Bridging the Paradigms is the online magazine for Alchemy West.
At Alchemy West we challenge mindset by tweaking paradigms. We believe it’s time for humans to join with all life in creating a healthy, balanced community that supports our conscious, evolving planet.
At Bridging the Paradigms we’re helping to create that community through storytelling. The stories, thoughts, and ideas we share are all true.
We believe:
- All life, regardless of form, has a soul.
- All life is equal, conscious, and responsible.
- All life has free choice.
We know:
- The human paradigm, the human worldview, which is all about humans, is incomplete, because it makes all life subservient to humans.
- The earth paradigm, the earth worldview, which is about all life, is the world as it really is. It recognizes the equality and responsibility of all life as we all work together for the benefit of our beloved, conscious planet.
We know these things because we’ve lived them. We’ve talked and worked with each other and with many of the beings who share our planet. We are the Alchemy West Committee. We don’t always agree, but we always try.
We’re out there so someday you can be, too.
We can all bridge paradigms, and expand from a human worldview to an earth worldview, by living thoughtful, engaged lives, from our personal development to our families, our homes, our businesses, and the community of all life. Humor, honesty, and creativity all count.
Think one thought:
- each of us holds the fate of the world in our choice. Each one of us, regardless of form.
Doesn’t that change everything?
