About
Commonwealth of World Chinatowns
This project is to bring the Chinatowns of the world closer together starting with the world's biggest - Penang and Singapore.
Although Chinatowns are where we draw our inspiration, it is not limited to only Chinese culture and traditions. Overseas Chinese are known to be able to adapt to their diverse local cultures no matter where they settle and many find success by building strong ties with their local communities of all ethnicities.
The initial focus is on art, culture, history, science, technology, and research within the ambit of rethinking the concept of "the university."
At the Planning Forum we will be discussing art from an Asian perspective and why science and integrative medicine has been suppressed. Solutions to emancipation is given voice and is acted upon as projects of the CWC.
For the first time in 500 years, the world has a chance to redefine the collective human civilization that is distinct from the Western colonialist model. China, as the anchor for the sinic civilization, is on the rise. Multipolarity appears to be on the near horizon.
We in Southeast Asia have been the bridge for all major civilizations for centuries, where people of myriad backgrounds come to trade and settle. As part of the world community we need to play this role of forging closer ties between peoples of all civilizations even more urgently today.
Residing permanently overseas the Chinese retain their identities while assimilating new ones. They are loyal to their respective nations. Rooted to their home cities.
As such the Chinatowns of the world cities are a natural platform to forge closer ties among all civilizations. Hence, we invite friends from the world over to participate in the many activities that are being planned. At first in Penang and Singapore, later, we hope to have activities in other cities in Southeast Asia and beyond. Culminating in a new ecology for world civilizations.

Art and Asia A New Paradigm?
Is science suppressed?
Science & Consciousness
Unravelling the scientific mystery of human consciousness is an exciting field which could lead to a deeper understanding of human nature and the universe. The "science of consciousness" expressed as Qi or Prana in Eastern cultures, where quantum physics. Astrophysics, biology, and organic chemistry converge to ask the fundamental question, are humans more than just bio-robots? Are there other intelligent life in the universe? Why are there so many ancient cultures who believe in star people?
Integrative Medicine & Health
Plans are afoot to start an integrative medicine centre in Penang. Like new shoots of sprouting bamboo, this centre aims to cultivate the evidence based science of integrative medicine and health. This centre is expected to host a compounding pharmacy, a chelation centre for clinical research and a focus on lifestyle and nutritional medicine.

Predicting the Near Future in Extraordinary Times
The next 3 years will see deep fundamental changes in human civilization.
Art can help us to see the future. If you know how, by observing trends in modern art, you can tell what the near future heralds.
Breakthroughs in science is coming. Exponential change, unlike what we have seen before is a result of transition in expanded human consciousness.
The Solar System's journey in the Milky Way galaxy following natural long cycles measured in thousands of years ushers in these changes. John, like an ancient Tao master, with modern techniques to gaze at the unseen universe forecasts world changing events.
Water Research for Revolutionary Breakthroughs
Breakthroughs in science is rare. Water research holds great promises and yet is not well funded. This short clip explains the reasons for a dearth in revolutionary technologies.
For a longer synopsis click the button below. Prof. Pollack will be discussing these and more on Monday, 15th July.
Young Cosmonauts School and the New Russian Cosmism
The Young Cosmonauts School is co-organized by the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre and the Association for the Ecology of the Unknown.
Aerospace science is one of the necessary underpinnings of the knowledge to go into space. Just as important is the ethics that undergirds this science which was articulated by the founders of Russian space travel and rocketry. Updated today as the new Russian Cosmism.
