occur, death and oblivion of that system, e.g.,
the United States, western style capitalism. Then one must choose
as the only alternative future, death and transfiguration. Therefore,
there is an Applications
section to suggest
the radical new life styles that can be created from this Paradigm.
In addition, there is a fully developed application to Mediation
and Conflict Resolution
that will be highly useful to those involved
in group dynamics, counseling, and mediation as can be applied to any
walk of life. But the strength I
offer in having integrated these diverse areas of human inquiry is also
my greatest weakness. My offerings from any specialty will not
likely
be fully current, robust, or sufficient to satisfy specialists in these
areas.
You can heal those gaps where your specialty is involved.
However, specialty rigor is less relevant that the overarcing
integrated metaphysical and scientific Principles that provide the
power to change lives.
RESEARCH: If you are an accredited Ph.D.,
this site contains a well developed prototype (draft) formal research approach
to the topic of C/consciousness, Spiritual healing, and prayer (in the
form of a draft proposal.) It exists to be further developed in support
of a theory of C/consciousness and the Spiritual Principles that support
the MP. Visit the "RESEARCH" component
of my site. I believe that by means of a collaborative relationship,
you can place yourself and your students at the vanguard (the so called
"point of the spear") of a new era in humanity's Spiritual
growth. The MP shows how a Spiritual
Paradigm can facilitate group Wisdom
during collaboration.

About
the author:, my special
credentials to prepare this resources lie in having taken a research degree
related to communication, systems theory, and educational and organizational
development, and invested it in applications in the world. Without
the richness of these real world experiences, I would not have had access
to the wisdom granted through Spiritual exercises to comment on the world
you will find described in the MP. Following is a personal statement
about how I came to create OT/MP as well as a more traditional CV:
