Evidence from the ethnographic record and data from a variety of disciplines, including anthropology, psychology, gerontology, philosophy, and evolutionary theory, suggests a way of life that creates new possibilities for the human condition and the environment we inhabit. That environment is one of a grounded environment that respects the laws and principles of evolution and survival in community. In contrast to the ideal characteristics of people and environment it is useful to compare this on a theoretical level with those conditions that have created unhappiness, conflict, and violence at all levels of social and cultural complexity. Specifically, we find that the universal personal qualities of spirituality, the ideal characteristics of the healer, recent research findings on happiness, and the conditions of longevity, here labeled orthogeriatrics, all dovetail and reinforce each other creating a synergy of high human potential. An evolutionary perspective on these various qualities suggests an orientation and direction for citizens of the human species to consider in their contributions to a new world order; a utopia that grows from within the heart and spirit of each human being
