Discuss: The Transition Initiative

I´ve heard of Transition Towns before but never took the time to read about it until now. I´m so happy to found this article. Everything in it is encouraging and enlightening. I´m even more happy to see that this movement arrived to Sweden, Malmö and I will not be late to join it.
Thanks for a wonderful reading. I will send it foward to all my love once.

Global capitalism in its current iteration is not democratic nor just in its failure to provide for the common spirit & wellness of living beings & living systems, as it systematically violates every principle of a market economy, instead setting up an interesting juxtaposition because it points to the possibility that there really is an alternative.

An alternative based on what is good for the goose is good for the gander where relationships on every level, between hominids & their living environment have the capacity to reach a level of balance & harmony to achieve mutual dynamic equilibrium, to create a new paradigm of relationships built on trust,honor,integrity,and cooperation, that will bring harmony, and balance to ultimately restore both our humanness with the natural world, and respect for the dignity of all living systems.

Living capital having the ability to continuously regenerate itself, is ultimately the source of all real wealth, and to simply destroy it for the sake of money with no intrinsic value being created out of thin air as both fiat & usury to the end user on a fictitious ledger by criminal international banking empire’s to manipulate & control the ultimate health, wealth & prosperity of nations for its own accumulation of wealth & thus power, is an act of collective insanity—which makes capitalism a mental, as well as a physical pathology.

As Professor David Korten articulates in “ Life After Capitalism”, “to create a world in which life can flourish and prosper we must replace the values and institutions of capitalism with values and institutions that honor life, serve life’s needs, and restore money to its proper role as servant. I believe we are in fact being called to take a step to a new level of species consciousness and function”.
