The Truth Beauty and Goodness Commission

On November 14, 2015 the Universal Father brought to my attention the following information and requests via my Thought Adjuster. 

FATHER: Reboot (reestablish) the church that My Son, your elder brother and friend to all, commonly know as Jesus of Nazareth (a.k.a. Joshua ben Joseph) inaugurated nearly 2000 years ago. This church barely lasted 100 years before it deteriorated to the point where it was able to succumb to attacks, and now it is time for it to rise again.

A new era of enlightenment is now upon your world and I have prepared the way for the return of the church that Jesus founded in the spirit of The Fatherhood of God, and the Brotherhood of Man. Do not follow the example of past and present churches, as I am instituting a new paradigm in order to upstep and reorient the concept and use of religion on your world. I have prepared the soil, now you plant the seed, and it will grow into something your world has never seen before, and it will be good.

Resurrect this church and name it the Truth Beauty and Goodness Commission. Prepare it and make it ready for when Jesus will once again walk on your world, to be seen with your eyes, and touched by your hands. As well as this name, I also give the church a symbol. Three round dots:    one representing Truth, another representing Beauty, and the third representing Goodness. Prepare the necessary instructions to ensure the name and symbol I give to My church will be understood and used with dignity, for that will be pleasing to Me.

Upon his return, and at a time of My choosing, I will instruct My Son Jesus, to relieve you and once again take control of My church, so that you may continue serving me in other ways. Until then, I place you as the interim, or acting head of My church, as the Chief Apostle.

The pattern that Jesus used to build My church is still good. Use it, and apply the modern embellishments necessary to make it contemporary and pleasing, so that all my sons and daughters will find it welcoming and charming. As it is in your universe where there are Melchizedek sons, Vorondadek sons, and Lanonandek sons, each contributing according to their abilities, likewise follow this pattern and organize My church using this effective three level system: Apostles, Evangelists, and Disciples.

Apostles will be the primary overseers, teachers and emergency workers and will focus largely on the primary church operations. Evangelists will broadcast the good news and be the controllers and overseers of My flock. Disciples will comprise the bulk of the flock and they will be the administrators of the routine affairs of the church. Again, as it is in your universe, all will be studentsand teachers of those who come up behind them. Subdivide these three main levels according to ability and merit as will be required. Within these three levels, keep things simple and adaptable.

It is written in your Urantia Book that "the ideal human estate is that in which philosophy, religion, and science are welded into a meaningful unity by the conjoined action of wisdom, faith, and experience." Unity is at the core of all My vast and wonderful creation. Your world and civilization has never been unified. The search for Truth Beauty and Goodness invariably leads to wisdom, and this must become a key factor in the unification of your civilization and entire world.

To help begin the unification of your civilization and entire world, which will take many generations to complete, I designate My church as the custodian of your world's past, present, future, and ever growing collection of wisdom. Build a global library of wisdom using the best technology that is available. My Apostles will oversee it, My Evangelists will promote it, and My Disciples will administer it, for the benefit of all mankind, and in so doing, disunity will increasingly be replaced by unity, and that will be pleasing to Me.

Do not shun the past. Respect and remember it, but do not worship it or pay it undue attention. In this light you shall regard your ancient scriptures and rituals. They are all worthy of respect, and they contain much value, but their time has passed. They will forever be artifacts of your past epochs, and must never be allowed to delay your progress toward Light and Life. They must give way to the new paradigm that I am instituting. Your world is now in its fifth epoch and I have provided, and will continue to provide revelatory information suitable for your level of development. Your world has already received two major written revelations within this fifth epoch, and they are fitting for My church. A formal cosmology known as The Urantia Book, and a personal account of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, dictated by Jesus himself in his own words, and is known as Jesus Christ – I speak to you again. My church shall in no way limit itself to these two written revelations, as more revelations are arriving on a regular basis, and all are worthy of consideration.

My church shall not become the custodian of these epochal revelations, however the wisdom they contain may be included in, and become part of the global library of wisdom. I AM the Universal Father, and this concludes your Commission. Carry it out faithfully, protect it diligently, and deliver it joyously to My Son Jesus when he returns, for that will be pleasing to Me.

END

Respectfully,

Bryan Guignard

TBG Style Guide

This TBG site — tbgcommission.org is built using the BookStack wiki app. BookStack was chosen because of its simplicity and effectiveness at publishing simple web pages. This also means that BookStack uses a simple styling approach and an optional page template tool. TBG uses both styling and templates.

BookStack does not offer direct access to html stylesheets (css). All styling is accessed through the standard wordprocessor tool bar in the wysiwyg page editor, or via the optional markdown editor. In the wysiwyg editor there is also a tool for accessing the page source code (third tool button from the right) where some additional page refinements can be made.

The Golden Rule of BookStack publishing!

When using the wysiwyg page editor:

NEVER copy content from a source outside of BookStack, and paste it directly into the wysywig editor panel. This will often bring all sorts of useless code into your BookStack page, significantly increase the filesize for that page, and potentially cause all sorts of annoying problems.

ALWAYS paste content from an outside source into the Source Code console (third tool button from the right) and verify that you are getting clean code. The Source Code console does a good job of stripping away useless code and making your pasted content conform to BookStack.

There are two exceptions to this Golden Rule.

Exception 1: You can ignore this rule when you copy and paste pure BookStack content from tbgcommission.org.
Exception 2: You can ignore this rule when you copy and paste pure ASCII text content from any external source.

---

Fonts

TBG Commission uses the default sans serif font-face built into BookStack for all of its content, unless a special circumstance should dictate otherwise. In regards to font-face choice, TBG values consistency over artistic liberty. In special cases where more artistic text treatments may be required, it is recommended that an external wordprocessor, graphics package or page layout system be used and the final document be made into a PDF for distribution and or printing.

When using en external document creation tool, you must ensure that the source file(s) and software remain accessible to TBG Commission for future use.

---

TBG Logos and Signatures

Maintaining a consistent Truth Beauty and Goodness Commission identity is very important, and for that reason TBG uses only approved logos and signatures on all its content, both public facing and private. Logos and Signatures are addressed separately in the TBG Signature Guide.

---

Graphics

TBG Commission will use any suitable graphics package as long as it can output to suitable formats such as PNG, SVG, WebM, WebP, PDF. When using en external graphics creation tool, you must ensure that the source file(s) and software remain accessible to TBG Commission for future use.

BookStack has a built-in graphics package, draw.io, that is fairly powerful and is easily accessible from the wysiwyg editor's toolbar by clicking on the right most tool button with three dots and choosing from the fly our menu.

---

We like to KISS!

Keep It Short and Simple! Simplicity is a key design principle. The easier something is to understand and use – the more likely it is to be adopted and engaged with. KISS, “Keep It Short and Simple” is thus a great rule of thumb to be applied when considering your design work in a larger context of usage. However, it is also important not to make things so simple that they compromise the functionality of the final design – users will live with a little complexity if it enhances their overall experience.

TBG Signature Guide

To users of the Truth Beauty and Goodness signature

This Signature Guide has been prepared for your benefit and contains guidelines and specifications for identifying the Truth Beauty and Goodness Commission, and for correctly using its name and signature (emblem).

The official name, as received in the Commission is:   Truth Beauty and Goodness    (using “&” is not permitted).

In form it is to be written exactly as shown above, by capitalizing the first letter of the first, second, and fourth words, and keeping the third word in lower case. Depending on the context, the word Commission with the first letter capitalized, may be added after the word Goodness. Appropriate punctuation can be used before and after the name, but the words that make up the name must never be divided by punctuation, dashes, slashes, uneven spacing or any other text treatment that will make it appear different from how it is displayed on the first line of this paragraph. This text only form of the name is to be used in copy text, and wherever a text only reference to the Commission is to be made. The typeface, font size, and appropriate styling shall be consistent with the intended use and the surrounding text. It should be written as normal text, and when necessary it can be italicized, or bolded, but never both in combination. Refer to the TBG Commission's official TBG Style Guide for additional guidance.

The signature is the official trademark and emblem of the Truth Beauty and Goodness Commission. Its specifications and usage rules are detailed in this booklet. It should be used in all cases where the Commission is to be identified symbolically by using a logo or emblem, whether publicly or privately. It should be treated with respect, and used with the intent of identifying the Commission and promoting and supporting the three values it represents: Eternal truth, universal beauty, and divine goodness.

Guidelines for using the signature

To preserve the integrity, strength and value of this signature (logotype and logo), you must use it correctly and consistently by following these guidelines.

DO's

• Use the primary signature whenever possible.
• Display the signature only in the forms specified by these guidelines.
• Keep the signature logotype and logo together. One exception is permissible, and that is for text only media. 
  Other exceptions are allowed only by permission.

DON'Ts

• Do not use the secondary signature unless the primary signature will not work in a specific situation.
• Do not alter the signature or any of its elements. Never use the logo (three circles) without the logotype.
• Do not combine the signature with any other element, logo, words, graphics, photos, slogans or symbols that might create a hybrid signature.
• Do not translate the signature's logotype into another language, or another character set such as Chinese, Russian or Arabic, without prior permission. Two permissible exceptions are Braille and sign language.
• Do not display the signature in a way that suggests another group or organization is part of the
  Truth Beauty and Goodness Commission, or that it is part of something else.
  Should such unions or partnerships occur, different signatures must be used to represent them.

Sample text treatments of the Commission's name for use in copy text

Normal text sample

The signature is the official trademark and emblem of the Truth Beauty and Goodness Commission.  Its specifications and usage rules are detailed in this booklet. It should be used in all cases where the Commission is to be identified symbolically by using a logo or emblem, whether publicly or privately. It should be treated with respect, and used with the intent of identifying the Commission and promoting and supporting the three values it represents: Eternal truth, universal beauty, and divine goodness.

Italicized text sample (for emphasis)

The signature is the official trademark and emblem of the Truth Beauty and Goodness Commission. Its specifications and usage rules are detailed in this booklet. It should be used in all cases where the Commission is to be identified symbolically by using a logo or emblem, whether publicly or privately. It should be treated with respect, and used with the intent of identifying the Commission and promoting and supporting the three values it represents: Eternal truth, universal beauty, and divine goodness.

Bolded text sample (for strong emphasis)

The signature is the official trademark and emblem of the Truth Beauty and Goodness Commission. Its specifications and usage rules are detailed in this booklet. It should be used in all cases where the Commission is to be identified symbolically by using a logo or emblem, whether publicly or privately. It should be treated with respect, and used with the intent of identifying the Commission and promoting and supporting the three values it represents: Eternal truth, universal beauty, and divine goodness.

Never use italics and bold in combination:  Truth Beauty and Goodness Commission       <-------   Not acceptable.

Underlined text

Should be avoided as a form of emphasis unless the situation expressly requires underlining. One such case is when using the Commission’s name as a hyperlink.  Truth Beauty and Goodness

Shadowed text

Should not be used without prior permission.

Outlined text

Should not be used without prior permission.

Superscript and subscript

Should not be used without prior permission. It is hard to conceive of any situation where this would be required.

Line and page breaks

All reasonable effort should be made to avoid line breaks within the Commission's name when it is used in static documents (such as but not limited to print documents). When it cannot be avoided by using acceptable text and page treatments, then and only then is a line break permissible. Splitting the name of the Commission across two pages, or across two or more structural elements of a layout is not permitted under any circumstances.  Adequate page and paragraph flow controls must be used to ensure the Commission’s name remains intact.

For obvious reasons this rule may be impracticable with dynamic and reflowable documents such as web pages and formats intended for small devices, and in such cases this rule may be overlooked.

Signature components

Primary signature. Preferred usage. Logotype on top, logo centered below.

Secondary signature. Use only when the primary signature is not workable.

Signature typeface

The signature typeface (font) is Source Sans Pro. The font size will vary according to the use, but as a general rule for letter size documents, and as shown in the two examples above, Source Sans Pro 16 point is used.

Rotated signature

It is permissible to rotate the primary and secondary signatures 90 degrees clockwise, or 90 degrees counterclockwise for special use cases such as vertical banners and sidebars. The signature must never appear upside down. Never stack the logotype letters vertically, as shown in Sample A.

Spacing and proportions

Primary signature

Never use less than the minimum clear space, as shown. Never re-proportion the signature or any of its elements.

Trademark symbol

There are several ways of generating the  ™  symbol and each way offers different spacing options. You should
attempt to align it to the baseline as shown, while maintaining an acceptable amount of horizontal spacing similar to the examples shown here. Keep it small, 10 point is used in this document.

Secondary signature

All proportions and spacing for the secondary signature are the same as the primary signature unless otherwise noted. 
Logotype and logo must align on the same baseline as shown below.

Color usage 

Any solid color is permissible, and applies to primary and secondary signatures.

Single color version

A black and a green single color examples.

Two color version

Acceptable:

• Only solid colors.
• Logotype and logo may use different colors.
• All logotype words must be the same color.
• All logo circles (dots) must be the same color.

Two color examples.

Unacceptable styling

Not acceptable: mixed colors and shades, shadows, hatches, images, graphics, symbols.

A few examples of unacceptable styling.

Signature backgrounds

Only single color backgrounds are permissible.

Black background: Logotype and logo colors may vary but should offer sufficient contrast against the background.

Colored background: Logotype and logo colors may vary but should offer sufficient contrast against the background and be color blind safe.

Colored background specifications are the same for the secondary signature.

Other backgrounds

Hatches, images, graphics, symbols, photos, drawings, gradients, and any background treatment other than solid colors are not permitted.

Size and scaling

Primary signature
Never use this signature smaller than 12 point font.

Secondary signature
Never use this signature smaller than 12 point font.

Additional considerations

3D signature
Never render the logotype (the text part of the signature) in 3D. The logo (three circles) may be rendered in 3D as three opaque spheres of solid color, all the same size, with the same lighting effect applied to each sphere.

Animated signature
Animating the signature is allowed only by permission.

Avatar and icon
A small rendition of the signature for online use as an avatar or icon is permitted. The logotype may be reduced to the three upper case bolded letters T  B  G with two spaces in between each letter and the three dots directly below. 

The previously stated rules for coloring, background, scaling etc shall apply. 

Icon examples.

Note: an all white (with transparent background) version of this icon is used as the logo in the top left hand corner of tbgcommission.org

GLoW Project Documents

Executive Summary

December 2023 

This project is being carried out under the aegis of the 
Truth Beauty and Goodness Commission.

I – Project purpose

Wisdom gathering about successes and failures.

The Global Library of Wisdom (GLoW) concept is suggested as a highly desirable asset for Urantia's planetary progress towards achieving Light and Life status. GLoW will have the dual purpose of 1) preserving and 2) disseminating wisdom related to Light and Life issues. 

As an Information Technology system the GloW will be a publicly available online knowledge base that will capture and aggregate the best available wisdom, or best practices that can be applied to promote sustainability and wide spread stability. GLoW will also document known strategies that have led to major failures. GLoW will cover all the major sectors (as outlined in the GLoW directory) inherent to personal growth, planetary management and societal progress. In simple terms, GLoW will be a significant and curated collection of Best Practices (foresight) and Bad Practices (hindsight).

Consideration will be given to archives that have helped guide mankind toward a stable unification of society. Since we are a civilisation that has often lacked adequate planetary management, our historical record has significant gaps in it, especially in relation to wisdom pertaining to the achievement of Light and Life status. In order to help fill in these gaps, numerous revelatory initiatives have been put in place as co-creative endeavors between adequately trained human and spiritual personalities.

Global Library of Wisdom for guidance.

Today’s nations have no formulated policy on how to resolve their great problems. This points to the imminent fact of elements that contribute to the instability of our world. Our nations, societies and their institutions were never formed with the underlying intention to become sustainable. A civilisation that lives under the constant and destabilising threat and actuality of war and destruction does not logically make any plans for the distant future. Making it even more difficult is the fact that there is no library of wisdom of what works and what doesn’t, to assist political, economic, scientific and social decision-makers on how to proceed sustainably in difficult situations. This will be seen in the future as a “no brainer,” that there must be a base of wisdom, of what works and what doesn’t work, to guide the decisions that affect so many people. There are, in fact, a number of problems in our contemporary societies and their operation that will be seen in the future as silly—not to have thought about that, and to not plan for a sustainable future.

A library of wisdom is essential.

There has never been a library of wisdom to guide decision-making leading to Light and Life status, whether as a father or mother, family, community, state or a nation, and in recent generations as a global scale civilization. There are actions that support continuity, durability and stability, and actions that do not. There are actions that, in fact, are detrimental to the sustainability of families and nations. It is now time that someone begins to develop such a library of mankinds sustaining and stabilising wisdom, refined into logical categories, containing concise information, and made readily accessible to everyone. There are certain rules, certain proofs, certain truths that when broken they will surely bring about eventual social decline and collapse.

II – Our vision and design of GLoW

The Truth Beauty and Goodness Commission (TBG) operates as much as possible with Free Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) as part of our Sustainability policy and this is reflected in our choice of software for GLoW.

GLoW is to be built as a digital repository of wisdom. No physical (paper) copies will be produced by TBG, but means will be available to users of the system wishing to produce printed media of portions of the GLoW data set, all of which is organized as books, chapters and pages.

Physical documents will be digitized as high resolution imagery then Optical Character Recognition (OCR) will be applied to these images to transform them into electronic text that can be edited to suit the needs of GLoW. The high resolution imagery will be archived separately from GLoW for safe keeping using the ISO standard PDF/A archival format which will ensure an archive lifespan of up to 1000 years, in conformance with the requirements of wise planetary management.

The back end of GLoW will be a robust electronic database software application sufficient for handling the large quantities of data that GLoW will collect. The front end Graphical User Interface (GUI) to be used for DATA INPUT by staff members and collaborators should be simple and effective to use. Some training of staff members will be required, and the required skill level to learn the system should be moderate to low.

The front end Graphical User Interface (GUI) to be used by everyone for searching should be simple and effective to use and well documented. Minimal user training for learning the search parameters may be required, and the required skill level to learn the system should be moderate to low.

GLoW will be accessible by everyone with internet access using a modern web browser and a reasonably fast internet connection. Every effort will be made to construct GLoW so that it will also work well on many types of devices such as laptop computers, tablets and smart phones, while keeping the technical requirements for its use as low as possible.

Project Description

December 2023 

This project is being carried out under the aegis of the 
Truth Beauty and Goodness Commission.

I – What is the Global Library of Wisdom (GLoW)?

GLoW is a knowledge base built with a wiki system called BookStack.

BookStack website: https://www.bookstackapp.com
Screenshots: https://www.bookstackapp.com/#screenshots
Documentation: https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/

The BookStack system uses a bookshelf metaphor, where shelves are used to contain collections of books, with each book consisting of chapters and pages. Each book page essentially consists of a simple yet elegant html web page which holds the primary content of the knowledge base.

The shelves, books and chapters are used primarily as content structuring tools, but also serve as user friendly and intuitive navigational aids for logically and easily drilling down to specific portions of content by offering the user both a breadcrumb trail and an expandable hierarchical table of contents.

Like any good digital knowledge base the BookStack system comes equipped with a versatile and powerful built-in Search tool (Meilisearch) for doing keyword searches.

The BookStack Release v22.09 aims for at least WCAG 2.1 Level A standards for accessibility. 

II – How will GLoW be built?

There are three primary aspects to building the GLoW knowledge base.

1. Acquiring a working instance of the BookStack system. The initial production instance of BookStack has been secured, as of November 2023, as a fully functional and managed service from: https://www.stellarhosted.com/bookstack/ Refer to the project Budget document for financial details.
2. Designing the overall logical structure (directory) of the knowledge base, which means designing the necessary shelves, books and chapters. The option of adding new structural elements as the knowledge base grows will always remain open, and will be easy to accomplish due to the flexible nature of the BookStack system.
3. Populating the GLoW knowledge base with appropriate wisdom. There will be an initial heavy input of existing content during the first 12 to 24 months, after which time content will continue to be added but at a significantly reduced pace as new sources of wisdom gradually become available.

III – Constraints

During the 2023-2024 period the main constraint is financial. The current budget allows for the ongoing payment of approximately USD $50.00 per month for the Standard package deal provided by https://www.stellarhosted.com/bookstack/

It is anticipated that this Standard package will provide sufficient features and bandwidth for this initial one year period. If at any time during or after the first year period, the requirements for the system should increase enough to warrant a package upgrade to Premium, then the cost would double to approximately USD $100.00 per month. If an upgrade to the Custom package should be required then the cost would triple to approximately USD $150.00 per month or more depending on the level of customization required.

Project Authorization

December 2023 

This project is being carried out under the aegis of the 
Truth Beauty and Goodness Commission.

I – Project Authorization

Machiventa's updated request to build a Global Library of Wisdom (project scope has been redefined).

Missing the transcript where Machiventa narrowed the scope to matters pertaining only to progress toward Light and Life status.

CTAG #19 transcript - October 16, 2023

We have always had little groups here and there all over the place, each one kind of working independently on their own and some have survived the three decades plus of this Teaching Mission and are a tremendous repository of wisdom and service.

So, we are in the very beginning stages of trying to envision how to create a repository of expertise and make available to our brothers and sisters our collective wisdom and experience so that it's there when it's needed.

Machiventa's original request to build a Global Library of Wisdom (project scope was too big)

Bryan Guignard - Sponsor Mar 2, 2017.

Machiventa Melchizedek presented the people of Urantia with the concept of a Global Library of Wisdom. Some of the transmissions from Machiventa referring to this are listed below. More references will be added as they are discovered.

From New Era Transition #04 – Evolution of Democracies, Oct 3, 2016.

Machiventa: As we have said as well, we hope that eventually there would one day be a library of sustaining human wisdom, so that what works is retained, and what does not work is also set aside to show and demonstrate to the readers and patrons of this library what does not work. We know that what does not work is often forgotten, similarly as the pangs of birth are forgotten by the mother in her great joy for her new child. So too, must this reality remain with you, but not agonize you; it must in fact, give you hope that through the positive and constructive wisdom that is retained, you have confidence that you can make improvements on a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and decade basis to improve your societies. When hope is gone, then confidence becomes vacant; it is essential that you have confidence in the knowledge of what works from the past to begin the inception of new dimensions of inventiveness, socially, politically and economically.

July 20, 2015 – From New Era Conversations #51 – Democracy and Its Evolution.
Machiventa Melchizedek, Planetary Manager. 

A library of wisdom is essential. 

We have mentioned in the past that there has never been a library of wisdom to guide decision-making, whether as a father or mother, family, community, state or a nation. There are actions that support continuity and sustainability, and actions that do not. There are actions that in fact, are detrimental to the sustainability of a family or nation. We estimate that eventually someone, sometime, somewhere will begin to develop such a library of humanity’s sustaining wisdom, and that they will be funded with knowledge and wisdom that comes from all the history of human societies and humankind, throughout all its history, and contemporarily, from all the millions of social research projects that have ever been completed, and that these will eventually be summarized into categories for social sustainability, social and societal sustainability, political and governmental sustainability, and financial and economic sustainability. There are certain rules, certain proofs, certain truths in those three areas that are invariably linked, that when broken they will surely bring about eventual social decline and collapse.

July 6, 2015 – From New Era Conversations #50 – Destabilizing World; Trust; Government.
Machiventa Melchizedek, Planetary Manager. 

There is no library of wisdom for guidance 

These nations have no formulated policy on how to resolve these great problems. This points to the imminent fact of elements that contribute to the instability of your world, if not the anticipation of the future. Your nations and societies and institutions were never formed with an underlying intention to become sustainable, so when these events develop they are new and they are difficult. What is worse (or as bad) that makes it difficult is that there is no library of wisdom of what works and what does not work, to assist political and economic and social decision-makers how to proceed in difficult situations. This will be seen in the future as a “no brainer,” that there must be a base of wisdom of what works and what does not work to guide the decisions that effect so many people. There are, in fact, a number of problems in your contemporary societies and their operation that will be seen in the future as silly—not to have thought about that, and to not plan for a future with the variables.

Mar. 30, 2015 – From New Era Conversations #43 – Peace; Intention; 3 Core Values.
Teachers: Mantutia Melchizedek, Regional Manager and Projects Coordinator, and Machiventa Melchizedek, Planetary Manager 

Wisdom gathering about successes and failures.

It is paramount in these projects that somewhere along the line that your historians stop writing about the history of failures and successes, but also become historians of wisdom—human sustainable wisdom—not just in archives that are hidden away, but actual, operational libraries that are online for gathering wisdom about the various aspects of human living and human societies, and human conduct, and human commerce. Wisdom gathering has been done by many people, some of you have read in Nancy J. Turner’s two book set “Ancient Pathways: Ancestral Knowledge,” that the indigenous people of North America in the Northwest have a history of many, many centuries of wisdom gathering concerning the use of herbs and plants for their daily use in thousands of different ways. They have done wisdom gathering to enhance their survival and their sustainability, and have been successful, at least until the invasion of the Anglo-Saxon Europeans who came to this continent in the 17th Century. Now, those wisdoms are being lost to the detriment of the sustainability of those indigenous cultures. Yet, your world, your civilization of Urantia is a culture unto itself that must begin gathering wisdom about its stability and sustainability, and particularly it must become a learning civilization, a learning organization to learn how to adapt to changing conditions.

I – Project risks

• Old age.
• Limited funding.
• Software end of life. BookStack is open source, so this is less risky since we will have access to the code base even if the software should no longer be developed or supported.
• Hosting service provider (small company). Stability of this company cannot be determined.
• Potential objections from the Urantia community (copyright issues)???

Introduction

What is the Global Library of Wisdom (GLoW)?

GLoW is a digital knowledge base that has been specifically curated to contain data that is categorized as wisdom. Wisdom in this case pertains to what is commonly referred to as best practices, and their opposite, bad practices.

The Global Library of Wisdom:

• Has a goal.
• Has specific inputs.
• Has specific outputs.
• Uses resources.
• Has a number of activities that are performed in some order.
• Creates value for the user.

There are three main types of GLoW processes:

1. Management processes: these are the processes that govern the operation of GLoW and are usually administrative in nature, such as regular backups and process documentation maintenance.
2. Editorial processes: these are the processes that constitute the core business of GLoW, and deal primarily with the production and control of content and its input into the GLoW knowledge base.
3. Supporting processes: these are the processes that support the core operational processes. These supporting processes usually have to do with the creation and maintenance of specialized tools used by the other processes, such as the New Content Submittal Form.

What is the purpose of the Global Library of Wisdom?

The purpose of GLoW is to make accessible to the public a curated collection of well structured and highly focused wisdom relating to planetary management best practices, and bad practices, oriented towards the eventual achievement of planetary Light and Life status.

Documentation for the Global Library of Wisdom.

The result of business process modeling is a collection of documents of various types. Some are long, some are short, some are graphical, and most are text. It is important to keep these documents well structured and concise, using plain language. The style used is less important. While they are generally technical in nature, the documents must nonetheless be user friendly for the people who will use them. The documents follow the hierarchy indicated below.

The GLoW business process model consists of the following core documents which are located at: [LINK TO DOCUMENT REPOSITORY]

This Roadmap document that you are now reading is part of these core documents, and it explains the main concepts and reasons for modeling the GLoW system, its associated resources, and how to maintain them.

• GLoW Diagrams 
  A xxxx file containing various diagrams that are used to visually map out the GLoW process. These diagrams use the Business Process Modeling Notation 2.0 (BPMN). This is a high level document which only provides an outline of the process in a graphical format. It explains what needs to be done.
• GLoW Business Rules 
  This document contains the various business rules used to understand the process. This is a mid-level document which exposes the logic of the process. It explains why things are done.
• GLoW Procedures
  This document contains the various procedures used to execute the process. This is a low level document which exposes the details of the process. It explains how things are done.

Additional Support Documentation.

The following documents are located in: [LINK TO SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS]

• New Editor Orientation (onboarding manual for new editorial staff)
• System Administrator Orientation (onboarding manual for new System Admins)
• GLoW Specifications Manual (details of GLoW system for IT staff)
• BPMN Spec 2.0.pdf (reference manual for BPMN specification)

Maintenance of GLoW documentation.

Maintaining the documentation that makes up the GLoW business process model is an ongoing activity, and is the responsibility of the entire GLoW Operational Team. Complete maintenance details are contained in a separate GLoW Document Maintenance Schedule.

Process diagrams are at a higher level than business rules, and should only be changed when the process changes. Changing the process diagrams can lead to many changes in the business rules. Changes to the process diagrams should be considered carefully by the entire GLoW Team since they reflect significant changes in the organization. Changes to the process diagrams should always be done in accordance with the BPMN 2.0 standard.

Business rules are at a lower level than the process diagrams. You can change a business rule without changing the process diagrams. Business rules are easier to change and maintain than the process diagrams, and can be done by the individual(s) who have the knowledge that needs to be recorded in the rules. Once a change is made to a business rule, the entire GLoW Team should be notified of the change. There are currently no widely accepted standards for writing business rules, however, they generally fall into the category of technical documents, and should always be user friendly for the people who will use them. 

Procedures are at the lowest level. You can change a procedure without changing the process diagrams or the business rules. Procedures are easy to change and maintain, and can be done by the individual(s) who have the knowledge that needs to be recorded in the procedures. Once a change is made to a procedure, the entire GLoW Team should be notified of the change. Procedures should always be user friendly for the people who will use them. Procedures change often and they require frequent maintenance.

Whenever you revise one or more of these core documents you should also append the document’s version history table, usually on the second page, or the version number located at the bottom of the sheet in the case of a diagram.

GLoW Business Rules

"At this point, in this process, given this information, what action should be taken?"

Introduction

This document is one of several that are used to describe the workflow of the Global Library of Wisdom (GLoW).

---

Purpose

This document describes the various business rules that regulate the development, management and use of the GLoW. This document is designed as a technical reference manual with each rule a collapsible block. There is no fixed reading order so feel free to jump to the section(s) of interest.

---

Document Conventions

The business rules in this document are structured as follows.
Note: There is a ready made business rule template in TBG Workspace > Documents > Templates to assist you in creating new business rules.

BR # Business Rule Name

This gives a unique reference number to each business rule and declares the rule’s name. Either or both of these are used as references in other documents, and are often referred to in the GLoW BPMN diagrams. For clarity, the business rules should be named (to the extent possible) according the tasks or sub-processes that make up the GLoW workflow.

Definition

A brief description of the business rule. The language used should be unambiguous and easy to understand. The words used must have unique meanings within the GLoW business domain. Important terminology should be referenced in the Glossary section of this document.

Conditions

Explains the logic, and decision making that is part of the business rule. Should use words such as if, and, or. Is usually expressed in the form of one or more questions.

Action

Outlines the steps, methods, and procedures required to execute the business rule. Numbered lists can be used to describe a controlled series of steps. Bulleted lists can be used to describe ad hoc procedures.

Deliverables

Some deliverables are optional, such as drafts, and some are mandatory, such as approvals, the Forms Action Request, or other official process forms.

Participants

Identifies the persons, services, and business units involved in the business rule.

When not required

Explains the conditions that allow this rule to be skipped.

Note

Additional information that is of importance to the execution of the business rule. Notes should be kept brief and to the point.

Glossary

Business Rules	Business Rules describe the operations, definitions and constraints that apply to an organization in achieving its goals.
Procedures	Procedures are detailed explanations that staff members follow in order to execute the corresponding business rule(s). Documented procedures are used to describe the knowledge underpinning an organization, allowing it to perform its functions. It covers a wide spectrum of knowledge, skills, know-how and expertise which define an organization. Procedures represents the most important operational asset and covers the following organizational knowledge: documented procedures, methods & policies, compliance with external rules, regulations and legislation, staff know-how and expertise relating to users, products, services, resources, processes, operations and risks.

GLoW Procedures

“The Only Source of Knowledge is Experience” - Albert Einstein

Introduction

This document is one of several documents that are used to describe the Global Library of Wisdom (GLoW) workflow. Refer to the References section in Appendix for additional documentation.

---

Purpose

This procedure document contains the collective experience of the GLoW team. It describes the specific conduct, methods, routines, processes, and actions used to execute the GLoW workflow. This document is designed as a technical reference manual. There is no fixed reading order so feel free to jump to the sections of interest.

---

Document Conventions

The procedures in this document are structured as follows.
Note: There is a ready made procedure template in TBG Workspace > Documents > Templates to assist you in creating new business rules.

---

PN # and Procedure Title

This gives a unique reference number to each procedure and declares the procedure’s name. Either or both of these are used as references in other documents. For clarity, procedures should be named (to the extent possible) according the tasks or sub-processes that make up the GLoW workflow. The procedure title should be carefully selected so that it is simple and clearly conveys the procedure’s content.  

---

Definition

A brief description of the procedure. The language used should be unambiguous and easy to understand. The words used must have unique meanings within GLoW's domain. Important terminology should be referenced in the Glossary section of this document. The definition describes the overall objectives, functions, or tasks that the procedure is designed to accomplish and the circumstances under which the procedure should be used.  

---

Responsibility

Lists units, offices, and individual job titles for those who have responsibility for aspects of daily control and coordination of the procedure, authority to approve exceptions to the procedure (if applicable), and procedural implementation (including responsibility for any required electronic or written documentation). Sets forth the scope of responsibilities under the procedure, the procedural areas subject to discretionary modification (if any), and the responsibility for implementation.

---

Procedure Details

Using an approach which is customized to the subject (i.e., can be a statement in outline format of each step required, a checklist of what needs to be done, an explanation of how to complete the necessary steps – including screenshots if applicable – or an appropriate combination of techniques), provide the reader with the necessary procedural and “how-to” and "best practices" information to get the job done. Use bulleted lists for collections of tasks that don’t follow a specific order, and use numbered lists for tasks that must be followed in order. Included in this section should be definitions of unique terms or terms subject to different interpretation and copies of all forms needed to complete the procedure.

---

References

Indicate the sub-processes and business rules that this procedure applies to.

---

Resources

A table which points users to training material, additional documentation, templates, forms and other sources of help for carrying out the procedure.

---

What are the characteristics of a good procedure document?

The goal for any procedure document is for the design to be simple, consistent, and easy to use.  

---

Good procedures

Procedures are tied to the business rules and the overall workflow process. Procedures are developed with the customer/user in mind.  Well developed and thought out procedures provide benefits to the procedure user. There is a sense of ownership among procedure users. For this reason, it helps to involve users in the development of procedures. The procedures must be understandable. Procedures should be written so that what needs to be done can be easily followed by all users. When feasible, procedures should offer the user options. Procedures which are unnecessarily restrictive may limit their usefulness.  

---

Writing style for procedure documents

• Use the active voice (wrong: the editor will send an approval email to…  correct: the editor sends an approval email to…)
• Avoid speaking to the past or the future, speak only in the present.
• Write as if the subject does the action (wrong: a GLoW entry is designed… correct: the Editor designs a GLoW entry)
• Be concise, and use a minimum of verbiage.
• Factual — double-check accuracy!
• Don’t include information that may be quickly outdated (e.g., names, phone #).
• If you use an acronym, spell it out the first time you use it (e.g., Global Library of Wisdom (GLoW) ).
• Include step-by-step instructions. Use numbered lists for instructions that must be followed in order. Use bulleted lists when the order of the list is not important.
• Not too technical — simple enough to be understood by new staff.
• Always include resources (e.g., “include full link to the source document”. Don’t forget to indicate where the reader can get resources. Add such information in the Resources section.) 
• Always write from the point of view of a person who has never done the procedure.

---

Design and layout of procedure documents

• Generous use of white space.
• Presentation is structured so that the user can quickly focus on the aspect of procedure relevant to their decision/task at hand.
• Layout each procedure in a table (provided in the Templates section).
• Use a flexible, modular outline to make the document easy to modify and keep up-to-date.
• Use labels to introduce key points (headings and labels in margins need to be consistent ... i.e., same location on each page, type size, etc.).

---

Responsibilities of procedure owners

Procedure “owners” are accountable for the timely review, updating, and dissemination of procedures in their functional area. Assignment of responsibility for procedures is accomplished partly through a series of delegations of authority. Alternatively, in the absence of a formal delegation, authority will rest with the unit which has been assigned operational responsibility for an area.

When developing new, or revising existing procedures, procedure owners have an obligation to identify those who will be directly affected by new or revised procedures and to consider a representative sample of their views early in the procedure development discussions. They must also ensure that their procedures adhere to the principles of, and achieve the objectives of GLoW. In addition to documenting the approved procedure, the owner should develop support and training options, if appropriate, for the customers/users who are attempting to adhere to the procedure. This includes, at a minimum, the designation of “experts” to which staff can turn for guidance or to resolve problems.

GLoW System Design

BookStack wiki software

The Global Library of Wisdom - GLoW - is a knowledge base built with a wiki system called BookStack.

BookStack website: https://www.bookstackapp.com
Screenshots: https://www.bookstackapp.com/#screenshots
Documentation: https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/

The BookStack system uses a bookshelf metaphor, where shelves are used to contain collections of books, with each book consisting of chapters (optional) and pages. Each book page essentially consists of a simple yet elegant html web page which holds the primary content of the knowledge base.

The shelves, books and chapters are used primarily as content structuring tools, but also serve as user friendly and intuitive navigational aids for logically and easily drilling down to specific portions of content by offering the user both a breadcrumb trail and an expandable hierarchical table of contents.

Like any good digital knowledge base the BookStack system comes equipped with a versatile and powerful built-in Search tool (Meilisearch) for doing keyword searches.

The BookStack Release v22.09 aims for at least WCAG 2.1 Level A standards for accessibility. 

---

The GLoW framework

The GLoW implementation consists of four fundamental layer of information. 3 layers of metadata and 1 layer of content.

1. First metadata layer: Shelf (only 1 shelf used for identifying GLoW).
2. Second metadata layer: Books (at least 10 books representing top level categories).
3. Third metadata layer: Chapters (many chapters per book).
4. First content layer: Pages (many pages per book/chapter).

---

The GLoW books

This screenshot shows the 10 GLoW books used for labelling the top level categories. Each book has an optional text field for entering a brief description of the book. Any number of chapters and pages can be added to a book. When appropriate, pages can be added directly to a book without being part of a chapter.

---

The GLoW chapters

Each GLoW book may contain any number of chapters that may be useful for sub-categorizing the wisdom entries. Chapters can be used as an additional structural layer for containing content pages. In the BookStack system chapters are optional. When appropriate, pages can be added directly to a book without being part of a chapter. Similar to books, each chapter has an optional text field for entering a brief description of the chapter.

---

The GLoW pages

• Each GLoW page is a simple html web page conforming to the default BookStack style and design.
• Each GLoW page is a repository of wisdom pertaining to a specific subject.
• Each GLoW page may contain one or more wisdom entries.
  • Each wisdom entry on a page begins with a header used for classifying the entry, and indicating one or more jurisdictions that the entry falls under. See header example below.
  • The header is also used for recording the source of the wisdom entry when available.
  • The header is a pre-configured BookStack page template which can be inserted anywhere in a wisdom page.

[P] The Nature of Family

• cannot be had without children 99:4.2(1089;5)
• founded on 7 facts 142:7.5-12(1603;6)
• ideals of 84:7sec(939;4)
• man and woman adjusting their antagonisms 68:2.8(765;5), 84:7.30(942;1)
• members reap benefits, suffer consequences of others' actions 12:7.11(138;6), 54:5.5(617;5), 54:6.3-4(618;6), 67:7sec(760;6), 145:2.8(1630;4)
• sex hunger and mother love establish 70:3.2(787;2)
• temporal institution; does not survive death 140:8.14(1581;1) 

[P] The Value of Families

•  loyalty to and watchcare over f. is the most sacred human trust 126:3.5(1389;8), 127:2.8(1397;6), 127:5.3(1403;1), 140:8.14(1581;1), 196:0.7(2088;2)
• position accorded f. in China creates stability 79:8.9(888;2)
• almost everything of lasting value has roots in 68:2.8(765;5), 79:8.9(888;2), 140:8.14(1581;1)
• built on tolerance, patience, forgiveness 84:7.28(941;9), 142:7.11(1604;6)
• earthly f. illustrates the heavenly 142:7.4(1603;5)
• most effective social group; master civilizer 82:0.2(913;2), 160:2.4(1775;5)
• reveals to parents Creator's attitude to his children 84:7.30(942;1)
• P941:10, 84:7.29 Human society would be greatly improved if the civilized races would more generally return to the family-council practices of the Andites. They did not maintain the patriarchal or autocratic form of family government. They were very brotherly and associative, freely and frankly discussing every proposal and regulation of a family nature. They were ideally fraternal in all their family government. In an ideal family filial and parental affection are both augmented by fraternal devotion.
• P942:1, 84:7.30 Family life is the progenitor of true morality, the ancestor of the consciousness of loyalty to duty. The enforced associations of family life stabilize personality and stimulate its growth through the compulsion of necessitous adjustment to other and diverse personalities. But even more, a true family -- a good family -- reveals to the parental procreators the attitude of the Creator to his children, while at the same time such true parents portray to their children the first of a long series of ascending disclosures of the love of the Paradise parent of all universe children.

[P] Marriage

• P941:9, 84:7.28 Marriage, with children and consequent family life, is stimulative of the highest potentials in human nature and simultaneously provides the ideal avenue for the expression of these quickened attributes of mortal personality. The family provides for the biologic perpetuation of the human species. The home is the natural social arena wherein the ethics of blood brotherhood may be grasped by the growing children. The family is the fundamental unit of fraternity in which parents and children learn those lessons of patience, altruism, tolerance, and forbearance which are so essential to the realization of brotherhood among all men.

[P] Succession (inheritance)

•  obligation to transmit legitimate wealth to succeeding generations 69:9.3(780;6), 132:5.5(1463;3)
• P941:8, 84:7.27 In the present industrial and urban era the marriage institution is evolving along new economic lines. Family life has become more and more costly, while children, who used to be an asset, have become economic liabilities. But the security of civilization itself still rests on the growing willingness of one generation to invest in the welfare of the next and future generations. And any attempt to shift parental responsibility to state or church will prove suicidal to the welfare and advancement of civilization.

[P] Threats to Families

•  rising tide of self-gratification is threat to 84:8.1(942;2)
• warnings
  • avoid all deception; refrain from suspicion 140:5.14(1574;7)
  • bad environment can spoil excellent inheritance, at least during younger years 76:2.6(848;6)
  • error to teach boys tenderness is unmanly 140:5.16(1575;1)
  • do not force ready-made adult religious experience on child 100:1.3(1094;5)
  • insubordination caused by protecting children from consequences of foolish conduct 84:7.20)
  • John Zebedee humored too much; spoiled 139:4.5(1554;3)
  • Judas was pampered, petted, spoiled 139:12.6(1566;5), 193:4.6(2056;4)
  • never take sides in children's quarrels; show no partiality 128:1.14(1409;4), 141:3.3(1589;4)
  • overindulgence adds to delinquency and demoralization; encompasses moral undoing 147:5.9(1653;3), 177:2.2(1921;6)
  • overprotection harmful; allow child to have original experience 177:2.2-4(1921;6)
  • overprotection makes child self-conscious, self-centered 123:0.2(1355;2)
  • pressure unhelpful; does not stimulate growth 103:5.11(1135;1)
  • shortsighted affection pampers and spoils 118:10.1(1304;3)
  • suicidal to shift responsibility to state or church 84:7.27(941;8)

[P] The Family of God

 

[P] Child Rearing

• best if close in ages 55:3.10(625;9)
• discipline favorable; love restrains unwise acts 66:7.5(750;7), 127:4.3(1401;3), 142:2.4(1597;4), 142:7.9(1604;4), 143:1.4(1608;1), 177:2.7(1923;1), 188:4.10(2017;5)
• help select heroes and lifework 140:5.14(1574;7)
• introduce to worship in nature's outdoors 167:6.6(1840;5)
• permanently impressed only by adults' loyalties 100:1.4(1094;6)
• punishment necessary when very young 142:2.4(1597;4)
• let compassion be part of all punishment 131:9.4(1453;2)
• punishment as corrective affection 142:2.4(1597;4)
• restraint of child's unwise acts 143:1.4(1608;1), 177:2.7(1923;1)
• indispensable parent-child relation 45:6.4(516;2), 84:7.4(939;7)
• wise fathers chasten in love for correction 142:7.9(1604;4), 188:4.10(2017;5)
• whom the Lord loves he corrects 148:5.5(1662;2)
  
• religion depends on whether fear or love dominates parent-child relationship 92:7.7(1013;2), 103:2.3(1131;2), 177:2.2(1921;6)
• should grow up conscious of being God's children 103:2.2-10(1131;1)
• should honor parents 66:7.15(751;10), 93:4.13(1018;2), 131:2.12(1446;1), 149:6.6(1675;7), 153:3.3(1712;3), 163:2.4(1801;7)
• P801:10, 71:1.14 The great weakness in Roman civilization, and a factor in the ultimate collapse of the empire, was the supposed liberal and advanced provision for the emancipation of the boy at twenty-one and the unconditional release of the girl so that she was at liberty to marry a man of her own choosing or to go abroad in the land to become immoral. The harm to society consisted not in these reforms themselves but rather in the sudden and extensive manner of their adoption. The collapse of Rome indicates what may be expected when a state undergoes too rapid extension associated with internal degeneration.

• P941:2, 84:7.21 Eskimo children thrive on so little discipline and correction simply because they are naturally docile little animals; the children of both the red and the yellow men are almost equally tractable. But in races containing Andite inheritance, children are not so placid; these more imaginative and adventurous youths require more training and discipline. Modern problems of child culture are rendered increasingly difficult by:
  P941:3, 84:7.22 1. The large degree of race mixture.
  P941:4, 84:7.23 2. Artificial and superficial education.
  P941:5, 84:7.24 3. Inability of the child to gain culture by imitating parents -- the parents are absent from the family picture so much of the time.

• P941:7, 84:7.26 Civilization regards the parents as assuming all duties, the child as having all the rights. Respect of the child for his parents arises, not in knowledge of the obligation implied in parental procreation, but naturally grows as a result of the care, training, and affection which are lovingly displayed in assisting the child to win the battle of life. The true parent is engaged in a continuous service-ministry which the wise child comes to recognize and appreciate.

  • appreciation essential to develop character 160:2.6(1775;7)

  • enjoin good rather than forbid evil 127:4.2-6(1401;2), 140:5.9(1574;2)
  • having children entails supreme responsibility 84:7.25-26(941;6)
  • nurture early moral awakenings 103:2.3(1131;2)
