The intention of the TLC-Life-Center Team is to prevent any single individual or group of individuals from having unbridled power.   Why?   Because time and time again, history has proven that humans do not have the capacity to deal with having unrestricted power.    In the world today, money and power are  intimately interconnected.  

Money is a very potent tool that can be used for the benefit of people or as a tool for repression and enslavement as it in now being done in all too many places and ways.   To countermand this problem, the TLC-Life-Center Team recommends some major safeguards be installed in the trust structures.  

The goal is to prohibit anyone from stealing, destroying, or in any way damaging  the original capital, or from lining their pockets with the fund's money, or from playing favorites with the trust's assets in exchange for personal benefits.     Readers might note that the TLC-Life-Center team is designing its  program to avoid behavior such as that which is now the all too common practice of our federal congressmen and senators.  Special interest groups use money to buy and to control those who are supposed to represent the public's interests.   

This unethical and highly-destructive behavior is usually hidden in secrecy or is buried under one or more degrees of separation, and as a result, the general public does not see and does not understand that a government of the people, by the people and for the people has been transformed into a feeding troth for the wealth and powerful.

Recommended Structure        ...

In order to successfully use the trust system we have described in this document, three major problem need to be faced and solved.   

The first problem is the initial cost of setting up the trust.   The TLC-Life-Center Team is approaching businesses and other organizations that can afford the trust setup costs.   We are requesting that they not only set up a trust for themselves following our format,  but that they also make the structures they create available to The TLC-Life-Center Team so that we can pass them on to others.   

In that way, The TLC-Life-Center Team will soon have a set of generic trust structures.   We will then make these structures available to others who request them from us.   The structures  can be used by others for setting up their own trusts.  We will also make special arrangements with professionals who oversee the setups and actually produce the functional and functioning trusts.  Because we will be dealing with them regularly and in volume, The TLC-Life-Center Team will find a person or organization that will  be willing to produce the additional trusts at reduced costs.   This will significantly reduce the initial costs and complications of setting up trusts.   

The second problem is the lack of assets with which to fund the trusts.  Most people do not have sufficient money to warrant the cost of creating and managing a trust.   This is solvable by combining assets with other members of any mutual-support community so that combined assets will be enough to justify the cost of setting up the trusts and the costs and effort of managing them. 

The third problem is managing the trusts.   Again, the costs and the effort required will be significantly reduced by cooperative efforts.   By combining assets into a common trust, management costs can be spread over a large number of participants and thus no one is paying all the bills.  

No Quick Fix:   Readers must understand that this project is neither a magic bullet nor a quick fix.    Collectively, humans have spent years creating the circumstances and the conditions that exist today, so it's going to take some time and some effort to turn this around.    We have reached the point where a new course of action is desperately needed.    Old behavior patterns  (such as, doing more of the same,  doing the same thing harder, or waiting for someone else to do it for you)  are not going to solve today's problems.

The  TLC-Life-Center is just one step in the turn-around process.   Getting the project into its fully functioning state will take time, effort, and a change of attitude and behavior;  however, once all the pieces are in place and functioning, expanding the project will be a relatively easy task.   

  .

The major intentions of the TLC-Life-Center's project include the following.   Our intentions are:    

   to assist people in improving their own lives, 

   to create safe,  Retirement-focused, Tangible-asset, Investment Trusts for participants and their families,

   to shift (step-by-step) the manner in which businesses are run,

   to shift corporate priorities from profits only to people and profits, 

   to shift the recipient of the profits from the wealthy only to both the wealthy and the non-wealthy, 

   to reverse the trend of increasing callous environmental destruction, and

   to do all of the above in an orderly, safe, legal, step-by-step process that honors spiritual truths and the divine nature of all beings on planet Earth.   

  .

As soon as enough people begin creating Retirement-focused, Tangible-asset, Investment Trusts using the format offered in this program, (and it's only a matter of time)  the trusts will begin to have major impacts upon the way businesses are run and where those business profits go.   Because the investments themselves are never ever spent, initially the only spendable money from the trust will come from profits made from investing the original capital.   The number of trusts and the amount of money in this type of trust will  grow to the point where the trusts begin to cooperate with other similarly designed trusts and collectively  dominate or become owners of corporations.   (See  the N.V.P. Teams "Save the Virgin Redwoods Project"   for an example of controlling a corporation.)    When this happens,  the corporate benefits above and beyond that which go to the stockholders will also belong to the trusts.   In addition, the trusts will be able to control how the corporations treat their employees and how they treat the environment.   

Gone will be the days of multi-million dollar salaries for corporate executives while retired, former employees choose between spending their last dollars on food or medicine. 

Gone will be the days of multi-million dollar severance packages and bonuses for executives when corporate profits are way down and/or when the corporation is facing bankruptcy. 

Gone will be the days when employee retirement funds are stolen by corporate executives using government-sanctioned, legal piggly-wiggly. 

Gone will be the days of oil-drilling in pristine natural environments.   

Gone will be the days when employee and community health are sacrificed on the altar of  corporate profits.   

The "doing" part of this equation is really quite easy.   The challenge is waking people up and getting them to think clearly.   (Unfortunately, the money-wheelers-and-dealers have seriously mis-educated the general public about what do do with  their retirement monies and those so-called experts are completely ignoring rule one of investing -- asset protection.)   The TLC-Life-Center's  Tangible-asset,  Retirement-funding Project simply needs to be implemented by willing participants, properly managed, and allowed time to grow.
