In
the city of Quito, Ecuador, in the month of September of 2001,
a group of professionals studying ancestral philosophies, united
by the sincere wish to serve mankind and relieve suffering, decided
to found HOUSE, House of Wisdom, with the intention of imparting
fundamental knowledge to determine the cause of human suffering
and to find definitive answers to our conflicts.
In
this way, their first inspiration was to offer help based on the
ancient wisdom of all the spiritual cultures, and apply their
solutions to the modern world.
To
this end, they thought House should establish centers around the
world, where their conscious servants could lend their services
to whoever found themselves in difficulty.
In
the past they assisted in international meetings focusing on humanitarian
themes, such as: ecology, nutrition, the resolution of conflicts
on the path to peace, holistic solutions in elevating the human
condition, among other issues. There they associated with people
whose attitude of service completely complemented their ideals.
Active groups then formed of professionals who are willing to
lend their services as conscious volunteers of HOUSE.
A
conscious volunteer is is any professional or dedicated person
who assumes the responsibility to seriously serve society in the
areas of their expertise.
In
olden times, one who appreciated the true essence of life was
considered wise and conscious.
Following
through in this development, HOUSE will begin to affiliate with
individual people, specialists, ONG's, and educational institutions,
to have the maximum effect it its intent to serve humanity.
The
proposed action was realized months later with the founding of
the House of Wisdom - FUCASA in the year 2001 and FUCASACOR in
Costa Rica in the year 2002.
From
the very first moment that these two first entities in our worldwide
program were conceived in the heart of its founders, they have
not stopped working on the construction of a solid structure to
continue this Life Project.
House
of Wisdom is synthesized in the spanish word CASA, (or HOUSE)
a word that was chosen for its profound content that clearly expresses
the object of our service.
CA signifies house, refuge, protection (casa in Spanish).
SA signifies wisdom, knowledge, illumination (sabiduria in Spanish).
The logo that represents HOUSE is the Truly, a construction based
on the natural lines of energy of the earth, and the organic nature
of eternity. Since ancient times the truly was considered "The
Home of the Sages and the Loving and Conscious Refuge that we
all need."
By
mid 2004 HOUSE already has groups working in Colombia, Peru, Chile,
Bolivia, Argentina, Switzerland, the Philippines, and Germany.
Acting
under the slogan "House Welcomes You", the pilot worldwide
program works full-time in Ecuador and consists of an executive
team which deals with materials for publicity and the fundamental
administration to open its doors and lend its loving service to
society.
