Online Product Sales



This project focuses on running an online business that makes shopping easier for customers by handling product sourcing and delivery. Customers place their orders online, and I source the requested items from local shops. For clients who are nearby, I deliver directly, while for those farther away, I arrange for items to be shipped. The aim is to save people time and provide a convenient and reliable service.

To make this happen smoothly, I need financial capital that will allow me to purchase products in advance and on time. This prevents delays and helps maintain customer satisfaction. I also hope to establish a small physical center where clients can find me more easily. This will help build trust, increase visibility, and attract a larger customer base.

1. Challenge

When there is love the problem is simple. Otherwise, the problem is complex. What do you know? Give an example of something obvious, undeniable, certain. Is it a fact, an idea, a feeling? How do you know it is true? What evidence do you have? Is it worth believing in?

Think for yourself (Understand)



Find the heart and soul of any issue. Each person must set their own learning path. Let’s begin again, as a newborn babe.



Let us conceive of education as awakening from sloth, removing the mask, and seeing with clear eyes. To find out what is good in ourselves, to heal our own psychological damage, to grasp our higher nature. The one who knows is not who remembers more, but who probes and cares more.
1. Find something real in what you see.
2. Ask what lies at the root.
3. Say something good about those you disagree with.

Understanding is transformative, world-changing. But that is the easy part. It is not complete until we take action. We have not understood a topic until we have resolved it in practice. Understanding and action are one and the same.

Put the fair and good into your mind. What is your culture IQ?
How much time do you spend watching television, on the Internet, on your phone, or listening to music? How much do you engage in creative work or challenging thought?

Culture: Beautiful Books



Is a glorious culture possible? The purpose of Beautiful Books is to promote and celebrate beautiful art. We want to remind each other that culture can lift and inspire, inform and transform. Goodness, beauty and truth exist. Let’s join together to rediscover what this is. 

Great art wakes us up. It reminds us of our higher nature and helps us find ways to express our own vision. It inspires us, makes us whole, and strengthens us to go back into the world and fight for what is true.

We need a way to judge art and hold artists accountable for what they create. The purpose of Beautiful Books is to promote and celebrate beautiful culture and art. Beautiful Books is a counterpart to Banned Books.

The intention of Beautiful Books is not to judge art. That is for each person to do on their own. Our goal is only to defend the idea that art has a purpose that is larger than itself.

Art can shatter as easily as it can create. Profane or obscene material shatters sensitivity to beauty. Culture can lift and inspire, inform and transform. Let us be a friend to beauty. Let’s make beauty visible to ordinary eyes.

This is Part 2 of a two part series on Modern Culture. Part 1 is understanding Our Moral Condition.

Just doing your job is criminal



Money is magic. It’s a lucky charm, a talisman, a nomadic object. What can we do with it? Achieve personal happiness? Or can we go all the way?

1. Challenge

Stake your life on the existence of a transcendent reality. Stake your life on the existence of a transcendent reality. Decide to become capable of spirituality, freedom, love, good.
Begin with humility. Assume that you are ignorant, that every one of your assumptions are incorrect. That everything constructed by society is false. Begin by admitting that you are bewitched, seduced by whatever you are most fond of. Fight the idea that the greatest thing in life is to satisfy your interests or needs.

Spiritual Community

Can we construct a practical spirituality for the disaffected modern life?

Are you okay with living your life as it is given to you? Or will you dive into the sea of the real? Go ahead, lift your head above the languid sea. Tell yourself: I am going to live. Greet the day with promise. Smile in the face of mortality.

Join us in Visionary Spiritual Community
Religiosity for the modern age

The majority of people no longer belong to any spiritual community, yet we all still need spiritual fortification. We need places to awaken the spirit and charge ourselves for bringing soul into everyday life. Can we construct a practical spirituality for the disaffected modern person, holding each other accountable for the lives we lead?

Relationship: Create a new Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day, Mother’s and Father’s Day champion a limited form of love. Don't cut yourself short. There is an even better kind of relationship.

Let’s find the core of the existing holidays: nurturing each other, helping each other, learning about each other. Fight the idealization of romantic love. Bring together two souls for the elaboration of the good. Defend the possibility of true friendship!

– Ask for depth in every relationship, at least a little.
– Look upon harm-doers with the eyes of a mother.
– Be faithful to all relationships and never give up on anyone.
– Support anyone who is sensitive to life.
– Learn to see all children as your own.
– Spending more than fifty percent of your time or energy on a personal relationship is a crime against humanity.

New Valentine’s Day presents the Visionary Friendship pledge, which is relationship without idolatry. Friendshape your friendships. Give your heart to humanity!

1. Challenge

Look for the good in the other side. “At every moment of our lives we should be trying to find out, not in what we differ from other people, but in what we agree with them; and the moment we find we can agree as to anything that should be done, kind or good, (and who but fools couldn’t?) then do it; push at it together.” John Ruskin

Turn a political issue into a Quest

Are you fed up with politics, but still want to be involved in the issues of the day? Is government that recognizes heart and soul possible?

Every time a political issue is presented to us we can look for a deeper way, one not based on superiority or coercion. Turn a political issue into a Quest.

Does politics have to be adversarial? Are you worthy of democracy? What would it mean to develop exquisite sensitivity to the human condition of the community?

Do not vote for a second-rate way of life, even if it is the lesser of two evils. We have more power than we realize, if we build up in ourselves, during the course of our life, the courage of heart and soul. Of refusing to close our heart. Of defending ourself against despondency and bitterness. Of the tenderness and fearlessness that is needed to approach our foes. This is voting as it was meant to be.

It doesn’t matter which side is right. It doesn’t even matter if we find a solution. Instead, our goal must be to look courageously, with humility and goodwill. That is already transformative action. Visionary voting means developing our latent and suppressed capacity for perceiving and acting at the deepest possible level. It means engaging people to respond at precisely the level at which deficiency is being generated.

Turn a political issue into a Quest
Every time a political issue is presented to us we can look for a deeper way, one not based on superiority or coercion. Take it as an opportunity to transform the field on which opposing parties meet, so that they no longer meet in opposition. Reconstruct any hopeless political issue and make it Visionary. Select a political issue, and we will work together to turn it into Quest.


Pledge Summary
Stop taking sides.
Don’t believe what you are told by politicians or the media.
Don't assume that our present choices are a permanent fact.
Listen deeply to views you don’t agree with.
Instead of demanding change ask for empathy, contrition and reflection.
Find a way that changes assumptions and that works at the heart level.


Vote by what you actually do in the course of the day: the work you do, the places you visit, your friends and entertainment, who you help, what you create
