Stake your life on something in Visionary Society

Stake your life on something

Dedication to the real is defeat of the bland state of the public mind. It is a new social contract, reassigning our allegiance, writing the constitution with our life, generating and establishing Visionary society.

What is worth living for? What is false and what is real in your life? What is the secret of existence?

How does one become a Visionary citizen? It's awfully simple, in a sense. All that we need is to that world. Not occassionally or half-heartedly, but contantly and thoroughly. Not just intellectually, but with heart and soul. What does that mean? It means staking our life on the existence of a transcendent reality.
What does that mean? Don’t waste this one life that you have. Be discontented. Be unreasonable. Take risks for the sake of your soul. Make a firm promise to become capable of the good, the true, the beautiful, and to do so in your actual life: work, celebration, relationship, citizenship. Stake your entire being on it. And don’t forget to celebrate that you are on a path that truly matters.

Gatherings

Exploring a Quest on your own is good, but doing it together with friends and community members is better.

Schedule a Gathering.

Exploring a Quest on your own is good, but doing it together with friends and community members is better! Facilitating Quests is easy and no one needs to be an expert. The Quest Path is intuitive. Just take the steps that interest you. To begin, decide on the Gathering type.

Quest Meeting

Hold a meeting open to Visionary society members and the public, with the purpose of following any Quest Path, reaching the heart of a basic social or personal mystery. See more.

Public Action

A great insight matters little unless and until we bring it into the world. Public Action is bringing the insights of a Quest to the public. It works by engagement – engaging the public, helpfully but with clarity, in matters of significance. See more.

Celebration of the Good

Can we envision a new kind of entertainment, one that engages people in active celebration of beauty, truth and good? See more.
