ganizations to
perform research involving a wide variety of topics. Classical Heritage Foundation
OUTLINE OF SERVICES
* The Classics Research Institute (CRI) provides for a
formalized, organized, and academic forum for individuals and organizations to
perform research involving a wide variety of topics.
Such topic areas include science, business, engineering,
international studies, law, history, creative arts, and humanities.
* The CRI acts as a project manager and provides for assistance in tactical matters involving research projects such as coordinating activities of members, providing a means to discuss findings and publish results.
* The Classics Research Institute is the scholars’ corner and students’ classroom for the Classical Heritage Foundation.
Thus, the Classics Research Institute acts like a virtual university - a place of centralized academic activity enabling its participants to learn from each other and work together to refine and expand their research activities.
The topic areas involved within the Classics Research Institute evolve over time and are based on activities of the Foundation’s members. A listing and brief description of select ongoing research projects is given below (by topic area).
RESEARCH PROJECTS
CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY
The Sectarian Project
A cultural assessment project that seeks to explain the cultural and political fissure in America’s society today by postulating that said fissure is not political but is cultural and is based on a divergence of religious values on a fundamental level. The underlying postulates are given below.
1) Judeo-Christian ethics as a means to uphold society’s operations collapsed from within during the 1900s (as socialism replaced spirituality). This resulted in the counter-culture revolution (of the 1960s) rising to a position of social, economic, political, and religious dominance – a societal evolution.
2) This in turn established a new religion – Aquarianism (or New Age Fundamentalism) with its own distinctive religious dogma. Moreover, this new theology asserts that orthodox Judeo-Christian ethics are flawed and must be replaced with New Age Fundamentalist dogma in order to uphold a new perception of the nation’s guiding principles - an ethics displacement.
3) In the process of this cultural evolution, Aquarianism has become entwined with and now dominates the “mainstream” media, academia, the judiciary, most “civil rights” and “environmental rights” organizations, and the democrat political establishment – a state of religious fundamentalism.
4) This shift in ethics has in turn resulted in today’s divergence of American politics and society. Therefore, the fissure in today’s society is not about liberalism and conservatism, but is due to a religious civil war between New Age practitioners and traditional Judeo-Christians – a theology gap.
5) Regardless of the successes/failures of New Age dogma, its application in a heretofore Christian culture irrefutably breaks down orthodox American morality, values, and society, thereby overrunning a Christian culture by a powerful type of societal evolution - a culture shift.
Understanding the history of the nation’s societal evolution provides the means to understand today’s so-called “political” turmoil.
