Riane Eisler
"One of the great challenges we face is how to awaken contemporary consciousness to the possibility - and urgent necessity - of relations based primarily on partnership rather than domination, in both the private and public sphere. In this regard, we must dispel some prevailing myths about what is popularly called 'human nature' - our biological constraints and possibilities. Despite myths that we humans are base, flawed by either original sin or selfish genes, the most profound human yearning rooted in our biological evolution is for caring connection."
Ignazio Musulli
"We are called upon to a take a step, historically unprecedented, one that cannot even be envisioned except through the attainment of a new phase of historical consciousness - a consciousness of ourselves as a species... It is relevant to recall Jonas Salk's warning: Our future evolution will not be decided by the survival of the strongest but by the survival of the wisest."

This summary of the series "Transcending Paradigms" includes the following notions and questions:
It is clear that our current paradigm has driven us to create a world that is radically unsustainable, and we are caught in a complex conundrum.
How can we free ourselves from the "Gordian Knot" we, ourselves, have created?
Will we continue to choose a paradigm of "Power-over" or instead, "Power-with" others?
If we are hypnotized into a form of waking sleep, how can we awaken?
Can we move past the flood of day-to-day events and gain insight into deeper dynamics?
How can we cooperate with the new worldview/paradigm that is seeking to be born?
