The Industrial Earth Kings’ castles, and extraction, exchange exclusion kingdoms’ philosophy, over 1,000 years, has killed more than 1 billion people.   This is because of war alone. I can’t imagine how many other deaths occurred because of their practices.   For example, I believe industrial earth Kings, castles, and kingdoms are responsible for all war, crime, violence, terrorism, and all the preventable suffering, directly or indirectly, on earth.  I believe it’s about time for us to transition beyond the concept of an industrial Earth, kings, castles, and kingdoms, towards a more holistic, well-motivated, positive-energy, and sustainable way of living on Earth.  One aspect of the Unidiversity research explorer cycle is the foundation. The foundation includes loving, caring, sharing, and giving, for giving to bring about conditions of comfort, joy, love, Hope, faith, unity, equity, and sustainable striving forhappiness.   I also believe in the concept of courtesy as described by Thomas Wells in the early 1800s.   With these fundamental values, we can transition to a world of joy and pleasurable experiences.   I believe that is what God wanted on our planet, instead of this world of war, violence, terrorism, abductions, and fighting.  Furthermore, I don’t believe God likes all the preventable suffering that exists in this world, as a result of industrial earth, kings, castles, and kingdoms’ approaches to living on earth.    With the university research explorer cycle, we all get involved in holistic, positive, and motivated contributions and collaboration on Earth.   There is more similarity in functioning at times when we need to take care of our commons, and more unique contributions as life purposespass for your own contributions.   You can mix and match as needed.   There is so much to talk about regarding the Earth University Research Explorer Cycle, but it requires all of us to get involved.  Nobody does it better than each of us and all of us together.  World without end…

For millennia, human civilization has often been structured around paradigms of centralized power, conquest, and resource extraction, leaving a devastating legacy of conflict and suffering. The historical dominance of systems built on control and exploitation—what I refer to as the “Industrial Earth”  king, castles, and kingdoms paradigm, characterized by entrenched hierarchies and territorial conflicts—has resulted in an unimaginable human toll. This path has consistently led to widespread preventable misery, including war, crime, violence, and terrorism, falling far short of our collective potential for peace and prosperity.

The time has come for a fundamental paradigm shift. We must consciously transition beyond these outdated models towards a holistic, regenerative, and profoundly ethical way of living. My ongoing work and vision revolve around fostering a civilization rooted in positive energy, sustainable striving, and genuine human flourishing. This isn’t merely an ideal, but an urgent imperative for our shared future.

Central to this transformation is what I term the ‘Unidiversity Research Explorer Cycle.’ This framework is designed to empower every individual to contribute meaningfully to a shared global endeavor. It’s a dynamic journey of collective inquiry, collaborative discovery, and compassionate action, where we actively research, explore, and implement solutions for a better world—solutions that respect both planetary boundaries and human dignity.

At its very core, this cycle is built upon foundational human values: unconditional love, compassionate care, generous sharing, proactive giving, and profound forgiveness. These aren’t merely abstract ideals; they are the practical cornerstones for cultivating environments of comfort, joy, hope, unwavering faith, genuine unity, true equity, and enduring, sustainable happiness. This also encompasses a deep commitment to what I perceive as ‘courtesy’—a recognition of the inherent dignity and value of every being, fostering mutual respect and ethical conduct in all interactions, much like the principles espoused by thoughtful minds through history.

Within the Unidiversity Research Explorer Cycle, there’s a dynamic interplay between our shared responsibilities and our individual callings. We engage in collaborative efforts to nurture our global commons, ensuring well-being for all, while simultaneously embracing and developing our unique talents and passions to contribute distinctively to life’s grand tapestry. This flexible approach allows individuals to seamlessly blend collective action with personal purpose, responding to evolving needs and desires in a spirit of harmonious co-creation.

We stand at a pivotal moment, poised to move beyond a world marred by conflict, violence, and preventable suffering. I firmly believe this transition aligns with humanity’s highest aspirations for peace, abundance, and a world free from unnecessary hardship—a future that reflects our deepest potential. This grand endeavor requires the engagement of every single one of us, for it is only through our combined effort, diverse perspectives, and collective brilliance that we can truly manifest this better world, not just for ourselves, but for all generations to come.   The time to transition is now. I love you.

With conviction and hope,

Richard Thomas Simmons
