Amazing solutions to the problems that people are experiencing today have been suggested and put on the table by some equally amazing minds.
However, the reason that none of the solutions that would make life better for people are working, they work only temporarily or on a very limited scale, is because the solutions being given are about people when the world, system or paradigm that we live, and experience today doesn’t work that way.
Everything in life today either revolves around or is focused upon the value of money. So, money is and only ever will be the solution to any problem, even when as far as the people in that equation are concerned, the money-based solution will never work.
To solve all the problems that society and the World has, we have no choice but to refocus and reprioritise all the things that are important in life.
These are the values, relationships, community, our environment and everything that exists locally to us, rather than being orientated around material wealth and the things that we could have.
Let’s quickly recap on where we are, and where we need to be:
The Money-Centric Paradigm =
Money, Profit, Material Wealth or Possessions and the Influence and Power that we believe it brings.
The People-Centric Paradigm =
Values, Humanity, Value of the Person, Rejection of Difference, Happiness just to be.
Ideally, enough people needed to create a critical mass will adopt the change voluntarily that will enable The Paradigm Switch.
However, because of the hold that the Money-Centric-Paradigm has on almost everyone, the chances are that it is only seismic change in the form of an event that changes everything, that would in itself precipitate The Paradigm Shift that is necessary to make this level of change possible, where The System will then work for us all.
The Pivot Point Rule
All well and good you might think. Or you might question ‘What does this have to do with changing the way the world works when we know it’s the politicians that we have, or how expensive everything is, or because of someone else’s prejudices?’, and so on.
The point is that one of the biggest problems that we have within the Money Centric Paradigm today and the way that we experience the world around us, is because somebody somewhere has already or is in the process of trying to create a law or regulation of some kind that basically removes the freedom for people in life and within the jobs they do, to think for themselves.
What the well-meaning fearful control freaks that create add law to laws for laws-sake don’t appreciate or value, is nobody alive today could possibly possess the understanding of every circumstance or situation that everyone else could experience. Because they would have had to share exactly the same experiences, feelings and emotions as that person, throughout their entire life (and every second of it) to be able to understand the though processes and reactions that make them think and then react in a certain way.
And if anyone did have this level of understanding, you can be sure that they would be comfortable enough in themselves not to feel the need to let anyone else know they were that enlightened, let alone feel the need to legislate and therefore take control of the decision-making processes for others, in any way at all.
The most important, yet challenging factor or requirement in the creation, implementation and maintenance of a New or People-Centric Paradigm, is trusting people to be able to make as many decisions about life as they can for themselves, with only a genuine, minimum-touch, but nonetheless powerful pivot rule or anchor for morality and ethics as a guide.
It would be a pivot or anchor rule, as by using it as the unbroachable guide to life and everything that people, businesses and organisations do, the decisions, rules and where necessary laws that then follow, would in turn fall in to place to ensure that People-Centric thinking and therefore living, would become the priority for and within all that everyone does.
The Domino Effect of the Pivot Point Rule
The simple way to visualise how The Pivot Point Rule will work is to think of it as being like a domino representing every conceivable law, rule or regulation being already stood up in a giant interlinking pattern with every other public-policy-representing domino.
The first domino will be the one that sets off the tumbling effect that brings contact between all and is therefore the most important.
