Introductory Illustrative Speech
Time like clockwork; Space like the ocean. Know everything and everyone is right where it needs to be everywhere and every time. No one ever really knows how or why but it’s just the frameworks of forever.
Life is ebb and flow; get to know who, what, where, when, and why to push or pull like waves of the sea.
Should we live in an ocean of information flowing along the curves of time, the thoughts and ideas we share, cherish, and remember are all but memories and fragments of our existence, droplets of water cascading and crystallizing to eternal equilibrium into oblivion.
THIS IS THE BASIS OF THE KAIVAAN CULTURE AND UNDERGROUND GRASSROOTS:
1.KAIVAAN IS NOT QUITE A RELIGION AND NOT QUITE A PHILOSOPHY YET IT DOES EMBODY ASPECTS OF BOTH; BOTH SIDES OF THAT SAME COIN.
2. KAIVAAN IS NOT JUST A SCIENCE, NOT QUITE AN ART FORM, AND NOT JUST A SYSTEM FOR SPIRITUALITY YET IT DOES EMBODY ASPECTS OF THESE THREE.
3. KAIVAAN IS INDEED BOTH OF THESE TWO PRECEPTS, YET IT IS NONE OR NEITHER OF IT.
4. KAIVAAN IS A UNION FOR ALL OF THOSE INTO ONE, YET IT IS NOT QUITE ONE AND CONSISTS OF MANY FORMS INTO ONE COHESIVENESS.
5. KAIVAAN IS, INDEED A WAY OF, AND FOR, LIFE. MIND, BODY, SOUL, SPIRIT WITH FAITH… PUT IT ALL TOGETHER.
6. KAIVAAN IS, INDEED A COUNTER-CULTURE SANCTUARY SOCIETY.
7. KAIVAAN OFFERS A SOLUTION FOR WHAT WOULD FILL IN THE ENDS AND THE GAPS THAT SURROUND RELIGIOUS AND CONCEPTUAL DIVERGENCE.
7.1 IN TERMS OF CHRISTIANITY, KAIVAAN IS, AN ALTERNATIVE FOURTH BRANCH; KAIVAAN IS, A MEDIATOR, FOR AND OF THE LIGHT AND SHADOWS OF THE CHURCH AND SOCIETY.
7.2 KAIVAAN IS A GLOBALIZED ENTITY, YET LOOSELY DECENTRALIZED, NOT BELONGING TO ANY SINGLE COUNTRY, STATE, GOVERNMENT, INSTITUTION, SOCIETY, OR CULTURE. STAKES IN KAIVAAN ARE IRRELEVANT AND DO NOT FUNCTION AS WOULD BUSINESS SHAREHOLDERS TYPICALLY OPERATE.
7.1.3 KAIVAAN IS, AN EMPTY SPACE FOR HARMONY AND UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE RELIGIOUS DENOMINATIONS.
7.3 KAIVAAN IS, SEEKING FOR THE FORMING OF HARMONIOUS CONNECTIONS AND REBUILDING OF TRUSTS AND UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN DIFFERENT RELIGIONS, BELIEFS AND FAITHS.
7.3.1 KAIVAAN SEEKS TO BE A COMMUNION AND SANCTIFICATION OF ALL LEGENDS, MYTHS, FOLKLORE, AND SUPERSTITION.
7.3.2 KAIVAAN SEEKS TO BE NON EXCLUSIVE; KAIVAAN IS NOT ALL INCLUSIVE. YOU HAVE THE FREEDOM TO TUNE IN, BE APART OF THE MOVE, AND SEE IT THOUGH AS MUCH AS YOU DO TO BELIEVE IT AS ITS OWN FORM OF NONSENSE AND TOMFOOLERY. INTERFERENCE IS NOT ADVISED. UNDERSTANDING IS NOT YOUR OBLIGATION.
7.3.3 KAIVAAN IS LESS OF SOMETHING TO CHANGE, MOLD OR FORM ANY BELIEFS UPON ANOTHER BUT RATHER, MORE SO TO STIR AWARENESS WHEN ONE MIGHT BE LACKING OR NEED A HAND IN THE WORLD.
THIS IS ONE CORE VALUE: WEAVE AND FLOW AROUND IN THE SECULAR WORLD WHILE AT THE SAME TIME FINDING AND COMING BACK HOME TO GOD.
THIS IS THE SECOND CORE VALUE: BRINGING BACK HOME THE REST OF THE LOST, THE INNOCENT, THE VULNERABLE, THE SICK, THE SUFFERING, THE MAD, ODD, CRAZY, AND INSANE WHO WE COULD HAVE LOST ALONG THE WAY. NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO OR IS WILLING TO BE SAVED NOR NEEDS TO, BUT FOR THOSE WHO DO… LEAVE NONE BEHIND UNSAVED.
THIS IS THE THIRD CORE VALUE: THE FOUNDER IS NO MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYONE ELSE. THE FOUNDER ONLY BLAZES A NON SECULAR TRAIL IN A SECULAR WORLD THAT IS CENTRALLY INSPIRED BY THE LORD CHRIST JESUS AND ABRAHAMIC THOUGHT, BLENDED WITH OVERLAPPING, SYNERGISTIC ASPECTS OF ZEN BUDDHISM AND TAOISM. THIS WAS STARTED AS A MEANS TO NEUTRALIZE AND COUNTER WEIGHT AGAINST THE PRESENT DAY STATUS QUO NORMS AND DEFIANCE AGAINST TRADITIONAL FOUNDATIONS THAT UPHOLD THE ESSENCE OF HUMANITY. AGREEMENT IS NOT OBLIGED.
THE PARADIGM KEY OF KAIVAAN IS TO CREATE, RADIATE AND MAKE WAVES OF POSITIVE CHANGE THAT SWIRL THE WORLD.
FIGURATIVELY SPEAKING, AS WE LIVE LIFE, WE ARE PASSING THROUGH ALL SORTS OF WEATHER FROM CLEAR AND CALM WATERS TO TYPHOONS OF CHAOS THAT THE SEAS ARE NO MORE OR LESS A REFLECTION OF THE GALAXIES THAT ARE THE HEAVENS…
8. KAIVAAN IS, THE BOATS, THE SHIPS, THE SPACESHIPS, THE HARBORS, THE SEAPORTS, THE AIRPORTS, THE STATIONS, THE SANCTUARIES IN THIS METAPHOR OF CONCEPTS.
9. FIGURATIVELY SPEAKING, THE IDEA KAIVAAN SERVES TO AND FOR, THE MERCY OF THE MONSOON WINDS OF GOD AND HIS GRACE OF THE CALM STILL WATERS IN THE EYE OF THE STORM.
