It’s the opposite of “divide to conquer, keep divided to keep conquered” and it has a unique possibility called SYNERGY, sometimes known as emergent behavior where the sum of the whole is unpredicted by the individual parts.

There are other fascinating benefits of working together … one often called ‘the group effect’  where individuals performances improve when working or training with a group.

I’ve experienced this a number of times in sport, particularly in running teams where four or more team members run in rhythm and it’s an absolutely amazing feeling. I’ve also experienced it in business where the growth generated by an aligned team can be so explosive that it is difficult to manage without proper financial planning.

It’s just one of the reasons I love Buckminster Fuller or ‘Bucky’ as he was known, in particular for the clarity he brings  to almost every topic … and synergy of course was one of his favorite topics. See nothing in nature operates on it’s own! Yet as human beings we are very often working separately … and even just walking down the street don’t you sometimes feel a separation?

Launching SOON ...

Studying Buckminster Fuller and his work and reading biographies has had a profound shift in the way I view my life.

He said (c1975) that it no longer works to prosper personally at the exclusion of everyone else, or more accurately “It is no longer integrity to look after yourself at the expense of another.”

To do so means that you are not present to the opportunity or possibility that everyone can be abundantly SUCCESSFUL within a very short time.

Our current financial structure is still based on the Malthusian belief that there is not enough for everyone, and so it is accepted as OK to take what I can … even if it takes from someone else, or at the expense of another!

This is old thinking, this is dinosaur thinking …

Was ‘Bucky’ Fuller Right? Are We Digging A Deeper & Deeper Hole?

Bucky Fuller is one of the most important humans of the twentieth century, and one of the most original thinkers of our time … but how many people are listening to him?

Yes, he passed on in 1983 … but his books, audio trainings and DVD’s  live on.

There is also a business education program called Money & You that operates successfully round the world and teaching many of  Fuller’s principles.  I did the program in Australia in 1992 and contribute a large part of my business success and the soon to be launched ethical marketplace and member’s club Your Healthy Planet.com to what I learned there.

How many of our so called world leaders have even heard his name?

Sadly I think very few, otherwise we would not be where we are financially, environmentally or spiritually. He designed amazing buildings that were a fraction of the weight of conventional buildings and could be constructed in a fraction of the time.  He even designed floating cities because of the then high land prices (nothing has changed) and submerged cities. Today companies are designing and building what he saw possible fifty years ago.

In Rotterdam such a floating building has now been towed into place, and it is completely “off the grid” with passive solar design and complete treatment and recycling of waste. Click here or on the picture for more information.

Another thing Bucky said back in the 1970′s was that the economy would be better off if the government paid 70% of all employees to stay home, (those who consume more energy going to work, and who don’t actually produce any wealth or life support) and that they be paid around $1,000 per day.

WOW … I can hear some people saying “pick me, pick me … I’ll stay home”.

Fuller believed that human beings would naturally start looking for things to do once they no longer had to work for a living …  and they would very quickly be solving the problems that are at the heart of all humanity living together peacefully and in harmony with nature.

At present the vast majority of people justify their JOB or their business by saying things like, “Well I have to pay the rent / morgage” or “Someone has to put food on the table” or “What do you think money grows on trees or something.”

Were you aware that since the 1970′s when the “gold standard” was dropped money does grow on trees or at least it gets printed at will … which is almost the same thing.

It is staggering to hear the amount of money circulating in the US economy has more than doubled in the past 2 years. Similar events have occurred all over the developed world as governments try (in vain) to bail out banks and corporations and keep money flowing … like blood flowing in our veins.

Is Politics Relevant to Your Future on Planet Earth?

Australia has just terminated Kevin Rudd as it’s prime minister and replaced him with Julia Gillard as Australia’s first ever female prime minister, but what relevance does that event really have?

“Whether it is to be Utopia or Oblivion will be a touch-and-go relay race right up to final moment. The race is between a better informed, hopefully inspired young  world versus a running scared, misinformedly brain-conditioned, older world. Humanity is in “final exam” as to whether or not it qualifies for continuance in Universe as mind, with the latter’s access to the design laws —called by science “the generalized principles” —governing eternally regenerative Universe.”

“Human minds have a unique cosmic function not identifiable with any other phenomenon—the capability to act as local Universe information-harvesters and local problem solvers in support of the integrity of eternally regenerative Universe.”  — R Buckminster Fuller, xxxvi Introduction to Critical Path, c1981.

According to R Buckminster Fuller, considered by many as one of the most important humans of the twentieth century (c1895 – 1983) politics would be irrelevant by the year 2,000AD. Fuller made some fifty predictions throughout his lifetime, and this was one of only two that did not come true.

The other prediction was that poverty and hunger would no longer exist by 2,000AD and yet one billion people will go hungry today.

There have been many assertions that politics and ‘big business’ are one in the same, that they work together for mutual gain. In Australia we have seen a number of Prime Ministers take a ‘stand’ on issues that they believed were in the interest of the country, like taxation reform, health care, a resources tax and others … and do that at their peril.

Invariably the “power brokers” have their way and often one persons political career is ended.

These people of  integrity cannot back down, or take a side step. It is not in their making and we have seen that today in Australia as the prime ‘ministership’ changed hands.

What alternative do we have to a political machine?

Solar Is A Life Saver! More Than You Know!

And SOLAR is much easier than you think … as you will see in the following article by Barbara Young. But first consider the following …

“In general we have the capability, which can be fully realized within ten years, of producing and sustaining a higher standard of living for all humanity than that heretofore experienced or dreamt of by any.”  — R Buckminster Fuller, Critical Path (p199) c 1981

Imagine being paid a substantial income every day … more than you currently believe possible, and imagine that you are receiving that income courtesy of an ‘individual’ who already provides for all life on planet Earth, and has done so since time began; that individual being your SUN.

Located a safe 93 million miles (149 million kms) away from the nearest protoplasm the sun provides enough clean natural energy in one day to power the entire United States of America for the entire year and a half.

Simply by capturing five days worth of radiant energy we would provide sufficient energy for the entire world population … and it is entirely conceivable that “cosmic accounting” may indeed be the natural accounting system of our solar system.

Our streets have been ‘paved’ (lit up) with ‘gold’ and we have literally ‘walked on by’ without really giving it a second thought.

Is it any wonder that our ‘made up accounting system’, which is based on a paradigm that is no longer true today, (that there is scarcity on our planet – due to advances in technology this has not been the case for some forty years now) is about to either implode or explode. Thankfully nature has an inbuilt safety factor that is extremely generous by any conservative engineers judgment. Read the rest of this entry »

Is Warren Buffet’s Money Wealth, Or A Liability?

The definition of “wealth” according to Buckminster Fuller is “the number of days forward you can continue to live (at your current standard of living) if you stopped working today”.

In many developed countries, including Australia and the United States the wealth of an average person today is a matter of days, or weeks … in other words while they generally own a house and a car plus other possessions they must keep on working to continue to enjoy them. If they lost their employment the vast majority would have to spend their savings, sell some possessions or even downsize their house and lifestyle very quickly to survive.

Warren Buffet is in the media a lot, and at 79 years of age many articles about him focus attention on his 2006 pledge to give 99% of his assets to charity, particularly through the Bill Gates Foundation. Doing so, he said in a recent letter on Fortune’s website, would leave his lifestyle “untouched”. Read the rest of this entry »

How Can You Benefit By Creating Your Healthy Planet.com?

Ever heard the saying “You must start with the end in mind”?

Owning a Tesla S Electric Plug-in sedan would be a wonderful start wouldn’t it! No emissions electric vehicles will soon be a regular site on roads all around the world.

To create a healthy, sustainable and abundant planet for everyone to enjoy we must first develop a clear picture of what that looks like, and then we must keep that picture in mind … some people I know call that “stiletto heeled focus”.  It must also be a “global picture”.

It is obvious today that the vast majority of people are kept so busy simply trying ‘to make ends meet’ that they rarely have a chance to look at the bigger global picture, (except for what they see on the television) let alone attempt to understand it. But in reality it isn’t that difficult to understand once you become a little bit informed and you realize one CRITICAL FACT.

That critical fact is that THERE IS ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE on planet Earth … and thanks to technology it has been that way now for some forty (40) years or more, and again thanks to technology it is becoming more and more obvious that we can indeed look after everyone at a very high standard of living, whilst at the same time repairing the damage we have incurred to mother earth.

“The success of all humanity can be accomplished only by a terrestrially comprehensive, technologically competent design revolution. This revolution must develop artifacts whose energy-use efficiency not only occasions the artifacts’ spontaneous adoption by humanity, but therewith also occasions the inadvertent, unregretted abandonment and permanent obsolescence of socially and economically undesirable viewpoints, customs and practices.”  — R Buckminster Fuller, p199 Critical Path c1981.

Your Healthy Planet.com is one such example of an artifact designed to conserve energy while producing exceptional results through it’s use in particular of cooperation and synergy. Imagine 5 million individuals, businesses, sporting and social clubs and groups working together, each one having a small but essential impact on our global realization of a healthy, green and sustainable future.

Competition of course can only exist when ‘scarcity’ exists, whether real or implied. Traditional marketing still in place today thrives on competition and the “it’s gotta be you or me” belief system. But it doesn’t stop there does it!  Competition itself is the basis of much of our economic system, which again is driven by Malthusian-ism … an economic paradigm from the early nineteenth century, kept in place by ignorance, greed and selfishness.

There is of course no more futile example of “competition” than the game of war … again, the advantaging going to the most technologically advanced side.

Yet ‘Bucky’ Fuller could also see that the developments or weaponry of modern warfare could, and he emphasized the fact that it was definitely “touch and go” if we as individuals would let go of our concerns for protecting our jobs or our individual ‘rites’ to certain benefits such that a global willingness would prevail and our global investment in “killingry” would almost overnight be transformed into “livingry”.

The World Game that Fuller envisioned was to be a place where individuals or teams of people came and competed, or cooperated, to:

“Make the world work, for 100% of humanity, in the shortest possible time, through spontaneous cooperation, without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone.”

Your Healthy Planet.com sees a future full of health, wealth, joy and abundance and its context of abundance ensures that it must and can only happen and include everyone.

Is Money Destroying Our World?

My mentor is a great departed American R Buckminster Fuller whom we are all starting to hear more and more about. Considered by many as one of  the most important humans of the 20th Century he invested the last 55 years of his life seeking to make human beings a physical success on this beautiful planet.

He was clear that it was absolutely possible, and he was equally clear that you can’t make money and sense at the same time, they are mutually exclusive.

As a close colleague of Henry Ford senior Fuller designed and built an amazing Dimaxion car (see video below) and his Dimaxion house that took 15 minutes to complete all the housework … and this was in 1930’s.

Fuller’s intention with his designs was to “to make sense” and provide an artifact that helped humanity become a physical success on planet earth, not to just make money.  Speaking of making sense reminds me of an article I saw short time ago where Volkswagen gave their design engineers a task to deign a small fuel efficient car capable of achieving 500mpg I think the figure was. The designers took on the task, and the result a car that never reached the production line but exceeded the deign brief by achieving  1,000mpg I think the figure was.

Fuller also said that the vast majority of people are being what he called ‘unevidently selfish’ … i.e. we look like we care, but underneath we’re actually improving ‘our lot’ even at the expense of others which means we do not believe or do not understand there is plenty, in fact an incredible abundance for everyone.

And the critical point is that since around 1970 this is no longer integrity, i.e. it no longer works.

Today we spend over 2 1/2 times the amount of money we need to provide a very high standard of living for everyone on our planet, just to ensure that the naughty, the bad, the wrong person doesn’t get more than they should.  Sounds insane that we are spending more than 2 1/2 times more money so that we don’t have what we all want.

In 1952 Fuller declared that we now had the resources and the know how to provide for every human being on earth at a very high standard of living. He actually saw that this was quickly becoming possible in 1917.

“Being a technologist and US Navy officer of the line in World War I, I realized back in 1917 that
the possibility of doing progressively ever more with ever less might mean that at some not too distant date we might attain such a magnitude of accomplishing more work with so much less resources that we would be able to take care of all humanity at an unprecedentedly high standard of living.” — R Buckmister Fuller. p111, Cosmography c1983

This was then proven in 1971 by a group of some 1600 International Scientists, that for the first time in history we had the capacity to provide for everyone of earth. Fuller also said that when we actually understand that, and we start working cooperatively rather than competing,  we will create 4.5 billion billionaires (c1970).

Today that could equate to ten billion billionaires (http://10billionbillionaires.org), and one of the design goals of Your Healthy Planet.com’s cooperative marketing place which is getting closer and closer to it’s launch.

“If you were spending one thousand dollars a day and you had one million dollars to spend you would last approx 3 1/3 years …. BUT if you had one billion dollars and spent one thousand dollars a day it would take you 3,300 years to run out of money. There’s a BIG difference between one million and one billion dollars.” — you can do the maths.

What Did Buckminster Fuller Mean By “Unevident Selfishness”?

Like many of Fuller’s terms and words there is a clarity and a point that cannot be mistaken.

When I first heard the phrase “unevident selfishness” I felt something ‘hit me’ in the gut … and I stopped the CD to listen again. “People appearing as though they care, and doing good things”, but according to the presenter, the late R Buckminster Fuller in reality they are actually selfish, and doing their best to conceal it.

People interested in bettering their own position.

Isn’t that what we should be doing in our life? I’m sure most would agree, however when you understand there is abundance available, enough for everyone on our planet to be living the lifestyle of a billionaire then it is no longer integrity, (ie it no longer works) and that is what Fuller is saying.

It simply no longer works to be focused on bettering your own position, and everything we see in economies around the world are evidence of this fact. It doesn’t work for one country to try to do better than another, for one person to try and do better than another (especially at the expense of others), it simply keeps in place the old context that there isn’t enough and it creates more problems, more upsets and more ‘scarcity’.

If you have studied some of Buckminster Fuller’s amazing work you will know that he was not making anyone wrong for their “unevident selfishness”, he was just stating a fact, stating what is so … what indeed was happening then in the 1980′s  and unfortunately is still happening all over our planet.

The set of CD’s I was listening to are of a wonderful day back on February 26th, 1983 … a day proclaimed as Integrity Day by the City of LA and the State of California. It was proclaimed in honor of Buckminster Fuller and the incredible achievements, artifacts and education this one man produced over a period of some 55 years. The CD set is available from the Buckminster Fuller Institute (http://www.bfi.org).

Is This The Electric Car For ‘Multi-Billionaires’?

First of all let’s get clarify on the term ‘multi-billionaires’ … because we don’t want it confused with multi-billionaire do we.

Multi-billionaires is PLURAL, meaning more than one and in this case we mean lots and lots of them, in fact it will one day reach billions of them; hard to believe I know but Google didn’t even exist a little over a decade ago and the founders are each worth some 18 billion dollars each.

You must start to realize that today, anything and everything is POSSIBLE.

So what’s this electric car that could help create ‘Multi-Billionaires’ on our beautiful planet within the next decade or two?

The best way is to watch this short video with Shai Agassi the Founder and CEO of Better Place.

Click on the picture to the left and allow a few seconds for the video to begin in a new browser.

The concept is simple but the plan is BOLD. By focusing on the aspects of automobile travel that people want and enjoy; on the freedom, the security and the choices that it makes available plus insisting on no downside to the purchaser or the environment, Agassi has come up with a brilliant plan that Renault-Nissan jumped at. Now we are talking multi billion dollar investments here but the returns are amazing.

I would love to have A Better Place as a sponsor on Your Healthy Planet.com … and I feel they should be one of the first International Sponsors. Let’s see what happens. Can you see the shift that is occurring around the world today as new industry leaders move to make morally correct decisions, and because technology is advancing so quickly they know that if the answer isn’t here yet, it’s not far away.

And here’s the ‘kicker’ … the economic returns are usually astounding. Agassi mentions travel costs down to 2 cents a mile by 2020, compared to the best possibility for an oil driven vehicle of 40 cents a mile. Read the rest of this entry »
