Ten Yuwmahn Beginnings: The Yuwmahn Compendium

By John Saomes

Welcome to the world of Yuwmah. This book of Ten Yuwmahn Beginnings offers a brief introduction to each volume of The Yuwmahn Compendium and an overall picture of the nature and philosophies of the Yuwmahn concept.

The Yuwmahns are a race of people from the remote and isolated city of Yuwmah, an ancient community hidden away in the wilderness of South America. They are part of a highly evolved and advanced civilisation whose approach to life and governance are far superior to our own — having overcome the global challenges of over-population, starvation, crime, drugs, spiritual poverty, and a deteriorating social system. Their simple yet comprehensive approach to government, education, health, and happiness are nothing short of inspirational.

Through the course of each volume, the reader is presented with the depth and simplicity of the Yuwmahn philosophy, including the Five Pillars of Universal Wisdom; a system of governance for self, family, community, and the entire world. Each book challenges the reader to 'do better', to 'be better', and to 'have better' — to set their own ‘laws to live by’ and to identify what matters — and what matters most.

The Yuwmahn Compendium maps out a better way for mankind to live and prosper, to advance the human spirit, to rise above the ugliness and futility of modern living, and to ennoble the human soul.

Within these pages are reflections of Plato's Republic, Thomas Moore's Utopia, James Hilton's Shangrila in Lost Horizon, Og Mandino's A Better Way To Live, George Orwell's 1984, Aldous Huxley’s A Brave New World, The Four Agreements, and The Alchemist.

The books of the Yuwmahn Compendium have as their central theme the pursuit of human happiness for every individual, family, and community. Collectively the Yuwmahn canon addresses the greatest philosophical questions of all time:

• How did man come to be?
• What is the meaning of life?
• What are the most noble purposes of our existence?
• What is the best way for mankind to live?
• How do we design an ideal world to maximise the human experience and ensure a peaceful planet?

The main intention of The Yuwmahn Compendium is to promote thought and discussion of our human potential: the nature of our earthly home, the life we might live, the world we might create for ourselves into the future, and the legacy we might leave to the generations who follow. Through the pages of The Yuwmahn Compendium the reader is taken on a voyage of discovery: a reflection of the past, a reassessment of the present, and onward to a frank re-evaluation of our future potential as the dominant species on planet earth.

This is your invitation to step out of the darkness and deceit of the ways of the modern world and into the light of pure knowledge and understanding of the better way for mankind to live together in peace and prosperity as a diverse and united 'global human family'.

Introduction

Welcome to the world of Yuwmah. This book of Ten Yuwmahn Beginnings offers a brief introduction to each volume of The Yuwmahn Compendium and an overall picture of the nature and depth of the Yuwmahn concept.

The main intention of each volume of the Yuwmahn Compendium is to promote thought and discussion of our human potential: the nature of our earthly home, the life we might live, the world we might create for ourselves into the future, and the legacy we might leave to the generations who follow.

The books of the Yuwmahn Compendium have as their central theme the pursuit of human happiness for every individual, family, and community. Collectively the Yuwmahn canon addresses the greatest philosophical questions of all time:

How did man come to be?

What is the meaning of life?

What are the most noble purposes of our existence?

What is the best way for mankind to live?

How do we design an ideal world to maximise the human experience and ensure a peaceful planet?

As the author, it is my intention that the central characters pass no judgement of anyone. Their purpose is to explore and document the arguments and options, and nothing more. Through their eyes the reader is taken on a voyage of discovery: a reflection of the past, a reassessment of the present, and onward to a frank re-evaluation of our future potential as humans. Ultimately, the reader must draw their own conclusions, settle their own minds, and formulate their own values.

The Meaning of Yuwmah

Yuwmah means ‘place of yuwm’ — a physical location and much more.

---

Yuwm is a feeling, a state of mind, and a condition of the heart and soul.

---

Yuwm connotes a peaceful coexistence, a harmonious relationship, a timeless balance, a natural outcome, and a perfect blend.

---

Yuwm is visible in the changing of night to day and in the relationship between the earth, sun, moon, and stars.

---

Yuwm exists at the horizon where the land meets the sky, where the oceans meet the shore, and where rivers meet the sea.

---

Yuwm symbolises peace, love, harmony, and contentment, and characterises the highest degree of human happiness.

---

… And for many inhabitants of planet earth — Yuwmah signifies ‘home’.

The Nature of Yuwmahnism

To be Yuwmahn is to live at the very pinnacle of human potential: to be totally free, to be undefiled by the corruption of the world, and to be the master of one's own destiny.

A Yuwmahn is essentially a highly evolved human whose mind and body have transcended all normally accepted human limitations to become a more refined person of boundless capacities and unlimited potential.

Every Yuwmahn takes personal responsibility for the condition of their own soul, while remaining subject to their family for discipline and guidance, and accountable for their actions to the entire Yuwmahn community.

Every Yuwmahn family contributes equitably and generously to support the whole community to ensure they remain self-sufficient and self-sustaining.

Every Yuwmahn community is founded for the edification of like-minded individuals who uphold the right to enact local laws to cater for the specific needs and expectations of their particular group, and to enforce such laws as they see fit. Every individual has the opportunity to vote on all issues of legislation as part of a truly democratic system of government.

Collective happiness is the central tenet and the most fundamental focus of all Yuwmahn life and endeavour. To feel Yuwmahn or to be in a Yuwmahn state is to be clean and pure of heart and mind, at peace with one's self and the world, and to blend harmoniously with nature and the environment.

Yuwmahns move invisibly around the earth doing good, helping others, fighting for right, defending the innocent, and quietly making the world a better place for every living creature.
