Worldview

Our worldview encapsulates human life as a mere and transitory participant in a vast expanse of cosmic energy. It is therefore that our current journey through this existence and in this form should be viewed and treated with utmost humility and respect for every other form of energy as we progress with high ethical standards through a constant evolutionary cycle.

Lift human life from sheer material existence to a spiritual level to move towards a more blissful experience.
Shed artificial religious and economic constraints imposed by the human world.
Take a break from the race we are in and retrace back to ways of living at one with nature.
Raise our consciousness to sense the environment around us and maneuver its varied nuances to find a path away from greed and wastefulness.
Find harmony within our ecological, social and economic boundaries.

Ecology

Humans are an integral part of the biosphere that stretches from the layers of atmosphere above our heads to the extensive mycorrhizal network of fungi and root system below our feet.
The plants, animals, insects, reptiles, birds, soil, water, land, air, and stars, along with every other inhabitant of this planet and beyond are intertwined into a single cosmic entity.
It is only with a perfect balance of all the energies from each these sources that the world seems what it does to us as humans.

Exploitation and destruction of any single entity in this vast universe for human consumption has already led to severe catastrophic damage to the very balance that has sustained us so far.
Whether we understand the myriad languages and messages used to communicate between the individual beings or not, the meaning of our existence exists only in communion with this vast universe.
To be, shall be to respect the ecological relationship we have with the world around us, reconnect with nature, and ensure its stability to find our own.

Premise

Societies are a way of forming groups for cohabitation; every species we see and understand, including plants, seems to have found a way to cohabit for survival.
Social interactions, sharing and exchanging, whether to celebrate together or ward off danger as a group, brings a sense of belonging and security to individual members.
For societies to thrive and perform for the benefit of all, they must be based on shared values that are cultivated and practiced by all to maintain harmony.
Each member needs to rise above their own individual needs and respect the needs of the whole group to survive.

Current Situation

Today we live in a world where humans are imprisoned within artificial boundaries drawn on land to define countries and states.
Yet, we have forgotten to live within those boundaries and have become dependent on global trade to survive.
Traditional communities built around indigenous knowledge centers and based out of specific geoclimatic regions have swiftly declined taking with them their vastness of cultural heritage and local knowledge that equipped those communities to sustain themselves within their limits.
While exchange of ideas and information across boundaries is enriching for human civilizations, an effort to blend everything into a single cultural pot is not only damaging at an individual level, but also destructive for the very fabric that binds to maintain sustainable communities.
Rapid digital technology growth has created a lot of noise in available information and bred a generation of self-indulgence, hyper-individualism, unhealthy competition, and social isolation.

Need of the Hour

Social unity and harmony is essential for peace and stability of human beings.
Character building exercises should be encouraged starting at an early age to create individuals that respect and blend within communities.
Individual living and global living are two different extremes, and humans need to rediscover the joys and strengths that are found in the structure in between i.e., in smaller selfsustainable communities formed around shared cultural needs and value systems.
Misuse or cultural appropriation of traditional practices of a place, which has led to a dilution of social values and cultural amnesia, needs to be stopped immediately.
Revive local cultures and traditions to enrich our experiences and liberate ourselves from social colonialism.
It is important to reconnect with other humans and nature while preserving local identities that form the genealogical framework of human beings which also governs their overall physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.

Economics

Current human population worldwide is mostly driven by only one commodity, currency.
Currency as an object of human exchange has become the sole measure of one’s success in this physical world (apart from name and fame) and has been used to store and hoard material property for own investment and hereditary successors.
The economic system of earnings and rewards in units of money, and growth driven by GDP (Gross Domestic Product), has led to selfishness, greed, and accumulation of wealth by simultaneous exploitation of resources by agencies, providers, and consumers alike.
Pursuit of money has caused us to cross physical and ethical boundaries and initiated a decline in individual relationships and social structures.

The human race needs to immediately embark on a path of ‘degrowth’ based on human needs and not capitalistic interests.
Every geoclimatic region with common topography would form a self-sufficient economic construct based on the natural resources of the area and ensure that these local communities follow circular economic principles to reuse and recycle for sustainability
Limiting the major economic transactions within local regions would automatically reduce global trade and transport requirements and motivate cultures to respect nature and value what it provides for our survival.
Indigenous cultural richness shall prosper and give rise to healthier human civilizations that adopt stewardship for ecosystem regeneration and operate in harmony with their surroundings.

Follow the Dream and Walk the Path

It is only when human beings rise above their need for greed that they can embark on a path towards personal and social rejuvenation.
Focus should be brought back to cultivating ethical values that can help humans to operate with each other in communities and by respecting the whole environment and all its inhabitants.
Building strong characters shall be the greatest wealth of any community.
Strong social values will ensure fairness and justice for all and breed trust and prosocial behavior that will make the community stronger with every generation.
This would lead to thriving individuals, thriving societies and a thriving planet.
