Drawing on insights from multiple sources, Richard T. Burr challenges us to examine our fundamental assumptions about existence and to explore new ways of seeing, inspiring us to lead more meaningful lives. The Third Paradigm delves into the illusion of you against the universe, a misunderstanding that causes us to destroy our world and each other, and believing this to be sane. According to Burr, this illusion is the direct result of our forcing each other to see the world through the tinted lenses of our first two paradigms, religion and science, and is the catalyst for most of our anxieties. To find the answer to this problem, the author suggests that we need to embrace a whole different understanding of reality, one rooted in ancient spiritual ways of realizing man's relationship to the cosmos, but tempered by a modern perspective. "Whether we want to or not, we are entering a shift in the way we think about our existence."
