Hi Essence,
I'm not all that sure what a Paradigm shift is but for me anyway, I have this deep understanding lately that everything that I "know" is really just the "finger pointing at the moon", and soon I will really "know" instaed of interpreting the finger pointing at the moon as the moon itself.
I wonder if this shift you sense is the enlightenment of those who now are simply aware or becoming aware.
I have always felt that there are many who are aware but very few who are enlightened.
My 2 cents.
