===Human Development===

* The goal of human development is the descent of consciousness into the body, or the attainment of a high [[Consciousness Quotient]].
* The descent of consciousness, and the attainment of high CQ, occurs naturally and inevitably as the human [[Physical Unit]] matures and develops in a healthy, need satisfied environment.
* The result of high levels of consciousness in the body include: 
** high self-esteem, 
** high sense of entitlement
** recognition of the fundamental divinity and unity of all beings,
** strong feelings of compassion and responsibility for self, children, people, and the planet.
** high levels of mastery in specific areas of expertise.
** strong ability to learn, grow, expand, and adapt.
** strong resistance to social evils like violence, hatred, war, inequality, etc.
** strong support of social good

**Peace, prosperity, and Truth remove disjuncture, create [[alignment]], and open "the door" for the descent of consciousness into the body.
* The [[Purpose of Medicine]] (in whatever form it is practiced, Western, traditional, Eastern, energetic, etc.) is to identify factors which contribute to the health and well being of the [[Physical Unit]], to encourage the dissemination of this knowledge globally and, as a last resort, to return the [[Physical Unit]] to a state of physical and mental health so that the [[Physical Unit]] may be able to handle high levels of consciousness in the body.
