““America is beginning to evolve beyond the worldview that has been predominant for many decades—the rational-individualistic-materialistic paradigm. We are evolving a more integrated view of systems, a more inclusive philosophy, and a more compassionate global understanding. These emerging values ultimately support a sacred worldview in which we all find common ground. A sacred worldview is built on reverence and respect for all. The emergence of a worldview based on reverence for all is thus the bigger theme of this part of the book, which lays the groundwork for the rest of the societal changes I believe are required for the next evolution of our country.””
