Guest What?

We know you’re out there. Yes, we’re a new organization. And yes, some of you are just finding us – and trying to decide what you think of us. I understand that. We’re a unique group in some ways, a bit intellectual and artsy and deeper than some, I suppose. It takes a while to digest our ideas and where we’re going with them.

But the figures show that folks are indeed finding www.thehumanityproject.com, with many hundreds of page views recorded in our first three weeks of operation.

And so, guess what? Or as I punningly wrote above, “Guest What?” We’d already like you to offer us guest blogs for this space. I want this part of our website to be used for more than my weekly chats about The Humanity Project and some of the psychological and social issues that consume our attention. I also hope that we can hear from our readers, our website guests, who have their own stories and perspectives to offer.

We’re putting out a call for guest blogs. The guidelines are few, but important, so if you plan to send us a possible blog, please consider these suggestions:

First, keep it short. No longer than about 500 words or so, please. Shorter than that is even better.

Second, it must deal with a personal experience that shows how you gained more control over your life somehow. Your blog might tell us how you learned to conquer your fears and do what you want to do in life, despite worries and doubts. Or it might tell us how you overcame your sexual guilt and freed your sensual nature. Or perhaps how you learned that your mind deeply affects your physical health and ways in which you use that knowledge to stay healthy. Whatever it is … But the idea is that it’s a true personal tale about some specific way in which you used self-knowledge to get a handle on your life.

Third (and this is probably unnecessary to mention to most of you, I’m sure), please keep your blog thoughtful and free of profanity and inappropriate comments. We view The Humanity Project as a website that even older kids (ok, bright older kids) could enjoy. For that and other reasons, we try to avoid content that includes real street language or other objectionable material.

That’s it. No other rules, except we hope you’ll give us your best writing. This website prides itself on quality writing. You don’t have to be Shakespeare or Joyce, but some clear understandable prose would be wonderful. Just say it simply, with honest feeling, and we’ll be happy to pass it along to our growing number of blog readers. To submit a guest blog, just email me at rsk@thehumanityproject.com … or click on “Contact Us” on the homepage. We look forward to reading about your experiences – and sharing them with our other guests at The Humanity Project. -- RSK
