What is The Faculty of Living?
The Faculty of Living is the experience of eternal life, gained by the accomplishment of Jesus-Christ when He defeated death with His resurrection, that He may grant and impart His eternal life to humanity by His Holy Spirit, away from all religiosity of rituals and traditions.
The Faculty of Living is the personal passage from the spiritual division of human DNA into the organic experience of spiritual unity.
The Faculty of Living is the point of connectivity where God offers and imparts to humans with personal reconciliation, resolution and completion of the invisible being, reaching out to the materialization of justice, peace, joy, love and wisdom by God's Spirit.
The Faculty of Living produces the personal experience of sanctity and of well being and the communal assembling grown from this personal experience of unity.
The Faculty of Living is where and when all human experience, knowledge, sciences and faculties meet up in the assembling of one another's relativity and proximity, into the settlement of life's essence or as it is known to Christianity, eternal life.

Mission Statement
The Faculty of Living’s mission is to research, while developing, the residential dwelling that can house the lifetime personal growth, with the constant access to give and/or to receive communal support.
"Economically, I view this project as "Building the Recovery Road from self-destruction to self-control and community self-government".
Politically, it provides individuals and cultures with a basis to adapt the meaning of Sovereignty to:
"Sovereignty is the ability to make decisions in serene maturity and the capacity to implement these decisions with complete understanding, wisdom and responsibility".

HOW THE IDEA CAME UP
On the front page of the local weekly newspaper of January 17, 2007, there was an article explaining that the Edmonton Public School Board (EPSB) are contemplating the closure of 3 elementary schools, located within the city limits. Their decision will be rendered in March 2007, opening up in theory the possibility to re-assign these premises by July 2007.
Based upon that theory and given the need to massively learn how to personally and communally re-educate ourselves to face the challenges of sustainability and of social security, The Faculty of Living is a project offering to bring together the domestic setting, that serves to house the culture of personal and mutual Health-Education-Correction.
WHO ARE FIRST INVITED
The idea of using the 3 schools made vacant by EPSB, is to provide families Who have one or more member who qualify as persons with developmental disabilities and the senior citizens to join forces to lead the renovations of these schools with a model of sustainable life long learning.
Such an effort will equip buildings and people into a domestic dynamic to host the social development needed for the culture of personal and mutual Health-Education-Correction to take root solidly and richly.
ACTIVATING FRAMEWORK
The activating framework (AF) is to answer the question:
“How do we present The Faculty of Living in such a way as to gather the people and the elements that will generate the interest of a critical mass in supporting and into partnering with the project?”
- By opening up a space where can assemble the core persons needed to embody the project with the model that can serve as the basis of deployment. This space needs to accommodate the financial and volunteer support to entrench the Health – Education – Correction’s sufficiency for a minimum of 2 or 3 families, along with 2 or 3 senior citizens for developing one school’s occupancy.
Each school will house 3 programs:
- Mnastic Family Habitat (MFH)
MFH serves the Health part of the project by offering the setting for the co-habitation that employs each resident into the apprenticeship of personal and mutual care.
http://www.worknets.org/wiki.cgi?MonasticFamilyHabitat- Night Time Padre (NTP)
NTP serves the Education part of the project where the residents are hosting the community with activities that are driven by the mission of The Faculty of Living.
These activities are being decided and carried out as much as possible by the residents, for the sake of nurturing the socio-culture of lifetime learning.
- Native Chi Shop (NCS)
NCS serves the Correction part of the project by offering to the 2 other programs, MFH and NTP, the ongoing research and development opportunity, for personal and communal improvement.
Because of the 24/7 nature of domestic dwelling, there is the possibility to host the initiation of the project and to demonstrate how the embodiment of the Faculty of Living gets cultivated into the maturity of a personal and mutual environment of Health-Education-Correction‘s sufficiency.
ORGANISATIONAL FRAMEWORK
If a space can be opened up to host the development of the project, then there will be daily meetings, hosted in the duplicating of MFH – NTP – NCS, cultivating The Faculty of Living.
The purpose of such a space is to set up a non-profit organization or to join an existing housing society or agency.
A board of directors will be assembled to gather up the people with the expertise to advise the project, while representing the organizations, which have a related involvement to steer the project to completion.
Of course, if for any reasons the schools were to become unavailable for The Faculty of Living project of social housing and human resource development, then the project shall continue to evolve elsewhere until completion.
SUPERVISION BODY
The supervision of The Faculty of Living will be made of an alliance between the domestic disciplines of
Restorative Justice – Community Mental Health – Alternative Medicine,
Moving sustainability with life time learning from the domestic experience of maturity to the socio-cultural completion with
The Courts and Legislative Bodies – Humanities deployment from play ground to maturity – Conventional Medicine.
INITIAL MEETING
Living with a person with personal developmental disabilities for nearly 22 years, we hope that the personal experience of our family with the difficulties we face, can serve as the live feed into the project.
The purpose of that initial meeting is to galvanize the necessary support for our family spanning 3 generations in Alberta, Canada, to move into position to host the 24/7 alliance’s development for the supervision body.
This initial meeting will be offered under the name of Healing the Inner Circle. It is an initiative for which I received support last year and from which the funding will come. For all parties of authority who are concerned, The Faculty of Living is a one shot deal (opportunity for all of humanity) for the front line actors to hit the Invisible Gold Rush of Being Albertan.
If interested, the Invisible Gold Rush of Being Albertan is the title to a theme song of the project. You can read it along with the other theme song of the project, both written for the completion of Canada’s national connection into the civilisation of global citizenship. You can view it here::
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/A17267925The organization who gave me a micro grant is named Action for Healthy Communities:
http://www.a4hc.ca/With this initial meeting, I will be changing the purpose originally intended by the funding, but which still falls within the mandate of an Action for Healthy Communities.
As a result of this change, the initiative is now moving from multi-cultural music production and traditional medicines to the social housing which, once opened, shall begin the implementation of its personal and communal research and development apprenticeship, all based upon music and traditional medicines disciplines meeting up in completion with the existing structures of the established authority.
VIEW OF PROJECT’S EVOLUTION
As we, my family and I settle in the living quarters, the supervision body works with us to establish the parameters and guidelines to work from. Once the first school's project comes to maturity, then the initiative will be equipped with a self-sufficient entity, ready to deploy into the infrastructure of our tax expenditures at all levels of democracy.
Once the activation of the structure becomes functional for all stakeholders, then deployment begins in the organic duplication, meaning, that the whole process shall remain flexible and adaptable to each personal growth into life time leaning and sustainable living, with completing communal support.
…may all blessings be with us all…
