systems thinkingSystems thinking means
thinking in terms of
relationships, in terms of how components connect and interact within the
system.
Ecology –
derived from the Greek word oikos ("household") – is the
science of relationships among
the various members of the
Earth Household.
Systems thinking emerged from a series of
interdisciplinary dialogues among biologists, psychologists, and
ecologists who realized that
a living system – organism, ecosystem, or social system – is an
integrated whole whose properties cannot be reduced to those of smaller
parts.
Systems thinking involves
a shift of perspective from
thinking of the parts to thinking of realtionships of the whole.
Understanding life requires a shift of
focus from objects to relationships.
All the essential properties of a
living system depend on the relationships among the system
components.
The stability of an
ecosystem depends on its biodiversity, on the complexity of its network of
relationships and the stability of both.
Each
species in an ecosystem helps to sustain the entire food web.
If one species is decimated by
some natural catastrophe, the ecosystem will only be resilient if there are
other species that can fulfill similar functions.
Networks, cycles,
feedback loops, are examples of patterns of organization that are
characteristic of Life.
Systems thinking involves a shift of
perspective from examination of
individual content to patterns.
Systems thinking is always
contextual thinking.
The shape of a plant, or the colors of a bird, depend on their
environment – on the
vegetation, climate, etc. – and also on
the evolutionary history of the
species, on the historical
context.
Systems thinking implies a shift away from
the objective knowledge of
the intellect and the
subjective knowledge of the spirit to
contextual knowledge to the
knowledge of relationships.
Systems thinking means a
shift of perception from
material objects and structures to
the nonmaterial processes and
patterns of organization that represent the very essence of
life.

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational
purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged a populace unable to discern
propaganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an
international corporate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt
version of reality on the human race. Religious intolerance occurs when any
group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religious beliefs or persons due
to their religious ideology. This web site marks the founding of a system of
philosophy named The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie - a
rational gnostic mystery religion based on reason which requires no leap of
faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in
which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a personal relation
with the Creator and Sustainer through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality
in the hope of curing the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human
spirit. The tenets of The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are
spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Violent acts against
individuals due to their religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate
crime."
This web site in no way condones violence. To the contrary the
intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the
international corporate cartels desire to control the human race. The
international corporate cartel already controls the world economic system,
corporate media worldwide, the global industrial military entertainment complex
and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of self-centered
behavior and the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on
coöperation. Coöperation does not occur at the point of a
gun.
American social mores and values have declined precipitously over
the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more
power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general
through corporate media by pressing emotional buttons which have been
preprogrammed into the population through prior corporate media psychological
operations. The results have been the destruction of the family and the
destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the corrupt
international elites vision of a
perfect world. Through distraction and coercion the direction of thought of
the bulk of the population has been directed toward solutions proposed by the
corrupt international elite that further consolidates their power and which
further their purposes.
