The Goal:
The Means is the End:
We intend to restore the fundamental necessities and environmental awareness
of the species through the avocation of the most current understandings of who
and what we truly are, coupled with how science, nature and technology
(rather than religion, politics and money) hold the keys to our personal growth,
not only as individual human beings, but as a civilization, both structurally and
spiritually. The central insights of this awareness is the recognition of the
Emergent and Symbiotic elements of natural law and how aligning with these
understandings as the bedrock of our personal and social institutions, life on
earth can and will flourish into a system which will continuously grow in a
positive way, where negative social consequences, such as social stratification,
war, biases, elitism and criminal activity will be constantly reduced and,
idealistically, eventually become nonexistent within the spectrum of human
behavior itself.
This possibility is, of course, very difficult for most humans to consider, for we
have been conditioned by society to think that crime, corruption and
dishonesty is "the way it is" and that there will always be people who want to
abuse, hurt and take advantage of others. Religion is the largest promoter of
this propaganda, for the "us and them" or "good and evil" mentality promotes
this false assumption.
The reality is that we live in a society that produces Scarcity. The consequence
of this scarcity is that human beings must behave in self preserving ways, even
if it means they have to cheat and steal in order to get what they want. Our
research has concluded that Scarcity is one of the most fundamental causes of
aberrant human behavior, while also leading to complex forms of neurosis in
other ways. A statistical look at drug addiction, crime and incarceration
statistics, finds that poverty and unhealthy social conditions comprise the life
experience of those who engage in such behavior.
Human beings are not good or bad... they are running, forever changing
compositions of the life experience(s) that influences them. The "quality" of a
human being ( if there was such a thing ) is directly related to the upbringing
and thus belief systems they have been conditioned into.
This simple reality has been grossly overlooked and today people primitively
think that competition, greed and corruption are "hardwired" elements of
human behavior and, in turn, we must have prisons, police and hence a
hierarchy of differential control in order for society to deal with these
"tendencies". This is totally illogical and false.

The bottom line is that in order to change things for the better fundamentally,
you must begin to address root causes. Our current society's system of
"punishment" is outmoded, inhumane, and unproductive. When a serial killer
is caught, most people jump up and down and scream for the death of that
person. This is backwards. A truly sane society, which understands what we are
and how our value systems are created, would take the individual and learn the
reasons behind his or her violent actions. This information would then go to a
research department which considers how to stop such conditions from
occurring through education.

It is time to stop the patchwork. It is time to begin a new social approach


which is updated to present day knowledge. Sadly, society today is still largely
based on outmoded, superstitious dispositions and resolutions.

It is also important to point out that there are no utopias or endings. All
evidence points to perpetual change on all levels. In turn, it is our personal
actions everyday of our lives that mold and perpetuate the social systems we
have in place. Yet, paradoxically, it is also our environmental influences which
create our perspectives and hence world views. Therefore, true change will
come not only from adjusting your personal understandings and decisions, but
equally from changing the social structures that influence these understandings
and decisions.

The elite power systems are little affected in the long run by traditional protest
and political movements. We must move beyond these 'establishment
rebellions' and work with a tool much more powerful:
We will stop supporting the system, while constantly advocating knowledge,
peace, unity and compassion. We cannot "fight the system". Hate, anger and
the 'war' mentality are failed means for change, for they perpetuate the same
tools the corrupt, established power systems use to maintain control to begin
with.
