   Herein lie all of the secrets of the human universe. They aren't really secret, though. They can be found by anyone who is willing to take all of the world's philosophies, psychologies, physics and metaphysics, religions, and belief systems, and melt these down into their most basic components. Put the purifying fire of discernment under them, turn up the boiler of insight and intuition, and what you have left after all the waste is burned away -- these are the core concepts, the hidden secrets, the sweet mysteries that define our lives.

   We humans are each a small part of a vast sea of awareness. Each part is not a separate thing by itself, however. We each are like a raindrop that appears to others to be an individual form, but each drop is still, in essence, water. And each drop is connected to every other drop by two things: what it is, and what it does. And it is time for all of us to play on the beach!

   The entire list of terms required to complete my intention of presenting a simple and complete and unified theory of human nature is all here in this paradigm. The word descriptions here are commonly called "operational definitions" by people much more intellectually oriented than myself.

   I am just brazen enough to structure the language to meet my own intentions here (actually, we all do this. I'm just careless enough to admit to it.) Although all of the words used here should be familiar to you, MY definitions of those words are NOT the ones you'll find in any dictionary. I made them up. It was easier to do this than to create a totally foreign language to get these concepts across to someone.

   I must warn you that the Personal Transformation Paradigm, in its rawest form, is not an "easy read" (over twenty typed pages). It is the core essence of so much more information, filtered and filtered and filtered again, just like the most powerful seed that creates the mighty tree. So, don't get too frustrated if much of it seems like gobbledy-gook at first. Take it slowly, and write to me, asking lots of questions. Maybe, if you ask nicely, I will someday create an accompanying "workbook" that is much easier to understand. It would have pictures, examples, exercises, and such. But the publication of this Paradigm, here and now, on the Internet was one of those Dharmic responsibilities that has haunted me for years. I had to do it. And now it is "out there" where my universe wants it -- in your hands, heads, and, hopefully someday, your hearts.

   What I would prefer that you do right now, even before you "surf over" to the Paradigm itself, is this: Forget everything you ever knew. Start from scratch. Enter a world where nothing is the same as it was. It's 'blank slate' time. That's the best way to explore who and what we really are. Start with Nothing!

   Be ready to give up the familiar in order to explore the new, the simple, the powerful. See how long it takes you to figure out just what kind of mischief I'm up to here........
