PROUT - input for the Blueprint for new society?

I experience that we must recreate the systems of organizing ourselves, our economy, and our relationship with Nature. The old system has design flaws and many are saying that signs of its demise are evident.

The question of how long the current economic, political, societal, cultural system will last - or whether or not it is even is in jeopardy, is secondary to the imperative for us to EVOLVE from where we are to optimize the current operating system of our civilization.

PROUT Institute offers some very compelling ideas:

"Mission Statement
The PROUT Institute works to bring new life and a bright future to humanity by applying progressive social theory and concepts - and those of the Progressive Utilization Theory (PROUT) in particular - that provide deep solutions to social problems and give holistic expression to human potentialities.

PROUT's Fundamental Premise
PROUT is based on the fundamental premise that all people should have equitable scope to develop and express their physical, mental, and spiritual potential, while maintaining balance between individual and collective interests, and while maintaining harmony with the rest of life on the planet.

PROUT Design Principles
PROUT does not seek to promote an ideology but to offer a system of practical design principles that are intended to bring balanced progress and vitality to the human society. Read More

Four Essential Conditions
for Creating a New Society
The PROUT Institute identifies four essential conditions for undertaking a transition to a sustainable and equitable future:

* Hope: a rational and grounded sense of hope for humanity's future
* Vision: a comprehensive vision to guide enduring social transformation
* Empowerment: personal vitalization and empowering ideas
* Solutions: a theory based, solution-oriented approach to social renewal

Future Vision

While recognizing that humanity faces unprecedented problems, and that significant disruptions in social life are now upon us, PROUT holds a positive outlook on humanity's future. It sees the difficulties of the present forcing shifts of consciousness and creating conditions for the rapid emergence of a universal humanity, able to work together to develop the rich potentialities of the human species potentialities long suppressed by a materialist culture.

PROUT seeks to help open a path through the darkness of the present to this new stage of human existence and to provide a socio-economic paradigm in which humanity's emerging new consciousness and unity can take root in fertile soil and flourish. It seeks to open a cleared vista, without dogma-created impediments, to the comprehensive fulfillment of human potentialities."
