For the purposes of review, for those who have read my platform, here is the bottom part of my Matrix for LIFE, that outlines the steps that I felt were necessary for achieving a step by step and accountable vision for societal/planetary change and healing:
In order to achieve the LIFE honouring vision of a community that we are all seeking to create and experience, it will be necessary to move through a series of steps that allow people to not only see and understand what is happening, but also to not fall into fear, because the vision is clearly outlined for them.
This is unlike most people interested in politics, as they only make promises and vague statements of what they want to do, without providing a reasonable, concrete plan for doing so.
This is my 'hempcrete' plan. ; ) I say 'hempcrete' plan because, for those who are familiar with hempcrete (made from hemp and limestone), they will know that hempcrete 'breathes', which makes it more adaptable for building.
This vision is open for modification and change. It is only meant to be a foundation for change, to give people ideas about how to improve and build upon this foundation.
At the ROOT level of the corruption in our world lie three main institutions: Governance, Business and Religion. Readers who are strongly attached to their religious faiths may take offence to this, but they do not know what I have learned. For now, this is irrelevant.
I wish to focus on my first steps would be, IF I was a leader of the first Asgardian government. These steps to improve governance would lead to phase two, then phase three as detailed above.
A government that truly aspires to care about its people while also creating a LIFE honouring vision for the development of the society needs to first become the example of that which it seeks to bring to society.
The idea... is to design and construct a LIFE honouring, holistic infrastructure as well as possible, the FIRST time, without having to waste time, energy, and resources fixing bad things later on. Give people a healthy infrastructure in which to live, and they will be less likely to rebel against it.
The first steps:
1. Create a system of law that does not use commercial rules given the force of law. 'Law' primarily falls under three criteria: i) harm to humans ii) harm to personal property and iii) unfair and/or harmful business/contract dealings that are harmful to humans and/or our planet.
This is first because it sets the standard for how everything that follows must be created. Whatever is done and by whom, must follow a standard that does not harm humans or our planet and all business dealings must be done in good faith and honour. This includes the government, and government officials cannot seek to place themselves above any law that harms humans, our planet or to give themselves unfair advantage in business/contractual dealings.
1 b) Create a judicial system that follows the principles of many indigenous tribes. This is the formation of 'Truth and Reconciliation' commissions to deal with incidents of harm that may arise. The intention of this is to avoid creating a system that punishes bad behaviour, but instead deals with the issues in a holistic way, involving both sides involved in any incident, as well as their families.
1c) Lay the foundation for the creation of a centre for counselling, that seeks to help people deal with their emotion, mental, physical and spiritual baggage that they may find themselves dealing with in this new society. Having people who are trained to assist people in dealing with the rapidly shifting energies on our planet will be very important to the future success of Asgardia.
2. Create a safe and secure system of electronic voting. At this time, my research suggests that the 'hash graph' technology will be better for this purpose than the blockchain technology, for several reasons. Here is why this is important: The democratic process needs to be established quickly, so that anything done in the beginning has the initial support of the people.
It is my suggestion that on the 25th of each month, all the proposed items of business for the following month be listed on a webpage, and the citizens be allowed to vote numerically, how important they feel each item is. Items receiving the most overall votes will be addressed in order, and any items not getting addressed during the month can be moved forward to the following month.
3. Initiate a program to secure at least five to ten acres (20000 to 40000 sq metres) of land for the purposes of growing hemp/cannabis. Why is this important?
i) Hemp matures quickly, in three to four months
ii) Many different parts of the plant can be used to get new, green industries started for Asgardia to fund future projects while also supporting the citizens with jobs, products and services.
iii) Hemp can be used for: biofuel, clothing, construction, food, health, transportation, and much more. Anything extra can be traded or sold for products or services that the community is unable to produce or buy immediately. People will be trained in skills that are 'green', and that will directly contribute to the success of the community.
iv) Perhaps most importantly, I believe hemp can be used to create, or at least contribute to, the construction of the permanent station and settlement in space. Having access to local resources and talent will greatly minimize costs involved in completing the structure.
4. Support the building of vertical tower gardens for food production. This process uses much less water than plants grown in soil, and can produce significantly more produce quickly. This food can be used to supply the community with healthy, fresh, organic food which contributes to the health and well being of the community.
5. Find and begin construction of, free energy systems that will provide each house, apartment or governmental building with the energy it needs to operate. Money from hemp or other projects may contribute to this.
6. Encourage the development and construction of one or more biospheres that offer natural, healthy lighting during long dark nights. (This part assumes that Asgardia must first start with some kind of settlement on Earth, before the space structure is built.
This is just the beginning! The main idea is to create an infrastructure that exists to provide its citizens with everything healthy to allow them to feel safer and more secure in their personal environments.
