Something More Than Changing Light Bulbs

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

We are in the midst of a major environmental crisis, and the current solutions presented by the media are not enough to change the tides.  While it’s great that people and businesses are thinking and acting more “green”, small changes alone will not be enough to bail ourselves out.

Here are the steps that we need to take:

•  We need immediate and total transformation of the current system.   The majority of the problems that we are facing today are a result of our everyone-for-themselves (EFT) systems—especially free-market capitalism.

•  We need to establish a new and better system, Communities that are based on The Highest Good For All which will create abundance on all levels for all, including Nature.

•  Building one cluster of six 500 person Communities to demonstrate The Highest Good model is what is needed to start the positive transformation of the planet.  As people see how easily this can be done, this will create a catalyst for the rest of the planet to follow, and will require far fewer resources than trying to get the EFT paradigm to act quickly to save our planet.

Will you join us in creating the Communities that will start the process towards healing our planet?

Ecology

Friday, June 20th, 2008

Until we start applying some logic into ecological to resolve the world’s interconnected crises, we’ll never be able to remove the stain in sustainable.  That stain is the legacy of the everyone-for-themselves system that has been in place unquestioned for thousands of years and is at the core of the environmental dilemma.

We need to realize that the everyone-for-themselves socio-economic-political paradigm is a broken system that is not only exceedingly wasteful and absurdly inefficient, but has also done much harm not only to nature but also to the quality of life for humans.

It seems like the Green Movement is dedicating itself to just creating Band-Aids for a broken system.  If we replaced the everyone-for-themselves system with one based of the Highest Good For All Life, we could do a universe more for ecology than what we’re doing now by trying to green the current system, and we could do this by investing in a Highest Good model just one one-millionth of the resources currently being spent on the Band-Aid approach.

The way we live together and relate together in Community is the basic building block needed to change the planet.  Help us manifest a Community model based on the Highest Good For All that can transform our world.  Let’s put the logic into ecological.
