Welcome to a developing training program for implementing the MP within the context of the Peacebuilders and other progressive movements.  This page will present the instructional goals and objectives designed to prepare you to implement the principles of the MP in support of your Spiritual, communication, and power and control needs.  A series of interactive training modules will be offered (via affordable Skype telephone and video conferencing) that uses tutorial modalities directed by the author of the Mystical Paradigm (MP) as well as traditional instructional resources.  From these you will learn the nature of the MP as can be made relevant to support your personal needs and goals.  The MP is uniquely grounded in scientific and metaphysical concepts in a paradigm of Spiritual Consciousness, and how to apply them to make you more effective in:
Over the next weeks and months you will find on this status page, a developing curriculum and implementation plan that can involve you and your interested associates in developing those skills that are not provided for in traditional and orthodox approaches to the above context areas.  The applicable process areas include:  instruction, management, needs assessment, values clarification, conflict management, mediation, and other programs and formats that serve the above content areas. Unlike traditional approaches, the unique Principles of the MP incorporate and integrate the metaphysical and scientific concepts of C/consciousness and  Spirituality which are applied to the above context areas.

GOALS,  OBJECTIVES, AND LESSON PLANS

Module 1: INTRODUCTION:

Hereinafter, those who choose to participate in this training project will be referred to as
Pilgrims
, since in effect, that is the role they actually serve in pursing their Spiritually grounded goals and applications.   The topics which will be addressed across the Mystical Paradigm (MP) will be broken down into Modules within the topical areas described by the titles of the seven major Dialogues and focus areas of the MP.   Within each module, there will be a series of Study Points.   The Tutor (the author) will engage the Pilgrims in a ratio of one on one to one on four, by means of televideo conferencing, and will interact with each Pilgrim as each Study Point  is addressed in sequence.  

As each Study Point is being developed, each participating Pilgrim will contribute their own knowledge and experience to nourish the details of the discussion by providing information and questions framed in the context of their life and priorities.  The Tutor will integrate this diverse information into the developing theory of the MP.  At a later point in the course, the Tutor will begin to assist the Pilgrims to translate the developing body of theory and knowledge into applications relevant to their needs.  For the operational means by which this course will proceed, refer to the "Logistical Details" near the end of this page.  Likewise, the fee structure for participation will be found in the "Fee Structure" section at the end of this page.  An evaluation page contains the results of a beta test of the MP  on line video Tutorial can be found there as well.



TARGET AUDIENCE (For all Modules)

This tutorial is being designed for a user audience that presents a number of the following general characteristics:
Participants will have to assemble "n" blocks of four hours per block at an agreed upon time each week to complete the course in approximately one month.  See logistical and cost information at the end of the page.



GOALS:  (For all Modules)  To

(1) enjoy each other and to have fun in the process of learning to apply and benefit from the MP.  
(2) clarify at the outset, and to begin to develop in each Pilgrim (you), a raised Consciousness as to how and why Spiritual factors (or their absence) can both directly and indirectly affect your needs and values, and which can act to inform and shape the decisions you make  to advance and protect the fulfillment of your needs.  
(3) to develop Spiritually grounded CR skills in each participant by meeting the objectives set for each study point below.

OBJECTIVES for the Introduction:   You, the Pilgrim, will be able to:

Describe the capitalization and color conventions used throughout the MP as used to help clarify the Metaphysical significance of certain terms.

Study Point I-1.  translate selected information from the "Outrage" page into your own meanings, and accurately identify and describe your own priority of values and needs that you in initially bring to this project, e.g., you may pointedly disagree with some of them right now--and if so, you should feel free to disagree.  [NOTE: but please suspend judgment if any of the challenges you find there seem especially outrageous as you have only just begun your study of the MP.]

Study Point I-2.  Recognize and correctly label the following elements of the MP as presented by the graphic showing nested Venn diagrams on the Part 1 of 3 (Home) page of the Introduction to the MP, and correctly use and explain the color and capital letter conventions used throughout OT-MP:
NOTE: The seven dialogues that present the Mystical Paradigm proceed as a dialogue between a Mystical Protagonist and an InQuiring Mind.

Study Point I-3.  use the table of examples on Page 1 of 3 of the Introductory Dialogue to demonstrate, by using your own examples, that they understand the difference in the relationship between symptoms and problems in a complex social ecology

Study Point I-4. use the abstract concepts of "NOT KNOWING I DON'T KNOW" and correctly place its relevance into your stated goals and objectives for your life.

Study Point I-5 correctly describe the elements of the cone figure showing the unfoldment of consciousness compared to the advance of intellect. Express with clarity, the relationship of your values, needs and goals among them and the other information on the graphic.

Study Point I-6. use the intellectual concepts of "NOT KNOWING I DON'T KNOW" and correctly place its relevance into your stated goals and objectives for your life.

Study Point I-7. use the Spiritual concepts of "NOT KNOWING I DON'T KNOW" and correctly place their relevance into your stated goals and objectives for your life.

Study Point I-8.  correctly explain why the MP emphasizes the presence and nature of Spiritual Consciousness over intellectual consciousness throughout the MP.

Study Point I-9. correctly explain how the conceptual path of the MP will develop over the following seven major modules.

Study Point I-10.  explain how the definition of "The Curse of Holistic & Systems Thinking" is relevant to you in your pursuit of your understanding and use of the MP.

Study Point 1-12:  read the remaining allegories and parables,

Study Point 1-13:
 explain the significance for the future of humanity by interpreting the several figures of comparative cones of Consciousness levels to be achieved by humanity.  Explain them in the context of all prior information provided in Dialogue 1
