Mavellonialism is the term I coined perhaps in the 1990s. I selected this word to represent my ethical, theological, and philosophical approach to living well.
It is a unified combination of two common words. The first word is maverick, and the second word is colonialism.
I define a maverick is any self-realizing adult individual who is actualizing her potential, and she is developing into a living angel. She routinely sacrifices or delays fulfilling her short-term, hedonistic desires and wants, focusing instead upon completing her ideal end, to live as the woman whom God wants her to be, and once she comprehends what is her enlightened self-interest, she will get after it for the remainder of her life while here.
She lives in God’s image and likeness as a mini-creator of cosmos, as a creative individual working seriously to grow God’s kingdom on earth.
Mavellonialism describes my ambition to see societies dominated by a majority of their citizens, who live purposed, rewarding lives, self-transforming lives as individuators.
I envision a world colonized and reformed by millions of such operating individuators supercitizens.
This is in no way like the negative sense of colonizing the world by expanding through violence and invasion, the growth of an illegitimate empire whose sole purpose is to conquer and enslave others and exploit their power and resources.
To colonize the world with mavericks is to colonize in a positive, loving light: this is my suggestion peacefully offered to persuade individual nonindividuators, as enlightened mavericks, to join God’s cause, and to grow God’s kingdom, one person at a time.
Her participation must be strictly voluntary, and, if she says yes, her individuating will grow God’s kingdom on earth.
