Perform a Random Act of “Civos”-- On a New Civilization

A Diverse society would be the new civilization in embryo. We would be creating new philosophical concepts, new psychological methods, new spirituality, new social work and activism, new economics, new government and new planetary relations. We would be building up new lifestyles, new institutions, new behaviors, methods and practices. We would be experimenting and testing, promoting successes and prototypes. We would learn through our direct practices in social life, in psychology, the spiritual, business, economics, governing and world relations.

With our radically different views, we would be creating a new civilization that would eventually replace the cultures of suffering that now dominate. The good soul does not shy away from her or his message, they announce to the planet their goals, and welcome all who wish to join in this great Human project.

"Civos" is the act of civilizing. Diverse thinkers make "Civos", that is their historical mission. We don’t think so much in terms of “revolution” or “reform”, these are modes or styles of change, instead we think in terms of “civilizing”. The important issue is whether the reform or revolution is civilizing, if not, it has no point.

Perform a “random act of Civos”, and make your personal contribution to a new world.

How will a new culture grow? Bit by bit over time. It will progress institution by institution, value by value, ethic by ethic. At a certain point new ideas will dominate, because diversity, ex-suffering and Genio are the historical forces of our age. They are irresistible ideas that all people are drawn to.

When will we prevail? It is hard to say; perhaps it will happen quietly and naturally. Perhaps, there will be very radical periods. But we don't worry about the details of the specific event or events; we focus on building up the new world. Our Civos will take care of itself, the strategy and tactics will be self evident, we need no mystical signs. At some point, in some way, our new world will replace the old world.

We grow in society, in culture, in the hearts and minds of individuals. Eventually, the majority support new ideals, a consensus is reached. We do not see the change coming as “political revolution” for politics only registers the fact of our influence, it is effect not cause. And change can never be from the top, it must come from the people, in their daily lives. The “revolution” is thus not political at all. It comes from a restructuring of our lives that forces a restructuring of government.
