The Power of Suggestion: A paradigm shift

I wonder more than anything else regarding health: What exactly is a paradigm shift? I think I know now. Not being constrained by the way we've learned to think is a paradigm shift. Nothing we say or do can transcend a paradigm, how we think is what matters.
What will be the new paradigm. THE POWER OF SUGGESTION. MAN AS GOD. WHAT?

ARE YOU READY? Is it time for us as human being to realize that everything we see, everything we do, everything we are, we've created. All the happiness, all the sadness, all the beauty, all the disaster we create each and everyday in or mind. Too crazy or radical, don't read any further....
The CD spins and the music comes out the speakers... the music enters my ears then my brain...then what... then I create the beautiful sound that fills my soul. The CD didn't create it, the speakers don't create it, my ears don't create it, these things just work with energy, even the guitar player isn't the true creator, all he does is pluck strings and have them vibrate in different frequencies. Energy, everything is energy in transition, everything is manipulations of energy, from what we feel, to what we hear, to what we see. The only true creative force is our mind. We are the Creator...
The POWER OF OBSERVATION...
Newtonian mechanics only goes so far, quantum mechanics, previously metaphysics, shows us that just through observation we change the form of energy... through observation... through observing our minds create the reality we live in.
what does this mean.. our minds can change the reality...we can CREATE the world we want. we can create a world free from hunger and malnutrition...
How..a paradigm shift... no longer relying on medicine and money and markets and organizations and government... by knowing and showing the world that each person is a creator and that we can bring to ourselves and world whatever we want...
That's a Paradigm Shift

In class Professor Shahi seems to relate so much of our discussion to a paradigm shift in thinking, and I really have to say that your synopsis in this subject is eloquently demonstrated. It is really about making a change in one's basic assumption and tired ability to think for themself. I'm glad that we have been practicing this so much in this course.

Payam,

what an interesting blog. And in many ways I can completely relate to what you are saying. As a person who did their undergrad work in Music at UCSD (which is reknowned to be at the forefront of very experimental music), I've studied/ enjoyed music that most people would think is cacophony and probably question whether or not it can be labelled "music" at all. The truth is, you're right. Everything is what we make of it. And to put a little Christian spin on your words, the bible said (Payam dont have a heart attack...) that God created man in his image. So in essense you are right we are the Creator. And you thought you were so blasphemous. haha. And yes as creators we do have the power to create our own Heaven-- a world free from hunger and where disease doesn't run rampant. It is true, it is up to US to be proactive, to believe that we can do it, and go out and do it. Thanks for your post Payam. I really enjoyed it.

Sounds very poetic! It’s true that the way we deal with our world and reactions toward different challenges that make our live beautiful, sad, sweet, calm and etc…
The paradigm shift stems from the way we act, think and develop our thoughts. We have to initiate and we should stick to our commitment to make the change in paradigm happens.

Very eloquent. I enjoyed your perspective of the paradigm shift. I hope that all our individual paradigm shifts have been as profound as yours.
