Does the 21st Century Need a New Human Right? An Interview with Dr. Saulius Norvaišas, Author of the Concepts of Collective Intelligence and Omnicracy

Article 21 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that everyone has the right to participate in the government of their country, directly or through freely chosen representatives. If people have a right to participate in governance, should they also have a right to participate in the search for solutions and in the final decisions that affect their lives?

Frank D. Sears, ACIM: A User’s Manual for Humanity

The article presents A Course in Miracles as a possible “user’s manual for humanity” — a guide for recognizing how fear, guilt, judgment, and the belief in separation shape our perception of ourselves and the world. Rather than trying to fix life entirely from the outside, ACIM invites us to look within, question the interpretations that disturb our peace, practice forgiveness, and become willing to “choose again.” Ultimately, the article suggests that the Course is not a manual for making humanity more comfortable within its illusions, but for awakening from them and remembering our deeper identity in love and peace.

Robert D. Sears, The Resistance to True Forgiveness

Forgiveness is easy to admire in theory—and much harder to practice when we feel deeply hurt. In this thoughtful exploration of A Course in Miracles, Robert D. Sears looks beyond conventional ideas of forgiveness and asks what it might mean to release the interpretations, grievances, and identities that keep us bound to pain. His article offers a compassionate reflection on forgiveness not as weakness or denial, but as a path toward inner freedom, peace, and spiritual awakening.

Steve Bhaerman, The Great Upwising: Time to Face the Elephant – and Donkey – in the Living Room

There’s a great awakening afoot, and you won’t hear about it on the news.
The news cannot report it, because the news is beholden to narratives – and ultimately beholden to those who “be holdin’ the purse strings.” Yes, polarization sells, and fear and anger ensure engagement. But there’s a bigger story than that.
