We . . .

All are precious SolSeed.

Members of the SolSeedMovement are united by a single tenet: Life is Precious. We invite you to join our community. The SolSeedMovement exists to support all people who believe that life is precious.

The SolSeedMovement is a practical philosophy, a praxis, a way of being in community with the body of all life. We are a coalition of diverse people brought together by the core values that we all share. Rather than spend our energy on questions of faith, politics, or policy that too often divide us, we are working out what it means to live our shared truth, beauty, and values.

Working alone, we can each have an impact on our local community, but working together we can change the world!

The SolSeed Movement is a "Truth, Beauty, and Values Movement":

The SolSeed movement is a TruthMovement because it pursues truth (i.e., the concepts that best model observable reality) via the scientific method. (See Wisdom.)

The SolSeed movement is a BeautyMovement because it embraces the power of human passion and seeks to encourage it through the development of the arts. (See SelfLove.)

The SolSeed movement is a ValuesMovement because it cultivates moral behavior that is grounded on the assertion that all life is precious and good. (See Empathy.)

Please feel warmly invited to join us in shaping the body of all life into a community of sharing that cares for each of us.

The SolSeed movement's name and TheDestiny are inspired by the novels Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents by the late OctaviaButler.

Solseed Movement I would like to bring to the attention of the members of the Solseed Movement, the Space Settlement section of the website of the National Space Society. Nearly all material concerning Space Settlement (almosty 20,000 pages), that is not proprietary or classified, is included. http://www.nss.org/settlement/ Mark Hopkins What about a free escrow service? Dear Brandon CS Sanders, as you are the chief architect of AboutUs, you and the friendly and constructive people here on the site might be interested in this idea, to strengthen the role of AboutUs as a global player. So I bought FreeEscrow.org, what could perfectly align with the ideas in the AboutUs.org field. Looking for active partners to CreateAndShareWealth. FreeEscrow. --fridemar 15:21, 24 February 2008 (PST) January 2008 Kevin redirects the Earthseed reference to SolSeed on Wikipedia to its new home on AboutUs.
