About the Massive Updating and Knowledge Transfer Still Taking Place From this Our Old Universe Spirit Website to Our New Universe Spirit Way of the Universe Website.
This description of the Way of the Universe is designed to show how the Universe Spirit nonprofit organization is evolving. We are far from done with this evolution. The Way of the Universe philosophy is a new philosophy born in the 21st century to help address 21st-century problems. It is our new name for many, but not all, of the objectives we pursued on our old UniverseSpirit.org website over the last 24 years.
This new name for what we are teaching better reflects our efforts to develop a universal, rational, and practical philosophy. This name also helps distinguish us from the many negative associations that come from appearing anything like a traditional religion, a new-age spirituality, or even from our own decades of efforts to create a universal meta-spirituality that would unite humanity.
It may take at least another 6-12 months to transfer and upgrade 24 years of work (about 1,000 pages) from our old Universe Spirit website to this new one. During this massive transfer process, every page is under review, in construction, and being updated. We need to fix broken links, add new insights, remove outdated materials that no longer align with our philosophy-based approach, update language, and revise grammar and spelling to bring our older materials up to date and align with our new Way of the Universe philosophical framing.
Some links on this site will still point to our old website during construction until we complete the large-scale transfer. If the home page of our old site displays a random error message and you can't view the entire site, click the refresh button; the old site will appear. To return to our new website from the old one, click the Back button or the Way of the Universe link at the top of the old home page. (The disappearing old website bug is very random, and we're still working on finding the cause and fixing it.)
If you see this image in the book sections of our old site, it means most likely the pages below have not yet been updated and transferred to our new site. If you click the under-construction image above, it will also take you to our new website.
The copy below in this book is still only on our old website!
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has,” said Margaret Mead.
We believe she was right; that those who care and use an open-source approach are the ones who will change the world. We hold that having balanced, safe, and science grounded open-source personal spirituality practices can not only enhance one’s life and one's connection to others, it can also evolve the world dramatically for the better.
Here at the Universe Spirit, we’ve compiled a great deal of information about the spiritual and religious traditions of the world. And in the spirit of the new open-source personalized spirituality described in detail on the links at the bottom of each page, we urge you to take the best of what you find of our spiritual traditions and adapt it as you see fit using the following open-source spirituality principles.
Once you have learned more about open source spirituality principles, please share them with your current spiritual community and team up with us to transform this world into a better place for everyone.
