Manifesto of Science Abbey
We are builders of the Inner Temple.
Scientists of Spirit.
Alchemists of Mind.
And caretakers of a world in transformation.
At Science Abbey, we believe that Enlightenment is not a relic of the past—but a future we must create, together.
Our Vision
We envision a civilization grounded in wisdom, guided by reason, and sustained by compassion—a society where science and human values illuminate a path toward global flourishing. In an era defined by crisis and complexity, Science Abbey stands as a sanctuary for intellectual clarity, ethical purpose, and inner development.
Our Mission
To cultivate a global culture of scientific humanism—uniting the rigor of science with the depth of spiritual inquiry. Through education, dialogue, and transformative practice, we seek to awaken mature, responsible, and self-aware citizens equipped to navigate and heal a divided world.
Our Founding Principles
- Truth Through Inquiry
All beliefs must be open to examination. We champion the scientific method as humanity’s most reliable tool for understanding the world—and we extend this spirit of inquiry to the study of the self, society, and the sacred. - Wholeness of the Human Being
Human development is not limited to intellect. Emotional maturity, ethical integrity, contemplative insight, and creative expression are vital to personal and collective evolution. - Unity of Knowledge and Wisdom
We restore the broken bridge between science and spirituality—not through dogma or supernaturalism, but through disciplined exploration of consciousness, meaning, and human potential. - Education as Transformation
Our work begins with learning. But true education does not end in knowledge alone—it awakens moral courage, ecological consciousness, and civic responsibility. - Service to Humanity and Earth
Our practices are not escapist. The Abbey exists to anchor action in clarity. We are called to serve—not just our own development—but the healing and progress of the planet and all its peoples.
Our Programs and Initiatives
- The Global Civic Curriculum
A secular, science-based education for 21st-century citizens—rooted in logic, ethics, critical thinking, global history, environmental literacy, and emotional intelligence. - The Human Maturity Initiative
A campaign to foster emotional and intellectual maturity as public goods. We research, teach, and promote the psychological foundations of wise self-governance. - The Scientific Humanist Democracy Project
A living framework for aligning governance with reason, equity, and scientific integrity. We support democratic systems built on evidence, rights, and long-term sustainability. - The Inner Science Lab
A space for studying and cultivating consciousness through meditation, neuroscience, philosophy, and contemplative traditions from around the world. - The Temple of Peace
A symbolic and strategic model for global transformation—built upon seven levels of reform and four pillars of cooperation, culminating in a world of shared peace, prosperity, and planetary citizenship.
Our Ethical Foundations
We affirm the dignity and equality of every person.
We reject superstition, dogma, and authoritarianism in all forms.
We honor science as a method, not a belief system.
We draw from ancient wisdom without clinging to outdated ideologies.
We practice compassion not as sentiment, but as a discipline of action.
We take responsibility for the future of Earth as stewards, not owners.
