MATTERS IN THE AIR at the 11th March
TODAY THE CONCENTRATION WILL BE ON THE Godric Bader LECTURE by Ray Sheath : 2.30-4.30 ; on TRUSTEESHIP AND DEMOCRACY
BUT there is still a 12 – 2 MEETING of the Global Table when we will concentrate on how we define and communicate the STORY NEW AND OLD. We will examine a number of slides sumnarising the many exceelent contributions have received on the issue.
Notes from Election Forum on March 4 from 12-2 at SES, 11 Mandeville Place.
1.Update on 2015CUK- So much learnt leading to adjustment of policy –
2. Seek agreed understanding of the two attached Charts – ‘Ground of our Being’ and ‘VMarkets Messages …’
3. Demonstration of Use and shared updating of the new website at its shape and feel stage http://www.2015constitutionalists.uk/index.php
4. Value of the attached ‘.ppt slide size’ story in a nutshell as possible starter image for discussion where ever
5. Democracy Cafes – see * below
6. Words in use to be unpacked and uniformly understood – e g – land – money – UBI – Confederation –systems thinking – subsidiarity – synergy
7. Agree statement to capture the case for ‘Both/And’ or ‘System/ Parts’ or ‘Holarchy / Holons that we have constantly to make
8. Co-op with- CT – CEJ – SIMPOL – Equilbrium State – etc.
NB: In all things be as clear/simple as possible but not simplified [reducationist]. Removing the creative tension of words in a paradoxical relationship is not helpful to our cause.
* a slide-size discussion starter:
– POLITICAL ECONOMY FOR HUMANITY’S PLANETARY TRUSTEESHIP
– where
– POLITICAL = methods of governance; inseparable from …..
– ECONOMY = money, business, finance for trading in all of society’s regional and global housekeeping, sharing risk and reward transparently…;
– HUMANITY’S = all of us in our interdependence(voters, activists, general public, human);
– PLANETARY = all related – biospheric /ecological /environmental concerns; the very ‘ground of our being’
– TRUSTEESHIP / VISION = recognition of the covenant between all things ‘under the rainbow’, as the ‘internet of all things’ and ‘zero marginal costing’ allow us to see ourselves at last as empathic, collaborating Homo. sapiens; bearing huge responsibility because of our consciousness and reflective ability to transform neo-liberalism into stakeholder (cooperative) uses of capital. etc..

A major effort is being made to encourage Local Global Tables, by whatever name, around the country to prosper the cause of inclusive justice in a Democracy Society. Reports will be given. Please report any initiative in this direction.
Please add your comments on the issues and actions we appraise each week.
Discussion is determined by those present. We are concentrating at this time on systemic change and the enabling contribution we are making in a bold bid to ‘a noble mission to make the earth ‘a common treasury for us all’. NOTE various contributions from associates below.
The 2015 Constitutionalists Charter is an incremental, imperfect process of evolving a People’s Political Economy of Inter-Generational Trusteeship for the Earth in a context of Ecology and Evolution. It must dominate our thought and action in the next two months. Please take time to follow this practical initiative, participating in what ever ways you can. Our achievement won’t be dramatic by, May but we are gathering a large number of people and learning many lessons as we proceed. You will receive by a separate email the rich range of material we are putting together around the 2015 Constitutionalists Charter.
Thoughts encouraging collaboration……. “When individuals join in a cooperative venture, the power generated far exceeds what they could have accomplished acting individually.”— R. B. Fuller “You are not as drop in the ocean, but you are the entire ocean in a drop”.
SIMPOL –such a strong ally in our search for good governance and all that would flow from that. The drive on global cooperation now has nearly 200 candidates standing in the general election pledged to implement Simpol alongside other governments: http://uk.simpol.org/index.php?id=61
