The Way Forward

As raw children, we are neither very good or very sane. Let us live our lives--as we now are--as organizational men/organizational women, group-living cogs in the institutional machine, then it is a miracle that we are as good, progressive, well-behaved and technologically advanced as we are.

Mavellonialism is all about giving poor humanity a chance. I am a humanist, most sacred than secular, but both outlooks must be considered.

If we teach our children that they are sinners and imperfect, and get them to admit it, like a recovering alcoholic must confess and believe that he is an addict, then there is a strong chance that most of them will make it, able to lead a happy, good life.

Here is how the kids can be saved.

1. Girls and boys must dedicate their lives the the Higher Power, no matter which good deity they worship.

2. They must learn self-control, to act classy and courteous towards everyone, including themselves. They are to live by the Golden Rule: love the self and be kind to the self first, and then reach out and love all others, and treat them with kindness. This attitude of kindness and care even applies to nature and the animals underneath our stewardship.

3. They are to embrace liberty. The Mother and the Father command them to live as angels on earth. In this capacity, they tyrannize none, and will resist, to the death if need be, any attempt by anyone, anywhere to tyrannize them. It is their God-given duty to refuse to be enslaved, unconditionally.

4. Children are commanded by God to build a high civilization that we savage, foolish, wicked, backwards and unprepared parents just could not get done.

5. God commands children to leave groups and cliques behind, to separate themselves, live apart and spend their lives as maverizers/self-actualizers. Some group and social outlets of course must be kept, but they are of second tier emphasis.

6. Children cannot grow from being beasts into angels unless they live in cantons or counties like the Swiss do. Local level government, overlaid by a thin layer of federalism is the political ticket. As maverizing, lawful anarchists, Mavellonialism is well underway.

7. Children need to understand that institutions, of all types, convert humans into beasts, or keep them stunted as beasts. The angel in each cannot come to the fore and blossom unless institutions are pared down, and group-living is substantially reduced.

  1. Yes, one cannot be a conservative Unitarian-Universalist without appreciating the great intellectual contributions made by scientists and philosophers to theology. To believe is what makes us linked to and able to partake of the immortal world, but reason and philosophy inform the mind of the faithful so that their philosophical depth allows them to move towards a mature innocence, the spiritual and psychic state opening them to read God;s mind.
