The Parallel Community

Our Aims

This is a summary of our aims:

1. To inaugurate a 'parallel community' programme with which people who are concerned about current global thinking on all levels can identify, and through which they can make their own positive contribution towards creating solutions.
2. To establish that we as human beings have the absolute right to live in peace, not only with our neighbours but with everyone on this Earth. We hereby formally claim that right.
3. To re-establish our natural rapport with all other beings on the planet and in the cosmos.
4. To acknowledge our collective responsibility to care for, have compassion for and love our fellow humans, recognising that while we have amongst us a plethora of beliefs and ways, we must respect these differences and move beyond them, to what unifies us. The biggest tribe around here is humanity as a whole.
5. Millions of people in small groups feel exactly as we do, and at the moment there is no effective platform to express our collective distress. So we're using modern technology to bring our aims to the notice of all such people so that we can perhaps combine to make our voices heard and to sing together.
6. To present a non-confrontational alternative to the decision-making systems currently destroying our quality of life and ultimately our precious planet.
7. To establish that political decisions at any level based on war and killing fellow humans as a solution to global and local problems are no longer acceptable in the 21st Century. We cannot change the nature of warmongers and must have compassion for them as degenerates, but we need not and will not blindly accept their destructive decisions as we have done for generations.
8. To start in a small way in our own communities with the simple gestures of a smile and a helping hand for anyone we feel might need a lift.
9. To rebuild honest communications systems independent of 'spin'. Discussion, yes, argument and perpetual disagreement, no.
10. To provide a tangible message of hope for people who have lost their identity, their sense of wonder at the marvels of nature, and their ability to laugh in the pure enjoyment of living.
11. To establish a website and network so that people can join the Parallel Community.
12. To use the massive energy available in human hearts and minds to make a difference to our future.
