Dear Friends:

Representing worldwide spiritual poverty, critical neglect for strategic character education is central to climate disruption and global discord. Inadequate character development reflects a general history of less than (W)hole® appreciation for managing chaos with cosmic orientations to consciousness. In manifold signs and aspects of death, such mindlessness generates stubbornly unbending traditions, addictions to pastimes, unending wars, unbounded greed, unquenchable thirst for power, and ubiquitous entertainment for endlessly superficial culture. In response, to help individuals to transform untimely habits, this blog is an inspirational resource for contemplative education and peace. By means of focused attention, creative powers for change can be crafted and released into life through text and audio contemplation.

My father once said, "It is not enough for you to know that you are well, nor for others to see that you're well; but if you would encourage other sick folks, you should tell how you got well, and who treated you." The substance of my mother’s life taught me that the central resource for global health is character development for superior conflict-resolution. In support of what I’ve learned, I am honored by the valuable companionship of the directors and associates of The Humanity Institute, Motto Citizens LLC, Virtue Seminary, Motto Audio, my children, close friends, and especially my loving wife. 

As a primary condition, adequate humanity to save the world cannot be based on inadequate concepts of morality. Therefore, as a critical number of individuals enact visionary morality for change, in tandem with achieving practically ideal character, practically ideal science, technology, and government will follow where character leads.

As "Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe". [H.G. Wells] "Perhaps a new spirit is rising among us. If it is, let us trace its movements and pray that our own inner being may be sensitive to its guidance, for we are deeply in need of a new way beyond the darkness that seems so close around us." [Martin Luther King] Therefore, “Never hold growth hostage to how we believe, but learn to believe such that growth is insured.”
