Living in Right Relationship with Reality
Living in Right Relationship with Reality is that we learn to live together as a society so that we can continue to exist and Evolve forward and Stay in the Game. If we don't live in right relationship with reality then we will become extinct or Left behind.

Living in right relationship to reality is a commitment of humanity to stay on the path that got us here in the first place. That path is that we continue to evolve forward so that we continue to exist. To continue to exist is our Root Axiom.

Life is a struggle between evolution and extinction. The reason we exist is because our ancestors lived in right relationship to reality. Most species become extinct. Some evolve into better versions of life. Some species were just dead ends. We are the decedents of those who got it right so far. Those who lived in right relationship with reality.

There is nothing in the universe that guarantees that we will continue to exist. When the next super volcano occurs or a big asteroid hits that we didn't see coming or a local star goes supernova, we could be wiped out. In the long run something like that will happen. Thus if humans are going to be around for the long run we are going to have to move out into space and find other planets to colonize. In order to do that we are going to have to figure out who we are, how we got here, what our purpose for existence is, and how we are going to survive.

We are developing the technology to determine what we are going to evolve into. We will soon be able to modify our genetics and to add mechanical technology to our bodies. We have to start thinking now about what we are going to evolve into and it is definitely not too early to start thinking about it. One thing for sure - what we will become is not what we are now. We will either be vastly superior or we will be gone. It is up to us to bring ourselves in right relationship with reality so that in the future when we look back at what we are doing today that we feel good about having made the right choices.
