Create a tipping point

I have just returned from a trip to Estonia and I want to thank all of those who invited me and who shared their thoughts, their dreams and visions. Thank you very much! What struck me the most was the clear and sober view of many Estonians I met of what is happening today on Earth and what chances there are to create a future worth living.
For example I met very committed people who were able to realize an incredible environmental action through a combination of different skills and qualities: courage, intelligence, joy and knowledge about how to use today’s information technologies. They managed to clean up Estonia in one day, collecting 10,000 tons of illegally dumped garbage. Environmental activists all over Europe are now interested in doing the same thing in their country.

When I met one of the IT-specialists involved in this action in his modern office in Tallinn, he sat back in his chair, looked at me, and said something like: “So, we cleaned up Estonia. This was easy compared to the global change which has still to be brought about. We have a vacation now and are waiting for the next challenge. Do you have any suggestions?”

I had, indeed. You can imagine the inspiring talk we had after such an introduction. Since the book “Future without War” by Dieter Duhm has been published in Estonian language in February 2008 the thought came to me: What if we could create a “tipping point”, an evolving situation that leads to a new and irreversible development in the direction of global peace? Couldn’t it be that the book “Future without War” will be discussed in Estonia so intensely that peace activists all over the world will start to do the same? This will nourish the idea and thus brings it closer to an irreversible manifestation of a future without war.

This or something even better may happen. The future is in our hands and in our decisions.

To end I want to use a quote by Dieter Duhm:

“The basis for the theory presented here is a world view that we can call “holographic cosmology”. We all come from the universe, not only from Earth. We therefore all have within us the same latent cosmic knowledge, a store of memories and cosmic consciousness, which is at our disposal, and which we can use at any time, as long as we know how to use it.” (out of the book: Future without War)
