Ethosolution
Ethosolution Defined: An idea, organization, or cause founded upon guiding principles and ideals universally accepted as creating a better world: integrity, honesty, humanitarianism, love, compassion, cooperation, sustainability, kindness, philanthropy, etc. Anything generally accepted as being a solution to common problems of our day with a positive effect on the whole of humanity.
CREATING AN ETHOSOLUTION
When creating One Community we were looking for a unique term to describe the growing movement of organizations and ideas purposed for the ethical evolution of our species, global happiness, sovereignism, and peace. The term “ethos” is a Greek word that denotes the guiding beliefs or ideals that characterize a community, nation, or ideology. A “solution” is both a method for solving a problem AND a homogeneous, or perfectly blended mixture, of two or more substances.
With One Community the two “substances” are the innate goodness of humanity combined with the endless ingenuity of the human spirit. It is the genetic human predisposition towards kindness, compassion, love, and cooperation combined seamlessly with our creativity, desire for a better life for all, and constant commitment to growing and improving as individuals and as a group.
PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP
People are collectively waking up to the possibility of co-existence beyond just peace; actively moving towards true communion and co-creation of planetary abundance and happiness. Starting first as individuals willing to let go of our judgments, greed, selfishness, and need to be right; we’re progressing forward as a group-consciousness dedicated to living a life of gratitude and appreciation for the diversity that is the human experience and contributing to the forward movement of our species.
Concepts like sustainable energy, non-genetically modified food, food grown without the use of poisons, and intentional living used to be considered fringe aspects of only a small segment of society. Now we find humanity as a whole recognizing the unhealthy cost cutting methods of corporations and understanding individuals working against the aforementioned concepts as ultimately misinformed, uninformed or disillusioned by money driven industries clinging to old paradigms of financial gain over human welfare.
THE NEW PARADIGM
Enter ethosolutions: organizations, causes, and movements of people founded on simple principles everyone but the most indoctrinated corporate-mind can agree upon as simply making sense for health and life. Such groups and ideas are focused on saving lives, increasing happiness, resolving conflict peacefully, sustainability, cooperation, collaboration, and making a difference. This is who we really areas humans and more and more of us are remembering this every day.
It is interesting that the original use of “ethos” by the Greeks was to refer to the power of MUSIC to influence the listener’s emotions, behaviors, and even morals while contemporary philosophy and intentional living circles emphasize living life as a song and stilling the mind through listening to the “music of existence” happening constantly around us. Just as all the notes of a song combine together to create something unique and more beautiful than its individual parts, so too do the diversity of unique perspectives, lifestyles, opinions, and experiences of human coexistence. This is the foundational philosophy of One Community: co-create the music of happiness by appreciating the individual song each of us sings as our gift to the world.
MOVING FORWARD
It is not just possible but IMPERATIVE that we, as a collective consciousness, continue to wake up to the reality of our situation here on planet Earth, and what we are capable of; finally letting go of old world views and paradigms of separation, competition, and entitlement. This is what One Community is all about, and the direction that we as a species are moving towards anyway. Never in the history of the world has it been so easy to communicate, collaborate, and come together as a people to create a culture of change and demonstrate our true potential and One Community is reaching out and partnering with every ethosolution we identify to do just that.
