Reimagine We Begins with Reimagine WeIt is not just a philosophy, a brand or even a framework. It represents an evolutionary process towards empowerment. Most empowerment models start with confidence. Reimagine We starts with awareness of inner formation. We envision empowerment as human development not motivation. Further, we recognize that people often try to change systems without understanding the psychological and moral architecture that created the system.
In this episode, we explore the power of worldview formation and collective imagination in creating a better world together. Listen in as we discuss the transformative potential of evolving our mindset and shaping our culture and society for the future. Reimagine We treats empowerment as human development, not motivation. And development always unfolds in stages. Reimagine We is not
a political ideology. It is not a self-help motivation platform nor a social justice club.
Instead, it is a worldview formation process.
Worldview Formation CycleOur purpose here is to expose listeners to a worldview formation process that examines how we interpret reality, how we live in that reality, and how we shape society. Understanding worldview formation begins with understanding that our words, actions, and behaviors are not random. They are downstream of an inner worldview framed by our thoughts, beliefs, and ideas. The inner worldview shapes how we interpret outer reality; how we value ourself and others; and how we decide what is possible. All of that is to say that our innermost thoughts, beliefs, and ideas shows up in our words, actions, behaviors as a function of our worldview formation.
The Hidden Reality: Humans Are ConditionedCore Concept – people do not start life thinking independently. We start life absorbing narratives as sources of formation—who we are; where we come from; and what matters. The range of narratives include family stories, cultural/historical roots, media exposure, identity/self concept, fear/trauma, education, and more. And on top of all that, we also experience shifts in worldview as we experience life daily. The Worldview Formation Cycle operates on four major planes:
- Informing our decisions, behaviors, and culture.
- Shaping our perception: trust, building, meaning, and identity.
- Creating results in society, community, justice.
- Conflict or cohesion
Finally, the Worldview Formation Cycle continues through Praxis (consciously and unconsciously): Actions, Habits, Policies, Relationships, and Institutions.
Worldview Is the Invisible Architecture That Produces Your Identity A worldview is not what you believe. A world view is what your life consistently assumes is true about realty, people, power, and purpose. Worldview is reflected in how you show up. Now ponder these questions:
- How do you show up?
- Who/what do you represent when you show up?
- Why do you show as you do?
- What is the impact of how you show up?
- Who do you show up as?
