Meta-paradigms
Beyond the Paradigm is the Metaparadigm. A Meta-paradigm (and
a meta-meta-paradigm) is a group of paradigms sharing certain common
ways of looking at and interpreting and distorting reality. For the
sake of gross over-simplicity (which is necessary because otherwise one
could have endless sub-sub-sub divisions and an infinite number of parameters)
I have selected a few metaparadigms here. These are just some convenient
frameworks for putting things in boxes so the rational
intellect can comprehend them. Ultimately of course Reality
is beyond all paradigms
Reality is infinitely multifaceted, and the reality one experiences
is a result of one's state of consciousness at the time (and perhaps dare
I say vice-versa ;-) So it is not the case that one reality
is "higher" than another; all are different perspectives, some more limited,
some more universal.
