For several centuries, various scholars believed in the equation Knowledge = Power (eg, Imam Ali, Francis Bacon, Michel Foucault). This concept is also known as dualism. It took me some time to understand that my concept of Love, Knowledge & Power (my blogs), represents a related concept called trialism (my blogs), apart from the 3 roads to Wisdom.
In 2018, I noticed various paradigm shifts that are weakening the Knowledge domain of the 7 Belief systems, and are strengthening its Power domain (eg, my 12 July 2018 blog). In 2020, I have come to realise that this trend is inevitable, and represents another related concept called monism (my blogs).
Hence, trialism, dualism and monism are overlapping my concept of Love, Knowledge & Power. This is represented in my (updated) diagram below:
The main difference to the diagram that I posted earlier (ie, Facebook, LinkedIn) is the dotted line from monism to trialism.
I think, feel and believe that only systemic wars can make us realise the (missing) value of Love (eg, God, family, friends, strangers).
For several weeks, I have felt numb by the corona hysteria around us. This feeling resulted in my early August blog: Taking a break.
It took me a while to realise that current events fit a bigger picture: fear and ignorance are driving us away from the Knowledge domain towards the Power domain of the 7 Belief systems.
Hence, the 2020 corona “pandemic” is accelerating the paradigm shift from Knowledge to Power – or from dualism to monism. This development is (i) causing an economic decoupling between China and USA, and (ii) is also increasing the chances for a systemic war (eg, Russia invading Belarus, China invading Taiwan, China vs India, China vs USA, Turkey vs Greece).
I think, feel and believe that we live in very dangerous times as global governments seem paralysed by pandemic fears, and global media seem ignorant about genuine dangers.
