The mission of The Realisy ProjectTM is the promotion of consciousness of the underlying unity within our world of diversity. The prophets of many spiritual traditions have proclaimed this unity which is confirmed by the revelation of spiritual experience and the understandings of contemporary science. The truth of our oneness requires our responsibility to care for the world and our fellow beings. The Ring of Truth© aka The Millennium Icon©, symbolically represents this perspective. Its promotion, and that of the consciousness it signifies, is the principal mission of The Realisy ProjectTM, with the goal of fostering spiritual evolution, justice, equity and peace. Profits from the sale of The Ring of Truth© aka The Millennium Icon© imagery are donated to the tax-exempt Ozzy Klate Memorial Fund and other charitable organizations in the spirit of this mission.
These days, spiritual development is generally believed to be about personal and individual attainment of fulfillment as isolated entities, distinct from the whole of creation in which we have our being. Spirituality is commonly seen as unrelated to consciousness of the terrible inequities in distribution of resources among our fellow beings and the systemic exploitation of some people by others. With similar partial vision, it is unfortunately uncommon for those of us who are engaged in efforts of personal spiritual development to devote similar energy and attention to changing the societal structures which serve to oppress our lives and those of our sisters and brothers. It is also uncommon for those of us engaged in the crucial political struggles striving to redress conditions of disempowerment, poverty and exploitation of peoples of our world to recognize our need to also develop our spiritual consciousness. If we do not, we may subvert our worthy goals by contributing our own frustrations, unmet needs and unresolved inner conflicts to already conflictual situations. We believe that authentic spiritual growth carries us progressively deeper into relationship with other beings and all of life. Indeed, the origin and perpetuation of our suffering is a feature of our persistence in the fiction of separateness. We believe this is consistent with the teachings of major prophets and visionaries of the world's great religions and wisdom traditions. We believe that one's spiritual attainment may be witnessed as it is expressed in the balanced concern for the fullest welfare of ourselves and others and the equitable sharing of resources. These attitudes are revelations of the maturity of the capacity to love. These are among the great evidences of virtue, rather than the falsely pious, fear driven, devotion to the narcissistic pursuit of personal aggrandizement which frequently masquerades as wisdom. We hope The Realisy ProjectTM can help this paradigm to evolve, inspiring awareness of the inseparability of spiritual liberation and social equity, reminding us of who we really are and of the power of love to bring us together in peace Many have found that wearing The Ring of Truth© and contemplating its imagery contributes to a sense of centeredness, enhanced engagement with life, and altruistic motivations.
