  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I would like to make an invitation to a mission called Project Heraclitus, aimed on completing a unified theory on the totality of existence. This theory takes a fresh look on reality as it is, with the recognition of consciousness as the overall context of our lifes. This will be a collaborative effort of illuminating the work done by Paul Hague in Wholeness: The Union of Opposites. The work will be put under a Creative Commons License and commented, questioned, added and revised upon in order to produce something rock solid that could serve as the abstract foundation for the establishment of Paragonian Community. The word paragonian derives from the Greek words para, ‘beyond’, and agon, ‘contest’ or ‘conflict’, which is also the root of agony and antagonistic. Paragonian thus means ‘beyond conflict and suffering’, a healthy, liberated, and awakened way of being that we can realize when we are both unified with the Divine and integrated with the Cosmos; when we base our lives firmly and squarely on our immortal Ground of Being.


This project is an attempt to unite mankind under a way of relating and thinking that is undivided and promotes the development of unrestricted Intelligence and pure Consciousness in each an every man and woman.
There have been several attempts to provide a mass synthesis of all knowledge into a single theory, but unlike previous attempts done primarily by philosophers in obtruse language, this will be a participatory effort to provide clarity of concept and to reach out to as many different perspectives as possible. The results will, apart from helping people find their center in undivided consciousness, the primordial essence of which we call Love, constitute the rock on which to build global community interested in bringing human civilization to another level of being. We feel that there is an urgent need to unite mankind under some banner in order to reach out with fresh ideas on how to run and develop society, in a way that is in harmony with both nature and technology.


We need to realize that we can not continue to operate with sovereign nations in warfare and competition, if we want human civilization to develop further. We can not have relentless economic growth exploit and spread toxins throughout our environment much longer, if we wish to survive as a species. We need to come together and organize solutions to our problems. There are many good ideas out there on how to transform politics and economics, but these solutions will have to be implemented at the global level through a world wide cooperative effort, short circuiting the old competitive systems and the elite consensus of the wealthy, that is currently dominating the credulous masses by oppressive means and reactionary solutions. You can read a thorough description of the most dominant social order in the book Gaian Democracies: Redefining Globalization and People Power, of which you can find a short outline here: Introducing 'Gaian Democracies: Redefining Globalisation and People-Power'


The Paragonian Foundation will use the 12 Principles of the Baha'i Faith, as presented by the Universal House of Justice (Twelve Principles of the Baha'i Faith), as shared principles for the Community. The purpose of the Foundation, will be to instill revolutionary spirit in people the world over, for we are quickly moving towards complete destruction and segregation of human civilization and the ecosystems that sustain us. Direct action will have to be done at the grassroots level in a united fashion, if we are to make a smooth transition to wherever it is that we want to go, and may providence guide us in the right direction.


The Work and substrate material will be presented to those interested, and will use some form of collaborative web software.
To begin with you can take a look at the material presented below, to get an idea of what we will work with.
