Greater Social Life Union of Worcester

Worcester, MA

Greater Social Life Union of Worcester

The Thumoslang Network is an association of groups whose members use Thumoslang, the nomenclature for social clarity, as their basic strategy for greater social life. Part of the network is the Greater Social Life Union (GSLU). Its mission is long-lasting joy for its members through faster actualization of their personal ideals.

There are many steps on your journey to greater social life. Here are the first steps for members of GSLU. After reading the rest of this introduction, you should read the 2021 book The Guide to Thumoslang. Many of our members put this new knowledge into practice as suggested by The GSLU Handbook.

When you spend more time in damage control mode and less time benefiting from your various relations, you waste a great deal of effort in your social life. Such a cost of opportunity keeps you from going at high speed towards your ideals, in creating your ideal self, and in actualizing what you truly want to become. This is likely due to a lack of social clarity, which is essential for internal conversations and vital for meaningful relationships.

Unintentionally created in 2017, accidentally discovered in 2018, and first taught in 2019, Thumoslang is the nomenclature for social clarity. It is used as a language for faster communication, be it in complex collaboration or difficult conversation. The first widespread use of social clarity has been predicted by Thumoslang pioneers to be just as important as the first widespread control of fire. All is explained by The Guide to Thumoslang, which is backed by The Dictionary of Thumoslang.

Again, the Thumoslang Network is an association of groups whose members use Thumoslang, the nomenclature for social clarity, as their basic strategy for greater social life. Part of the network is the Greater Social Life Union (GSLU). Its mission is long-lasting joy for its members through faster actualization of their personal ideals.

Your ideals are the same as your ideal self, which means what you truly want to become. "Everything else is secondary," said Steve Jobs. Our group activities involve you with the first practical steps in the further development of your ideals, in keeping others from interfering with your life, and in building a group of in-person friends who keep on encouraging you and nurturing your ideals. To be sure, if you lack social clarity in your internal conversations, face unwanted drama too often, are not sure of your social life or your path into the future, or have no friends and no groups available on a regular basis to help create your ideal self, this group is for you.

*** MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS ***

Our group activities bring you the following benefits:

Benefit 1 - Mastery of Relationships

Benefit 2 - Best Friends for Your Ideals

Our group activities include practical steps in building a group of in-person friends who keep on encouraging you and nurturing your ideals.

Benefit 3 - Internal Dialogues More Effective

Thumoslang is a set of terminology whose use is intended to benefit one's clarity in social situations. Consequently, Thumoslang allows you to have clearer communication with yourself in your mind.

Benefit 4 - Meaningful Relationships Much Stronger

Our members use Thumoslang to mend or strengthen their existing relationships, build new relations, and achieve greater social life.

Benefit 5 - Faster Actualization of Your Ideals

The actualization of your ideals goes faster when it regularly involves your best group, which is the small group of in-person, second-mind friends who are the best for the nurturing of your ideals. Our activities help you speed up the actualization of your ideals by reducing social roadblocks and increasing social shortcuts in your life.

**A Bold Adventure** A Group of Intrepid Hikers - Intrepid = Adventurous. A group for anyone who love a good hike. **Our mission:** meet fellow hikers, hike together, take breaks together and experience the beauty of nature and discover new places. Also, some fun social networking and optional jumping jacks. **Difficulty level** of hikes will vary throughout the hiking season, though please note focus of group is hiking not walking. Generally speaking every hike has uneven terrain and some basic navigating of terrain is quite necessary. Most hikes are moderate to challenging difficulty and standard pace is 2 to 4 miles per hour. See below for more details and link to hike calculator. [http://www.nwhiker.com/HikeEval.html](http://www.nwhiker.com/HikeEval.html) **Hiker Responsibility Code** is a set of principles that all hikers can look to before they hit the trail. It also acknowledges the inherent danger of hiking in the back country and encourages hikers to be better prepared every time they are on the trail. You are responsible for yourself, so be prepared: **Hiker Responsibility Code** [http://www.hikesafe.com](http://www.hikesafe.com) You are responsible for yourself, so be prepared: 1. **With knowledge and gear**. Become self-reliant by learning about the terrain, conditions, local weather and your equipment before you start. 2. **To leave your plans**. Tell someone where you are going, the trails you are hiking, when you will return and your emergency plans. 3. **To stay together.** When you start as a group, hike as a group, end as a group. Pace your hike to the slowest person. Take breaks as a group. 4. **To turn back.** Weather changes quickly in the mountains. Fatigue and unexpected conditions can also affect your hike. Know your limitations and when to postpone your hike. The mountains will be there another day. 5. **For emergencies.** Even if you are headed out for just an hour, an injury, severe weather or a wrong turn could become life threatening. Don’t assume you will be rescued; know how to rescue yourself. 6\. To share the hiker code with others\. **Pets are permitted:** Must be on a 10-foot maximum leash and attended at all times. Must have proof of current Rabies vaccine. Please be courteous and clean up after your pet. If carpooling is required for posted hike then dogs are not permitted.
