The truth has never been clearer. We're living in a
voracious empire based on people ownership, i.e. subjugating humans to increasing debt servitude to Wall Street and the global banking establishment. This debt system has morphed economics from a study in human progress to an engine of human enslavement. Spirituality ("sense of meaning") and psychology have been crushed as a result. Any sense of a meaningful life has almost been vanquished as the corporate system that serves Wall Street has replaced truth with fake media PR and replaced our communities with narcissistic hierarchy.
The good news is that this system is on its last leg.
It will end. However, we are not prepared to weather the storm and our communities are not equipped to ensure a better system emerges. Our instincts have been trying to tell us this for a long time, but it has felt safer to go along with the fake PR of the corporate/political system pumped through the TV. It's time to have the courage to face the truth. Then we must rebuild our communities with an economic system informed by healthy spirituality and psychology rather than one specifically designed to crush them.
To help facilitate this type of renewal and avoid chaos or tyranny in the coming decline of the empire, CSPER recognizes the need for a new Enlightenment to recover our humanity and break the monolithic monetary monopoly that controls everything. Details on this are discussed in the introductory course to CSPER, Renaissance 2.0.
