America's insistence on individual rights makes good sense because a society or any group of any kind is nothing else but a collection of individuals. The existence of any group rests on the existence of individuals. The strength, integrity and any given quality of the group rests on the strength, integrity and any given corresponding quality held and expressed in each individual.

EN recognizes this very important point. EN recognizes the importance of the individual. Because humanity has evolved since America was founded, there is now just as great a need to extend the trend set by America as there was when the Magna Carta was the only document of significance concerning individual rights in existence. In picking up where America left off, in both restoring and extending individual rights, it's our intent that EN will advance the legacy begun in America and thus contribute to humanity's forward progress in regard to individual rights.

Due to problems made evident as particular countries are polarized, or opposed by other countries or cults who do not approve of their ways, it is apparent that not everyone understands the importance of individual rights, or understands the logic behind America's founding father's concerns, wishes and enacted protections. There's a global transition taking place, and fundamentalist groups, cults condemning human nature (in this particular transition), and those with low tolerance of the beliefs of others, try to retract human rights and freedoms. The opposition can be within any given country.

When a new worldview is accepted by a civilization, governing bodies and large institutions are usually the last to change over to the new ways of seeing things—the new ways of thinking. As a result, a rift or conflict then develops between these bodies and the individual (in beliefs and resulting values, principles, thinking, and in ways of doing things; and in the interpretation of the meaning or correctness of those behaviors).

Humanity is currently transitioning into a new era, and such a rift is already showing. The kind of education EN provides is the key to a better future, but by its very unique nature, creates a need for certain basic rights and protections. Those whose interest is in enforcing the traditional thought-forms (and the particular incorrectly attached principles or moral values) prevent humanity's growth. Good people, or those with good intents, can be hurt, and so need protection and representation. This is so because those who are liberated are often denied their basic rights and freedoms, or are restricted due to various resistances. All of this is due to the intolerance of those institutions, and individuals, whom have dug in and refuse to change.

Since EN's effort to accelerate global change through education creates an opposite reaction or resistance in some, we feel that we must also offer protections for those who may suffer due to the conflict. How do we make sure all children are fed and cared for, and offered the opportunity to learn about the nature of reality—and that their thoughts and actions form their reality? The political reality is that many oppose such altruistic action and would rather let children starve or suffer, than allow us to help them. Even more sensitive and heated an issue is that some consider our altruistic teaching to be incorrect. EN therefore educates and protects.

Thus far we've given you the reason for our first two divisions: education and protection. Now we'll give you the reason for our philanthropic division.

The new worldview reveals that human behavior is a result of belief, or enculturation. Enculturation is indoctrination into a culture's predominant belief system. When an individual adopts the beliefs of his or her culture, something significant happens that not everyone is aware of. A belief system is to an individual as a hard drive or operating program is to a computer. Whatever behavior a culture is taught is natural becomes predominant in each individual adopting its basic premises, but not necessarily because it is natural.

The fact is that behavior always reflects beliefs, that behavior is always interpreted in light of those beliefs, and that this is true whether that behavior is unnatural, criminal and competitive, or natural, cooperative and loving. Beliefs are a culture's expectations, and they always manifest in a society's individual members. In subtle ways, but on multiple levels, adults and peers influence children, rewarding or discouraging behavior and their thinking patterns. This goes on until certain adult expectations have become a reality, which means that everything then fits the picture given. The norms that then form around this picture are adopted by most youth in a desperate effort to fit in and belong.

Our globally predominant and particularly negative theories as to the nature of earthlife and human nature are incorrect. They are generating humanity's many problems. Our understanding of what motivates each individual needs to change. The way for future change is being paved as open-minded individuals become aware of errors in our mainstream assumptions in psychology and other fields, and as they move on to explore new and more natural concepts. Once taught the new facts then become real behaviors as we explained happens. This is the only way humanity can ever hope to change behavior and improve the social quality of human life.

This is exactly how EN is changing human behavior globally. It's the only way. The insights conveyed as to the origins, conceptual evolution, nature and purposes of humanity are accurate substitutes for what we have now. These are facts being conveyed, and so have greater power to manifest as human behavior than our current highly disadvantageous false mainstream beliefs do. Very simply, as we learn to believe we are good, and teach how and why to our children, they increasingly feel a need to manifest that as their reality. EN thus provides a way by giving members/readers a philanthropic division.

Because of naturally changing beliefs we are witnessing a rise in the number of philanthropists around the world (and especially in materially wealthy countries). The world will heal and transition in a way no one now imagines as a result. A new world is being born from the inside out. The new worldview EN teaches is slowly being assimilated. It accelerates this naturally occurring process because it reveals the fact that the human being is good, not evil, or in any way flawed. Our courses cause the natural altruism within us to be released, and when this happens our desire to express our altruism is amplified. We are generating philanthropic attitudes by the nature of the worldview we are implementing and so need to provide avenues or suggestions for altruistic actions—the means to help the world and assist in producing a much better future for our children. This is why EN is also offering avenues for those who are feeling this need or drive to contribute to the world to make it a better place for all of us to live.

That covers the reasons for our three divisions symbolized in our triangular logo. There are other ways in which we advance individual rights and protections. One such way would be to reduce the number of laws, and create an entirely new kind of criminal justice system. EN is currently introducing just such a system. Countries adopting excess laws or restrictive dogmas often reveal a kind of regression. In many situations we are seeing power gradually shifting from the governed to the governing. If you're an American experiencing this problem, you can think of it as a reversal of your forefather's intents. Instead of contributing your individuality and unique talents to the group, the organization impresses its dogmas and group thinking on you. Rather than advancing yourself through its auspices, you become its instrument. You loose your autonomy; individuality blurs, and you become robot-like in service to ideas and political interests that are not really yours.

A cult by definition divests the individual of power by transferring it to a leader and/or group, in which case the individual is a pawn or puppet. Whereas EN, by definition, brings into being the exact opposite condition, instilling the individual with power and rights in the same way America's Declaration of Independence and Constitution did, only EN extends those rights to a much higher power to reflect the fact that we consider the natural individual to be altruistic, and therefore trustworthy and deserving of autonomy to a much higher degree.

Our name is Earth Network International for a reason. We are not a religious organization and we are not like any other group. The word Network is in our name because we are a network of autonomous individuals. Autonomy means: The right to self-government; independence; self-determination; freedom of the will; and personal freedom.

We are not a stuffy pompous group glorifying in our self-importance. We are more like children in that we are child-like, but never childish. However, EN is nothing other than what you are about (and a resource for you), and so we really can't say what we are about without asking what you are about.

Our courses will teach you what our society does not yet know. We have not only unprecedented solutions to blocked personal fulfillment, but solutions for terrorism and similar social problems, that do work. Not only do we protect advanced knowledge, but we also protect the individual who holds this knowledge from the ignorance of those who do not—extensions of Thomas Jefferson's “right to the pursuit of happiness.” We give you the ability to do what's right, what's good, and what will greatly advance yourself and life as a whole; and we preserve that knowledge within our auspices.
