Richard Flyer explains:

"WHAT IS THE FOUNDATION OF SYMBIOTIC CULTURE?

At a time when worldviews seem irreconcilably divided, Symbiotic Culture is grounded in something that transcends ideology: a relational worldview capable of bridging difference and reconnecting what has been torn apart. A relational worldview sees life as deeply connected—not just in theory, but in the very structure of reality. For me, this understanding began with a spiritual awakening at age twelve—an overwhelming sense of being held by a Presence that was loving, alive, and everywhere. Years later, I encountered that same Presence moving through the natural world. In the forest, I began to see the living web of creation—not as metaphor, but as a sacred design where everything supports everything else.

This vision was later echoed in Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount and the early Christian communities, as well as in Gandhi’s village movements, Sri Lanka’s Sarvodaya Shramadana, and the Parallel Polis in Czechoslovakia. I saw this pattern of mutual flourishing—what science now calls symbiosis—not only as a biological reality, but a spiritual one. This is the foundation of Symbiotic Culture: an ancient, relational pattern pointing toward the next step in human evolution—a world where all can thrive."
