A Heartfelt Welcome to You
My name is Greg Lawson. I am a naturalist, an artist, a thinker, and a lover of our human privileges on this beautiful planet, Earth.
In a nutshell, I have been on a sixty-five-year odyssey, a love affair with our planet, its people, and its creatures – and, oh, the things I’ve seen and tasted! Throughout this odyssey, I have been an advocate for peaceful coexistence and harmony among the diverse and rich threads that comprise the tapestry of our civilizations.
When we’re born anywhere on Earth, we are naturally subjected to a system or local culture. In this space, we are influenced toward concentrated social mores and standards as we are nurtured along the path of life. A consequence, however, is that we can lose sight of our oneness with the planet and our greater human connection. The further we are from that oneness, the more we can lose compatibility with each other, putting ourselves and our planet at risk.
Aprinia was launched as a resource to rekindle specific light that has been dimmed beneath many, often well-meaning, cultural overlays. Aprinia is an acronym for: A Principles International Accord. Our mission is to promote humanity’s First Principles.
In the same way that we recognize the need for good water, clean air, and adequate sleep as essentials for sustaining a satisfying life, we can find comfort in the basic understanding that humanity has inherently received capacities for self and/or collective governance that, when employed, can benefit our entire global atmosphere..
Our First Principles are the common human values that are shared by all, and can help us make wise choices about electives in many situations. It is a rich legacy embedded within our being and expressed universally among humankind.
Embedded natural values, or first principles, are as free as the rain, as the sun, or as the oxygen we breathe, and they are just as vital for our well-being.
Aprinia’s purpose is to promote these gifts and remind all that we can call upon them in many situations to help mitigate strife or restore balance and a sense of peace to ourselves and to the entire community of our contemporaries.
Aprinia, and its mission to propagate this message of actionable good, is simple. It is as simple to understand as the promotion of good air, water, and sleep. We can’t afford to leave anyone uninformed as to its value. We need help disseminating this message locally, nationally, and globally.
Among our initial actions is an outreach to administrators to invite an accord to acknowledge these vital first principles as a reasonable foundation for all interactions. We are also preparing a campaign to encourage principles-awareness classes to be taught by educators society-wide, such as teaching professionals, thought leaders, and values coaches, and importantly, to parents and guardians everywhere.
Our dissemination task is very large and needs your help. Will you please contribute any amount you can to help increase traction for our action? All proceeds are dedicated to fulfilling the Aprinia educational and motivational mission.
At every level of support, these are the core benefits you will receive: A free subscription to the Odyssey – joining me in historic experiences on a journey that includes:
