The Aevia Group and Ascension University are organizing Curricular Focus Teams in an ongoing effort to insure the essential curriculum is always given the proper attention in course development. The Advanced Necessities Guide (ANG), is one such curriculum management component and the team and will operate as part of the School for Service to All.
The philosophical and spiritual overtones focus specifically on the meaning and value of Unfailing Goodness as characterized by Thoughtful Preparedness, Resourceful Adaptability, and Industrious Tenacity.
The managerial and scientific focus is concentrated on facts promoting personal health and welfare for a great humanity.
In November of 2008, the Lead Trustee for the soon to be established Aevia Charitable Trust (The ACT), gave a talk on the importance of work if one is to maintain a faith that is vibrantly alive. The talk included the following statement:
“The necessities of life work to keep us reality centered. And challenges are an important part of our discipleship. Just as actual experience is the master of all teachers, the Spirit of Truth will guide us through those experiences that are the most meaningful. And, throughout our efforts to apply the most appropriate levers of social uplift, this very same spiritual helper will be the power multiplying fulcrum.
Only God can grow us and only God can heal us. But we can set the stage for, and promote the growth and healing of, individuals and nations. We can teach the art and science of advancing individuals and civilization away from darkness and death towards the Source of higher values and an era of light and life. To do this we must renew our focus on subjecting the animal nature to the mastery of the Spirit. And we must move away from unbridled profiteering to higher types of incentive and motivation.”
