ARE YOU A HUMAN?
Indeed you are! So am I. And so are 6.8 billion other humans.
But only when we take a moment to think about it, can we effectively know—and agree—that we are humans. In our daily lives, we have little choice but to forget about the most precious, empirically obvious and irrefutable fact of our lives—we are all humans—where we can all agree.
Do we actually live as humans? Astonishingly, the answer must be no. No matter all of our best intentions, we are organized to live only out of our differences, disagreements and conflicts. With today's ever-shrinking world, these disagreements could spread and ravage all peoples on the globe. overwhelming our current outdated, dysfunctional capacity for agreement. This is a profoundly unstable and untenable situation for all on Earth.

But what would happen if we actually lived as humans, coming from our bedrock agreement as humans with common interests rather than from disagreement based on endless secondary issues? Could we surpass every past hope and expectation by creating an environment that is secure, whole and healing for everyone on Earth? What could be more sane, more practical, more inspiring, while incomparably cost-effective? What could be a better legacy to leave our children and grandchildren?
This website has been created to examine the urgency of these times, to explore the immense possibilities that can open up when we choose to really live—as humans—in harmony with all our most cherished identities.
How might we ensure these extremely auspicious human priorities? To get the Big View of how the Human Unity Project addresses our planet's most urgent needs—and to find out how you can best be part of this project—see Welcoming All Humans.
