our vision is A way TO WORLD PEACE

This site has operated as a "sole proprietorship" in the U.S. since 1998: first, as "The Gallery of Broken Dreams" and then "Imperterritus" (English Translation: Dauntless), followed by MEOAG (Mandy Elliott's Online Art Gallery), before finally, since 2010 (I had to look it up), lookpastit.com 

In 2019, lookpastit.com began a World Peace tour across North America, lost but determined to discover answers to the "how" we attain world peace. In early 2021, at the southern edge of the Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA, we got those answers and have been working to clarify them in-the-sharing ever since.

With our efforts and money going into this mission anyway, now (summer of 2023), we're working on aligning lookpastit.com's legal status with our mission as a non-profit organization (NPO) so that all of our proceeds may be legally re-invested into our world peace mission with maximum yields. The better the NPO does, the more individuals and communities we can assist in self-empowerment and social innovation toward peaceful co-existence with ourselves, each other, the world, and beyond.

Founded by the Artist "M.E." (Mandy B. Elliott,) at first just to have an outlet, and then to share tools of self-empowerment and peace to any and all who are seeking, lookpastit.com wouldn't be what it is today without ALOT of other people. Special thanks to all of them! (soon, a page dedicated to such gratitude for our spheres of influence.)

Empowering humanity to empower ourselves to co-exist, to grow in harmony with ourselves, each other, all life on our shared planet, and beyond.

To Achieve World Peace through Individual Peace, collectively, within the life-time of the founder.

Integrity. Generosity. Innovation.

Integrity, we believe, is a balance of honesty with self and others, of keeping ones word to self and others, of doing right by self and others, and choosing this balance in every moment of every day as best we can, while forgiving ourselves and others when we wobble because wobbling is a great source of learning/teaching about ourselves and each other.

Where charity requires a lack to fill, generosity shares just because, and it for this distinct conscious difference that we choose generosity over charity every time. Generosity promotes the genuine giving in love and sharing, and it doesn't require any specific reasons nor results, which means (unlike charity) it has no social strings attached.

To us, innovation isn't new for the sake of newness, but the art of maximizing experiences with every new now. Therefore, our innovations begin within the individual's mind, collectively, and expand outward. Basically, real "mind over matter" application through conscious awareness and focus. This means our work is never done, and we're happy to keep innovating.

1. Empower individuals to safely empower themselves in any situation, regardless of age, gender, culture, orientation, financial class, or religion, etc.
2. Encourage peace through understanding and purposeful freewill choice,  regardless of age, gender, culture, orientation, financial class, or religion, etc.
3. Create spaces (virtual and real) where the disempowered individuals can peacefully and purposefully empower themselves, and the empowered individuals can peacefully and purposefully experiment, express, and collaborate for the betterment of all, regardless of age, gender, culture, orientation, financial class, or religion, etc.
4. For the ultimate goal of attaining actual world peace, naturally, and within the founder’s life-time.

1. RETROFIT LOOKPASTIT.COM's content to be the HUB of our world peace mission, including but not limited to RealityRe-Explained! breaking out "energy physics", emotions as our "HUD" for navigating the energy physics (our experiences of life), and "The Good News," as well as networking with (linking to) other organizations focused on and working toward peace. Including custom illustrations/graphics for said new content. (in progress)
2. INCORPORATE lookpastit.com as an LLC so we can file to be a legal non-profit organization. (in progress)
3. BUILD sets for filming family-friendly machinema versions of classics like Plato’s plays, The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, FLATLAND, etc., and our own fan-fiction series “GATE NEXUS” that highlights energy physics and using our emotions as a HUD for navigating our experiences of reality on purpose. (in progress)
4. FILM family-friendly machinema versions of classics and our fan-fiction series, GATE NEXUS, as well as behind-the-scenes and ADULT specials. (in progress)
5. SHOW filmed family-friendly content for FREE on lookpastit.com and our “GATE NEXUS” and “LOOKPASTIT” YouTube Channels, while charging a FEE for most behind-the-scenes content and ADULT specials. (soon)
6. OPEN our film sets as RPG playgrounds with built-in quests designed to help individuals practice using their emotions as a HUD for navigating their experiences of reality (or the game in this case) on purpose. (soon)
7. COLLABORATE with other empowered individuals to fully conceptualize, patent, manufacture and distribute emotions HUD translators in smartwatch and/or app form, in order to assist individuals in learning to use their emotions as their HUD for navigating their experiences of reality on purpose. (TBD)
8. PARTNER with communities to plan, build and maintain Privately Operated Public Rest Stops (POPRS) as non-denominational sanctuaries, social centers of peace and innovation dedicated to expressing and preserving the cultures that create them while networking with each other (other POPRS) for the betterment of all. (TBD)
9. EVOLVE to world peace naturally, and within the founder’s life-time. (TBD)

1. FREE visual and written content on the website, lookpastit.com explaining “energy physics” “emotions as our HUD” “The Good News” and our world “peace” mission, as examples, while $$$ will be paid for the same content in reproductions and elaborations including but not limited to posters, stickers, bookmarks and books.
2. FREE webisode family-friendly fan-fiction series “GATE NEXUS” on YouTube, entertaining while educating in the mechanisms of energy physics and the use of one’s emotions as a Heads-Up Display to purposefully make more informed decisions as we experience life.
3. FREE tutorials on YouTube explaining related tech, energy physics, and/or social dynamics, while such $$$ will be charged for a commissioned-tutorial that we can make both the commissioned-tutorial free to everyone, as well as a suggestion that was NOT commissioned or "sponsored."
4. $$$ based webisode behind-the-scenes subscriptions and ADULT specials, the proceeds of which assist in the funding of our FREE products and services, including some free behind-the-scenes specials.
5. ORIGINAL FINE ART as series art, one-offs, and commissions to fund free products and services, including giving away Original Fine Art. ;)
6. PRINTS & PRODUCTS with previously sold or given away Fine Art, also funding our free products and services, including giving away prints & products.
7. PUBLIC Speaking about energy physics, using our emotions as a HUD, The Good News, and using entertainment to learn, which will be offered at such a $$$ as to allow us to offer one FREE speaking event for each commissioned or "sponsored" event.
8. COMMUNITY role-playing game that can be played for free, or $$$ can be spent on upgrades for the game, select products and services of which will assist in funding the project. The game is meant to be a safe and fun place to learn about energy physics and using ones emotions as a HUD for navigating decisions, and uses the basis of our fan-fiction “GATE NEXUS” as the game-lore and setting for continuity and inclusion.
9. Eventually, POPRS, sanctuaries of peace and social innovation that will combine many free activities with optional paid activities and even activities that pay. The idea being that everyone can experience having a purpose, one they actually enjoy waking up for every day, and feel satisfied having done every night. Through POPRS we can learn/teach  with one another in neutral ground, improve community relations, economies, and environments, ultimately leading to an improved world through the collection of these communities networking together.

1. Improving individual mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. As individuals learn and experience life without prolonged suffering, with real-and-present control over their own experiences, their improved condition improves their interactions with everyone and everything else, which continues to improve their condition/experience of life.
2. Improving family mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. As the interactions between individuals improve because the condition of the individuals has improved in a sustainable way, families and close friends will be the first collectives to see the condition improving in their collective. As these groups of family and friends interact more honestly and fulfillingly with each other, they will be as examples and natural influencers with their improved interactions with other individuals and family/friend groups.
3. Improving neighborhood mental, emotional, physical, and  spiritual wellbeing. As collectives of family/friend groups improve their interactions with each other, they improve the condition of their neighborhoods in the same sustainable way, and the influence of improvement keeps expanding, as is the nature of our reality.
4. Improving community mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. Neighborhoods with improved relations and conditions means improved communities as a whole, and as these whole communities improve sustainably, their interactions with other communities also improve and the ripple continues to expand and include more and more individuals, collectively.
5. Improving city/town mental, emotional, physical, and  spiritual wellbeing. As single individuals focus on themselves and maintain their own personal peace, collectively as families and friends, neighbors and communities, whole cities and towns will find their conditions and relations improving. More importantly, the non-peaceful outliers, of which there has always been vastly fewer, will have less of an impact on the masses of individuals who have learned how to experience life on purpose, and therefore whole cities and towns will discover these outliers have far less power than most of us grew up experiencing. Relations between these cities and towns will improve as a result, and the ripple continues.
6. Improving county/district mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. By the counties and districts, individuals empowered and in a peaceful mindset won't just have improved conditions and relations, they will be having more fun, more innovations, more apparent conflicts resolved with peaceful and productive solutions because it will be easy to think of and plan and do. By this time, there will be no denying the drop in crime, in mental health issues, in physical health issues, in certain social service needs, and pollution to name a few. Some areas may even experience a sense of delighted surprise at how quickly the improvements happen.
7. Improving state/providence mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. Collectively, the improved counties and districts will improve their states and providences in the same ways they experienced, plus new ways that only a collective as large as a state or providence can. At first, it will be things like a most productive and bustling economy with remarkably faster innovations, a vastly improved natural environment and people-nature relations, and surprisingly sustainable population growth as they become the IT places to be. This will evolve into things like free housing, food, energy, and transportation, the transition to a resource based economy that doesn't actually need money to function anymore. 
8. Improving national/country mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. As individuals, families and friends, neighborhoods, communities, cities and towns, districts and counties, states and providences are freed from the constraints of profit, they will naturally have more of it and it will be easier to share because they don't need it themselves! Whole nations and countries will discover how small the tipping point really is, and how fast we can innovate and evolve when we're doing so peacefully and purposefully from the individual onward.
9. Improving global/world mental, emotional, physical, and  spiritual wellbeing. Sooner than we originally thought possible as individuals, collectively we will change the world and find ourselves blessed to live in a peaceful, global society that has as much respect for the individual as the collective, as much appreciation for separate cultures as the natural cohesion and mingling of cultures, and true understanding of the value of differences, even and especially of those we don't agree with. We're not talking about a utopia, we're talking about actual World Peace.
