So, on the strength of the book's synopsis, I ordered "The Paradigm Conspiracy" from Amazon. I figured it would be a good book, worthy of keeping, possibly with some useful information

The door is open, but how do you convince people to step through it? One thing I've seen cause people to switch paradigms is pain. In the 50s life really sucked and stuff was really oppressive, so people jumped at the first opportunity for something different because they simply couldn't take it anymore. A slightly different thing happened with . Her life really sucked, but she wasn't able to change anything until she realized that the paradigm she was living in was hurting her children. Then love and guilt made her change paradigms. With Shinji Ikari it seems to be guilt with a side of pain ("Why did you kill him? Why did you kill him?").
I think being an example is probably the most important and effective way. There is a huge difference between someone casually noticing a light in the haze and someone having a light shined(argued) in their eyes.
Seeing as how our society provides so much gunk to get sunk into, I think simply being the greener grass will help immensely.
It was pain that sort of tossed me from the river-flow of mainstream and left me on the bank asking "Well, what IS it about anyway?" Being on the outside, I was given the awareness of what the flow was about and the ability to see where it was going. I was also left stranded in the mud. Now, I learn how to use my legs so I can explore the beautiful forest the river cuts through. I hope a similar smack upside the head isn't what is necessary for everyone.

I've had some success with being an example, combined with unconditional love.
We're working on other, more specific ways. None will be 100% effective, I'd say.

So you can see why we would want tools to help the process. That's what we're working on distilling and sharing.
So... what sort of gunk are you stuck in, Steve? ((hug))
