We kindly request you to confirm from now till 2 days before the event, as we must commit with BOSKAFE, the place of meeting well in advance. SOCIETY AND SOCIAL UNITY Society is like a company of pedestrians going on a pilgrimage. Suppose one among them is attacked by cholera, do the rest go on their way, leaving him behind? No, they cannot. Rather, they break their journey at the place for a day or two, relieve him from the disease and help him to acquire strength in his legs. Or, they start out anew, carrying him on their shoulders. If anyone runs short of his subsistence, others give him their own. Together, they share everything with all. Together, they stream ahead, singing their leading chorus. In their eagerness to go ahead with others, they forget their trifling differences which in their families might have lead to negative exchanges and court cases, even down to three generations. The essence of cooperation born of moving together, aims at widening or expanding the mental being of a person by striking down one’s barriers of meanness again and again. And hence, I reiterate that society is like such a batch of pilgrims gathering a strange power of mind in travelling together and with its help, solving all the problems of their individual and social life. (Supreme Expression II, 114) From the first expression of moralism, to the establishment in cosmic humanity, there is a gap. The concerted effort to negotiate this gap is termed as social progress, and the collective body of those who are engaged in this concerted effort I shall call the “society.” (Human Society I, 1 With the present economical crisis, many questions arise within people concerning the future of our society. Will the crisis last long time ? Will it get worse? Is the present rise of the stock exchange good for the health of the real economy ? Is capitalism definitely winner for many years and decades, or may it collapse, due to its own excesses ? May a revolution happen in the world ? If ever capitalism broke down, what could be the next model of society ? An alternative socio-economical philosophy has existed for already 50 years. It is called PROGRESSIVE UTILIZATION THEORY (PROUT). What does it suggest ? What are its basic principles ? Which model of economic company does it support ? Does it have a chance to be imposed upon the rich capitalist person and to the current politicians? Mr Gros and Julia have known PROUT for many years. They will be able to answer those different questions, during the discussion which will be hold soon in Paris. http://yoga.meetup.com/458/ http://spirituality.meetup.com/20/ http://www.meetup.com/neweconomics/es/
