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 »

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.”

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).

Copenhagen – Where Do All The Billions Go? And Is It Really Worth It?

Evidently the target for reduction in carbon emissions needs to be 25% … and that may be a challenge for some people.

I was going to say “some countries” but corrected myself because it’s you and me and your next door neighbor plus your Facebook friends on the other side of the planet who are really going to determine whether we win or not.

I could put that “Whether we survive, or not … it is up to you and me.”
