The Core Paradigm: Evolutionary rather than revolutionary, the Core Paradigm is an alternative to traditional ways of looking at human consciousness and motivation. The paradigm simply states that our behavior and emotional life are subject to two masters--One functions when faced with PERCEIVED fear, threat or life necessity and we call this the Auto/Protector Self--And the other--which has been called many things--is the full and creative expression of ourselves as conscious human beings and we refer to this as the Authentic Self. The dynamics of these, rooted in basic survival behavior and humanity's thirst for discovery, are the source of our troubles and strength as human beings. Discovery of who we really are and allowing the reemergence of our Authentic Self is the road to real personal freedom, satisfaction, peace of mind and empowerment.

"Many of us struggle with issues and problems that seem repetitious in our life, and we unwittingly reproduce frustratingly similar results. Perspectives is about breaking into those unrewarding or self defeating life patterns." Larry Gneiting

The Core Paradigm is a more accurate way of viewing the human consciousness and the behavior motivated by it. Haven't you ever wondered why you did the things you did or felt the way you felt? Rationally much of our behavior is contrary to our desires for a better and happier life and yet we seem compelled to engage these behaviors anyway. What could explain this beyond the traditional diagnostic mental health model? Wouldn't it be amazing if we in fact weren't sick or broken at all and that our behavior was normal human behavior in an abnormal society. Wouldn't it be great if the problem was one of learning how to be more effective and more conscious in a society (environment) gone mad rather than the individuals in it. The Core Paradigm will show you how your behavior and emotional states are really normal rational conditions for a human being under tremendous emvoronmental threat (or perceived threat) AND HOW YOU CAN REGAIN YOUR CENTER TO BE EMPOWERED IN YOUR UNIVERSE!

As children we were helpless in the face of our elders, we were the victims in many situations and our personality reflected this. We were in charge of practically nothing and yet we were charged with somehow getting what we needed to survive.

How did we cope? What beliefs did we develop given our interpretation of what was happening to us? What are we after? Is there a life issue? What is it costing us to treat the world as if we were still children under siege? What is the truth to our life now? What do we really stand for past our own survival? These are questions which get answered in the core profile program.

Understanding and seeing your auto/protector for what it really is, is the first step in regaining immense control over your own life. The Core Paradigm says we are really acting from two motivations, one is survival and safety, and the other is expansive and creative. If we don't face and resolve our survival needs we are unlikely to effectively live into our highest potential.
