The NXIVM Vision: Creating a rational, ethical world

ur primary desire is to help create a data-based, rational and ethical world. It's very simple: factual data exists all around us-it is there for us to gather, and we can do so by merely observing reality. The less factual data with which we sustain our opinions, the more likely we may become invested in them; the more invested we are, the more our disputes on differences of opinion are likely to escalate. Disagreement soon begets conflict, and conflict soon begets war.

If we acknowledge that there exists a consistent, testable reality outside of our personal opinion, we may find a place of common understanding and knowledge. We believe it should be possible for people of all faiths-Christians, Atheists, Jews, Hindus, and Muslims, etc.-to live and work together.

Humankind should be able to coexist on this planet in a harmonious fashion. Therefore, we believe the ultimate human morality cannot be based on mysticism. As long as human morality does not have a common denominator, we will probably continue to fight the same wars we have been fighting since the beginning of time.
