The premise behind The Life Learning Project is that:
"The survival of human life
on this planet over the next 100 years, and the quality of life for any survivors,
will depend largely on
the decisions made by the individuals who become
leaders over the next 30 years."
The argument goes like this:
-
The more the human race
"advances", the more danger it puts itself in of extinction.
-
There are no
simple answers, no "silver bullets", no
favoured set of principles, no collection of
redeeming moral codes that everyone can adopt, no
single political system that can be imposed universally.
-
Which is not to say that we are
doomed, but that there is no point in trying to construct a
"blueprint" or "plan" to guarantee the survival of humanity.
The problem is far too complex on far too many levels to be
resolvable by a "plan".
-
However, if enough "right"† decisions are consistently made by
people with power and influence (i.e. leaders) across all facets of society, then we
are much more likely to avoid
disaster.

The
Life Learning Project defines and promotes an
holistic / integral learning programme to help
provide our future leaders with the vision, wisdom
and skills they will need to ensure the survival and
evolution of humanity into the 22nd Century.
|
Central to the Project is the idea of a
Life Learning Course. This is the "holistic / integral
learning programme" that the Project will define and promote.
The Project:
-
Has no political agenda
-
Has no religious agenda
-
Has no explicit "issue" agenda (such
as "ecology", "hunger", "peace", "human rights" etc.)
-
Has no financial agenda (other than to
support its activities)
-
Is not owned or controlled by any
other organisation
-
Is influenced by many sources, most
particularly by Integral Philosophy
