We arebeginning to see the

entire universe as a holographically

interlinked networkof energy and

information.

Ervin Laszlo

“The Akasha Paradigm represents the new paradigm of reality coming to light in science’s view of the world. It marks the transition as science shifts from the traditional Newtonian bounds of science through the Einsteinian to the Quantum.

ItV triggers and supports processes of change and transformation in a variety of fields, including ecology, health, education, economics, business, as well as politics and civil society. It offers scientifically based guidance for navigating the transition to the next stage in the evolution of science, civilization and consciousness.

Our world is not just things moving about in space and time. The world we experience with our five senses is only the surface level. Below this level there is an interconnected, holographically “in-formed” and fundamentally whole world where all things interpenetrate with all other things.

We live in a world where all things create themselves, and through their “cosmic connections” create all other things. This is a self-actualizing, whole-system universe. The realization that we live in a fundamentally whole world prompts us to think and act more compassionately.

We are not outside or above the world; the world is in us, just as we are in the world. What we do affects the world, and the world affects us. We are shifting from a fragmented, incoherent worldview to one based on the realization that we live in an integral, interconnected universe.

Understanding the Akasha Paradigm changes the way we relate to each other and to the world. It allows us to aspire to wholeness and coherence in us and around us, and attain more sustainable ways of thinking and acting in order to create a more flourishing world.
