Rebuilding Society from the ground up
Wednesday, August 24th, 2011
The recent riots were shocking, but they were not a surprise. They were waiting to happen. This is not for one simple reason but for several complex ones. But it is not the reasons that should be central here, except in what they tell us about what is now needed.
Principles of Life from Biomimicry: Tapping the Power of Limits
Wednesday, July 20th, 2011
Economically and in terms of energy consumption, everything we’ve been doing has been geared around the belief that we can grow exponentially forever. Biomimics ask the question: What would nature do here?

In my view there is a coming together that we have yet to achieve, which represents our ability to support the world through a difficult transition. For me that will be a sign of our maturity, and of our ability to take these wonderful maps and brilliant theories and apply them.

So – hands up who thinks that the NHS is perfectly alright as it is, and needs nothing done to improve it? Well, this is all in my imagination, but I am not seeing any hands going up. Most specifically I am not seeing them from anyone who works in the NHS.

Are you spiritually intelligent? I sit here having planned for this blog to be about multiple intelligences. I have a swollen black eye with two small cuts, having failed to control the release of a bungee chord that was tying up a bundle of timber in my car. Blame it on cold fingers as I [...]

Humanity has been stuck – seemingly forever – in its challenge to understand the relationship between the material world and the other reality that is represented by mystical experience, intuition, shamanism, meditation and prayer. This can seem like a choice between realities. It isn’t. There is a piece missing which once understood, explains everything.
Preparing for Global Bankruptcy
Friday, March 18th, 2011
Despite the apparent ability of the world economy to survive, bankruptcy is already here. By way of reminder, global indebtedness exceeds ten years of global production. If you need another statistic, the UK national debt is now £77,000 for every inhabitant of this country. We have mortgaged our own future and that of our children.
People not Platforms. Now that the Parties are over
