our vision is A way TO WORLD PEACE

What began as a Fine Art website has evolved, as of 2019, into a full-blown mission for World Peace. Although our World Peace prerogative was originally realized during the 2011 Peoples Convention of Florida hosted by Occupy Orlando and attended by other Occupy groups from across the U.S. and the world, the experience also made it obvious to us Twins, that re-writing and creating new laws wasn't the surest path to World Peace. Indeed, even discussing laws made it clear that laws themselves immediately cause a divide between those who agree and those who don't, never mind the nuances of interpretation. 

So, the question became: 

What is the surest path to World Peace, 

which doesn't rely on laws, obedience, or unanimous agreement?

The answer is: 

Collective personal peace is the surest path to World Peace.

So, LOOKPASTIT.COM continues to exist in its evolved form, 

in order to be a hub of information and resources for all who seek world peace.

We know personal peace, collectively, is the surest path to world peace but, when talking about such diversity, as there is of people on Earth, one must ask:

 IS there a singular focus that any-and-all individuals can focus upon, regardless of who they are, or how old, or how they grew up, where they grew up, where they are now, or what their orientation or beliefs are, which will help them achieve their own personal peace? 

Our thoughts! 

But how do we know what substance our thoughts are having in our life, how do we know what to focus on when it comes to our own thoughts? 

Our emotions! 

Every time we think, perceive, or believe something about life, we feel something about it.

Once we started looking at our emotions as a Heads-Up Display (HUD) that we feel instead of see (except in other people as they express themselves and their emotions), we gained specific answers. As our bodies are our bio-electro-chemical-vehicles of experience in life, so are our emotions the gauges keeping us notified in real-time of our progress. And just as our automobile gauges indicate problems before they become physical break-downs, so do our emotions give us indications before our bodies and lives physically breakdown. 

Therefore, we are developing an Emotions HUD Translator (conceptually a SmartWatch or App) to assist individuals in learning their emotions as a Heads-Up Display for navigating experiences on purpose; we believe that with emotions clarifying our decisions, rather than confusing them, we can make peaceful progress on all of our existing problems and conflicts personally, socially, communally, and globally. 

Even with an emotion HUD translator, folks still need to learn how to use it. So, we've been building (in Second Life) a free-form roleplaying game (RPG) network that coincides with the scripts we're writing for a Stargate-GenreMash fan-fiction webisode series called "Gate Nexus" which will air for FREE on YouTube.  We aim to use these watching and playing forms of entertainment to give individuals the experience of navigating life with tools already in their arsenal (emotions, conscious decisions, and focus of thought,) without actually being in real-life situations during the initial learning curve. 

See, most of us are already making decisions based on our experiences, we're just not doing it consciously, on purpose, and with full understanding of what our emotions are telling us about our experiences. 

The show provides diverse characters experiencing diverse situations, and using their HUDs to navigate decision-making as examples viewers can learn/experience vicariously through, from the comfort of wherever they are, while the game provides a platform for folks to actively practice using their own HUDs while exploring show-plots further, from within the RPG. 

In this way, people can become familiar with using their emotions as a HUD before actually using their emotions as their HUD for navigating their own, real-life experiences, on purpose.

Long-term, we plan to build Privately Operated Public Rest Stops (POPRS) that are fully self-sustaining centers of culture, peace, and social innovation. 

This begins from the land up by integrating self-sustaining permaculture, earth-ship architecture,  and energy-efficient technology for every center location so that each POPRS has a positive environmental impact on the communities in which they are built, right from the start. 

Likewise, each POPRS will be designed and set-up with a core sustainable business model, based on the needs of the community in which it is built, with all the profits going back into the POPRS center and the community in which it is built. This way, each POPRS also sustains or improves local economies.

Besides food and water, rest is the one thing we all need in common. Therefore, around each POPRS core business and permaculture landscaping, we're designing cultural learn/teach experiences through different forms of rest; from walking, biking, canoeing or kayaking trails to sensory deprivation chambers, from bunkhouses and tiny houses to tent spaces and RV lots, from food gardens and flower gardens to sand gardens and stone gardens, from fire pits and compost pits to mud pits and fun pits, from public kitchens and public parks to public spas and public performance spaces, POPRS is meant to be that safe, real-life place for anyone to hit reset. 

In building a network of POPRS, we aim to unite communities in order to unite our larger societies, which will naturally lead us to our peaceful global civilization. 

People. Everywhere. Affecting. Consciousness. Everywhen.

We know that individual peace of mind, collectively, is the surest path  to world peace, and we also know that it is a conscious choice that cannot be forced upon anyone. Therefore, only those seeking peace are required to tip the balance and shift our social consciousness toward the peaceful state of mind, and as outlined above, we have a solid plan for assisting those folks and the communities in which they are a part.

This website is just the first step, sharing what we know and what we plan to do with the knowledge. World Peace is not just possible, it is inevitable!

The question is: 

What part do you want to play?
