THE MIDDLE EAST IS ABOUT MORE THAN THE FATE OF TWO PEOPLES. THE PLAN OF THE PEACE VILLAGES
by Dieter Duhm

The Middle East is about more than the fate of two peoples. If peace is achievable here, then something new will have been achieved for humankind. In this war the potential conflict between all of humanity is revealed. Peace in the Middle East is not only of regional importance, but also of planetary significance. In the following essay I want to highlight a number of aspects and bring a call for active support.

In Israel a new peace movement is being born. In spite of severe sanctions, a growing number of soldiers are objecting to military service or murderous orders in the Occupied Territories. In a public declaration they state: “We will not go on fighting beyond the ‘green line’ for the purposes of domination, expulsion, starvation and humiliation of an entire people.” Hundreds of soldiers signed this declaration. Their courage deserves our gratitude. A sign of hope is apparent; may it be followed by many more.

No longer can we sit by passively and watch the violations of international law committed by the Israelis against their neighbours. Israel treats the Palestinians as the “Americans” treated the Native Indians when conquering their continent. This is clearly a one-sided judgement; but in this case it is necessary if truth and humaneness are to be given an opportunity at all. Many Israelis know little truth about the situation, since true information is rarely accessible. The Palestinian Intifada is not the cause but the consequence of an endless series of human rights violations by the Israelis. Draining fresh water resources, cutting down the olive groves, destroying Palestinian homes with bulldozers are all examples, are all stains in a cruel line of humiliation and violence. These things must be known to understand the uncontrollable hate of the Palestinian people. The extreme measures taken by the Israelis reflect the fatal self-consciousness of a “master race.” It appears as if part of the Jewish people now do unto others as has been done unto them for centuries – the terrifying logic of history assuming its rule until true powers of peace enter the path of new solutions and reconciliation.

The Palestinians also have to contribute to the solution. There is no sense in defending honour with violence. The spiral of violence will not be stopped through violence; suicides are heroic, but no means to peace. Direct, visible and humane reconciliation on both sides is needed in order to attain peace. The youth on both sides need new songs, new ways and concepts of meeting and living together. The thought of peace villages has to be seen within this context.

Israel has a cruel history. Jerusalem has been a crucial point for religious and political events for 3000 years. The Jewish people were bound to their God and country in a very special way. The spiritual background of the Zionist movement cannot be ignored. For the Jewish people to find a new home after centuries of persecution and Diaspora left its mark. The founding history of the State of Israel was necessarily a history of pain on both sides.

However the current events are not just the consequence of this pain. Both military and financial superiority has been adopted to destroy an entire people step by step and herd them into the Ghettos. This is not said from a place of hate, as we do not hate the Jewish people. But things must be clearly defined in order for the Palestinian people to reclaim a voice in the world. Otherwise more desperate actions will be unavoidable. These words are also intended to give support to Israeli peace workers who are as stunned by the daily injustices as we are. But paramount is the wish to search for a solution together.

Israel against Palestine – this is not only one people fighting another people, not only one religion fighting another religion, but an imperialistic system of power fighting an almost helpless people. Israel is not fighting alone. As an important stronghold for the American “world order,” it is supported by the US with weapons and money. Veiled behind this conflict is an international power cartel that recognizes Israel as an important strategic point for globalization.

Human rights violations occurring in Palestine are, right now, occurring all over the world. The entire globe is dominated by the suppression of imperialistic economic powers against helpless people. There is hardly a farming family freely working their own land, hardly a village not threatened by the relentless methods of worldwide exploitation. Global terror is not the desperate actions of individual rebels, but the power strategies of international finance and their representatives all over the world. The same structures of violence are reflected by this system globally. The same structures of pain are left in its wake everywhere. The tears of a Palestinian mother mourning for her dead child are the same tears shed by a mother in Israel, in Chechnya, in Sierra Leone, in Nicaragua, in Manhattan, and in Kabul. The sorrow for a lost husband or lover, the pain of a destroyed home, the freezing of refugees on their endless trails, the hate towards the cynical suppressors, the unavoidable desire for revenge, the mourning on one side and jubilation on the other – everywhere are the same structures of a deeply divided human race.

The causes of global violence do not only lay in the power politics of corporate companies, banks, the military and secret services. They also lay in the misguided orientation of the entire human civilization. Humanity has lost its anchor. The anchor lays in the unity and holiness of life and the interconnectedness of all beings. The human world has to reconnect with the higher orders of life and creation. Peace, healing and a true home on earth can only be found when it is shared with all other beings. The earth belongs to all of us – humans, animals, plants, rivers, and mountains. All of us are part of the big unity of life we must return in order to build a new planetary culture of peace.

Healing is sacredness. If peace is wanted, then it is necessary to build a society where human life is re-embedded into the holy matrix, the basis of all life. We need peace villages that have the strength to develop such models and we need people with the strength to build such peace villages. A single fully functioning peace village, the size of a few hundred people, could trigger an iterative process throughout the entire earth comparable to the “butterfly effect” in chaos research. If a few such peace villages were built successfully in different places, a global healing process would already be active.

The thought of peace villages is not unfamiliar to the Jewish tradition. It was religious Jews who set up the Chassidic communities around their founder Baalschem during the 18th century. It was the Jewish representatives of a humane socialism who laid the foundations for the Kibbutz movement a hundred years ago. The Zionist movement, widely linked today with the international power cartel, initially had a very spiritual background; they wanted to renew the covenant that their ancestors had made with their god 3000 years ago and reunite their people on the basis of this covenant. For a faithful Jew this was not an imperialistic thought but a deeply religious one. The move from the Diaspora into the Holy Land was the beginning of a new life for many Jews. It is similar to many of us today who experience the move from industrial mega-societies into new forms of living as the beginning of a new life.

Palestine/Israel is located in a special place on this earth. In Palestine, the town of Jericho was founded 10,000 years ago, one of the oldest towns in human history. The old capital Jerusalem has been a political and religious centerpoint of history for 3000 years. The temple of Salomon (built 3000 years ago) held enough secrets to trigger the movement of the Templars in the medieval times (under the guidance of Bernard of Clairvaux, the most powerful catholic bishop at that time). Today “The Dome of Rock,” built by Muslims, crowns the same place. Much was struggled for here, much attempted, much hoped for and much destroyed.

Jerusalem, Israel, Palestine – these are not only political definitions, they are also symbols of a highly committed search of humankind. Israel/Palestine is an acupuncture point in the spiritual energy system of the earth. If the implantation of peace information through the method of a real peace village would succeed here, it would have the effect of a signal to the world.

Already human processes are experienced in Israel and Palestine that move the question of peace to our heart’s core in a new way. On both sides there are women and men who do not preach hate and revenge any longer, for they have suffered too much. There are peace workers who understood, by their own suffering, the suffering of their supposed enemies forever. Is it not possible to build up a huge model of reconciliation forever? The day will come when we will realize, through tears, what we have done to those considered enemies. The day will come when we will realize, through tears, what we have done to all the animals. And the day will come when the two halves of humanity – men and women – will realize what they have done to each other. Reconciliation is the central motive of the peace villages. We need places on earth where wounds can heal.

Finally, a few words regarding the possibility of realizing a better world. In theory it is hardly a problem. The question is only whether there will be enough people who think and act accordingly. I postulated the theoretical possibility for global peace in my book “The Sacred Matrix.” The world is a ‘holon.’ a living unity. If it is possible to build new structures and information in one part, it will affect the whole. There is an effect on the whole in the same way medicine has an effect on the whole organism. If developing peace information with enough depth and complexity is achievable in any location, it is fed into the informational body of the earth (Noosphere) and becomes accessible in any location. Consequently the ‘holon’ is in a ‘stimulated state.’ The probability that similar structures develop in other places on earth increases. Here, as in any other ‘holon,’ the law of morphogenetic field development holds true.

We still talk in a subjunctive mode but want to state that, already, work on the concrete preparations of peace villages has been going on for a few years. The “Peace Research Village Association” (www.prvme.org) was founded by Benjamin von Mendelssohn for this purpose and is now entering the public domain to invite dedicated people to join in cooperation and support. It is desirable that many committed people take in these ideas and disseminate them into a worldwide ring of peace.

For the hope of all who love.
For new models for life in Israel and Palestine.
Salaam! Shalom!

THE WAR SOCIETY AND ITS TRANSFORMATION

A MANIEFSTO AGAINST  WAR

by Dieter Duhm

There cannot be peace on earth

as long as there is war in love.

The external trigger for the following text was the extremely cruel murder of Luis Eduardo Guerra, one of the leaders of the peace village San José in Colombia, and seven more inhabitants of the village, among them women and children. It is one of these daily details which accompany globalisation today. We have been in contact with these people for years now. A war similar to the one in Colombia is taking place in many parts of the world today. Therefore the following text is not about one particular country but about the situation of the whole earth.

The worldwide war is rooted in the deepest structures of our civilisation and therefore cannot be overcome by appeals for peace, enlightenment and resistance. Global peace work needs a new global concept for a future without war.

The war industry is a solid constituent of our civilisation. If we want a future without war we need a different civilisation, a different way of living together, and a different way of settling on this earth. Real peace is not a slogan, but a different life form and a different form of society. Real peace derives from social structures which do not destroy but instead foster basic human values like compassion, trust, mutual support and solidarity. We need a worldwide co-operative of determined people to build these new communities. This text is for all who are ready and able to build up or support such a co-operative with all means.

The USA are preparing their next crusades within the context of their “new world order”. They plan the project “Greater Middle East”, an enormous free trade zone all the way from Morocco to Pakistan. This is the context for the planned wars against Iran and other countries like Syria etc.

In spite of all diplomatic declarations it is clear that this war is planned as the war in Iraq was planned long before the search for ostensible means of mass destruction began.

The village and city streets in Iran, on which today there are still children playing, could very well look like the streets of Fallujah, the devastated city in Iraq.

Does one know what war means? Does one know the unbearable pain of people suffocated beneath debris, being crippled or burnt? This and nothing else is war. The economical, political and military cartels of power know that as a result of their politics of conquest children die, freeze, starve – and they do it. They know that families are torn apart and communities destroyed – and they do it nevertheless. They talk about peace, freedom and democracy and kill all freedom fighters standing in their way. They have constructed a world of consumerism which results in slavery, desperation and collapse on the other side of the world. Behind the figures of the stock market there is the suffering of innumerable people and animals. More people die from the consequences of colonisation and globalisation than have ever died in any war. Can we continue to enjoy our privileges and restrict our efforts to words? We need to find concrete ways to free the earth from war.

We are directly part of the war because we do not have the time to understand what is really going on there. Our culture is arranged in such a way that nobody has the time to understand what is really happening. We are part of the war because we participate in a civilisation which generates war everywhere. War is a component of our civilisation, our economy, our consumerism and our ideas about life. Our own Western society lives of the armament and weapons trade, of the war against nature, of war against villages and farmers in the “Third World”, of the war against love, of the war against our mental/spiritual anchors and the homelands of human kind. This war claims its victims in Afghanistan or Iraq, in Latin America or Palestine, but it also claims its victims where there is supposedly peace and democracy: in the offices and factories, in schools and families, in love relationships and ruined marriages, in the situation of homeless youth, in the sexual misery of the youth, in organised child abuse (as uncovered lately in Belgium, France and Spain). And finally in the hopeless situation of people who can not handle the lies of the existing culture any longer: every thirty minutes somebody commits suicide in Germany.

And aren’t the slaughter houses, the fur farms and the animal laboratories part of the daily war as well? Is it necessary that the progress of a culture is connected to such an amount of suffering in the animal world?

There is a solution. We can recognize what is going on by taking enough mental/spiritual distance to look at the whole of contemporary life on earth.

View the earth as a living organism whose living being are connected to each other through certain frequencies. You yourself are an organ of this organism. Through your thoughts, words and deeds you send out certain frequencies which serve either peace or war.

You will recognize that you are still a part of the global war as long as you are lead by thoughts of fear, anger or revenge. Consequently, create places where you find the strength to  give no more resonance to the power of war – neither in the world nor in yourself. Such places could be: special seminar centres, spiritual centres, pilgrimages, communities.

You will recognize that victims and victimizers are often connected to each other by analogue structures and that you yourself could be either victim as well as victimizer. It is a deep mutual and historically grown structure of suffering which creates both victim and victimizer.  Victimizers too have once been victims they too have been robbed of their trust, their love, their human home. They too come from living conditions which produce violence. Alice Miller researched and described the living conditions of well-known violators. As a child the Serbian dictator Milosevic witnessed the suicide of both of his parents. Even with the toughest killer the ‘mignon-question’ can be repeated: What have they done to you, poor child?

You will understand that we are not dealing with sentimentality but with a collective basic fact of our current civilisation: the drama of uprooting, the drama of disastrous love relationships, the drama of homeless children, the drama of separation and human deprivation, they no longer are private problems. This is the social and human drama of our times. Behind the worldwide epidemic of relentless violence hides the experience of a pain that cannot be dealt with in another way.

This is the global core issue with which we have to occupy ourselves today. The question is: How do we end the production of the pain of separation, of fear of loss and of deprivation? Or more positively: How do we create real living and loving conditions which serve the growth of trust and solidarity amongst all beings? We not only need a solution for the victims. We need a solution for the whole of human kind. And last but not least: We need a solution for the animal world.

Imagine there would be but a few places on earth with a few hundred people from where concentrated peace information is sent into the frequencies of the world with high intensity. These people would have peace between each other, peace between the genders, peace between adults and children, peace with the beings of nature. The global circuit of violence would be radically broken in these places. What effect would this have on the whole? Whatever happens in part of the whole can happen in the whole too – since we are all connected through a consistent code of life (DNA), a consistent basic information and a consistent holographic structure. In other words: A radical modification of our way of living together, with each other and with nature would hold a high probability – if it would truly happened in a few places – to effect the whole in the sense of morphogenetic field-building.

Do not say too quickly: This is not realistic. In a multiple universe there are many possibilities of existence. Which one we call forth and is realized depends on the decisions we take. Shouldn’t human kind who had the intelligence to develop self steering rockets, not also be able to jointly muster the intelligence to realize a positive variation?

Let us rest a moment longer in the place where prejudices are substituted by thinking.

There is an “objective vision” of peace which is anchored as a real possibility in the structure of reality. It is not subject to individual random. It is the original image of the holographic film of the universe, it is the entelechies chore of all things, it results from the systems of resonance of the world, it is laid out in the genetic code of our cells and it is embedded in our consciousness as an accessible possibility. We will call it the “Sacred Matrix”.

In former centuries man has attempted to capture and express this Sacred Matrix in harmonic numbers, in geometric patterns, in proportions of temples and cathedrals. We, the modern people, have to transfer it into real life conditions, working conditions, living conditions, into technology and organisation, into social structures and ecological ethics. Society needs a new operating system to realize the peace code. The existing culture is an operating system of dominance, fear and violence. The Sacred Matrix is an operating system of openness, transparency and connectedness. It is today’s human task to create the first functioning centres and models for this new operating system. We call them “Peace Villages” or “Healing Biotopes”.

If we are successful in creating new communities in a few places on earth which are coherent with the Sacred Matrix then this would result, with  high probability, in a global field effect, which in turn would be able to free peace and healing powers which to this day are still veiled behind fear and worry. Please, give yourself the time to perceive and understand this process. (It is as if a holographic film would be exposed by a laser beam at a new angle: a new image shows up, reality changes.)

The path of overcoming the war does not end in an enlightened inwardness. The world does not only need good people, most of all it needs new real life forms for a future without war. It needs models for a new civilisation so that we can start to settle on our planet in a new manner which is coherent with the laws of life.

To realize peace, we have to know what peace is. We have to learn the rules of trust and love. We approach areas which, up till now were mostly attributed to religion or deep psychology. But is not exactly this the characteristic for a new way of thinking: to realize that these “inner” realms of the human being have an eminent political meaning? If millions of people die every day of unfulfilled love, of hate and jealousy is this not a first rank political question?

We learn the laws of universal peace by learning the laws of universal community. For all life exists in community. If we want to survive we need new forms of community: community with people and peoples, with animals and plants, with all beings of nature and creation. We need communities of co-evolution, of co-operation and mutual support of all participants, because they all follow the same urge of life, all are lead by the One Being, One Consciousness, the One genetic code, all together form the big family of life on earth.

The rediscovery of community, the ability to live communally, the readiness for co-operation with all beings – that is the key task of our time. The known biologist Lynn Margulis said it like this:

If we wanted to survive the ecological and social crisis which we have caused ourselves, we would have to engage in radically new and dramatic community enterprises.

A German rock band (“Die Ärzte”) sang:

Your violence is a silent scream for love. Your military boots long for tenderness.

Clearly the connection between deprivation of love and readiness for violence is pointed out here. They continue:

You never learnt to articulate yourself; your parents never had time for you … Because you have a problem that nobody cares about, because you are afraid to cuddle, that is why you are a fascist.

These are connections which we have to recognise and change, if we want to put an end to war.

The collective expansion of violence which we experience on earth is the explosion of energies which have been blocked for a long time, which did not fit into the established system. The American guys who roam through Baghdad in tanks and shoot to loud music – they come from a background which was unable to give them a positive direction for these overflowing energies. Sabine Lichtenfels, co-founder of the Healing Biotope I Tamera in Portugal, writes:

War comes from energies held back for a long time.

War comes from considering part of your soul as bad, judging it and thus withholding this part of your strength from the world, until it breaks out on its own and turns destructive.

Under these circumstances we understand the sadistic cruelties which accompany every war, e.g. the sexual tortures in Iraq.

A young man is asked why he is with the mercenaries. He answers: Because I want to become a real man.

We will not overcome these problems by political resistance only, by moral appeals or spiritual inwardness. We definitely need new ways of living together, new communities and new living spaces in which it is possible to become a real man by softer means, where one is not scared of love and one does not need military boots to hide one’s own longing.

If we want to put an end to war we need to end it at the point of where it is created and born each day anew: in our daily living conditions, in the constant stress of mindless and monotonous work, in the methods of profit maximizing and distribution, in offices and factories, in schools and families, in the tragedies of love, in our ideas about being either man or woman, in sexuality and love and in the cages of our professional, social and sensual life which are all far  too small.

Do we want that the youth of the world no longer goes to war?

If so, we need a higher aim in life, a life worth living and better opportunities to put the power of the youth into meaningful action.

Do we wish to end the worldwide sexual violence?

If so, we have to create living conditions under which sexual joy is experienced without violence, without humiliation and without unnecessary restrictions.

Do we want to end the abuse of children?

If so, then let us build up concrete living conditions where no one even thinks of viewing a child as a sexual object.

Do we want to free the world from despotism, betrayal and lies?

If so, then let us build up concrete conditions under which despotism, betrayal and lies have no longer an evolutionary advantage.

Not only dreaming, talking, wishing, appealing, but building it up, really doing it! The world will only turn to the better when we demonstrate that it is possible. For that we have to create convincing models. The know-how exists or is being developed and waits to be put together at suitable locations. For the implementation of future-oriented Peace Villages, social as well as technological concepts are ready for use but, until now, could not be realized on the necessary scale. (View www.tamera.org) If you have money please support the development of such models. If you are a journalist please help to spread this information positively. If you are well-known please use your name and influence to redistribute the money: A Peace Village for an armoured tank!

All of this we have to do if we seriously want to end the present war in the world.

We thank Amnesty International and all peace groups for their efforts. We feel connected to the people which protect life in many places of the world and resist global injustice. But additionally we have to make the positive aim of human kind visible. Let us create the first convincing models and realize the existing concepts. We look forward to everybody who wants to co-operate with us in this sense.

The world needs the confederation of the most committed peace workers now, to create a new forum on earth: a worldwide co-operative for a future without war.

In the name of our children and all future generations.

In service of all creation.

2. GLOBALIZATION OF PEACE AND HEALING OF THE EARTH

THE CONCEPT OF GLOBAL HEALING BIOTOPES

Dieter Duhm

Tamera, May 2008

The apocalypse lies in the heart of the cells,

engraved in the genetic core of humanity,

as a result of a five thousand year long era

of war and separation, violence and fear.

Our task is to change the core

with the help of a new code of life.

Humanity has reached a dead end street, which, if we continue down this road, can only lead to a catastrophic end. Forty years ago people were full of the illusion that everything could continue to go well, but today this illusion is gone. The number of human beings and animals that are killed every day has risen immeasurably and keeps on rising daily. In order to save life on earth and be able to look forward to a future worth living, we need a new starting point, a new mindset, a new essence in the innermost part of the whole. We need something that changes the entire organism of humanity.

To change a living system, we must change its operational center, its center of information, its genetic code. If one succeeds in inserting a new set of information at a central location, the entire system changes. The earth is such a system. The end of global destruction is not a question of the exterior balance of power, but of the genetic information that is inserted into the overall organism. The organic world of life functions according to the principles of homeopathy, which means that the overall organism is not changed by mega-systems but by micro-substances. An intelligent desire for overall healing definitively avoids the “gargantuan-mania” of our time.

A future without war is a real possibility; it is contained as a possibility in the “implicit order” of our world. We must create the necessary inner and outer systemic conditions in order to take it from the implicit order to the explicit (manifest) order. Relatively small groups, distributed across the earth, will suffice to give evolution a new direction.

The current globalization of violence can only be stopped and overcome by globalizing a new power of peace that is “stronger than all violence.” The creation of global peace requires a fundamental change in our forms of life, forms of love, forms of economy, forms of villages, forms of thought and forms of belief. In the beginning, these new forms must be developed and tested within small pilot projects and research centers, before they can manifest globally. Global healing work therefore requires such centers. We call them “healing biotopes.” It is not the futurological super projects that are being planned today, but the small planetary models that take into consideration the innermost issues of human beings that will create the change needed today.

Healing biotopes are places where all those involved – human beings, animals, plants, nature spirits and cosmic beings – live together in joint evolution and cooperation. Old fears and separation are replaced by trust and contact. The reestablishment of TRUST is one of the most central tasks of planetary renewal. Healing biotopes are greenhouses of trust. Nonviolent cooperation, in solidarity between human beings and all fellow creatures, is a foundation for the coming era.

In order to reach this goal, we need to develop a way of living together that is free of fear and violence. The main area of crisis in our times lies in the relationship between human beings. Several thousand years of war history have deeply shaken the relationship of human beings to one another. The legacy of collective suffering has resulted in the creation of human structures of hatred, distrust, fear and propensity to violence, blocking all attempts toward peace. A collective trauma has imprinted itself on the genetic core of humanity as a whole. Within the framework of global peace work, we are now faced with the task of dissolving this traumatic core and the energies that are bound up in it and giving them a new, life-affirming direction. This is not individual therapy; it is a transformation of the deepest archetypal forces and images of the soul. The life images that have been characterized by thousands of years of persecution, separation and deprivation must be transformed into archetypal powers of reunification, abundance and love; the matrix of separation must be transformed into the matrix of unity and a sense of belonging. The great transformation that is just beginning will not end before the powers of reconciliation and solidarity with all beings have been fully imprinted into the mental, spiritual and bodily structures of our existence, our brains and the nuclei of our cells. Humanity needs a new code of life. The genetic material must be reconditioned toward peace – not through technical genetic manipulation, but through new experiences in the great space of our earthly-cosmic existence.

At the core of healing biotopes there is a new relationship between the sexes. The collective trauma relates especially to these relationships. Behind the anguish of unfulfilled love relationships and unfulfilled erotic dreams, there is a latent (or open) war between the sexes, which today claims more victims than traffic accidents. The world is suffering from lovesickness. Millions of lovers and married couples would give anything to experience again the joy that they shared with each other in the beginning. The unfulfilled longing for Eros, love, trust and a feeling of home is the core issue that lies behind all the facades of our time. There can be no peace on earth as long as there is war in love. One of the most central tasks involved in the creation of a new culture is the dissolution of the trauma between the sexes and the restoration of an honest, happy life together between men and women. Only then can the subliminal potential of hatred be dissolved, so that children can grow up in a future worth living. We can only speak of “healing biotopes” when this, the most difficult point, has been fulfilled, at least in terms of intent, and when people are courageous enough to create new perspectives for the erotic core of human culture.

In the living tissue of the earth, healing biotopes are small acupunctural centers with a few hundred inhabitants, who in their own lives are able to realize the new planetary forms of villages. The success of such models will determine if we can hope for a real future without war.

The new centers are very complex systems. Evolutionary success does not depend on strength but on complexity. The things that have been separated for a long time must be reunited with each other: Eros with religion, science with spiritual experience, archaic world consciousness with modern cosmology, indigenous tribal culture with modern organization, and female sources of knowledge with ecology and community. Art and ritual will come together, opening up the shared source from where they came.

A high level of complexity means a high level of synergy. The healing effect of the new centers is not tied to any individual approach, but to the synergy of the whole. Interdisciplinary work, based on mutual communication and transparency, is one of the preconditions for these new research communities. Ethics, being the connecting moral bond of the human family, will rediscover its authentic source in the truth and in being there for one another in functioning communities. The first thing that must be learned is to live in functioning communities. This was the first task of the project that we established thirty years ago – and it still is today.

The new centers are largely self-sustaining. Within the framework of an economy with a high degree of self-sufficiency, new technologies are used in the areas of energy, information, water and food. The necessary knowledge is already largely available; the models have been developed and tested for the last thirty years, and they must now be combined in a productive way. The solar village that is being created in Tamera/Portugal (with the new solar technology of Jürgen Kleinwächter) is a multifaceted attempt in this direction. It is to be combined with the ecological aquaculture and permaculture that have been developed by Sepp Holzer. Further developments will be added. Here, no doubt, further research is needed – as well as research money!

Healing biotopes are global research centers in which concrete peace research is conducted on the basis of living communities – thus the term “peace research village.” This “peace” is meant to be global. Correspondingly, great emphasis is placed on creating models that can be generalized. Here, globality means generalizability. As soon as some core points and guidelines for the new villages of our planet have been found, a global field effect will arise on its own. The planetary organism then integrates the new information. In the social and cultural areas we get what Rupert Sheldrake called “morphogenetic field creation” in the area of biology. Comparable centers will be established at many places on earth. It is from a network of such centers that the coming planetary civilization will emerge.

A new humane world can only arise through a fundamental change in the human being. It is not the technical mega-systems of current future planning, or colonies on Mars or floating cities that will bring peace. Instead, thanks to their highly complex structure and integration, and their activation of the powers of life embedded into the universal order of life, it is small futurological models of life that will change the genetic structure of the biosphere. They are the acupuncture points within the global organism of the earth. If something new occurs here – as in the acupuncture of the body – the whole shifts and changes.

In the name of love.

In the name of the children.

In the name of all living creatures.

IMPLEMENTATION OF FUTUROLOGICAL CENTERS

A memorandum from the peace research center Tamera in Portugal

The globalisation of peace is not realized through mega-systems but through new life models.

Humanity is situated in an inferno of fear and violence. We are experiencing the culmination of a historical dead end with disastrous consequences for an increasing number of populations, human and animal. Consequences of a historical ‘fall of mankind’: the separation of the human from the One, which connects all and which is the same in all. Through that a collective loss of trust and home. Facing the immeasurable suffering of human and animal, of lovers, children and peoples, we discern: Evolution needs a new direction.

The damage cannot be repaired by crisis management, reformations or new technology. It lies in the inner core of the human being and therefore requires a fundamentally different orientation of life for its healing. It is about dissolving a collective ‘pain body’ and not least ending the historical gender war.

We know the problems of hunger and war, criminality and violence, environmental destruction and impending climate catastrophe. But the central area of crisis of our times is the relationship between human beings. It is here where a futurological project has to take care that a deep change towards healing and trust can happen. We need a new social and spiritual concept for humans to live together – with each other and with all creation; and we need a new technological concept for the non-violent cooperation with the natural forces. Boldly we need a new concept for living on our planet. Through the successful results of thirty years of research work, including social experiments, we are convinced of the feasibility of these goals.

The currently planned future drafts of mega-cities and cyber worlds cannot bring peace. Humanity will not be fed and healed through technological miracles (as important as they might be sometimes). Also not through well meant ecological projects, healthy nutrition and self-sufficient energy supply. As fascinating and indispensable the new technological possibilities are, as much they require a new human and social structure for humaneness to unfold.

A futurological unity between non-violent technology (resonance technology) and humane social practice is to be developed. The new technologies which have been developed by ingenious contemporaries have to be integrated into a model of a new living culture in order for them to survive. Otherwise they become entangled in the mafia struggles of the still ruling power groups.

The key for healing the world lies in dissolving the collective pain body and the traumatic knot which – as a result of a 4000 year epoch of violence – is stored in the cells of humanity, in the cells of all of us. Right here, in this individual and global healing work, lies the core of a realistic futurology of peace. For the collective trauma to be solved we need new communitarian ways of living with a new structure for production and consumption, for the cooperation with Gaia-earth, for the genders to live together and for a loving coexistence with all creation. The build-up of future communities is the deepest and most comprehensive task of our time.

Most of all we need a fundamental paradigm shift in the core area (Alpha area) of human life, that means in the area of sexuality, love, partnership, community, and religion. The changes in this central area of life is connected to changes in the genetic system (DNA). Through these changes the genetic bio-field – through which all living beings of the earth are connected – is modified. A ‘morphogenetic field’ for new thought and behaviour patterns is activated. The global shift of power from the forces of war to the new forces of peace (from the old to the new matrix) does not happen through violence but through genetically efficient information and new experiences.

For these reasons we have been developing the initiative ‘Future without War’ and the ‘Global Campus’ for a few years. The goal of the project is the implementation of futurological centers, healing biotopes and world peace villages in different places on the earth. Alpha stands for a new beginning but not on the level of cave people but instead on the level of our highest insights and possibilities at the beginning of the 21st century. The initial realization takes place in small but highly complex pilot models in which the new technical and human developments are combined in a meaningful way.

These centers are the crystallization points of the new world. From there the network, the energy lines and the perspectives of the coming epoch unfold. When the switches are worked in the right way here, we look towards a real future without war.

The global field building effect of the new centers is derived from the connection between highly developed technology and highly developed humane culture. Just as in former times the field building of the steam engine, the electric motor and computer technology. Their spreading will happen quite quickly – through the field-building effect – once the first models are accomplished. It is natural that these models will be sustainable but more important is the criteria of their planetary generalizability: the underlying spiritual matrix is valid for all regions of the earth. Along this track the worldwide build up of a new noosphere succeeds holding enhanced information on cooperation, resonance, peace and healing among all participants of the biosphere. This is not only wishful thinking but the deep structure of our holographic reality. The search for the Holy Grail took place along occult pathways until now. Now it is about implementing this Grail as a real cultural crystal on earth.

TAMERA

The mentioned thoughts and goals form the base of the peace research center Tamera in Portugal. The project was founded in 1995. Today it includes a community of 160 inhabitants, a peace school, special complexes for perma-culture and solar energy, an emerging Solar Village combined with a Technical University, a global network with initial bases for the ‘Global Campus’ in different crisis areas. Additionally we hope for the emergence of a “planetary group” that insures that these key-note thoughts gain a global effect. May this message contribute to this. May people come together from all over the world who want to realize this concept. In anticipation for new cooperation partners,

In the name of love, in the name of all children,

In the name of all beings.
