splitopenandmelt asked: Who are you? Where are you? What do you do? Where do you go? When do you wake up every morning and go to sleep each night?
Okay, I’ll admit that the ‘Christmas Submissions’ post was a lie. And I’m pretty sure that I’m going to institute some changes to this page. If you’re following for manifestos, I thank you for your faith. If you’re following for unknown reasons, I suggest you consider my ‘personal’ page, allkarma.tumblr.com. And if you’re following for...

The Mythopoetic Manifesto
*Author: Noumenology*
An essential element of the human condition is to continually find meaningfulness and definition amidst the absurdity which we perceive. Victor Frankl called this “The Will to Meaning.” Existentialists recognize it as a revolt against nihilism, and that the creation of one’s own meaning in the sight of meaninglessness is an expression of our true freedom. Ontological...
Re-Imagining the 21st Century
*Author: On A Lonely Screen*
Spirituality before Biology.
Biology before Technology.
Technology before Economy.
Economy before Society.
The universe, the Whole of Existence, is an evolving process. Human beings have been experiencing this Existence for merely the blink of an eye - a millisecond on the cosmic clock. As sentient beings given enough time we have evolved the five senses that are...

One Page Manifesto – In Support of the Movement Do not remain on the sidelines, for now is the time to fight. If we do not stand as one out of many, we cannot be perceived as such. We know that we fight the good fight, for goodness is felt in our hearts. Failure in abiding the teachings of love is failure in acceptance of a human condition. I know these things to be true, and I now act upon...
My manifesto of self.
*Author: Polka-Dots on my Guitar*
I am true to myself; I share my colors exactly as they are. I will not play someone else to others, nor agree simply for the sake of acceptance. I will not give up my freedom for security.
I am making myself into the individual I want to be – body, mind and soul. I will care for my body as it deserves- through healthful eating and exercise. I will attend my mind...
USA: The Declaration of Independence
In Congress, July 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect...
A Plea for the Creation of Community Everywhere:
There is an incredible show of support for genderqueer individuals these days, most notably the campaign which seems to have arisen from recent suicides of gender-questioning youth. Even a video of President Obama speaking on the issue has been released. Obama’s video was unique in that it broadened the scope of ‘It Gets Better’ in order to engage all types of minorities, arguing for the...
Humanism And Its Aspirations
Humanist Manifesto III, a successor to the Humanist Manifesto of 1933*
Humanism is a progressive philosophy of life that, without supernaturalism, affirms our ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good of humanity.
The lifestance of Humanism—guided by reason, inspired by compassion, and informed by experience—encourages us to live...
Wake up! Arise from habit. It is time to reflect. It is time to seek truthful answers for questions raised.
To find ‘truthful answers,’ there must be a definition of ‘truth.’ Comprehension, experience, knowledge – all are irrevocably subjective, relying on systems originating elsewhere. At the base of all human experience lies perception, named ‘consciousness.’ What comes before consciousness? We...
