We can only break ourselves against the law. It is impossible for us to break the law.They are natural laws that cannot be broken. The power of a paradigm shift is the essential power of quantum change, whether that shift is an instantaneous or a slow and deliberate process. Paradigms are powerful because they create the lens through which we see the world.Many people experience a fundamental shift in thinking when they face a life-threatening crisis and suddenly see their priorities in a different light, or when they suddenly step into a new role, such as that of husband or wife, parent or grandparent, manager or leader.The more aware we are of our basic paradigms, maps, or assumptions, and the extent to which we have been influenced by our experience, the more we can take responsibility for those paradigms, examine them, test them against reality, listen to others and be open to their perceptions, thereby getting a larger picture and a far more objective view.When we open our mouths to describe what we see, we in effect describe ourselves, our perceptions, our paradigms. We see the world, not as it is, but as we are – or, as we are conditioned to see it. Each of us tends to think we see things as they are, that we are objective.The way we see things is the source of the way we think and the way we act. And out attitudes and behaviours grow out of those assumptions. We simply assume that the way we see things is the way they really are or the way they should be. We seldom question their accuracy we’re usually even unaware that we have them. We interpret everything we experience through these mental maps.
