Together EVERYONE Wins …

First 100 this week save $111.00 …  click here to find out how!

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 …

“Hello, it is time we switched on our brains I think!”

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.

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.

Solar energy for everything ...

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?

Amazing Tesla S Sedan

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.

Your Healthy Planet.com's NEW Member's club and advertising directing is launching soon.

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.

If this is the future that you want to see for you, your children and their children’s children come on-board today and invest a little in a Founding Advertising subscription from only ten dollars a month, you will be glad you did.

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.

How’s This For Abundance – 7 Hours and Your House Is Up!

Watch this brief 2 minute video of Buckminster Fuller’s house being erected and see how long it takes …

The house took just seven hours to put up … and yes, I don’t believe there is one square element to the house. Squares you see don’t exist in nature. The design for the original Dimaxion home was completed during early 1930′s and prototypes actually built by Beech Aircraft in 1944 in an attempt to employ people after WWII, but if failed because of a “scarcity consciousness”.Back in the 1970′s Buckminster Fuller said that most people were in fact living as slaves, with little if any freedom. Many similar assessments have been made by other notable people in recent times.

Fuller also said that power structures use the “divide to conquer, keep divided to keep conquered” philosophy and they still do.  Those who have distinguished that fact are 90% of the way to being FREE.

Simply by distinguishing something exists provides you with the option … I will or I won’t, however most people still appear unaware. Before Fuller’s death in 1983 he had said that one of the most IMPORTANT messages to get out to people is the fact that our planet has the capacity to provide a high standard of living for everyone … that “you or me” is no longer integrity, but only “you and me”.

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

Hot Sunclipse
I was reading a few comments about Copenhagen and the Climate Change conference, and the concerns expressed about the added costs to tax payers, to rate payers, business and everyone else and then I saw this POLL on the side.

I answered the poll honestly … and was shocked at the results!

Total votes: 1949

Will world leaders succeed with practical solutions on climate change at Copenhagen?

  • Yes 6.82% (133 votes)
  • No 93.18% (1816 votes)
Wow … 93.18% believe there will be no practical solutions come from the Copenhagen conference.

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.”

CHRISTMAS In 2020 … And No One Is Hungry!

Your Healthy Planet.com was launched just ten years ago in March 2010 in the midst of an enormous financial meltdown.

It’s hard to believe but it’s TRUE!

Christmas ... And No One Is Hungry!

Christmas 2020 and No One Is Hungry! Reports are coming in from all around the globe … and so far there’s not one report of anyone, not one person being hungry at all.

What amazing determination from hundreds and thousands or organizations, some have been working towards this day for years and years and in fact decades.

“What happened that allowed this result so quickly?”

Everyone is asking the question!  Evidently, according to business strategists and expert theorists from every  corner of the globe; no, no that’s wrong there are no corners on a round globe are there; sorry that’s an ‘old conversation’, from the past.

Just as we used to feel there wasn’t enough for everybody … that’s also an old conversation, with it’s roots right back in the 16th and 17th Centuries. Hardly valid today.

Still people are wanting to know HOW this extraordinary transformation occurred, because it isn’t just food and Christmas that has been affected. It’s everything. There is plenty of everything today … and plenty for everyone.

People have time to relax, time to be with their families and sometimes they are sorting out problems that occurred decades ago when there was never any time, or so they said.

Could a $3 investment back in 2009 have started all this?

I mean three dollars back then could barely buy you a cup of coffee. How could $3 make such a difference?
