Diverse Philosophy -- One simple idea with many, many applications

The central concept of our time is the "Diverse", a general idea that unites diversity, plurality, change, variety, difference, creativity and evolution into one collection of ideas. It is a very specific notion as to how the cosmos, Nature and Humanity behave. The Diverse idea is applied to many fields – psychology to economics to spirituality to communications. The Human Diverse is both outer and inner; it is vast and dynamic.

The Diverse arises in this present age, in the third millennium. All of its major themes are present. They are being pulled together into self-consciousness.

The old age which suppressed Diverse thought is now gone. A new age is here that no longer opposes the forces of the Diverse. In fact, it fuels the Diverse in every field of thought and activity. The Diverse is a force, spirit, and life of all things; it is manifested in all.

Difference and Differentiation are the key themes and forces of the Cosmos and Human beings. When difference and differentiation are applied to specific human issues and problems we get this long list:

Diversity

Individuality

Freedom for the Individual

Creativity

Multiple Perception

Self Identity

Personal Mythology

The management of a Complex Life

Multiple Emotions and their management

Multiple Minds and their management

Self Creativity and Self Development

The Golden Rule, treat others as you would have them treat you

Lakape, love of the different

Two Spirits, one of differentiation, one of the whole

The Entemple, the personal temple within

Equality of All People

Freedom for All People

You as a Self-Conscious Diverse

Range Thinking as specific methods of diverse thinking

Directness, the path of direct knowledge, direct participation, direct control

An Empiric, one who seeks the direct experience of life

Communication as the fundamental link in a Social Diverse

Moments and Continuity, living in the break up of time and its reconnection

The ending of Simultry, the oppression of those at earlier stages of development

And more:

Direct Democracy, the whole social diverse being run the whole social diverse

A Diverse and Metric Economy of many values and measures

A Multi-Centered planet of peace, respect and cooperation

An education system that produces a diverse and whole human being

A family that is not disconnected from the community -- the new extended family

Entertainment that teaches diversity, individuality, creativity and more

Media that communicates and does not de-communicate

New kinds of organizations that support difference, change and creativity

The Social Individual – the individual who is also compassionate, moral and active

A culture of Multiple Values that is backed up by Multiple Powers

Civilization redefined as difference and diversity itself

Performing an act of Civos – meaning a civilizing act

Social Creativity which unites individuals to achieve the goals of collective projects

Creating the new Forbiddens, breaking with old codes and creating the new morality

The Diverse Social Whole, the whole of all of society in all of its diversity

And About Nature:

Though humans have differentiated themselves from Nature, a fundamental, survival task for today is to create Co-Genio the parallel creative evolutions of Nature and Humankind with the greatest degree of practical harmony

All of these appear as we apply the idea of difference to our lives. We find that many differences must be developed and protected. Also, we learn the need to coordinate the disparate parts into a harmonious whole.
