Title: An introduction to utopianism
Author: Kerista Commune
Publisher: Hamilton College Library
Place published: Clinton, New York, United States
Text: AN INTRODUCTION TO UTOPIANISM Any person who wants to be happy today is obliged to discover a philbsophy that will support all of the concomitant fac- tors connected to lasting happiness. It is clear that happiness is connected to the good life. The good life is utopian in style and fashion. It has a utopian- oriented nutritional, metaphysical, eco- nomic and behavioral system. This sY5t9m' is called utopian spiritualism. A person who is receptive to the ideas of utopian spiritualism is a person that has been blessed by the higher forces of the cosmos. Each person who follows the nutritional customs of utopianism brings healthful living into her/his life. The phasing-in of good eating habits is best achieved on a step-by-step basis. Power to improve one‘s intellectual abilities, beyond imaginable levels, through whole- some behavioral habits, is a part of the utopian life style and virtue system.

It is clear that happiness is connected to the good life. The good life is utopian in style and fashion. It has a utopian- oriented nutritional, metaphysical, eco- nomic and behavioral system. This sY5t9m' is called utopian spiritualism. A person who is receptive to the ideas of utopian spiritualism is a person that has been blessed by the higher forces of the cosmos. Each person who follows the nutritional customs of utopianism brings healthful living into her/his life. The phasing-in of good eating habits is best achieved on a step-by-step basis. Power to improve one‘s intellectual abilities, beyond imaginable levels, through whole- some behavioral habits, is a part of the utopian life style and virtue system. Utopian spiritualists are receptors of the highest forms of cosmic inspiration. They live in complete harmony with human instincts (there are 38 such instincts). The non-instinctive input of other forms of life style are filtered out in utopia by a process of eternal vigilance. Only positive energy, supportive of the human instincts, is permitted to enter the ego and the mindsoul of a utopian. The non- instinctive input is screened out via an elaborate listing of noxious items. The noxious items are abominations to a pure utopian spiritualist. Lists of behavior categorized as obnoxious are studied and discussed by the utopians. After study- ing the dos and don'ts, the utopians are constantly appraising the rational basis for arriving at the evaluations of right behavior. Each positive and negative is discussed and examined with intellectual vigor to be sure the reasoning is sound. None of the abominations of the utopian life style are ascertained without great concern for religious righteousness. In utopia there is a constant encouragement of self-direction connected to wisdom of thought and honorable co-operation. The religion of utopia revolves around the theory of mindsoul. In this concept each human being has a mindsoul which is connected by receptors to the teleologi- cal force that created and governs human existence and all other events in cosmic evolution. Mindsouls are constantly com- municating with the divine force. Allah is the name of the highest, omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient, all-encompassing being worshipped, revered, venerated and loved by utopian spiritualists. Allah is non—material and,in a pantheistic sense, all things exist in Allah. Utopian spiritualism is a totally pure and rational religion. All human beings who call themselves utopian spiritualist adherents live by the utopian code. The utopian code lists, in writing, all good and right behavior and all bad and wrong behavior. People can study the utopian code and decide whether they agree prior to accepting the religion. If they find ~ any flaws in the utopian code, a vote is taken to see whether the majority of the utopian spiritualists agree that a par- ticular point should be changed. Dreams are a very important aspect and factor in the utopian life style. Sleep is considered a precious experience. To sleep soundly and have active dreams are prized joys of utopians. To eat quality food without harmful additives, to enjoy depression-free and worry-free existence and to live a healthy, happy life are in the forefront of utopian blessings. The utopians are constantly working so other people may also, eventually, come into a state of utopian blessedness. Development of utopian virtue isn't an aimless affair; each stage follows pre- cisely its predecessor. Step by step, stage by stage, women/men rise to utopia via utopian consciousness. Teachers of utopian virtue are obliged to use one & only one method of teaching: very gentle advocacy and example. There isn't any other way to teach utopian virtue. The teacher's reward is the beautiful, happy joy of service to Allah. Allah rewards the virtuous with the gift of humor. All utopian educators are divinely inspired. Logic uses common sense as its founda- tion. When human beings arrive at basic values, freely chosen, as guides to live by, they make these choices by using the facilities of logic and common sense. A person always acts in her/his own self- interest and that is as it should be, A person who acts from a foundation of ig- norance does so because she/he is unable to pick the best option for living with- out self—sabotage and self—inflicted in- jurious behavior. The indomitable right of each individual to freely choose her/ 'his own religion and life style is basic to American civilization. Each American righteously follows her/his judgement in choosing who she/he wants to live with & associate with. People are obligated to deal with the consequences of their best and worst decisions. If they act wisely they'll be healthy, comfortable and well off; if they act stupidly they will find that reality exacts a price for each un- wise decision they have made. Utopians are convinced that the wisdom of group living is basic to happiness or joyousness. Group living, beyond isola- ted coupling,is intrinsic to the utopian life style. There aren't any couples in utopia and romantic behavior isn't found in any person who wants to be known as a pure utopian spiritualist by other pure utopian spiritualists. A utopian cannot be romantic, seductive, seduced or given to admire any behavior that is romantic, seductive or non-instinctive. Each free utopian spiritualist has studied utopian psychology and is thoroughly familiariz- . \\ ed with the 98 themes of mental health. . 7; I A utopian is drawn to lifetime partners, companions and intimate friends through » ff congenial agreement on the highest ideal ’ of religious righteousness. People blend their sociabi1ity'into lifetime, serious relationships. There isn't any lechery, promiscuity or possessiveness in utopian society. If utopians have a major point of difference in outlook or philosophy & are uncomfortable in any way they grace- fully distance and become formal, polite and separate themselves without uptight- ness or ill will. Jealousy, envy, & any act of hostility are considered as being causes for expulsion from utopia. \“é'§§
