SHIFTING OF GLOBAL PARADIGMS

In a world which is increasingly connected and inter-dependent the world is shifting away from the Occidental "Western" Paradigm of "war" and increasingly moving towards the Oriental "Eastern" Paradigm of "trade". 

The "Western" Paradigm is hereby loosely defined as being to "capture" by war and other forceful means resources including people, land, etc. and therefore profit from this community action.  In general today Western countries tend to be more "warring" than their Eastern counterparts.  This "warring" mentality includes how the rule of law & "interest" & profit as a tool of "usury" is being applied in the Western business model - unfortunately the global economic system is based on this model!  Usury means to use - it does not mean "mutually beneficial"!  many in business today are focused on "win-lose" and not on "win-win"'

The "Eastern" Paradigm is hereby loosely defined as being to trade to profit from community action.  This is exampled by China and in this Author's view during the 15th Centrury Ming Dynasty great effort was made by the Chinese to understand the world - and finding few people with similar understandings and society the Chinese closed their doors and this model of "trade" has laid relatively dormant awaiting it's time for a shift of global paradigms.

In mythological terms for Western countries - and the followers of their financial & economic system - "Zeus" may no longer be as dominant a global archetype.  What is being created in this global shift is a new order with the peaceful coexistance of more balanced archetypes.

Those individuals, business communities and countries who are able to make the shift away from a "war" mentality towards "trade" will be positioned to reap the rewards.
