Paradigms are used in living one’s life…. The This Tree of Life first stage is an “I”, a Glory and Victory practice and the second tosses the “I” (ego driven) to develop a Self who can understand, by seeing the culture that supports the Glory and Victory practices such as money and/or even religion and replacing with theory and practice (rational thinking). Then the self rather than “I” will provide rational thinking which will add judgement and Mercy to discipline and love.
