I have mentioned "worldview" often. I conclude by saying that worldview reflection in consideration of the two existing worldviews, the dominant one and the Indigenous one, holds the solution to bring our world back into balance. With this in mind, I offer a contrasting worldview chart that can help us replace the beliefs that are killing us with those that can save us. The more individuals who move from the left side to the right side, the closer we get to a critical mass. When this happens, the worldview will take over our institutions and social systems. Whether we can accomplish in this life time or not, we must continue so we can be thought of as "good ancestors" by those who may survive or by future generations.
