World Pattern Of Process

WPoP Background

The World Pattern of Process was first a PhD thesis of Rasunah Marsden at the University of British Columbia in 2019. It has now the following objectives

To establish that a process-based cosmology is preferred to segmented or linear life patterns.
To facilitate the cross-fertilization of the arts and sciences.
To revitalize the education of values: the values individual societies esteem most highly are often values shared in common.
To advocate that a more general understanding of this cosmology would ultimately be to the benefit of all.
To advance the discernment of societies, cultures and ethnic groups.
To disseminate the work for the wider consideration of Educators and Academics.

Lay Summary

The World Pattern of Process introduces the concepts Zat, Sifat, Asma, Af'al (ZSAA) and material, vegetal, animal and human energies and then discusses correlations in the sciences and humanities which are supported by these concepts. A focus on energy and processes over and above objects or matter is emphasized in the dissertation.

Part 1 (Chapters 1-4) articulates the process central to World Pattern in the 'ZSAA' format. Part 2 (Chapters 5-7) shows the application of the concepts when viewing indigenous world views, the Great Chain of Being, and Theories of Everything. These applications were chosen as examples of alternate, past and contemporary world views, respectively, which can be associated with the World Pattern. As a pattern of analysis, the World Pattern of Process offers a holistic approach to knowledge systems and re-invigorates dialectics on human be-ing which can enrich deliberations on existence and process in the field of education and beyond.

Vishwas

About Vishwas

Persons with mental illness and their families become isolated from society. They have to suffer because of lack of knowledge, misbeliefs, and stigma. There is no other support or guidance available to them apart from the help from doctors. Often the so-called mental illness is a spiritual process which helps in healing and awakening at a very deep level. It is said that the waters in which a mystic swims in are the same waters in which a person with so-called mental illness drowns in. Our attempt is to help them at least float in these waters. We want to provide a space for support without judgment. Vishwas is an organization where we believe that with support and guidance all persons who are in a spiritual journey but termed as mentally ill, will blossom into their full selves and change the world!

Why Vishwas

Vishwas is a Sanskrit word that when translated in English has many meanings according to the Collins dictionary. All of these words compoundingly convey what we are trying to provide through this initiative. Firstly, it means 'assurance' and when you give someone assurance that things are ok or they are going to be ok, you are trying to make them less worried. Vishwas also translates into 'confidence' or 'conviction' and here at Vishwas we are trying to nurture that confidence and belief in your thinking and the way you might be feeling. Here 'conviction' also points towards a feeling of certainty and that something that you are experiencing exists, is true and might be for good. The word vishwas also means 'credence' and through Vishwas we hope to lend credence to your consciousness and awareness of your spiritual energies so that you feel empowered and not bewildered. We are also trying to lend credence to your feelings and awareness. Vishwas also means 'notion' and we at Vishwas are here to support your ideas and thinking in meaningful ways and guide you to the right kind of therapies and support that may heal you in dealing with your mental health crises and emergencies. And lastly vishwas means 'trust' which is going to be the very basis of our work and partnership with you because we believe in you and your understanding of your world and we expect you to trust us and allow us to support you in your healing process.

What is Spirituality

Spirituality is an acknowledged concept. It involves belief, experience and for some, obedience to an all powerful force usually called God, who resides within each of us. It involves the ways in which people fulfill what they hold to be the purpose of their lives, a search for the meaning of life and a sense of connectedness to the universe. The universality of spirituality extends across creed and culture. For a lot of persons undergoing the so-called extreme states of consciousness, spirituality is an energy which drives all actions and intentions in a profoundly experiential and transcendent way. At the same time, spirituality is very much personal and unique to each person. It is a sacred realm of human experience. Spirituality nurtures many qualities such as love, honesty, patience, tolerance, compassion, a sense of detachment, faith, and hope. Of late, there are some reports which suggest that some areas of the brain, mainly the nondominant one, are involved in the appreciation and fulfillment of spiritual values and experiences. However, universal consciousness is much beyond the physical brain and even our minds.

Spiritual Processes

The spiritual processes are all processes which can cause a shift in one's identity and reality, an acknowledgment of the cosmic consciousness, an expanded bandwidth of perception, phenomena which are very transformative if allowed to integrate into one's life. To know more click here.
