How
5 primary ideas guide us in the formulation of principle and practice:
Social Capitalism, which is based on focusing societies efforts on the development of people and communities, rather than the things that they use.
Neighborhood Academies to Teach, Inform, and Prepare.
Neighborhood Societies to engage people through experience in many types of communities and groups, and in learning the ways of their perpetual re-creation and maintanance, sparking the farther reaches of imagination and expression in participation.
With focus on discovering and honing personal idiosyncracies and uniqueness into a valued contribution to the community one needs and one wants.
Guilds to advance skill-sets and understandings of a body of knowledge to a level of mastery, and maintain excellent standards of practices stemming from it.
Community Reserves, that integrate people within the
community, as vital and useful contributors to its maintanance and development...teaching them the roles that are available to them, teaching civilizational skills, immersing people in experiences that inform good character, problem solving, cooperation, and competition......for the benefit of all.
The Virtuous Path is a principled commitment to a life path, that is determined by the devotion to becoming an example of a cherished Virtue, in living ones life.
Commonwealth Corps, of selflessly devoted people, both local
and from abroad, will participate in demonstrating through real-world efforts that a world of virtuous people and acts is not a fantasy or forlorn hope, but as simple as choosing to be this way.
CHI's will go by the name, Corps of Hearts, or The Hearts in shorthand.
Shared-profits are a new form of enterprise that treats the investment in people and their communities, with equal attention to that of material interests....a mix of for-profit business and not-for-profit.
All companies which we create or help in developing will be of this type, enriching all the people in the community, not just those who own the business.
We will encourage and invest in local men and women with the drive and interest in creating the enterprises that will fund the development and maintanace of a communities vital needs, wants, and aspirations.
Generating local wealth for the creators of the enterprise while investing in the communities civic and not-for-profit works.
Immaterialism is the idea that a person needs to focus on the inner being of life....the realm of experience, perception, and understanding of self and others....a world view that treats all material matters as in service to the development of these immaterials.
Eupraxophy is the idea that the break of philosophy from that of science during the age prior to the common era, as viewed by the west, was perhaps neccessary, but certainly a contributor to the atomization, and fracturing of our emotional and moral sentiments from those of our creations and explorations, and that in order that we may return to a wholeness of being in thought...in action...and in sentiment, we must reunite these founding concepts.
This is done with a non-theistic sense of purpose and principles...focusing on developing peoples abilities to make sound judgements and enhance their understandings of the broader world around them.
In practical expression:
Projects designed to inspire the best of us....bringing us together for common cause.....for universal prosperity...for universal peace...and universal justice, will be unveiled soon......drawing us closer to a united humanity....as they allow us to see with new eyes what all of us together are capable of, when we dare to dream without limits.
a Common-Wealth.....a Common Future.....a New Common Era.
