Our mission then was to examine the psychological roots of our culture's view of the world which had led to the nuclear arms race, and to consider how other worldviews may offer better ways to live peacefully. That core mission ? the examination of how one's worldview is shaped, and how in turn this shapes public policy ? today encompass a broad spectrum of topics critical to our future: from the environment, alternative healing modalities, the bridging of science and spirituality, to what extraordinary experiences such as "alien" encounters say about our understanding of ourselves and the world we share."

the best way to evaluate ideas is to determine how much pain they solve, and the best way to communicate ideas
is to point out the pain they relieve.

The whatmeartist course by Eolake Stobblehouse
Creation and beauty come from the heart and from the spirit. While technology and technique can be wonderful aids, they will stay mere tools, and will never replace the creator. You, the artist. The course contain knowledge that is common to artistic activities, such as
*  How do I start a new work?
*  What can I do when I am stuck?
*  How do I handle criticism?
*  What is a composition?
*  How will I make the audience understand the work?
*  How important is technique?     etc
