—A Shift of Mind The word is "metanoia" and it means a shift of mind. The word has a rich history. For the Greeks, it meant a fundamental shift or change, or more literally transcendence ("meta"-above or beyond, as in "metaphysics") of mind ("noia," from the root "nous," of mind). In the early (Gnostic) Christian tradition, it took on a special meaning of awakening shared intuition and direct knowing of the highest, of God. "Metanoia" was probably the key term of such early Christians as John the Baptist. In the Catholic corpus the word metanoia was eventually translated as “repent." Senge, Peter. The Fifth Discipline

The Mission and Philosophy
METANOIA
Metanoia essentially means a new way of thinking. Our mission is to seek and provide information that tears away some of our flawed assumptions and to introduce our readership to new paradigms that multiply exponentially successful results from consequentially newly formed habits. E.O. Wilson, in Sociobiology, The New Synthesis, defines the “multiplier effect” as: A small evolutionary change in the behaviour pattern of individuals-amplified into a major social effect by the expanding upward distribution of the effect into multiple facets of social life. This effect can be credited with giving man pre-eminence over other forms of life, as well as over his environment. It is a visible consequence of altruism. If a small change can do so much for a species, imagine the possibilities for the individual. The human species (i.e. you or I) have within our mental capabilities a composite of traits and behaviours, some successful, some not, that amplify themselves into a broad and expansive scope of possibilities. On the one hand we have individuals such as Bill Gates, Barack Obama, Albert Einstein and many others who exemplify the best of what humans can achieve and offer and at the other end of the spectrum those who can barely sustain themselves. Most of us lie somewhere in between. But why the divergence? Is upward mobility possible? For everyone? Are we a species with a purpose or merely an evolutionary stepping stone to something greater? Is our brain capable of asking a relevant question or are we mired in a quagmire of stupidity and selfindulgence? Such a small magazine, with such grandiose plans! But we mean to answer the smaller questions as well. And that’s what brings you into the fray, whether you are a member of the Bilderberg group or just someone trying to find an adequate partner. We are here for you. Just write, email or phone us – and we will do our best to respond – and forgive us if we delve too deep into the issues or give you more than you ever asked for or wanted to know.
