A paradigm is: A 'theory' or 'group of ideas'
Of 'how things should be done'
Or 'made'
Or 'thought about'
(I'm going to add 'felt about.')
Or 'how we see things'.
These are our patterns based on theories on ideas on how to do things. Even our perception. How we see things. Patterns that are the basis of our own unique realities.
So principles AND paradigms work together to govern our behavior and reasoning.
Anyway, these theories and ideas give us images. These images are from our backgrounds, our experiences. They represent the implied assumptions in our lives. We think we see the world AS IT IS, but we actually see the world AS WE ARE.
We project from our own conditioning, experiences, and background:
A model of ourselves
A set of our expectations
An assumption or a belief ( whether or not the assumption or belief is true or false)
Of what we think is real out there. This is what the paradigm does. So if the paradigm is negative, then we have a negative model of ourselves, negative expectations, and a negative assumption of reality. I think that depression can be called a negative paradigm. Because depression is the inability to meet your needs based on a negative assumption of reality. Depression is a deprivation. It's often a self-deprivation due to having negative paradigms. Depression also stems from dependence and dependence stems from depression. Dependence and depression go hand in hand. Dependence + Deprivation = Depression.
Principles are important because they shape our paradigms. Paradigms can also shape our principles.
We can change our paradigms by changing what we choose to project. If we changed how we see ourselves (our role in life), what we expect (from ourselves), what we believe in, we will change the way we see reality. By changing how we see reality often changes reality. Because it changes how we project ourselves into it.
