Overview of the Journey Toward Humanity
Your basic need, my basic need, everyone’s basic need is the same: to maximize positive experience and minimize negative experience, physically, mentally and emotionally. The eCourses on TowardHumanity.org are designed to provide you with the knowledge and tools to accomplish that in your life. And they’re all free.
You will receive powerful knowledge for eliminating the root causes of destructive stress, conflict, self-blame and guilt. You will also learn to create cooperative relations, instead of conflict, with others.
You will be shown a simple, easy to understand, science based model of human decision making. It is not about the physiological activities in the brain. It is about focusing your awareness on the concepts, ideas and beliefs that have been programmed into your mental computer (your brain), checking those concepts for their validity, and replacing destructive false concepts with observable realities.
Our premise is that the incidence of both individual and societal problems will decrease to the extent that individuals are educated on how and why human beings make the decisions they do. Many of you who already are doing excellent work helping others will receive additional knowledge that will further enhance your effectiveness in making a difference in the world.
