World Puzzle Project
(“Global Mind Project”)

All human activities begin on the worldview level. Our conscious or subconscious views manage our feelings, thoughts, and actions. A key for the success of our united efforts for sustainable living is finding a common basis in our worldviews for better coordination of our efforts. It does not mean that we all should come to the same integrated worldview. It means that we all come to an agreement on our worldview's place in the most inclusive meta-worldview that we can develop together via finding a common denominator basis for our worldviews. Meta-worldviews can be different as well as strategies for reaching them. All participants of the project are expected to have a high level of Global Systems Thinking, great cross-cultural and interpersonal communication skills, personal psychological balance skills, and sustainable ethics.
A “World Puzzle Project” provides for an integration of the step-by-step efforts of different groups of participants with the ability to create united worldviews and the ability to implement them into in society (philosophers, advisers, and leaders of different socioeconomic groups) for the benefit of sustainability 3.0. These groups will “assemble” their worldviews from different angles. They need to find common components, “bricks” in their worldviews, and figure out ways of how those bricks get put together into different “buildings” of their worldviews. This approach eventually gives them a new level of a worldview which would include their own worldviews as different parts. It is like all the elements consist of different numbers of electrons and protons, and they are perfectly organized in a big picture of Periodic Table of the elements.
This is a plan for the project:
1. Collect materials for assembling a united worldview:
A. Consider different traditional religious & non-religious, cultural & cross-cultural concepts of participants;
B. Consider different approaches to worldviews (sciences, humanities, arts) of participants;
2. Work on integration of worldviews and approaches (integration of points 1 A and 1 B):
A. Find common basis for all approaches and concepts;
B. Explore interconnections between them;
C. Assemble the whole “big picture” with the placement of each worldview in it.
3. Use outcomes of point 2 for the enrichment of already working worldviews of participants, for updating old and the development of new approaches and techniques of functioning their socioeconomic global networks which would be available for general public and meet their needs in those socioeconomic groups. (Reasonable updates in functioning the entire education system and in contents of educational programs; in functioning of temples and in contents of prayers or meditations; in functioning global businesses networks and in contents of their activities, etc., and then the implementation of those updates in real life.)
4. Integration of actions of updated functioning of socioeconomic networks (point 3) with preparation for social changes on personal level (sustainable development of people's consciousness which will prepare the society for changes.)
5. Actions of socioeconomic structures on the basis of point 4 which will provide for real social change.
One of the examples of a united worldview can be found at this website under subpage "Pattern Resonance Theory".
