Convivium:

Not to ever be confused with a commune – where affectivity, positivity, morality, ethicality, et al., be the supposed glue to hold it together – as it most likely will be at times be, due to a lack of precedent, by peoples not in the know. A convivium is something entirely new to human lifestyle arrangements/ structures; as such may the word never be watered-down merely to accommodate those ill-informed.

The Third Alternative

(Peace On Earth In This Life Time As This Flesh And Blood Body)

Here is an actual freedom from the Human Condition, surpassing Spiritual Enlightenment and any other Altered State Of Consciousness, and challenging all philosophy, psychiatry, metaphysics (including quantum physics with its mystic cosmogony), anthropology, sociology ... and any religion along with its paranormal theology. Discarding all of the beliefs that have held humankind in thralldom for aeons, the way has now been discovered that cuts through the ‘Tried and True’ and enables anyone to be, for the first time, a fully free and autonomous individual living in utter peace and tranquillity, beholden to no-one.
