Religion, philosophy and
science are considered and understood as approaches, or ways of understanding and managing
existence and development. Understanding the conditions, demands and challenges of
existence and the world around us, how to deal with and respond to them. Their roots and
development, limits and shortcomings, problematic results and consequences. The direction
we need to take in conceptual and mental development and growth, individually and as a
species. To address the loss of morals, ethics and values, the breakdown of society,
community and family, the loss of focus, purpose and direction in life. To deal with and
address persisting and growing human individual, social and environmental problems and
difficulties, we face, we create and we have to deal with, individually, as societies and
as a species, locally and globally around the world today.
Understanding and managing
existence and development, problems and difficulties from the ground up and from the
inside out. From inside the mind and mental existence, beginning with the individual,
individual mental existence and mental development. The understanding, mental powers and
abilities, mental skills and practices we need to develop, how to develop and use them. To
sustain an expanding global human population in just and equitable ways, on the limited
and finite natural material resources base of the Earth. And not contribute further to the
premature demise, in the long-term, of the human species at its own hands.
