1)   Our job is to wake people up  --  to kick butt  --  to "shake the tree"  --  to "upset the apple cart" --  to "spill the beans"  --  to demonstrate that  life is not what we've been led to believe it is by those who claim to know! ²    If we don't push any of your buttons, we haven't done our job.   

2)   Almost every major change on the planet has come from people who were considered, eccentric, outsiders, "on the edge," ²   or even trouble makers or crazy people. 

3)   In an insane society a sane person would be considered crazy.   Any judgment of someone else  is simply a matter of perspective.   Because everybody considers his/her perspective to be normal, it's always the other guy who is deviant and strange.   The bottom line is that nobody is wrong.   Everybody is right, but only partially right.   The missing pieces commonly lead people to draw erroneous conclusions. ²    The inaccurate conclusion, in turn,  often precipitate some very dysfunctional behaviors.

4)   Even though you're certain that you're right, you just might be wrong.   Have you ever been wrong?   While you were being wrong, did you know that you were being wrong?   Is it possible that you are wrong about something right now?  

5)   We've spent years studying and creating the projects, the proposals, and the concepts presented on TLC-Life-Center's  (fifty+) websites.   You can't expect to understand all of it without considerable study.   

6)   Even if some of what we have to offer on the TLC-Life-Center's Family of Websites is wrong, ignoring the majority of it, which is correct, could be a very costly oversight on your part.

7)   If you pass judgment on us based on what you believe and/or on reading only what you agree with, and/or on instructions not to read or listen to anything that is contrary to your religion, then you're stuck in a dysfunctional belief system.    

8)   If you believe that you already know all there is to know about any of the topics discussed on our websites, then you're the one who's crazy.    

9)    Society is on a fast track to political, economic, social, religious, and environmental disaster.   If you don't wake up, now, you could wind up facing considerable grief and misery.   Your complacency could even cost you your life. 

10)  You have been and still are making critical, irreversible life-altering decisions  based on false, incomplete, and/or intentionally deceptive information.   To see some easy-to-understand example of this, readers are directed to the page titled:    Some Alternate Perspectives ²  and the page titled:  The Rapture. ²

11)  Our job is to expose readers to ideas,  proposals, and possibilities that are new to most people --  to examine the status quo in the light of any new information available --  to show that there's much in the universe that is as yet, still unknown --  and to allow those who choose not to listen to remain as they are.

What Used to Work Is No Longer Working:

All you have to do to know this is true is to look around you.   Notice  the shape humanity is in and the condition of spaceship Earth.      Most humans are living miserable lives at the survival level.   Collectively we have altered our Earthly environment to the degree that to continue our present, collective  behavior is guaranteed disaster.  We have two choices,  change or die.   And if you believe that the religiously inspired fairytale called The Rapture  is going to save you, you are in for a deep shock and a rude awakening.   Consider this website as  your wakeup call.

Welcome to the Cosmic Titanic:

Whether you choose to admit it or not, we live in  very dysfunctional,  political, religious, social, environmental, and economic structures.   The vast majority of our collective human behaviors are not sustainable.   Behaviors such as unbridled population growth, wanton environmental destruction, indiscriminate pollution, et cetera,  are leading us down the pathway to a massive and rather sudden population reduction.   

On a global level, we are all riding a Cosmic version of the Titanic.  Symbolically speaking, we are traveling at full speed, in the dark, in iceberg-filled waters, with the captain and all  the officers asleep in their cozy little cabins of illusion.   And what have they inspired us to do while they sleep?   Spend our time and energy fighting over the deck chairs.   Why do we fight instead of cooperate?   Because most of us live our lives as mindless sheep, simply following  someone else's instructions.   

We Have Two Choices:

Using another analogy to demonstrate common human behavior, most people play life in one of two modalities.   Some people play life the same way football players play football -- constantly at odds with those who are not on their side, fighting in an endless win/lose war, while glorifying and making heroes of the most aggressive and the most violent.   In this modality, winning is never enough.   The same war must be fought over and over again, time after time, season after season, year after year, in an endless recycling of yesterday.    

This modality is a zero-sum approach to life.   Every time someone wins, someone else loses.  

As an alternative, some people play life the way members of an orchestra play music.²   The goal of each orchestra member is to function in mutual cooperation with every other member and create of a product that benefits everyone.  In the case of an orchestra, the product is beautiful music which can be a blessing for a hundred people or a hundred million people.   Regardless of how many people hear the music, there is no significant difference or cost to those in the orchestra, itself.   There are no losers.    Which way are you playing?

Denial is no longer an option.

Survival dictates that we think and act  "outside-the-box" of conventional behavior.   We cannot  solve our collective, social problems with either "More of the Same"  or  "The Same Thing Harder."     A new, mutually cooperative  approaches to our collective social problems is required, and the sooner we wake up to this,  the less painful the transition will be.  

A New Approach:

Not only is  religion a button pushers paradise, it's also  con artist's heaven.  See the page titled:   The Rapture ²  and the page titled:   Finding Wolves in Sheep's Clothing.
