Higher Purpose Forum: Gordon Anderson - Individual Sovereignty and Social Institutions

Co-Hosted with HJ International Graduate School (formally UTS)

Presenter - Dr. Gordon Anderson “Individual Sovereignty and Social Institutions” Respondent: Dr. Thomas Selover Closing Remarks: Dr. Thomas Walsh

Dear, We are pleased to announce that Higher Purpose Forum (HPF) will be co-hosting this and upcoming meetings with the HJ International Graduate School of Peace and Public Leadership (HJI).

This coming Tuesday, our presenter will be Dr. Gordon Anderson. Based upon his 2023 book Integral Society, Dr. Anderson will present his understanding of the restoration of individual sovereignty in creating a peaceful world. Individual political sovereignty, envisioned in our country’s founding documents, should be upheld and expanded upon to rein in other social institutions that threaten individual financial and cultural sovereignty. Overreach of financial institutions, the media, political parties, and government bureaucracies is leading to a collapse of American society into a neo-feudalism. Dr. Anderson will suggest actions to reverse this decline and restore the social environment so individuals can freely pursue meaning and fulfillment.

Our Respondent will be Dr Thomas Selover, President of SunHak UP Graduate University.

Closing remarks by Dr. Thomas Walsh, President of HJ International Graduate School .
