Louise Diamond and A Systems Approach to Peacebuilding
The new paradigm or worldview — called holism or deep ecology or systems thinking — posits an altogether different set of assumptions and inferences. If reality is all about energy, interconnectedness and consciousness — rather than matter, separation and mechanistic reactions — then we need to frame our lives totally differently: we need to pay attention to how the the energy moves throughout those webs of relationship; what patterns are prevalent and how new ones can be created; and the role our consciousness can play in shaping our realities.
