The Sphere of Media

There needs to be a way to comprehensively integrate and balance objective facts with intersubjective perspectives, as well as the input of the most authoritative non-partisan experts. A new paradigm of whole-view journalism and communication must be considered to create news coverage that successfully integrates the exterior objective and interior subjective worlds of both the individual and the collective.

Conventional objective mainstream media normally juxtaposes partisan conservative perspectives with partisan liberal perspectives, creating a debate where the reader/listener feels obligated to choose one side or the other, even when sometimes both perspectives can be right or both can be wrong – or even more often, both perspectives are half-right and half-wrong. Moving beyond a bipartisan juxtaposition of intersubjective perceptions and including nonpartisan perspectives would provide a check and balance on two opposing points of view.

Because arguments and events reflect different spheres of reality, the aim is to organize the grains of truth from each perspective while still pointing out the untruths, and to get different points of views to talk to each other instead of at

each other. A whole-view approach will help to integrate and organize the partial truths of various points of view, and can help to successfully incorporate observable, exterior objective facts while taking into consideration the underlying invisible, interior intersubjective perceptions.

A polarized gap is created through “He Said / She Said” communication, because individuals are isolated from real interacting through dissident points of view, with the current state of journalism remaining ineffective at bridging this polarized gap. A whole-view approach would encourage and stimulate dialogue between opposing viewpoints so that real meaning can be co-created by the collective. By incorporating the perspectives of a variety of different official views and experts, journalism and communication would put a larger emphasis on bridging the gaps of understanding between conflicting perspectives.

It is not about creating a space in which any one party can win, but to provide information and to enable dialogue where the participants are allowed to seriously explore the strongest merits of a great variety of points of view, factors and facts. In the end it must give everyone the best opportunity to create meanings and solutions for themselves and society at large, for the greater good.

As human beings, we are constantly bombarded with an endless parade of messages that come in myriads of forms and shapes and lines, as thoughts, symbols, dreams, communication, etc., with the Internet and Technology playing an ever-growing and powerful role. We are indeed part of the Big Mind and we are shaping our world and being shaped by the world through these messages and our interpretation of them.

The development and healing of this Sphere is based upon the idea that the message, “We Are All One, interrelated, interconnected and interdependent, with God/Life/One-another,” is the key spiritual message the world has been waiting for to bring about loving and sustainable answers to humanity’s challenges.

This means that our communication and connections with the billions of others as we enter the space of the Global Brain will reflect our conscious communication and connection with our self; ensuring that we co-create the sustainable world of peace and prosperity for all we’ve all been dreaming of instead of recreating that which we do not want.
