Among serious minded people the Middle English word paradigm is taking on important modern meanings. There is much talk about expectant paradigm shifts, about some new compelling Philosophy of selflife and the meaningfulness of human existence.
The first meaning that the Macquarie Dictionary gives to the word paradigm is from the point of view of grammar - the set of all forms containing a particular element, especially the set of all inflected forms of a single root, stem, or theme. Language analysts study the paradigm of case. Another listed meaning of paradigm is - a set of concepts shared by a community of scholars or scientists.
In English Grammar, case is defined as the relation in which a noun stands to some other word, or the change of form, if any, by which this change is indicated. There are three cases in modern English – the Nominative, the Objective and the Possessive.
A noun used as the subject to a verb is said to be in the Nominative case: Birds fly. When a noun is the object to a verb it is said to be in the Objective case: Children fly kites. The Possessivecase usually denotes the possessor or owner. It is formed by adding ’s to a noun: A child’s toy.
With personal pronouns, we have the singular case paradigm or set {I, me, mine}, and the plural case paradigm {We, us, ours}. The paradigm shift from singular to plural, from a singular individual unit to a set or unity of pluralized individual units, is what the members of the human race must adopt if they are to survive the lessons of History in Biological and Cultural Evolution - Privatize and Perish.
Feedback trial and error processes are foresighted means to certain determined ends. In all eras preceding the advent of human self-consciousness in this planet's evolutionary development, the eventual fate of any new parts, through success or failure, would have been judged by their feedback effect on the whole system, for better or worse, for richer or poorer. The degree of symbiotic incorporation into an ecologically favourable plural environment measures success, but rejection by such as unsuitable or detrimental determines failure.
In his book, MALICE IN PLUNDERLAND the author expresses concern that the vast majority of human beings are completely ignorant of the planned abuse by the banking system of the role of money in Consensus Economics. This is not an isolated occurrence in the course of human cultural evolution. There are still contrived fictions in which an aberrant patriarchal make believe has implicated human thought over the last few millennia. Not the least among these topics of male indoctrination is the role of sexuality in human social behaviour and in the propagation of the human species.
The emergence of an elegant, highly intelligent and dignified feminism in academic and political arenas and a sense of global pluralism associated with being the children of the same Great Earth Mother are not passing New Age intellectual fads. They are instituting paradigm shifts destined to be the salvation of mankind.
The yearning for increased conscious self-awareness and inner perceptual experience of the numinous, are laying the foundations of cultural movements to replace the outknown myths and outgrown cults of conservative male-dominated thinking in the realms of religion and morality, politics and economics. The motherless child of an all male same-sex deity is slowly being abandoned by its spirit of masculine despotism and uniformity. Stranded, alone, such child awaits its call to return to the womb from whence it first came.
Freedom from the slavery to interest burdened debt will eventually be achieved when women once more take control of the course of human affairs. A pregnant woman understands the full implication of the paradigm shift from the singular {I, Me, Mine } to the plural {We, Us, Ours}
As far as we know now, in this the 21st Century, the Placental Mammal is at the Pinnacle of the Tree of Lifeon this Planet. It would seem that the continuity of all selflife existence for evolved higher animals has been, and still is, solely the self-functioning and responsibility of the female placental mammal who, as scientists generally agree, is the goal of biological evolution on Mother Earth.
With prejudiced superficial assessments, patriarchal authorities considered the female as merely the receptacle of the male semen from which all new life had its assumed beginnings. Philosopher-Scientists like Aristotle and others with a questioning frame of mind put forward theories of sexuality. For Aristotle, homunculi existed in the male seed. Homunculi were fully formed miniature human beings ejaculated into the female womb in copulation. The same agenda applied to all creatures. Seed plants and their flowers gave visible evidence of something existentially quite different, of distinction and union. Both fauna and flora have their mysteries of life and death and their unveiling challenges human understanding.
Worlds pass, their myths outknown,
their creeds and cults outgrown.
Selflife evolves, forever new.
