LIVING AUTHENTIC LIVES
DISCOVERING ABUNDANT JOYFULNESS, Every Day!
3.1) FREEDOM-PROMISED: Come, join us as we strive to revive our great sleeping bear of a nation from its long errant slumber and restore our culture to one that stands tall as the venerable 'Shining House on the Hill'. Restoring each person’s sense of individualism and self-worth to their own eyes first is of paramount concern! This is a renewable, hope-inspired natural resource that empowers all of us to thoughtfully overcome our earthly struggles. Together we will awaken stronger in an ever-evolving, interdependent world where we serve as the standard-bearer of an unabashed joyous lifestyle that confidently advocates Discovering Authentically, Abundant, Joyfulness, every day.
3.2) FREEDOM FROM RESPONSIBILITY: It is sadly unfortunate that somewhere along the way, far too many people became complacent with this world as it is, and tried to force us to radically evolve into a freedom-from responsibility-dominated society. They seem to prefer to believe that their current level of understanding is satisfactory, as they proceed to convince their inner selves that learning something new is generally just a lot of extra work. Herein lies the rub, far too many people are wishing for a way to get life’s bounty bestowed upon them, instead of asking for practical tools to go to work. Yet, when they are confronted by alternative opinions that contradict their own, or even well-documented experiences that may be in contrast to their comfort zone, they naturally default into mindless, knee-jerk reactionary mode and just reject it, having already decided to feel threatened and defensive. They know just enough to be dangerous, and they can’t be wrong! Still, they are unable to see the truth as it stands before them.
3.3) FREEDOM THROUGH RESPONSIBILITY: When we apply the personal responsibility aspect to the utopian concept and build our societies from the ground up, a radically different paradigm emerges. This governance for and by the people acknowledges that it is possible to create an orderly, organized society that allows and expects each individual to develop to their full potential, a society that effectively functions collectively while providing the latitude for each person to achieve life, liberty, and the pursuit of their own happiness. In this context, communal needs of social infrastructure are within the context of necessary utilities designed to provide a steady platform from which individual aspirations can launch. In other words, the bottom-up societal structure views the potential of the human spirit as the first and foremost responsibility that each individual must embrace, followed by willing participation in the civilized dance of cooperative existence. Move Forward!
3.4) FREEDOM IN CONTEXT: Obviously, we are describing these issues in the broadest sense of the terms to establish a philosophical basis for this discussion. The question on the table is simply this, does imposed “greater good” accomplishments by our societies as a whole, filter down to satisfying, long-lasting fulfillment on the individual level? Does relegate the individual to playing a societal version of “follow the leader” constitute living a full and productive life? In other words, can a civilization based on compelling its citizens to "fall in line" to the “greater good,” be able to produce a vibrant, healthy society? If we achieved such a societal utopia, from where would the individual derive their internal drive to overcome obstacles, their inspiration to innovate solutions to challenges old and new, and their compassion for all fellow beings to realize true freedom?
3.5) FREEDOM-MINDED individuals thrive on an enhanced sense of shared responsibilities. Never take for granted the foundational value of the enshrined inalienable rights that constitute our liberty of thought and actions, For when given a choice, people of all types instinctively recognize the need for truth, honor, and a bold sense of shared duty as they engage in their inherent cultural stewardship responsibilities. When we couple our familiar, guarded temperament with the latitude of grace-filled steadfast attitude, these natural law-based premises seek to establish our happiness autonomy within an inherent cultural premise.
