The Totality of Possibilities

The issue of this blog is to present the book “Future without War” by Dieter Duhm by book descriptions, text examples, short excerpts and comments in order to find co-thinkers and co-workers worldwide willing to understand and realise together the peace plan which is described here.

To introduce this book I want to relate a personal experience:

Some time ago I met a few women for a talk. In the growing twilight Luz Maria from Colombia told us the story of her life. She was visiting Europe for the first time. She is a 50 year old campesina, a peasant, who can neither read nor write. At the age of sixteen she was almost killed. The machete missed her head by inches, but hit her left thumb almost severing it. Her husband and her eldest son were killed years ago. Since then Luz Marina has cared for herself and her six children all on her own. The campesinos are easy game for the armed groups, be they military, police, paramilitary, guerrillas or simply armed groups of bandits who are not bound by any moral authority nor subject to the rule of law. Only in the last few years over 150 people from her village were killed, some of them in a most gruesome way.

Luz Marina however cannot go away. Where to? The situation is just as bad elsewhere; at least there in her village she has a small piece of land where she can grow food to meet the basic needs of her family.

The fate of Luz Marina is the fate of millions, probably billions of human beings who live on our planet today. Where should they go?

“Future without War” has been written in response to such fates. The book wants to save people. To do so, the reader is asked in spite of today’s trendiness to study its theory, sentence by sentence, thought by thought. And by so doing it conveys the logic how to effectively help the world.

This book explains how the earth can be healed.

It is the knowledge of a new era. To quote Dieter Duhm: “New potential of intelligence and humanity is available when we concentrate on accessing previously unused information from the cosmic databank.” It teaches us to no longer separate theory from experience, the objective world “out there” and a subjective world “in us”. Equally it teaches us not to separate between those who live in crisis areas and those who do not, i.e. ourselves, who have a roof over our head and full refrigerator. We are all part of one and the same family of life. We all suffer from the same illness. Our own healing, together with help for the world’s poor, and the protection of the nature are all part of one and the same process which we must adhere to and reinforce by adopting life-changing decisions.
