for the purpose of advancing a new wisdom, a new education, and a new society. </div> <bR> <div> The <I>new society </I>is a complementary society in which a personal-social transformation is its main

<I><B>Studies In Meaning</B></I>©: which is a critical-creative thinking curriculum from beginning reading through high school, and is to be studied as complementary to students' school curriculum in

complete and proven pedagogically sound both in private afterschools and as an after-school program at four elementary public schools: three of the Los Angeles Unified School District (1990-1993), and one of the Redondo Beach Unified School District (1996-1997). From 1997 to the present (2004) It has been taught at Coushatta High in Coushatta, Louisiana, </div> <div>  Hot Springs High School (alma mater of Bill Clinton), Arkansas, and at 24th Street Elementary School of the Los Angeles Unified Scholl district.  </div> <bR> <div> All administrative forms, a handbook, a charter, the curriculum <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial Narrow" >-- </FONT>Studies In Meaning©, for one <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial Narrow" >-- </FONT>and a pilot program, have prepared the way for the establishment of the <B>Community Educultural Centers</B>. </div> <bR> <div> The <B>human-transcendent wisdom </B>is a work in progress presented in this e-journal in installments of the love and moral enquiries and the book selections in the Bookroom . </div> <bR> <div> Everything is ready to go, so to speak. </div> <div>      </div> <div> With these three benefits working in tandem, we are sure to see in the near future a personal and social transformation, the likes of which have never been witnessed before. This undertaking has been structured upon a philosophical <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial Narrow" >-- </FONT>love of wisdom <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial Narrow" >-- </FONT>groundwork. My wife and I together have built this structure over a period of 21 years (1982-2003);  and prior to 1982, I myself spent 14 years in preparation for the architecture of this structure (1967-1981).</div> <bR> <div> All that is needed are insightful, inspired, and engaged people to make it work "here, there, and everywhere." </div> <div>  </div> <div> It is now our task to convince others of this great urgency in our society, in ourselves as adults, and for children and youth. </div> <div>      </div> <div> This newsmagazine, Transition, is one important means of convincing those of like mind of this urgency; and at the same time, will offer a little something for everyone who is looking "for a better way."</div> <div>      </div> <div> Regarding this "better way," Arthur Miller, the great contemporary playwright, captures succinctly what our grand venture is all about: </div> <div> "The deep moral uneasiness among us, the vast sense of being only </div> <div> tenuously joined to the rest of our fellows, is caused, in my view, by the </div> <div> fact that the person has value as he fits into the pattern of efficiency, and </div> <div> for that alone. To resolve this perilous state of  affairs, [we must] counter </div> <div> the law which says that a failure in society and in business has no right to </div> <div> live with an opposing system based upon love."</div> <bR> <div> Joseph & Sharon                                                           </div> <div> Oct, 2004</div> <div>           </div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>__________________</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>DEPARTMENTS</B></div> <div> Contributors' Editorials</div> <div> Contributors' Writings and Artworks</div> <div>  News Information</div> <div>  services information</div> <div>  calendar of events                    </div> <div>  the Public Benefit's projects update</div> <div>  the Public Benefit's TREASURY update</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>I: Cultural Insights.</B></div> <div>           Society</div> <div>           The sciences</div> <div>           Business /Economics</div> <div>           Education</div> <div>           The arts (in general)</div> <div>           The arts (in particular)     </div> <div>           Psychology</div> <div>           Philosophy</div> <div>           Religion</div> <div>           Humor</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> ______________________________</div> <bR> <div> Greetings,</div> <div> Below is the first edition of our <B>free</B> monthly educultural email-magazine, <I><B>Transition</B></I>. It accompanies the beginning of a focused movement toward a <B>conscious transformation</B> that has been gathering considerable momentum in our times. Those persons who are aware of, and receptive to, this conscious transformation are those of whom I'd like to be in contact.</div> <bR> <div> Briefly, this conscious transformation is an expanding self-understanding that comes through a wisdom that balances our humanness with our transcendence. This wisdom gets to the intellectual and psychological essentials of our humanness in relation to the philosophical and mystical essentials of our transcendence. Both these essentials have their origin in the <I>source</I> of wisdom; namely, <I><B>Love-Meaning</B></I>. Explained simply, Love is <I>what</I> holds everything together, and Meaning is <I>why</I> everything is held together - two aspects of the same Oneness, the same Transcendence, the same God. In essence, Love is the <I>bond</I> of all unity.</div> <bR> <div> As a person expands into this wisdom, that is, attains self-understanding, he-she becomes more aware of, receptive and sensitive to, the truths of human nature and of essential nature - intuition becomes conscious of itself - and accordingly, embarks on the lifetime endeavor, struggle, to live by these truths. </div> <bR> <div> This conscious transformation happens through: </div> <div> <B>1.</B> The contemplation and practice of <B>human-transcendent </B><I><B>wisdom</B></I>.</div> <div> <B>2.</B> An <B>in-depth </B><I><B>education</B></I><B> in critical-creative thinking</B> as a preparation for this human-transcendent wisdom.</div> <div> <B>3.</B> A <I><B>society</B></I><B> of mutual benefits</B> and services through which this human-transcendent wisdom weaves its way from individual to individual, from group to group, from society to society.</div> <div> <B>4.</B> Put together, these three fundamentals of the conscious transformation unify a <B>good will </B><I><B>culture</B></I>.</div> <bR> <div> These fundamentals of this conscious transformation movement is centered in the book, <I>Of Love and Wisdom: Toward Higher Understanding</I> (see <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="http://www.ofwisdom.org" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.ofwisdom.org"><U><U>www.ofwisdom.org</U></U></A></FONT> ), and in the Studies in Meaning critical-creative thinking education (see <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="http://www.studiesinmeaning.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.studiesinmeaning.com"><U><U>www.studiesinmeaning.com</U></U></A></FONT> ). Selections from these two works are included in, and ongoing editions of, this email-magazine. </div> <bR> <div> The purpose of this email-magazine, <I>Transition</I>, is twofold: (1) to broaden one's intellectual and psychological perspectives, and (2) to link people together for a common cause; which is, to promote good will, understanding, and services. Accordingly, its contents reflect this purpose in including varied knowledge and culture topics that will further wisdom and justice.</div> <bR> <div> If you would like to be part of this endeavor, actively or anonymously; by subscribing to this email-newsmagazine, or be deleted from our mailing list, please contact us at <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="mailto:ofwisdom@adelphia.net" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:ofwisdom@adelphia.net"><U><U>ofwisdom@adelphia.net</U></U></A></FONT>. </div> <bR> <div> Sincerely,</div> <div> Joseph & Sharon</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> ============================</div> <bR> <div> December, 2006  /  No 1</div> <bR> <div> <I>TRANSITION   </I><FONT SIZE="7" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Umbra" ><I>      </I></FONT></div> <div> An Educultural EMAIL-Magazine</div> <div> <B>For the Ascendancy of Justice and Wisdom </B></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="739" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP COLSPAN=3 HEIGHT= 75 WIDTH="731"><bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#008080" FACE="Arial Narrow" ><I><B>TRANSITION</B></I></FONT><B> </B>is a monthly educultural email-magazine that links people of good will and of like mind through wisdom and justice.</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 4025 WIDTH="401"><div> <B>FAMOUS PAINTINGS</B></div> <div> <B>Van Gogh -

For without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods; even rich men and those in possession of office and of dominating power are thought to need friends most of all; for what is the use of such prosperity without the opportunity of beneficence, which is exercised chiefly and in its mostl audable form towards friends? Or how can prosperity be guarded and preserved without friends?</div> <div> [2]<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#008000" FACE="Arial Narrow" > </FONT>The greater it is, the more exposed is it to risk. And in poverty and in other misfortunes men think friends are the only refuge. It helps the young, too, to keep from error; it aids older people by ministering to their needs and supplementing the activities that are failing from weakness; those in the prime of life it stimulates to noble actions - 'two going together' - for with friends men are more able both to think and to act. Again, parent seems by nature to feel it for offspring and offspring for parent, not only among men but among birds and among most animals; it is felt mutually by members of the same race, and especially by men, whence we praise lovers of their fellowmen.</div> <div> [3]<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#008000" FACE="Arial Narrow" > </FONT>We may even in our travels observe how near and dear every man is to every other. Friendship seems too to hold states together, and lawgivers to care more for it than for justice; for unanimity seems to be something like friendship, and this they aim at most of all, and expel faction as their worst enemy; and when men are friends they have no need of justice, while when they are just they need friendship as well, and the truest form of justice is thought to be a friendly quality.</div> <div> [4] But it is not only necessary but also noble; for we praise those who love their friends, and it is thought to be a fine thing to have many friends; and again we think it is the same people that are good men and are friends.</div> <div> [5] Not a few things about friendship are matters of debate. Some define it as a kind of likeness and say like people are friends, whence come the sayings 'like to like', 'birds of a feather flock together', and so on; others on the contrary say 'two of a trade never agree'. </div> <div> [6] On this very question they inquire for deeper and more physical causes, Euripides saying that 'parched earth loves the rain, and stately heaven when filled with rain loves to fall to earth', and Heraclitus that 'it is what opposes that helps' and ' from different tones comes the fairest tune' and 'all things are produced through strife'; while Empedocles, as well as others, expresses the opposite view that like aims at like. The physical problems we may leave alone (for they do not belong to the present inquiry); let us examine those which are human and involve character and feeling, e.g. whether friendship can arise between any two people or people cannot be friends if they are wicked, and whether there is one species of friendship or more than one. Those who think there is only one because it admits of degrees have relied on an inadequate indication; for even things different in species admit of degree. We have discussed this matter previously.</div> <div> <B>…</B></div> <div> <B>To be continued next edition</B></div> <bR> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="316"><div> <B>ARTICLE TOPICS</B></div> <div>

EVIL</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>LITERARY AUTHORS</B></div> <div> <B>Churton Collins</B></div> <div> We are no more responsible for the evil thoughts that pass through our minds than a scarecrow for the birds which fly over the seed plot he has to guard. The sole responsibility in each case is to prevent them from settling.</div> <div> <B>D.H. Lawrence</B></div> <div> 1. At the bottom men love the brute in man best, like a great shire stallion makes one's heart beat. </div> <div> 2. Intellectual appreciation does not amount to so much, it's what you thrill to. And if murder, suicide, rape is what you thrill to, and nothing else, then it's your destiny - you can't change it mentally. You live by what you thrill to, and there's the end of it. </div> <div> 3. This is the very worst wickedness, that we refuse to acknowledge the passionate evil that is in us. This makes us secret and rotten.</div> <div> <B>George Bernard Shaw </B></div> <div> 1. When it comes to the point, really bad men are just as rare as really good ones. </div> <div> 2. It is easy - terribly easy - to shake a man's faith in himself. To take advantage of that to break a man's spirit is devil's work. </div> <div> <B>Somerset Maugham</B></div> <div> There is no explanation for evil. It must be looked upon as a necessary part of the order of the universe. To ignore it is childish, to bewail it senseless. </div> <div> <B>Ernest Hemingway</B></div> <div> Some people show evil as a great racehorse shows breeding. They have the dignity of a hard chancre (the initial lesion of syphilis commonly a more or less distinct ulcer or sore with a hard base). </div> <div> <B>Joseph Conrad</B></div> <div> The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness.</div> <div> <B>Charles Dickens</B></div> <div> 1. I have known a vast quantity of nonsense talked about bad men not looking you in the face. Don't trust that conventional idea. Dishonesty will stare honesty out of countenance any day in the week, if there is anything to be got by it. </div> <div> 2.  "I know nothing of philosophical philanthropy. But I know what I have seen, and what I have looked in the face in this world here, where I find myself. And I tell you this, my friend, that there are people (men and women both, unfortunately) who have no good in them--none. That there are people whom it is necessary to detest without compromise. That there are people who must be dealt with as enemies of the human race. That there are people who have no human heart, and who must be crushed like savage beasts and cleared out of the way."</div> <div> George Eliot</div> <div> No evil dooms us hopelessly except the evil we love, and desire to continue in, and make no effort to escape from.</div> <div> <B>Mark Twain </B></div> <div> 1. Barring that natural expression of villainy which we all have, the man looked honest enough. </div> <div> 2. Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.</div> <div> 3. If the desire to kill and the opportunity to kill came always together, who would escape hanging?</div> <div> 4. I have always felt friendly toward Satan. Of course that is ancestral; it must be in the blood, for I could not have originated it.</div> <div> 5.  Man is the only animal that deals in that atrocity of atrocities, War. He is the only one that gathers his brethren about him and goes forth in cold blood and calm pulse to exterminate his kind. He is the only animal that for sordid wages will march out...and help to slaughter strangers of his own species who have done him no harm and with whom he has no quarrel.
