The New Paradigm Journal will attempt to spark off an inner transformation in each delegate. The quest will take us on a physical, mental and spiritual journey as we explore new concepts and visions of reality. Our aim is to understand the common ground of humanity (the source from which we spring) the interconnectedness of all life on our living planet and the power of male and female creativity so that we may open the global heart of humankind.

The New Paradigm Journal asks that each individual take personal responsibility in caring for the Planet Earth and encourages people to nurture within themselves the values of trust and beauty that a greater future may arise. We challenge the concept of a material universe and look at a paradigm which breaks the current boundaries of reality because it looks to the mind as being the basic cause of who we are and perceives that our mind is part of a greater mind of consciousness which permeates the whole universe.

We will be looking at the nature of the self and its inextricable relationship with society and the environment. It will aim to bridge the gap between reason and belief by examining how spirituality as an integral process can give depth, resonance and meaning to life. In particular, we will look at ways in which new insights into the nature of the human being and human life can be made relevant to healing a society in rapid change.

It is hoped that The New Paradigm Journal will contribute to the creation of a new kind of human being, aware of their significance and worth and able to contribute constructively and creatively to the well-being of the whole planet. Business, being the dominant institution in modern society, will play a critical role in any change.

"People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and they pass themselves by without wondering" - St Augustine.
