Cosmic
man is replacing materialist man.

The Twilight Club is a catalyst for the
creation of a new global civilization in which technology advances
concomitantly and harmoniously with moral consciousness to the benefit
of humanity-in which individual liberty, autonomy, and rights are
respected, while individual responsibility to communities is practiced,
and thus world balance is maintained-and in which metaphysical and
physical sciences not only harmoniously coexist, but also may develop
into a new synthesis to reach further into the frontiers of knowledge.
The Twilight Club is not an organization to join, but an ongoing
project in which to participate based on the individual’s own
initiative. Though we do not subscribe to moral relativism, we are
nevertheless committed to the idea that the locus of thinking is only
and always within the individual, that the provenance of action is in
the thinking of each individual, and that human action therefore is
authentic only when it is initiated by the individual based on his/her
thinking, understanding, and commitment.
The Twilight Club is committed to raising moral consciousness and
propagating ethical practice around the world, but is not interested in
enforcing particular moral or ethical precepts-so long as the ethical
projects in which the participants are engaged are aligned with our
universal moral standards distilled in the original Poets’ Code of
Ethics.
The Twilight Club is committed:
|
• To pursue eternal and universal truth above all
else;
• To develop wisdom which consists in the capacity to sustain a
dialogue with people that hold different points of view from my own;
• To maintain the integrity and quality of the conversations and the
projects arising within or from the Twilight Club in accordance with
its eternal vision and universal standards;
• To empower and support individually-initiated and
collectively-channeled moral actions or ethical projects arising
within or from the Twilight Club in accordance with its eternal
vision and universal standards.

Looking at the world today—its violence, its conflict, and its
corruption—we are all compelled to agree that an ethical society or a
moral community is far from having been achieved on earth. Therefore,
the immortal message of the Twilight Club needs to be heard throughout
the world—in the silent core of being of every man and woman. The
Twilight Club will engage people with global visions in powerful global
action, individually-initiated and collectively-channeled action, to
bring about a new civilization characterized by love not fear, by
compassion not hatred, by harmony not conflict, by peace not war, by
happiness not suffering, and by unity not alienation.
The time is now for all of us, blessed with understanding and
commitment, to Think Kosmically and Act Globally to engender a New
World in which balanced evolution of humanity, wherefore happiness and
fulfillment, is accomplished, inspired by the eternal vision and the
universal moral principles envisioned by the philosophers, poets, and
businessmen who founded the Twilight Club over 120 years ago.
Come and participate with the Twilight Club in the projects that are
worthy of your commitment.

The moral law, properly so called, is the law of the perfect man -
is the formula of ideal conduct - is the statement in all cases of
that which should be, and cannot recognize in its propositions any
elements implying existence of that which should not be.
—Herbert Spencer
