These two questions from the title actually go hand in hand. You cannot have a reality without a paradigm from which reality is appearing from. But who or what creates those? Is it just given to us?  There is a consistent human blind spot that the reality that we get is already there; we just happen to have to wake up every day and work at how to live in it. But reality itself is actually not a fixed thing. And in this episode, I’ve decided to tackle this complex topic, to unpack how the current paradigm and our view of reality came to be, how it’s starting to shift for us as the species, and how we can deepen our understanding of this process. What You’ll Learn:  -The way enough collective agreement creates a paradigm -What is the old paradigm created by science of that time -Who started to challenge the dominant scientific paradigm first -Why we need to include human consciousness into our relationship with reality -How the fixedness of how reality appears for us becomes destabilised -The importance of our power to take responsibility for our own reality -Question 1 - What is it that you are now ready to question? -Question 2 - What do you think could be possible if you are really responsible for how reality appears to you as an individual?  Resources:  -Access our ’21 days of Expansion’ Audio Activation Process gift: https://nickyclinch.lpages.co/podcast-gift-21-days/ -Visit my website: https://nickyclinch.com/  -Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicky_clinch/  -Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nickyclinchmaturation  -Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/nicky-clinch-surrender
