FACTnet, Online Education on Climate Change and Social Justice Issues Since 1993

(7.2.26 Please note, we are just beginning a major mission, fundraising and staffing upgrade of the Factnet website and organization to reflect our new four-website-driven Great Rebirth mission plan and vision.)

About Us and Our New Mission Focus

Our 33-year-old IRS-approved 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization, Factnet, operates several unique websites, each with distinct yet interconnected educational missions. Together, our four main websites, Universe Institute, Job One For Humanity, the Way of the Universe, and the Universe Spirit, will offer a complete pathway from:

a. Preparing for, adapting to, and mitigating the climate change emergency to,

b. Educating about the growing global Polycrisis to,

c.  Teaching basic to advanced rational thinking, analysis, and problem-solving skills to,

d. Encouraging and assisting in building local system resilience to,

e. Designing and supporting new sustainable economies to,

f.  Promoting action on the needed and correct polycrisis remedies,

g.  Teach teaching how to expand inner resilience and personal existential depth, and which all of the above collectively lead to,

h. Moving our current civilization toward a just and sustainable Great Rebirth and renewal which truly supports the common well-being of all members of the human family.

 

Our Four Main Websites

  1. Job One For Humanity provides practical guidance on climate and polycrisis survival, adaptation, resilience, and migration.
  2. The Universe Institute helps people understand the polycrisis and develop the rational thinking, metacognition, systems analysis, and DMAP problem-solving skills needed for wise action.
  3. The Way of the Universe offers a new evolution and science-grounded philosophy of right action, right attitude, cooperation, and ethical rebuilding.
  4. The Universe Spirit provides a safe, non-coercive meta-spirituality for exploring life’s deepest existential questions and meanings, consciousness, and the Origin of the universe.

Together, these four sites educate about and support the movement from polycrisis and climate emergency awareness to preparation and adaptation, from preparation and adaptation to right action, from right action to deeper inner resilience, and from the transitional ongoing polycrisis collapse process (at either the local, regional, national, or international levels) to the Great Rebirth of humanity.

We are looking for people who want to help make our vision happen and become active Evolutioneers:
individuals committed to improving themselves
thinking more clearly
protecting life
reducing suffering
building resilience
helping seed a wiser future.
people who recognize that their responsibilities extend beyond nation, tribe, ideology, generation, to the whole Earth community, future generations, and the larger unfolding universe.

The Current Status of our Four Websites' Mission and Vision Upgrade Plan

We will post our complete four-website upgrade plan on this website in the near future. Executing the above-described massive upgrade will depend entirely on securing substantial additional financing and hiring new team members to support specific areas of web development, administration, marketing, fundraising, and related functions. With our current staffing level and finances, we are unable to implement our new vision.

While the Job One for Humanity website is mostly complete in its climate change information, it has not been updated to reflect its new, refined mission, and many pages need to be simplified for a general audience rather than the scientific community. The Universe Institute website needs to complete its three basic, intermediate, and advanced rational-thinking guides, as well as several large research projects and new white papers that will help inform actions on other websites.

The Way of the Universe website is in the early stages of construction, and its public launch depends entirely on the completion of research at the Universe Institute. The New Universe Spirit website is in the middle of a major mission refocusing and the organized transfer of almost 1,000 pages of materials from its 20-year-old website to the new website. This is a huge undertaking, about 15% complete. Additionally, the major mission upgrade at the Universe Spirit website also depends on research being completed at the Universe Institute. Because all of these websites are undergoing major upgrades, your patience in reviewing them is appreciated.

If what we are attempting to do is worthwhile to you and you are willing to contribute either financially or with your skill set, please email us and let us know how you would like to contribute and how much time you have available.

Our Initial Funding and Staffing Targets Needed to Launch our New Mission Focus and Great Rebirth Vision

To begin our new Great Rebirth mission and vision, the following are the minimum targets we must meet to actually start the process: funding between $250,000 and $400,000, and adding at least 2 to 3 paid staff. To start with, any lack of funding and staffing would prevent us from effectively beginning or completing the work and launching the new mission website to the public.

UNIVERSE_Spirit_logo

Universe Spirit exists to provide a safe, non-coercive, well-bounded space for exploring life’s deepest existential and metaphysical questions. Its deeper hope is that through honest study, reflection, inner practice, and comparison across traditions, individuals may discover for themselves whether the origin, ground, energy, or consciousness of the universe is also present within them and may be identical with their deepest nature. Universe Spirit does not demand belief. It invites disciplined exploration, direct experience, humility, and ethical transformation.  We invite disciplined exploration and hope our educational materials help you awaken to new possibilities.
