I think for a shift of paradigm to really manifest itself in a global/universal sense, all the different approaches and interpretations are necessary to compete and compare, try and error, combine and divide and transform ultimately to what it is or will be. I can see awakening all around me, people being so much more aware of themselves and the energy around them. So many have become sensitive about their mental and physical abilities and are now in a preliminary trial and error phases. Within the mass of slowly and steady evolving, there are individuals who are spearheading the game.... and everyone together, is creating change with every thought and strength of intention that is accumulating out there. The vortex of progressive thought will build up a point, where the comparatively small island of change will cause a a radical repatterning of the entire system. Light gravitates to light and conglomerate to create that spiritual island i am mentioning.
The paradigm shift in inevitable.
