pulchra es, amica mea = you are beautiful, my beloved
— Song of Solomon
Kind friends,
We live today in a world far beyond what our ancestors would consider magic - a world now of GPS and jet planes, computers and DNA. Our ancestors’ stoneage worldview from thousands of years ago - gods and angels, demons and unicorns, is no longer meaningful to many of us.
Sometime ago,
friends dissatisfied with society's religions asked me to help them build a new worldview.
By surveying the science of the last 500 years, since Columbus sailed,
and combining our experiences - from scientist and priest to atheist and musician,
We found that the meaning of life was not a secret hidden somewhere, but lies inside each of us.
The meaning comes from you, only you.
Only you can assign the meaning of your life.

And now, as I promised so long ago, here begins our story - the story of the humans:
Beginning in:
<<< Kenya 1,500,000 BC
——
Reaching today:
Moon 1969 AD >>>
Come, my friends, ’Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Come, my friends,
’Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and tho’
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
— Tennyson. . .
