Topic 1: What does "Changing How we think" really mean? (weeks 1 - 3)

In the Global MindShift pormo: What is a Global Mindshift?

it is stated a global mindshift is "...not a change in thinking, but a change in How we think!"

How is "a change in thinking" any different than " a change in How we think"? And what does "a change in How we think" really mean?

The promo states what it means is we must broaden our perspective from thinking locally to thinking globally. That is not what I would consider any real change in how we think. I believe most of the world today already thinks in global terms. But then I discovered this lecture video by Kern Beare: A Model of Change: Purpose and Meaning.

What Kern discusses is the kind of change I believe is necessary, but it is not the simple change of "Thinking Globally" we get from the GMS promo; it goes much deeper than that. What I take away from Kern’s lecture is not a simple change in just thinking, but a change in our global consciousness itself.

I agree with Kern that to solve our problems we must first change our culture, but to change our culture we must first change what we believe our purpose and meaning is. But to change what we believe the purpose and meaning is, we must descend all the way down the pyramid to reevaluate or rediscover what we believe Reality really is.

It is our fundamental perceptions of Reality that determines not only what we think and how we think, but changes the very core of our consciousness.

Kern’s lecture is way to short. He takes us down to the basement of Reality, than just leaves us there. I want MORE!! I want to know what Kern Beare really means by changing what we perceive Reality is. But more importantly, I would like to know what you believe changing our perceptions of Reality means, and how do we do it.

Topic 2: Where do we go now? (weeks 4 - 6)

After coming to a consensus how to we implement what we have learned?
