The Un-Directed:   Most people want to be of service but they either have no money or they don’t know how to be of service, or both.   Many people simply feel overwhelmed by the immensity of the problems facing humanity today, so they focus on their own and their family’s survival.   

Others simply live in denial.   They see things like Global Climate Change as a fantasy of the foolish -- as a hippie, tree-huggers fairytale.   Still others think that God, by way of  The Rapture,'  is going to solve all their Earthly problems by sweeping them and their families away into heaven.  

The well-intended:   Most people who do have money and actually do donate it, give it to symptom-treating organizations.    They hope the money actually gets to the poor and needy.   Bureaucracies are notoriously inefficient and, all too often, middlemen end up with most of the money.   

The Solution-Focused:   The vast majority of charitable groups are well intended and vitally needed.    And in addition to treating symptoms, focus also needs to be directed at root causes.   

For most human conflicts, this is not being done.   Many problems would cease to be a problem if root causes to the controversies were being addressed.  For example, about seventy percent of the crime worldwide would disappear if the sales of presently illegal drugs were legalized and drug-misuse was treated as a medical problem only.   (Also, terrorists and other anti-social organizations would lose the source of most of their money.)

Another area that must be addressed is human overpopulation.   This issue is almost completely ignored even though it significantly amplifies and severely aggravates every major problem on the entire planet.

Root Causes:  The core (the foundation) of every problem is located in the belief system of the people creating or participating in the problematic behavior.  One could rightly say that ignorance is the root of all evil.   Why?   Because false or incomplete, or inaccurate beliefs produce destructive or ineffective results. 

Endowment for the Transformation of Consciousness:  TLC-Life-Center is spearheading the creation of a foundation whose purpose is to find, fund, and direct  projects that result in the transformation of human consciousness -- projects that wake people up to the reality around them..   

The foundation directors will choose which projects to pursue.   People will be invited to direct their donations and/or their time and expertise to the projects that interests them.    

Our Outreach Focal Point:  Preserving the Virgin Redwood Forests is designed to be our public forerunner.   This is just one example of altering consciousness.   It teaches and demonstrates how cooperation can produce phenomenal results, such as ending the destruction of the last remaining virgin redwood forests.   This project is examined and explained in detail on the website titled:  

How to Preserve the Last of The Virgin Redwood Forests
