Some of My Beliefs
To me, the highest goal for all of us is survival. It does not matter what color we are, what gender or what "nationality" we are. We are all to here to work together to increase the chances that the human species will survive.
The best way to do that, I believe, is to help each other, not hurt each other. This is why I am opposed to war and punishment. I do not believe these are the ways to improve human life on earth. Nor do I think they are in line with the general trend of evolution.
I believe the reason people do things which we commonly refer to as sick and criminal is generally a result of their unmet emotional needs.
Instead of the concept of human "rights", I believe it is more accurate and more helpful to think in terms of individual needs. See Human Rights vs Individual Needs
I also believe we are here to solve problems -- problems which interfere with the survival of the species. The more problems we solve as adults the fewer we pass on to children
Here are more on my thoughts for a new belief system and what I believe is the general trend of evolution.

Excerpt:
Children have basic inalienable rights--to be fed, clothed, sheltered, and protected. But along with these physical rights, they have the right to be nurtured emotionally, to have their feelings respected, and to be treated in ways that allow them to develop a sense of self-worth.
... to make mistakes, to be disciplined without being physically or emotionally abused.
... to be children. To spend their early years being playful, spontaneous, and irresponsible.
toxic parents: significantly impaired in their own emotional health; unavailable to meet their children's needs; expect and demand that the children meet the parents needs.

Contacting Peter Salovey and Jack Mayer
By this time people started asking me questions, as if I were some kind of authority in the field. They would also ask me things like, "How do I reach Peter Salovey?" So at some point I contacted Peter and asked how he would feel if I put his email address on my site. He wrote back a very open, very personal note and said he would rather I didn't because he was already getting something like 100 or 150 emails a day. He did offer to put together a list of the papers which he and his colleague, Jack Mayer, had written.

• Emotional intelligence skills
• Interpersonal communications skills

Daniel Goleman, Author of Emotional Intelligence
Excerpt:

Biographical Information

"Daniel Goleman consults internationally and lectures frequently. He is founder of Emotional Intelligence Services, an affiliate of the Hay Group in Boston. A psychologist who for many years reported on the brain and behavioral sciences for The New York Times, Dr. Goleman's 1995 book, Emotional Intelligence (Bantam Books), argues that human competencies like self-awareness, self-discipline, persistence and empathy are of greater consequence than IQ in much of life, that we ignore the decline in these competencies at our peril, and that children can -- and should -- be taught these abilities. Emotional Intelligence was on The New York Times bestseller list for a year-and-a-half, with more than 5,000,000 copies in print and was translated into nearly 30 languages. Dr. Goleman is a co-founder of the Collaborative for Social and Emotional Learning at the Yale University Child Studies Center (now at the University of Illinois at Chicago), with the mission to help schools introduce emotional literacy courses. Dr. Goleman is co-chairman of The Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations at Rutgers University. Dr. Goleman has received two nominations for the Pulitzer Prize for his articles in the Times, and a Career Achievement award for journalism from the American Psychological Association. He was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Dr. Goleman received his M.A. and Ph.D. from Harvard in clinical psychology and personality development." ^[1]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emotional_Intelligence_Appraisal
Excerpt:
 Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT), based on the model first proposed by Mayer and Salovey in 1990.^[2] The results indicated a positive, but non-significant correlation between the Emotional Intelligence Appraisal and the MSCEIT. This suggests a distinction between the construct measured by these assessments, as one is ability-based and the other is skill-based.^[3]

Excerpt:

Salovey then talked about a personal encounter with Bill Clinton, who Salovey used as an example of someone with high emotional intelligence.  Salovey showed a seemingly ordinary photograph of himself shaking Clinton’s hand at a Yale ceremony.  Before that handshake, Salovey had actually cut off Clinton’s limousine while parking.  It is therefore understandable why Salovey seems a bit anxious in the photograph, as he pointed out by focusing on his feigned smile. Clinton was able to read his anxiety, reaching out to him with a charismatic attitude and ignoring their previous encounter on the street, for which Salovey was thankful.  Salovey concluded his talk with a few stories from his travels and then handed the microphone to Betsy Bradley before running to a press conference concerning the Machu Picchu artifacts.  His talk drew people in, energized them with laughter at 8 A.M. and was an interesting start to a day full of intricate discussions about global health puzzles.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Salovey
Excerpt:
Mr. Salovey has authored or edited thirteen books translated into eleven languages and published more than 350 journal articles and essays, focused primarily on human emotion and health behavior. With John D. Mayer, he developed a broad framework called Emotional Intelligence, the theory that just as people have a wide range of intellectual abilities, they also have a wide range of emotional skills that profoundly affect their thinking and action. In his research on health behavior, Mr. Salovey investigates the effectiveness of health promotion messages in persuading people to change risky behaviors relevant to cancer and HIV/AIDS.

Professor denied appointment at Yale sues CIA and FBI

The lawsuit was filed just one week after Yale rejected a request from the Middle East Studies Association for an investigation into whether the Bush administration influenced Yale's decision to reject Cole's appointment in 2006.

MESA had already contacted then-Provost Andrew Hamilton in June 2006 to voice concerns that political pressure had prevented Cole's appointment, but Hamilton replied ten days later that "an individual’s political views are never taken into account in making appointment decisions.” The organization renewed its efforts on Cole's behalf after the New York Times reported June 15 that a former senior C.I.A. official claimed members of the Bush administration had attempted to discredit Cole.
Provost Peter Salovey said in a July 7 letter to MESA President Suad Joseph that there was "no evidence of inappropriate external interference or other impropriety" in Cole's appointment decision, and that no one from the government or the Bush administration had contacted Salovey, Levin or the deans overseeing the appointment process.
