The Buddha says, “I am not wise, I am awake”
I was once asked whether the creation and growth of a black budget in the US was to deal with aliens — i.e., did extraterrestrials exist? I responded that I did not know what the truth was, but that if aliens did not exist, then different parts of the human race had grown so far apart from each other in terms of access to financial and intellectual capital and use of scientific technology that we had become as good as aliens to each other. In short, the leadership’s way of dealing with non-sustainability is to consider a significant portion of the global population as sub-human, exploitable and expendable.
Sustainability begins with my family, my community and me. Removing corruption begins with removing it from my feelings, thoughts, actions… Part of our paralysis…originates in our ignorance of what the great teachers of spirituality and quantum physics can teach us about the potential power of a small group of people when they act in accordance with natural and divine laws. We vastly overestimate how many of us it takes, acting in concert to, radically shift power in favor of the forces of decentralization.
We have reached a point in our evolution where we have two potential pathways — we can prototype, develop and institute something like the Solari model and the alternative technologies and lifestyles that it makes possible or we can depopulate.
Every investment - whether it be of our time, our attention or our resources - has an impact on the related financial and living ecosystem.
