The noetic society has recently published "The 2007 Shift Report", titled "Evidence of a world transforming". A little, concise piece of work that I would really like to suggest everybody to have a look at.
"We are living through one of the most fundamental shifts in history — a change in the actual belief structure of Western society. No economic, political, or military power can compare with the power of a change of mind. By deliberately changing their images of reality, people are changing the world."
— Willis Harman, Global Mind Change
is the beginning text of the report. It attempts to describe, from a more holistic perspective, and this applied to medicin, healing, business, education, etc, a worldview that they equally label as "noetic". Based on the definition that the Leo Apostel Institute of the Free University of Brussels gave of a worldview, you might find interesting hints or answers on the following questions:
1. Who are we?
2. Why is this world the way it is? Where does it come from?
3. Where are we going?
4. What is good and what is evil?
5. How should we act?
6. What is true and what is false? How do we know what we know?
7. What preexisting theories and models have been used to answer the questions of the other six categories?
And don't forget, even if we do not want to see the world as it is, it still remains there. But you can choose how to see it. The Shift report is one that gives hope and motivation. Those that feel responsible in and for this world, are the one's that are going to help tilting it.
