What is it? This is
a "for-profit" business to provide financial support to
a group of people who are building on our understanding of human
existence in context.
We propose to do this work by charging fees
for consulting and counselling.
We will also seek grants to assist those who may not be able to
afford fees for service.
Definitions:
Consortium
is more than a group of workers with a common goal.
The word implies mutual support and sharing
of resources beyond economic exchange.
It also implies a more temporary arrangement that does not bind
people into any long-term commitment.
Ontology is a branch of philosophy
which concerns itself about the nature of existence.
For human beings, this describes our natural
existence on Earth or our beingness in Nature.
www.sounding-board.org has
been created as the vehicle for us to discover what is a truly natural
existence among other human beings and other species on Earth.

Detailed Consideration:
Whether or not the universe and its control mechanisms actually
exists beyond our imagination, as humans, we can all agree that
we exist on earth.
Also, we have learned that Nature prefers some
things to occur rather than others. This implies an idea of purpose
for our being and preferred ways of being. Pleasure and pain are
often signals of this.
This sense of direction has been called Teleology. However, many
scientists have shunned this concept. It is at odds with
ideas of chance or randomness in nature. Yet, this objection may
seem strange to the rest of us. After all, science has been devoted
to seeking laws and principles, which show Nature is an orderly
context.
Do we need this "orderly view" for reassurance, or is
there some inherent sense that Nature orderly and predictable, although
often appearing chaotic?
Thus, we hope to work together in a place
beyond the constraints of social and natural sciences; a place beyond
dogma and vested interests of group boundaries; a respectful place
where we agree to never automatically critical of another's ideas,
no matter how strange they seem.
Some will wish a long association while others will contribute and
receive as needed in a shorter time!
