We are currently witnessing the unfettered and unapologetic violence of institutions and systems that create oppressive artificial sacristy, genocidal nationalist ideologies, cults of individuality that smother the light of interconnectedness, and a faux secularism that renders the earth and all life as commodities easily disposed of and replaced.
The illusions of normality projected by these antiquated systems of oppression have only recently been broken by the reality that the earth and all life are in a death spiral.
The death knell is a time of awakening from all illusions that create violence and suffering as a means of capturing the collective emancipatory freedom dreams of the multitudes.
In this moment of awakening we are called to abandon all oppressive systems of power, so that we may free the capacity of our collective dreams to create modern realities of new political and economic spaces that are grounded in a radical Soul Love that recognizes the interconnectedness of all.
The Crisis
Total cost for Carbon Renewal and Green
New Deal-like programs $120+ Trillion between now and 2030.
Total amount of money in the world
created by debt-based economic systems = $90 Trillion.
In this crisis, we face interlocking systems of oppression and exploitation threatening all life and the planet. The interconnected crises—environmental degradation, economic inequality, social injustice—demand a radical reimagining of our future.
Interconnected crises: Environmental destruction driven by greed fuels climate change and pollution. Free-market capitalism creates artificial economic inequality, resulting in vast wealth disparities. Systemic discrimination leads to social injustice, marginalizing vulnerable communities. These crises are directly related to the failures of free market capitalism and scientific materialism, which reduce all phenomena to physical processes. This worldview prioritizes profit over people and the planet, leading to the commodification of nature and the exploitation of labor, thereby fostering a culture of artificial scarcity and fear.
We must confront the existential void created by the failures of free market capitalism and scientific materialism. The pursuit of material wealth and technology has stripped life of meaning, leaving us disconnected in a world of consumerism. To fix this, we need to value compassion, sustainability, and justice over exploitation. We must prioritize consciousness and interconnectedness. By reimagining our purpose and fostering a culture of abundance and love, we can heal and create a future where all can thrive.
The Beloved Community License
To bring about cultural change and a system shift, a set of principles for all institutions and people operating on the Sojourner platform is required. This set of principles is called the “Beloved Community License” (BCL).
The Beloved Community License is a non-violent software, hardware, and product license based an understanding and recognition of Dr.Martin Luther King’s “Beloved Community” and a social activism that pursues a future of peace, love, and purpose for all.
The BCL serves as the foundation for a new relationship between technology and society. It ensures that communities demand ethical and non-violent practices from the technologies and businesses they engage with
