The Universe Spirit is built upon the Foundation of Providing the Three Great Knowledges of Life and Spirit, which are:
Know yourself and the world in the Now:
1.) This is the knowledge of an ever changing now, which is continuously emerging. One obtains this knowledge from learning how to hold a keen moment-to-moment conscious awareness of one’s internal and surface self-interacting with one’s current environment. This is the moment-to-moment micro map of your life. It is the map of how you are acting (both internally and externally,) and then reacting (adapting both internally and externally,) to your ever-changing present environment. This critical knowledge of the NOW comes from developing the skills and habits that increase or maintain both the degree and depth of conscious internal and surface self awareness and environmental awareness that one is able to hold in each new moment.
Know yourself and the world in and through exchange with others:
2.) This is both general life and key work/job skills related knowledge. It includes how to create one’s day-to-day physical livelihood, maintain functional personal and social related relationships and how to physically survive and thrive. This general knowledge is best utilized when one is also discovering and developing their innate natural potentials, talents and proclivities. This type of knowledge focuses upon the minimal practical life and job related job, personal and social skills that are readily exchangeable with the outside world for one’s day-to-day physical livelihood and survival. And,
Know yourself and the world though knowing the directionality of progressive evolution in the Universe, and your essential nature within it:
3.) This in the knowledge that is known as universal knowledge. This knowledge presents the big perspective, big history and holistic systems macro map of all life and the universe in which we exist. This knowledge includes:
a.) The deep universal probability truths about the origin, nature, laws and progressive evolutionary directions of the universe and the processes of Life itself when seen as a whole and from a total holistic system 13.7 billion year perspective ---what is now being called the New Universe Worldview.b.) The universal knowledge concerning one's true core nature or higher (non-surface,) self. (For those so inclined, this can also venture into the areas of knowledge found within humanity's vast heritage of life affirming and progressive evolution-congruent spiritual wisdom from the last 10,000 years.
When you know the above deep universal truths you can better align your current individual micro life course and directional goals with the macro timeless truths and the unstoppable progressive evolutionary directional flow of life in the universe as a whole system and totality. If you do not align your micro course with the macro map it is doubtful you will life well in any sustainable or meaningful sense. Also, when you fully integrate the knowledge that comes from knowledge of the macro universe directionality with the awareness of your true nature or highest self, and with the knowledge that continuously emerges from the NOW awareness of your surface self, you are far better able to make the wisest continuous map course corrections, adaptations and adjustments needed to both stay on your most, efficient, successful and meaningful micro life course.
(This third great knowledge is also call the Great Universal Grounding because it grounds us in the biggest common frame of objective and commonly testable reality in which our other frames of reality are sub-frames i.e. planet, nation, city, home are sub-frames of the universe. The natural laws of the universe will always apply to these subframes but the humanly constructed laws of the subframes may not necessarily apply to the larger frames. The objective Universe natural system laws ground us all even if we deny their reality. Here is why this primary grounding in objective reality is so important:
The New Universe Worldview orders the three main perspectives of reality by placing an initial learning and evaluation importance upon the outer objective, "it realities" of science. This is due to the capabilities of the outer objective, "it realities" of science to rationally ground and balance the other two subjective I and inter-subjective we perspectives of reality. The outer objective, "it realities" of science also create a vitally important common and shared reality that is testable and verifiable by any rational member of the group. Having such common and shared objective rational realities is critical to establish the common rational agreements that allow for and expand the human cooperation at greater scales that is now essential to our planetary survival.Because the New Universe Worldview gives the outer objective, "it realities" of science a learning and evaluation initial priority does not mean that the other two subjective I and inter-subjective we perspectives of reality are ignored or devalued. In fact, quite the opposite is true.
The New Universe Worldview starts with and puts an un-apologetic weighting toward grounding in the factual probabilities of the outer objective, "it realities" of science. After that has been achieved it then encourages the individual and groups in non-prejudicial ways to explore the subjective I and inter-subjective we perspectives. It does this to help find, interpret and expand the personal meanings of the fact probabilities discovered by science or to explore whole new possibilities. The New Universe Worldview reunites objective facts and subjective and inter-subjective personal meanings in a new order and weighting that will more effectively support the increasing cooperation at great scale of progressive evolution. This also forwards in a practical way the planetary goal of a sustainable prosperity for all.
A key factor to keep in mind in this process is that while individuals and groups are encouraged in non-prejudicial ways to explore the subjective I and inter-subjective we perspectives for new personal meanings for the fact probabilities of science (or for whole new creative possibilities for the future,) it does not mean that inner personal subjective or inter-subjective meanings should ever be treated as the common and shared fact probabilities of science without those meanings going through the vigorous testing and verification processes of science. When subjective personal meanings or opinions are treated as objective science probabilities within a society and then used to make common and shared decisions negating the actual objective science probabilities related to that situation eventual destruction or chaos is the near certain outcome.
In summary, the great universe grounding in objective universe science allows all of our cultural, national, religious, ethnic, racial and gender sub-systems to finally come into a working alignment where the better agreements are possible between the various members of these sub-systems. This then better allows the necessary resources and structures to flow to the current planetary challenges that we currently face on every level, economic, environmental, social, political and religious.
According to the greatest minds of history if you do posses the three essential and critical minimal areas of knowledge (emerging NOW internal and external knowledge, practical "how to and what to do" life and job skills knowledge and universal knowledge,) your life will be considerably more successful, meaningful and happy, and --- probably far less unnecessarily turbulent than those who do not possess these three forms of critical knowledge and life education! According to these same great minds, ANY educational system that claims to prepare their students for meaningful success and happiness in life from "the best that has ever been said or written" has to have significant portions of their curriculum and classes built around each and every one of these three critical life knowledge areas.
The Three Great Knowldeges of life and Spirit inform Our Three Great Adventures of Life and Spirit which are:
1.) First Things First! Save the Planetary Playing Field: The First Great adventure is to learn more about how to live a sustainable lifestyle, to educate others on the changes needed to avert a planetary environmental crisis and then to insure that these needed changes are enacted individually and in communities to allow the survival of the planet’s bio-systems for our future and for future generations. This also includes committing to live as an evolutionary partner better aligned with progressive directionality of universe evolution and to work toward creating a sustainable prosperity for all.
This means acting locally guided by a sense of co-responsibility for the universe as a whole! This is because it will take a universe-informed perspective and a new universe evolution based whole systems co-responsibility to solve the current critical challenges of the planet. The current planetary consciousness, perspectives and responsibility levels that created our current challenges are simply to small to be effective.
This is the first adventure of Universe Spirit because it REALLY, is everybody's Job 1. Without managing this area NOW --- the adventure of life on this planet could be so radically worsened that everything else worthwhile in life could be severely retrograded or destroyed for generations to come.
2.) Increase Personal Awareness and Growth: The Second Great Adventure is to freely choose to continue releasing your fullest potentials in order that you become more fully NOW aware of your self (motivations, thoughts, emotions and actions,) your environment and the universe. Then using that increasing NOW internal and external awareness you progressively evolve and realize your full potentials. Here you can also subjectively explore the adventures of Ultimate Reality. Here you turn time-tested wisdom from all sources into effective real life practice resulting in an abundance of meaningful benefits, but at the minimum you are able to better live the virtues in a balanced way, which is simply to personally commit to and then live in delight, non-deficiency, justice, love, compassion, sustainable prosperity and empowerment!
3.) Increase Personal Service and Responsibility: The third Great Adventure is to balance the pursuit of one’s own sustainable prosperity with effective, and life-affirming service to the expanding spheres of communities, groups wholes and unions in which one exists. (The expanding spheres of community are family, group/tribe, company, nation, humanity, the planet [with all Earth species,] and the universe etc.)
The Realization of Three Great Knowledges and Three Great Adventures are supported by the Seven Great Practices
1.) holding a continual aware loving union with your favorite and most empowering conception of the highest Essence of Ultimate Reality, others and yourself!
2.) maintaining present moment attentiveness to finding the truth, beauty, goodness and very Presence of Ultimate Reality and the spirit of life unfolding in each moment and, in all things in the physical universe. This specifically is a keen moment-to-moment conscious awareness of one’s internal and surface self-interacting with one’s current environment. This is a regular awareness of how you are acting (both internally and externally,) and then reacting (adapting both internally and externally,) to your ever-changing present environment.
3.) learning more about the nature, states, qualities, and purposes of both the physical universe and the Ultimate Reality that connects us all within the physical universe. Learning about the social skills necessary for how to have healthy relationships. Learning how to release your full potentials. Learning the life job skills necessary to have a sustainable prosperity.
(One would learn about the physical universe by studying the current cosmological science and the science of progressive universe evolution. This would also include learning and practicing the universe principals of progressive evolution. One would learn more about Ultimate Reality in both its personal or impersonal forms using all of the life affirming wisdom from the life-affirming spiritual heritage of humankind as well as the best of the science-informed new universe worldview and humanism as they deal all with Ultimate Reality, the physical universe life and our relationships to them and each other.)
4.) creating a comprehensive sustainable and appropriate "right livelihood" and lifestyle in harmony with the progressive directionality of evolution and its New Universe Principles and, holding a active stewardship for all of earth's eco systems! At the current time due to the environmental crisis and potential biocide that both we and all future generations will face, there is probably no greater more current, more relevant and embodied Great Work and daily spiritual practice than that of learning and following the practical steps of living sustainably and actively stewarding the Earth's eco-systems for ourselves and future generations.
5.) ongoing informed and wise decision making that effectively supports your partnership with Ultimate Reality, others and progressive evolution in the universe. These are decisions that serve and contribute to the needs of others and life in balance with caring for your own needs,
6.) living a daily personal life that authentically demonstrates alignment to progressive evolution and loving others and being compassionate as well as being conscious of the highest spiritual self, dignity and true identity of others in relation to Ultimate Reality, And
7.) building a super-supportive community and culture that supports individual members of the movement in living a life of affirming, balanced and sharing authentic relationships and growing unions that reflect alignment with progressive evolution, and increasing the truth, beauty and goodness in the world in the areas of family, marriage, team, group, community, company, nation, planet and universe.
(Authentic relationship is a place where people share their experiences at a heart to heart level and help each other in reciprocal ways. It is a place where they can get completely honest about who they actually are and what is going on in their lives. It is a space where they can reveal their feelings, hurts, doubts, fears, and weaknesses as well as find mercy, be forgiven and ask for help. It is a space where acceptance and allowances are made for their imperfections. It is the initial place of willingness truth and healing where everything is first embraced and fully accepted as it actually is without resistance, shame, guilt, denial or judgment!)

All of the above creates the Great Realignment
For the Great Alignment see Here
The Great Purpose of the Universe Spirit Movement is:
To educate and support alignment with the progressive evolution of life and spirit, which births a new civilization of sustainable prosperity and a meaningful quality of life for all!
The Universe Spirit movement is a contributor to a neo-enlightenment and neo-renaissance of science, consciousness, culture, art, life and spirit. As an individual and collective movement it uses the scientifically provable patterns, principles and practices of the universe itself.
It is in and through a universe progressive evolution-aligned service and practice that Universe Spirit movement members as universe citizens grow and share the joys of life and spirit while continuing to explore the greatest adventure of all universe discovery --- the ongoing exploration of Ultimate Reality (however you might define it.)
