order to meet a critical need in our time: the need for
people of all societies and of all means to be able to
actively participate in the evolution of their selves, their

conflict, it is essential that the individual and the
community together learn what they mean to each other.

as the source of relationship and of creation. The

for the 21st century that will allow individuals and
communities to flourish in their present and to ensure the
same opportunity for future generations.

Dr. Deming - The 5 Deadly Diseases 1984
In 1984 Dr. Deming foresaw the current economic
crisis and the cause. Take a look at this video and you
will learn of the "5 Deadly Diseases" that are at the
heart of the problem.
Dr. Deming said, "A Transformation must take place in
American industry or it will continue on the decline until
the style of American management changes...and they
don't know what to do. 98% don't know there is a
problem or there is anything they can do."
