Through conflict and competition we have built the structures in which scarcity exists today.
But are these scarcity structures currently serving our needs? Their parameters and functions only seem to feed the machine that is exponential growth through the built-in debt cycle.
Do we need more products, goods and services? Do we need more hotels, shopping centres and highways?
Scarcity models have been driven by conflict, competition and exponential growth almost to the point of destruction. How then do we bring about more innovative ways of thinking, interacting and cooperating?
We need to work together to find new ways, logics and systems of thinking that lead to healing, playing to our unique talents and natural abilities to make a difference thereby giving our lives more meaning and purpose.
Are we looking at a new cycle of creation in the evolutionary context in which we exist today? One not so much driven by the violent forces of conflict and competition. But one more driven by cooperation and the moulding of our unique talents into something new.
On a deeper level, are the forces of bondage inherent in scarcity structures separate from the forces that seek to be free from them? In a sense I don't think they are. They are one and the same. One cannot exist without the other.
In the same way life cannot exist without death, pleasure without pain, God without no God. Are these not all one in the same? The world is neither moral nor immoral, but just amoral. It is neither for us nor against us. We determine the future.
