AU-SRC aspires to achieve and promulgate 'spontaneous communion as a way of life,’ …
… in fluid concert with ‘free society aethics’ {spelled that way as a nod to Athens, however imperfect a society it was}. In other words, we seek to integrate ‘demi-publican free society values’ with ‘primordial seeker-finder’ sensibilities {albeit with a pronounced de-emphasis of ‘blood lineages’ and exclusionary, kinship-based tendencies}.
1. Guidelines
• Speak Up
• Also Listen
• Be Decent
2. Our World Might Be In For Quite Serious Troubles
Elevator pitch: “Clan of the Cave Bear” meets Asimov’s “Foundation.”
3. Overwhelm Is A Luxury We CannOt Afford
We feel that intentional evolution of language may be among the most productive approaches to engendering sustainable-AND-worthwhile cultural growth \ ‘globally-social maturation.’ Regulations won’t save us from ourselves. ‘Spontaneous communion as a way of life’ just ‘@may’ght@'.

4. A few Note On ‘@Ling8@…
We tend to com ‘bracket’ our various neologisms with ‘@’ symbols, as i) these invoke round tables & campfires; ii) it’s a novel, not particularly digitally-friendly usage of the delightful little ‘@’ ‘@glyph’eme@’. We further 'tend to compile these into an online, {branchable?} ‘@Cliq’tionary@’, perhaps on Reddit, for the reduction of obfuscation; iii) ‘@Ling8@’employs the digit ‘8’ as a ‘constrained wildcard’ character, representing any vowel sound (reader’s choice… this serves, along with others in that ‘@Ling8@clad’egory@’, to de-literalize while also providing a mechanism for ‘human-sourced cryptography,’ but also to allow for the merging (linguistic agglutination) of contributory, legacy words, in ‘@espiri’poetically@’ equal measure, by default, regardless of syllabic order.
For example, as a dodge of various currently operative factions of thought-police, ‘@natantism@’ means ‘nature- & antecessor-oriented spirituality.’ This is construed as a broad category also including ‘@natancism@’, meaning ‘nature- & [linear] ancestor-oriented spirituality,’ which, reportedly, was the typical M.O. of ‘primordial seeker-finder societies,’ {more commonly referred to as ‘hunter-gatherer’ societies, which term we find somewhat negatively-freighted...'animism' is another somewhat fraught synonym}. We often make up our own terms as a way of avoiding ‘turf wars’ over definitions that might act as ‘hot buttons,’ so we can get on with expressing what we want to express… {we hope that publishing our ‘@Ling8@cliq’tionary@’online will adequately offset the inconvenience and annoyance inherent in the prodigious use of neologisms}.
More on this deep rabbit hole / barrel of monkeys to come.
5. &Now\Here, for a taste of ‘thesosh’ (theories / stories)…
We consider ourselves a ‘@natantisticly@preligious@’ organization, with a strong aversion to ‘religious strictures,’ and a minimalistic, but nevertheless well-structured, set of ‘spiritual precepts & practices,’ including a relatively free-wheeling approach to, in a phrase, skeptical-but-operative-animism, aka ‘skeptical mysticism.’
Please fare well, until next time!
