Posts #32 and #33 discussed social architecture and the need to design and create social agencies that proactively support the continuum of development of the individual as a vehicle to develop socially sustainable organizations and societies.  Those efforts will be more effective when social architects appreciate the three values that have sustained our species confirming a Unified Theory of Human Motivation (RUTHM). 

These three values (quality of life, growth and equality) provide a proof that is over 40,000 years old that all people are one.  These values are universally common to every person of the Homo sapiens species, and provide a rational scheme for the development of sustainable social institutions and organizations.  Those universal values prove that “We Are All One.” 

A friend of mine, Bill, who is a very helpful critic of my writing, and a God-believer, called me with several questions he had developed as he read about the three values of our species.  “Why do we have these values and not others; and, why are these values universally typical of our species and no other species?”  I paused for the weight of his questions to sink into his mind before replying, “Think about that a moment.  You are a God-believer, why would our species have these values embedded in our DNA?”

A few moments passed as he formulated the answers to his own questions.  “I suppose it is because our species was prepared as a vehicle for God to experience Itself in each person so It could learn more about Itself in the process of living through the decisions we make.  Although God is perfect, the thing that God does not have is the experience of living.  God can only experience the process of life and living through each of us, as an organism that has the capacity to experience and develop its God-like qualities by becoming more socially sustainable.  These three values were embedded in our DNA because they are the motivating factors that urge us onward to create a better quality of life, and to grow into our potential, which is to become more like God.  Pursuing that goal would mean that a “better quality of life” is not limited to a better physical quality of life, but also a better quality of live involving the social, emotional, mental, intellectual, cultural and spiritual aspects of our lives —  a holistic definition of the ‘quality of life’ at its fullest.”

“That’s a great answer Bill, one that many people probably could appreciate.”
