It is most certainly correct and self evident even to the non-spiritual that we do not own the earth or its resources or its creatures, but we do own our systems and certain rights in our person.
With ownership comes responsibility. Usurping such responsibility is reprehensible, however, we cannot force belief and action on anyone. Instead, their reward, and I am no expert of what the various belief systems teach on this, is in their hands whether it is the beautiful posterity they leave next generations or some troubles or benefits thereafter.
It is self evident that we “own” our systems and our rights and that such ownership comes with relevant responsibility. Some of that is in assuring the access to such rights by others and some is in maintaining our own, still more is in harnessing and controlling the human systems for positive affect. Righteous integrity is embodied in the energy and self sacrifice we put forth toward the stewardship of these responsibilities for the good of life on earth.

I don't believe in destroying what is here today. I believe in building a future that outperforms and solved inadequacies and failures of present and the past.
My driving intent and focus goes to empower the agrarian reality. I dream of and believe in the need for agrarian renaissance.
Agrarians are those rooted and sustained by the local landscape and community.
I believe that through agrarian success, the world can see a major shift in the human inflicted global ecological effect. We can see a symbiotic future that embraces, feeds on, and promotes ecological and cultural diversity. We can see people, through the natural living of their lives, effecting a rapidly regenerating global environment and reversal of longstanding global desertification.
Since we can, we should. Social engineering? well kind of, yeah. It is intelligent strategic paradigm development. Our civilizational paradigm tends to orient any and all diverse cultures to effect environmental harm/footprint. Therefore, we need to reorient the paradigm to naturally effect regenerative and symbiotic relationships with nature instead.
Agrarian society is in free fall as the paradigm orients cultures and societies around global financial economy with built in rewards and penalties (remember agrarian by definition is place and community oriented).
I believe it is not only possible but crucial to resuscitate and accentuate the infrastructure for global agrarianism and to do it in such a way as to enable renaissance/flowering.
That is my life's work, my passion, and what I live for and would be happy to die for any day of the week. This blog is my rough and in many instances unedited writings on the subject. These are not refined articles. They are a semi-formal journaling to log ideas I find important.
