Introduction

There are two types of originality, the first of which is to look at something - a specific subject - in a new way. For instance, this applies to an insightful reinterpretation of a period of history. As another example, it applies to the new view of economic development that has emerged. Previously, such “progress” was unchallenged; now, all manner of individuals and groups decry the ills that derive from “globalization.”

However, while this does reflect a change in perception, the main focus is on the thing being perceived.

Deeper originality relates to unveiling completely new forms of perception, which can then be applied to many different and unrelated subjects, if not everything. Examples of this type of originality include Buddhism and its focus on the elimination of desire; Einstein’s relativity theory and the idea that space and time are inseparable, and curved; and quantum mechanics and the primacy it gives to chance.

Freedom From Form aspires to this level of originality.

- It teaches that existence can best be understood as the interaction and transformation of “forms,” and as the resolution of an underlying conflict between deterministic influences and free will.

- It is an evolutionary study of the human experience, and of our social development, to-date.

- It presents a new way to analyze our diverse social problems. It teaches that while such problems appear different and distinct, they actually are just symptoms of a much deeper malaise.

- It is a call to activism, and a comprehensive guide thereto, including of all relevant ethical issues.

- It includes a complete statement of the social goals that are appropriate for our species.

- It is an exposition of a social structure, unique in human history, through which these goals can be achieved, and of how we can transform our current society to it.

- It is a model of the future evolution of humanity, to a new species, with a reappraisal of evolutionary processes, and a description of the neurological and behavioral changes that likely will occur.

- It presents a proof of why technology, as it is currently practiced, will not itself lead to such evolution.

- And, it is an explanation of the purpose of life, and the universe.
