Brave New Child
liberating the children of liberia and the world
One courageous teacher and twenty children of war are changing the world - one Lesson at a time.
“There have been many theories put forward as causes of the Liberian civil war — including unemployment, abuse of human rights, political patronage, illiteracy, lack of development and tribalism, among others. While it is true that all of these factors may have contributed, at the heart of the Liberian conflict — as with all global conflicts —is psychological conditioning, the fundamental cause of human conflict.” - From the book Brave New Child - Liberating the Children of Liberia - and the World

Why Is Everybody Always Picking on Us?
A Mini Museum on Understanding the Roots of Prejudice
In today's world, there is prejudice that creates bullying everywhere – at home, at school, in offices, among nations. There are ongoing attempts to stop the bullying that prejudice creates yet it still goes on. The question we need to ask is what creates this prejudice? Is the cause outside myself – with the "other" – or does it begin in my brain?"
Once we understand how prejudice begins, where it starts – we can stop acting out of it.

Are We Born Hardwired for War?
Is combat in our DNA?
Most honest combat vets will tell you, perhaps not eloquently but in their own way, the same thing: essentially that combat is in our human DNA and demands to be exercised... The question is, Can we humans evolve peacefully, or will we succumb to instincts we can’t transcend?”
– Quote from former Marine Corp helicopter pilot in Vietnam

a Quest for innocence
Can we bring about an ethical understanding, a mind that is virtuous, innocent, untouched by conventional moralistic thinking?

Shadows of Ancient Ancestors
Our main intent in publishing this book of these personal letters is to encourage everyone to look at what prevents peace ~ and therefore, what creates conflict. This is the fundamental concern for the future of
humanity. For if we refuse to look at the underlying factors that prevent peace, we will forever be creating conflict.
The foundation of a humane and intelligent society is open-minded, enlightened free inquiry, that is, the freedom to think without any restrictions or pressure due to fear or coercion of any kind.
In this way people can intelligently question the underlying conditioning that creates this fragmentation. |

the complete guide to the bully/victim cycle
Thinking that bullying behavior, especially in war, is inevitable is a part of the conditioned thinking that creates bullying behavior in the first place. “Boys will be boys” is a conditioned type of thinking that has let this happen. When we start to realize that this is only conditioned thinking and start taking this vital concern seriously will we then create real bully programs in our schools that explore bullying from the playground to the battlefield. |
