Adapting the Creation of Society™ Principles to Modern Life
The Universal Presence of COS
Creation of Society™ surrounds us—it is everywhere, accessible to those who seek it sincerely. While COS originated in Greenman, rooted in a culture of resilience, poetry, and agrarian values, its principles are not bound by geography or tradition. COS transcends time and space, evolving with the world while remaining steadfast in its essence.
Greenman gave birth to COS as a harmonious blend of mysticism and pragmatism, but modern life demands a reimagining of these ideas. As monocrops become the norm farming becomes mechanized, and poetry is typed on screens instead of spoken aloud, the essence of COS remains unchanged. The principles of Health, Wealth, Wisdom, and Justice are as relevant now as they were at the beginning.
COS evolves, but it never disappears. It meets us where we are. Contemporary Minds, Contemporary Concepts
Creation of Society™ teaches us that relevance comes through direct experience. Today’s world requires us to adapt the ancient wisdom of COS to modern realities, ensuring its lessons resonate with contemporary seekers. COS thrives in any environment because its essence is universal:
It is timeless: If COS is genuine, it must apply across all cultures, times, and places.
It is practical: COS exists not in abstract theories but in the everyday realities of life.
It is accessible: Anyone can engage with COS, regardless of their background or resources.
To follow COS today is to live with purpose, guided by principles that adapt to any context.
Living COS in the Present
The Masters have always emphasized that COS is not distant or esoteric—it is here, in the mundane and extraordinary alike. COS manifests in both simple and profound ways:
Reading a book, creating art, or nurturing relationships.
Meditating, attending a meeting, or preparing meals with care.
Farming with machines or crafting poetry on computers.
Every action becomes COS when done while conscious of self.
Adapting COS Principles
To live by the Creation of Society™ in today’s world, you must embody its principles in your everyday life:
Direct Experience: Engage with COS through action, not just reflection. Find it in the present moment.
Evolve with the Times: While the methods may change, the principles remain. Embrace tools, technologies, and practices that align with modern life.
Live the Principles: Infuse your actions with Health, Wealth, Wisdom, and Justice. These timeless values are your compass.
See the Sacred in the Everyday: COS exists in the way you approach life—not in distant rituals but in the here and now.
Reflection for the Modern Seeker
How can you adapt ancient principles to your current life circumstances?
What does living with conscious of self mean to you today?
How can the principles of COS help you navigate the challenges of a fast-paced, interconnected world?
Creation of Society™ reminds us that COS is not limited by time, place, or culture. It evolves as we evolve, meeting us in our everyday actions and choices.
When we align with its principles—Health, Wealth, Wisdom, and Justice—we uncover the sacred in the present and create lives of purpose and balance.
In harmony and understanding,
The Creation of Society™ Team
