Our website is about you.

At our website you sit in a unique chair.
Your chair is what you consider the apex of your life. Each person’s chair is uplifted by others in the Loquate small group program, often over a lifetime.

• You can go at your own pace.
• Your interiorly preferred work can be the apex of your life, a job only you can do from all eternity.
• Just follow that still small voice within.
• Create or join one of our interfaith small groups, based on shared experience of Natural Law, not advice. All are invited.

Let me explain. My chair was an avocation, something I did as a volunteer, not my work for pay. Over 50 years ago I set out trying to educate myself on sense of community. Today I have this. If I can do it, you can do it.

This is the story.
I first experienced sense of community from two back-to-back school experiences: one without, and one with, sense of community. Then later, after graduation, I compared two environments meeting people: one without, and one with, sense of community. Meeting a person at the most popular bar in Manhattan, was very different from meeting a person in the student union of Quincy College, a school with genuine sense of community, in Quincy, Illinois. I longed to bottle the difference. So as to offer it widespread. Scientifically I believed it was possible.

Fifty volunteer years later
I understand “you” make the difference when “you” are empowered to do so. The chair you sit in, is the empowerment. The empowerment occurs in small groups. In science you have to know what equation to solve for. The Loquate X Factor is “Freedom to live your deepest beliefs in harmony with all.”

Let us call the source of this empowerment as “That which you value the most for the common good,” or Spirit, or God. Let us use the words interchangeably. No atheist, agnostic, or believer is confronted. Rather space or structure is provided. Over time wellbeing comes through diversity. All are welcome.

The interfaith miracle of the Loquate experience is that you never get into differences of belief. You share experience, not advice. You learn to trust another’s good common sense ability to find their own spiritual path of ardor of heart, extreme love for all mankind bringing peace on earth. With time and faith, this is fulfilling work. Today many outside of Loquate have in mind that we argue others into submission or even kill each other because we have different beliefs.

Now in my life I did not come straight at ardor of heart. A friend said it well. “I was going down a lot of wrong paths and it wasn’t working. A potential of ardor of heart was always there, but not until I experienced ardor of heart exclusive of none, did I experience peace.” So if the empowerment of this website is finding ardor of heart toward you, and in permitting you to experience ardor of heart toward all those around you, who can argue with the beauty of that?

Company Objective:

Ethnocentrism means believing one’s culture is best. This leads to wars. Peace may only be accomplished without ethnocentrism. Ethnocentrism leads to warring tendencies.

The unique role Loquate plays is fostering community, kindness, and ongoing education.

Loquate defines sense of community as an environment characterized by togetherness and sharing as opposed to cool detachment. The leaders in the environment know the members and go out of their way to be helpful. Though the members are quite diverse, personal diversity is celebrated for its contribution. There is a sense of group loyalty and group support. The atmosphere is cohesive. The environment is a community.

On the sense of community scale where are you?

About our small groups

Over 50 years ago, what I was after for myself and everyone was to experience community. That was a tougher job than I thought but here is the website.

You can do the same. God will provide for the common good. My single biggest lesson was I cannot do it alone. I need you. I need volunteers. My spirituality needs sense of community found in Loquate’s small group program. It is necessary but not sufficient. I also need my House of Worship for nourishment of my soul.

Most people believe others keep them from being free. When our Smart® habits are rejected, we do not judge. We respond with compassion and love. In turn the Spirit offers a bubble of protection that I call community in unity with all mankind. Today, the Loquate Experience is found in you and in sponsoring organizations. Freedom to live one’s deepest beliefs in harmony with all is incredible value.

The greater the sense of community, the greater the member’s perception of well-being coming from the sponsoring organization.

Loquate treasures its independence consistent with its mission as a ripple organization for peace.

Mission

Loquate’s mission is to work with members of groups and organizations:

• To develop the member’s diversity and sense of shared humanity thru self awareness,
• To develop a sense of community in small groups of self aware members,
• To develop the sense of community within the larger group or organization of which they are a part,
• To develop the larger group or organization into a catalyst for the sense of community in its surrounding environment,
• To spread the sense of community throughout our fragile world using small functional incubator groups to serve as a model for peace.

Welcome to Loquate

The Loquate Experience is empowerment. Loquate is organized as a charity not for profit. Its work is building community under the trademark Smart® Natural Law that brings peace on earth one small group at a time. The Loquate Experience is a manner of speaking. In Latin Loquate means “Speak!”

The ideal viewpoint is as follows: honesty manifests itself in our communication with others.  It is as though our communication were a natural physical process, containing all the moods of the ocean and a total absence of fear that what we are doing is wrong. It is spontaneous and deep, creative and engrossing.  The direction of honesty is to bring us closer to others, and to ourselves, our genuine desires, our strengths and our weaknesses.
