Are you part of the problem or part of the solution?


Persistent problems cannot be solved at the level where they originated, but only at a higher level of consciousness where we come to understand how it really works. Such lasting problems therefore continue to trouble us until we have consciously said goodbye to the old paradigm, in order to be able to welcome the higher paradigm.

A paradigm is not only a coherent system of models and theories within which reality is described, it also determines how this reality is thereby experienced. The old paradigm, therefore, is the root cause of the perceptions, ways of thinking, and practices that result in the persistent problems that we might be able to temporarily mitigate, but never to fundamentally resolve at that level. In short, instead of focusing on these persistent problems, we should turn our attention to ourselves and, in particular, to the paradigm from which we approach reality. In other words, those who stick to the old paradigm are part of the problem, and will never be able to contribute to the realization of a truly liberating solution.

The old paradigm is based on the principle of divide and conquer. The ongoing specialization that has resulted from this has brought us to where we are today, including the persistent problems in areas such as health, environment, finance, and public governance. For example, nowadays more than half of all people have a chronic disease (and a third even more than one), not least because of (nano) environmental pollution. And furthermore, all countries have long since gone bankrupt because their accumulated debts can never be paid off. These are just a few examples of our persistent problems. Anyone who has eyes to see can only conclude that the old paradigm has now become counterproductive. In other words, for some time now, the old paradigm has been resulting in the reverse of what it was originally intended for:

Our society is currently being torn apart. Some want to stick to the old controll paradigm at all costs (without being at all aware of this paradigm). This part is docile and does not dare to think for itself, because of fear of getting into social isolation. Another part dares to do question everything, and is therefore not led by fear. However, the vast majority of this second part are also not yet aware that they need a higher paradigm to really break free from the old. Any change without stepping up to a higher paradigm inevitably results in similar problems. This is also known as the “Law of Conservation of Misery”.

The Chinese character for “crisis” means both threat and opportunity. Anyone who thinks that the current crisis will resolve itself does not yet understand why we got into such trouble. The current crisis will inevitably continue to worsen as long as we stubbornly try to cling to the old paradigm. Let us therefore use this opportunity to upgrade ourselves to a higher paradigm.

If you want to be part of the solution, immerse yourself in the higher paradigm. This higher paradigm is already available in broad outline. However, there is still a great deal of work to be done to translate it in detail into all facets of our society.

The ‘divide & conquer’ of the old paradigm has been replaced in the higher paradigm by the principle of ‘connect & liberate’. This higher paradigm aims to make us aware of the Wholeness of everything. This higher paradigm is named ‘Wholly Science’. We can describe it as the Overall Science of Wholeness.

In order to be part of the solution, start by completing the Education Program in Wholly Science. After that, we will start putting this Wholeness paradigm into practice in both local and international working groups.

In conclusion, if you think it would not be necessary for you to re-educate yourself by following this program, then you are and will unfortunately remain part of the problem! We can only understand the overall reality after we first know ourselves better. Therefore, everything begins with self-knowledge, as was known in ancient times. Do yourself a great favor and first of all get to know yourself better and better thanks to the all-encompassing Wholeness paradigm of Wholly Science!
