Did you notice, that we offered food for the soul for free? Accepting or not is a free decision to act. By doing or not. The relevant message you find in Latest News

Praying to the converted makes little sense. Convert the ignorant instead is the work of pathfinders. Or, to be more exact: The path of the warrior. Ignorance is restricted to walk on paved ways. A pathfinder paves the way looking forward, not backward to the following herd in search for a full belly.
That is the fight of the warrior: To pave the way to fill the belly. There are many warriors paving ways. New ways. There are little followers. Ignorance prefers the old ways. They ignore the toll houses plastering the old way. They are not built by the pathfinders. They are built by the most violent ignorant. This pretenders of truth usual kill the pathfinder to exploit the trust of the commons which the pathfinder generated whilst walking the talk.
Fortunately this is the past.
Time is a fixed parameter. Once each year the sun is exactly at the same position than it was at birth. This day is called birthday. Things change. Each birthday is different. The past cannot be recalled.
We are all pathfinders now. Searching for the path between truth and lie in a changing environment where we have no glue about the coming. Statistics are usually not fake. But they can deliver only the truth of the past. There is no truth about the future. Only theory. Some of this theories will be the reality.
We are pathfinders. We started to translate our endeavours into action 30 years ago. They anticipated the state of today. We were right. From soil and water to food for the soul. This is a central and multiple solution.
We are right. The rhythms are true. Rhythm and Truth is the future of a transparent society. No rhythm and no truth is doom.
Welcome to the club you desire.

Why continuing the struggle if it is just a small step to finish it? Or do you know, if the Commons is not an idealistic dream? Like being a piece of charcoal in a fire hoping for rain?
We could not even reduce the fires on our planet, instead we contributed to two wildfires with the biomass we had generated. Today billions of fires are burning. Down to the heat of the mobile in the pocket, the PC in front and the lamp above. Devices generate more heat by using the heat which is set free during energy production. I do not talk about CO2 or gases, which are set free during fossil fuel or Uranium transformation. I talk about sources of heat. Not only water comes from the source.
There is no doubt. It is getting warm. We are living in a closed room or sphere called atmo sphere. Where does the additional heat disappear when the coffee water boils? Or when an ocean is 2 ° Celsius warmer? It can be the reason for a new ice age but it is more probable that the atmosphere of our house heats up.
Unfortunately there is no window to open, if it gets hot in our house. We have knowledge about our house. The knowledge is called Ecology from the Greek Oikos meaning house and Logos meaning knowledge. Ecologists know their house better than other professions know it. Or is the professional rule that Psychologists, Oenologists or Cardiologists are specialised on their professions set out of order in case of ecology?
Now it is so hot in our house that the cooling devices of the global air condition are overheating and diminish abruptly their cooling capacities. The predictable outcome is 100% clear and not a welcomed forecast. It is the time we are living in.
Commons are realistic on a liveable planet. If we continue BAU, commons will take place in paradise or hell. But this is theory as there is no knowledge available concerning the day after and onwards.
Did we do, what we can do?
Towards the Commons

It is the right time for a new comment on this theme.
Excerpt from a post of the past: “Towards the Commons implies to build up a non-competitive transparency network where solidarity emerges. We can see and feel the energetic output of the synchronization of walk and talk. It is a new form of movement and starts like any seed with its germination”.
The moment when an idea emerges is similar to the moment when the seed changes its form. A dormant potential wakes up.
From this moment onwards idea and seed come in contact with the outside world. It is the moment when they start interacting in a perpetual complex system of giving and taking. Humanity diverted to an unbalanced being with an ultimate priority of taking all and giving nothing. In terms of democratic majorities the givers are a marginalized mini minority as far as they do not give to get something from someone.
The recently died Mr. Rockefeller built an imperium of wealth on the life of hundreds of thousands enslaved people. He was presented to the public as a rich Philanthropist, a heart full giver. He gavefor one reason: To get more. That is the contrary of giving.
And why it is the right time for this essay? Because of this video:
It is an easy understandable impression of giving and taking. A balanced system in work. Wouldn`t you agree, that it is a beautiful educative tool?
In this video the insight viewis translated into a larger scale of the diversity of giving and taking.

The pictures show what happens, if water is given to an idea or to a seed. A formerly not existing mental field or biotope emerges and the causal chain of development got a new link. Any new link is an opportunity to strengthen or weaken or alter the causal chain.
reCREaTE is a high potential opportunity to copy beauty for adults and to understand complexity as a reality game for the youth.

Why the commons, what commons, what is it? I know my point of view only. I come from a culture which copied the geometric form of the pyramids as eternally valid skeleton of the social space.
Above the top was the kingdom of the gods. The limited size of the pyramid`s top was occupied in ancient times by the best translators of the unreachable variety of the gods. The gods were personalized omnipotent symbols of human fears and virtues. My cultural space, as alternative expression for the Western civilisation, is traced back to the Egyptian/Mesopotamian high civilisations. In that mythical time a High Priestess set the content of believe. This was copied downwards to materialize in social behaviour. The implemented skeleton, the order of the social space was a polytheistic Matriarchate. In Minoan time a coup d’état lifted a High priest to the top. He transformed the social skeleton into a polytheistic Patriarchate. Man overtook.
Natural rhythms are.
Another coup d’état took place and out of the turmoil of the declining Roman Imperium emerged a pope occupying the chief translator post at the top. Believe shifted to a monotheistic Patriarchate. Thge top the Pyramid was equal to God. Money became God
Natural rhythms continue.
We feel, that change is on its way. We are in it. Divided. Most fear to lose the acquired believe and fight violently the disrupters of that believe. Over the run of 6000 years we lived the possible varieties of hierarchic believe. The commons are a consequent outcome of this transformations. The hierarchic approach failed to maintain the needed energetic balances .
We know, that life bases on spirals in movement. With the speed of a snail.
We are intrinsically connected to each other and each form of life wherever. We are part of one big complex system. The pyramid has outperformed. We are not God but the planet and the planet is we. We are the commons

Our blog is the diary of our activities. Me, Thomas, will moderate it. It will be the dairy of our efforts to re-cultivate the degraded soils of our plots at BIOCrete and the regeneration of the wild life area.
It was not our choice that both sites collapsed in a disastrous wild fire in August this year. It was a disaster for us and all life.

From soil and water to food for the soul.
The agrable soil around the planet is degenerating in an accelerating downwards spiral. The knowledge how to regenerate soil life and soil fertility with natural techniques is not available for most of them which need it most: The billions of small farmers providing 75% of our food. Soil losses are seriously infecting the entire food chain.
I will document our interventions. I will document the works and the materials needed and the outcome over time. The scale of action is related to our capacities to care for the soil and make a life in imposed industrial rhythms. The industrial system marginalizes natural ressource protection into uncompetitiveness.
We hope we are blessed with a mind blowing blog. It does not depend on me like it does not depend on the seed alone: Without benevolent environment growth and development is restricted.
This blog is O U R communicative platform. All photo documents are titled with their relevant dates. There will be different document chapters over time for each cultivation and for each plot.
