About Us
The Realist Society of Canada — a registered non-profit religious organization dedicated to world peace through a common understanding of reality.
Our Story
The Realist Society of Canada was founded to give expression to a faith grounded in a simple but profound conviction: that the universe is conscious, that all minds are one, and that a shared understanding of reality is the path to world peace.
Drawing on the pioneering work of physicist Amit Goswami and the philosophical tradition of metaphysical realism, the Society was established as a registered non-profit religious organization in Canada.
From the beginning, the Society has been committed to building a faith community that is both intellectually honest and spiritually sincere — one that takes seriously the insights of modern science while honouring the deep human need for worship, belonging, and meaning.
Mission & Vision
Our Mission
To advance the understanding and worship of the Self-Aware Universe, to foster a faith community rooted in consciousness and truth, and to contribute to world peace through the shared pursuit of reality.
Our Vision
A world in which all people recognize the unity of consciousness, embrace the pursuit of truth, and live in peace through a common understanding of reality.
Our Values
World Peace
We believe a common understanding of reality is the foundation of lasting peace. When all minds recognize their unity, conflict gives way to harmony.
Compassionate Community
Our faith is practiced in community — through shared worship, mutual support, and acts of service. Every person is an expression of the SAU.
Truth & Integrity
We hold that truth consists in a belief's correspondence to reality. Every new observation brings us closer to understanding. We pursue truth with humility.
Leadership
The Society is governed by a dedicated board of directors committed to the advancement of Realism and the stewardship of our community. Our leadership brings together diverse perspectives united by a shared devotion to truth, consciousness, and the pursuit of world peace.
