Throughout human history, philosophers, poets, politicians, and thinkers of all description have sought to define, clarify and promote a set of values which would reliably guide the lives of human beings through “the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to”.  Stubbornly, however, humanity has clung to conflict, allowing confusion between bewildering arrays of belief-systems - most of which preached peace - to lead them into war.

The fundamental flaw in the logic to date is the assumption that there has to be one truth, one set of values, which all human beings must subscribe to in a fairly restrictive way, if the peace so often preached is ever finally to be practiced worldwide.

The key is the achievement of a common consensus: a universal acceptance of a simple rule-set, which leaves everyone free to decide on their own values, beliefs and philosophy, as long as they remain under the umbrella of the three crucial Symbiosis commitments.

For us, Symbiosis, NOT Competition, is the key concept of sustainability theory: life continues to evolve, or becomes extinct, because of the success or failure of certain symbiotic relationships.  And the quality of human life depends on the sustainability of three key symbioses: between body and spirit, between people/s, and between humanity and the increasingly fragile eco-systems which support us.

Successful symbiosis depends on balancing the needs of both partners, not overwhelming one with the desires or beliefs of the other.  “Nothing is, neither good nor bad, but thinking makes it so.”  Values must be free to shift, and individuals must be free to select those values which seem to them to be most beneficial at the time they have need of them. 

The crucial element for the sustainability of the successful relationship is RESPECT: accorded by each partner to the other in equal measure.

Therefore, we need not further trample the minefield of values, beliefs, morality and ethics, rules, codes and laws.  Instead we need merely to ask that everyone accept the commitment to respect the other partner, whose needs – at least on occasions – may be quite different from our own. 

Under this rule of respect, no harm should come either to the body or the mind because the needs or desires of one have been allowed to overwhelm the needs or desires of the other.  No harm should come to any person because the needs or desires of one have been allowed to overwhelm or disregard the needs or desires of the other.  No harm should befall either humanity or the planet because the needs or desires of one partner have been allowed to overwhelm the needs or “desires” (metaphorically speaking) of the other.

An Expedition underground to find the Crystal Mayan Maiden, this cave was featured in the National Geographic Explorer film Journey through the Underworld (1993). You will bounce over some rough road to get to the start, then trek through some steamy jungle for up to an hour, fording the river 3 times (the water may be up to your knees, or even higher) to get to the mouth of the cave.  Then you swim in (there is no other way) and make your way past stalactites and stalagmites to crystallized human remains from Mayan rituals more than a thousand years ago.  This is an awesome trip which is arguably not for the faint-hearted; that is why we run a more sedate option on the same day!  some of your family member may choose to spend time exploring Mayan, Mennonite and Mestizo population centers with their different cultural overtones instead
