Founding contributor and creator of Natural Earth Striving an Earth Ethic and Earth Research Explorers, a vision that accepts and includes everyone on Earth as stakeholders, stewards, explorers, researchers, creators, pattern recognizers, ground truthers, innovators, hypothesis generators, etc. Suppose you look at these two entities and consider them as a cycle. In that case, it gets everyone contributing towards a more continuous adaptive striving for desired future conditions on planet Earth from a broad scale to a fine scale. This leads us to a more holistic positive energy reality for the health of everyone, everything, everywhere on Earth. The vision includes a loving, caring, sharing, giving, forgiving, genuine kindness striving to bring about conditions of comfort, joy, love, hope, faith, and sustainable striving happiness foundation for everyone on Earth, transitioning most laws, rules, regulations, policies, to holistic prescriptive advice.

Creating a naturally healthy living similarity foundation condition cycle for people, our communites, and our planet Earth as a negative feedback loop cycle

It seems like borders and boundaries on the landscape are about hierarchical employment structures or employment violence. There are executive areas, worker areas, beneficiary areas, investment areas, survival zone suffering areas, disability areas, and areas needing serious restoration. I am concerned that the barriers to entering a more natural and healthy living condition are so difficult when a family has been employed or assigned to some of these more confining living conditions, cubicle-like situations. It would be great for people to have more flexibility, mobility, freedom, and the ability to choose any experience that would give them a more natural, healthy balance. It would be great for people to have the freedom to choose from relatively inspirational, incentivized, and prioritized living experiences. These living, learning, and exploring life experiences could involve growing food, nature, parks, community gardens, commons, and anything at all on the surface area of planet Earth as it enhances Nature striving for natural healthy living and natural spirituality similarity foundation condition on planet Earth. This would create a natural healthy condition for people, our communities, and our planet as a negative feedback loop cycle. At the same time, everyone would be able to live out their unique, diverse life path and purpose in any way they choose as long as it is consistent with the foundation of similarity conditions. The similarity foundation condition is loving, caring, sharing, giving, forgiving, and genuine kindness striving in context with Nature striving, natural healthy living, and natural spirituality.

The similarity foundation condition and unique diversity on the surface area on planet Earth

200 years of business extremism created an out-of-context functioning world. We must strive to be more connected to growing food, nature, our natural environment, and a restoration ethic.

In the early 1990s, much industry and financial investment went to China, Taiwan, Mexico, Vietnam, Indonesia, Australia, Russia, South Korea, Hong Kong, and elsewhere worldwide. Then, in recent decades, financial resources may have gone into Dubai. It seems like globalization expansionism knows no borders and boundaries. At the same time, in the United States, we are being impacted by more and more confining reductionism, laws, rules, regulations, employment violence, terrorism, survival zone suffering, borders, boundaries, fighting, rioting, litigiousness, liberty cycle extremism, pollution exclusion, enslavement, and preventable suffering. Are we in business extremism making money from the money feedback loop, such that we are building up areas around the world that are not connected to natural resources and the natural environment, and we have lost all context? Are we creating a world where extreme materialist and artificial money-making from the money economy generates a disconnectedness from the realities of our natural world? Are populations growing worldwide in an unnatural control way because of this irrational, out-of-context functioning that is out of context with the realities of our natural world? Do extreme artificial anthropocentric and industrial environments create more out-of-context with nature development in a feedback loop? It would be a good idea to get everyone on Earth into the growing of food and the stewardship of our natural environment so we can balance off this out-of-context, unnatural, and unhealthy anthropocentric extremism. It would create more natural, healthy, balanced, and nature immersion joy if we transitioned to focusing more on our environment, natural resources, commons, missions, and restoration of our world. This should be our natural earth striving, natural healthy living, and natural spirituality conditions as we become more about loving, caring, sharing, giving, forgiving, and genuine kindness striving to one another, our communities, and our natural world.

The similarity foundation condition and unique diversity on the surface area on planet Earth

Putting people in some kind of prison for what is supposed to be one of the most naturally healthy, miraculous, and beautiful experiences on Earth

Manufacturing conditions to put people in prison is one of the strangest concepts on Earth, especially for something that is supposed to be the most naturally healthy, miraculous, and beautiful experience on Earth. Prison is praying to the man god-king approach to living on Earth and should be eliminated. There should be nature immersion experiences until people are healthy enough to live on their own, or they should live together with people who can help them transition to a life without violence. It is especially the strangest concept on Earth to put a woman in prison as their natural condition is about love and nurturing. I think women are detrimentally impacted and anthropogenically controlled somehow when this happens. They may be suffering from addiction cycles such that they are not living in a natural, healthy condition life. It is more likely some controlling domination and anthropocentric extremism impacted them. It seems like they should only strive for natural, healthy relationships. However, sex was used in the past as a tool to start trouble with people on purpose so they could be controlled. It was used in the pollution exclusion, liberty, and extremism cycles. Violence against women or men should never happen in the first place because love and sex are some of the most beautiful and miraculous natural healthy living experiences in life. What other species on Earth has a concept of rape? Do we need to read a treatise on sex and rape from a law book before we relate to the opposite sex? Do we need to follow every step in the books? Is rape an anthropocentrically manufactured word or definition castle? Is the word rape a way to get the law, religion, management, control, process, and procedure into your bedroom, etc? Because the word exists, do we find ways to manufacture perceptions of rape for itinerant reasons? Is the word rape used to give relevancy and validity to management people or controlling domination so they can control us? Is the word rape a way to get intrusive, manufactured, reactionary investigations into our lives and our environments? Is the word rape an investment strategy for transference? Rape may be a word that suggests people cannot handle their relationships; thus, they must be managed and controlled. This condition may create a positive feedback loop, creating legal complexity, domination, and control conditions for everyone. Does his feedback loop contribute to manufacturing a reactionary adaptive planning feedback loop as well? Does this allow people to solve their problems? Is rape an investment strategy for law, legal, employment violence, liberty cycle extremism, and pollution exclusion of people? Is it meant to pray to the man god-kings? It seems like those that like the word rape are those that think about a different anthropocentric extreme cultural context altogether. Love and sex should be a natural and healthy relationship condition, not about following steps and methods in the legal process and procedure manuals. The way I understand rape is that it involves violence, like putting a knife to the throat of a person and forcing another to have sex. Violence happens to women and men because of response mechanisms or inflection points from the cumulative totality of unnatural and unhealthy manufactured conditions in society. Instead of spending trillions of dollars on the Military and bank bailouts, we should prioritize natural, healthy living. Natural, healthy living should not involve punishing people and putting people in prison for what is supposed to be one of the most naturally healthy, miraculous, and beautiful experiences on Earth. This functioning may contribute to the extreme amount of mental illness and preventable suffering on Earth as it is so ridiculously irrational and out of context with nature. Creating controversy about something that is supposed to be one of the most natural, spiritual, naturally healthy, and miraculous experiences on Earth is a really strange condition because the unhealthiness and unnatural conditions were created by too much focus on anthropocentric extremes, materialism extremes, making money extremes, reactionary reductionism, making money from money extremes, complexity, business process/procedure extremes, globalization expansionism, monoculture extremes, diversity only extremes, militarization, litigiousness, fighting, war, employment violence, environmental injustice, lack of focusing on priorities, and social injustice in the first place. Is all of this about the 200 and/or 1500-year obscure war? If we had a foundation of loving, caring, sharing, giving, forgiving, and genuine kindness striving in context with Nature striving, natural healthy living, and natural spirituality, we would eliminate killings, assassinations, pollution exclusion, war, violence, terrorism, and every other praying to the man god-king condition.

The We-Me Unidiversity Research Explorers Cycle with a scale independant similarity unique diversity pyramid

From stealth bomber to harmoneous humanity

The stealth bomber reminded me of a conversation with my grandfather when I was 8 to 10. He talked to me about a flying wing. This image of the stealth bomber looks like what he described to me. About that period, I wondered why we had war, killing, and assassinations when I was just reminded in catechism that we are not supposed to kill. When we transition to a world without war, violence, terrorism, killing, and preventable suffering, we would not have any known use for a huge amount of military surplus like this stealth bomber that cost almost a billion dollars. In 2016, we spent 1,6 trillion on military spending just in the United States. Imagine what was spent on all of Earth’s military as well. What if we transform Earth’s militaries into a Restoration and Mission University? If we transition to a similarity/unique diversity perspective on planet Earth without reliance on traditional borders and boundaries as the similarity condition, we will transition to a harmonious humanity. Similar conditions on Earth would be loving, caring, sharing, giving, forgiving, and genuine kindness striving in context with nature, striving for natural healthy living, and spirituality. The similarity condition foundation balances everyone in a similarity condition like the “We are all created Equal” way. Then, we can have as much unique diversity as possible as we strive towards desired future conditions as long as it meets the similarity foundation condition.

As I lay dying, walking dead, and grateful dead

How people are turned into “walking dead,” “Grateful Dead,” “as I lay dying people,” or worse -Reactionary adaptive planning of the law includes using the “articulation of suspicion” clause in legal procedure. Articulating suspicion was easy because it started with manufacturing rumors or manufactured circumstances. Those who manufactured rumors and articulation of suspicion may be the most violent praying to the man god-king people on Earth, or they were controlled and conditioned to act that way. When this happens, a reactionary investigation is started. Reactionary investigations can dominate people and their environments, making them unhealthy and unnatural. But that is a blame mechanism toggle switch conditions with the pollution exclusion in our society. Pollution exclusion is anything at all that makes life unhealthy and unnatural. It can be anything used to get people in trouble, like alcohol, drugs, sex, music lyrics, pornography, employment violence, laws, rules, processes, reactionary adaptive planning, manufacturing articulation of suspicion, complexity, borders, boundaries, confusion, judging, etc. Coincidently, as reactionary investigations start in regions, a judging condition is already set up, and a tremendous amount of pollution exclusion from all sides occurs. First, a police blotter culture, court TV culture, news culture, arresting people culture, LA law, or cops TV show culture is set up in the environment to set up the reactionary law, legal, justice, liberty cycle extremism, and judging culture. This gets everyone functioning as witnesses and judges of everyone else instead of harmonious inclusion, acceptance, and involvement with various communities. Coincidently, at the same time as this anthropogenic “culture” is being set up, people are working, enslaved, put into survival zones, suffering, and experiencing the opposite of a natural and healthy life. Medicine, alcohol, drugs, sex, extreme music, and pornography extremes are intentionally put into the areas under reactionary investigation. People were encouraged to excessively use these various “medicines” to feel better as their lives were being manufactured further into survival zone suffering, loneliness, isolation, employment violence, low-wage jobs, shelter-challenged conditions, nutrition-challenged conditions, lack of nature, lack of nature striving, lack of natural healthy living, and lack of natural spirituality. It is like we were being treated as industrial machines and widgets on the assembly line. This is a highly unhealthy and unnatural anthropocentric extreme condition. Earth’s monoculture hierarchical employment situation extracted everything from and about us, as we were forced to do what we were told. This contributed to a most unhealthy monoculture condition resistant to adaptive health and natural change. Consequently, this led to more suffering and dissatisfaction in the survival zone as people felt they could not contribute to improving things in the work environment or society. When people hit inflection points in the downward spiral feedback loops, pollution exclusion and the liberty cycle extremism cycle occur more and more until cumulative totality pollution exclusion forces them into an unrecoverable condition leading to firing people, disabling people, turning people into walking dead, “grateful dead,” “as I lay dying people,” turning people into “delinquent” labels, turning people into homeless people, turning people into “criminals,” and using the medical system to label people mentally ill, incompetent, sick, ill, or not well enough to go back to living. We need to transition to a Nature striving, natural healthy living, natural spiritual, nature immersion, and natural inspirational incentives foundation on Earth as we generalize everything down to loving, caring, sharing, giving, forgiving, and genuine kindness striving similarity for everyone on Earth. Then, we can be a planet Earth community first, meaning we can associate with any community, group, area, or person on Earth. Then, we can have the healthiest natural Earth striving for diversity if it meets the conditions of similarity.

Patterns Hypothesis

Everything I say or write is either a hypothesis, an alternative hypothesis, or a null hypothesis. I am concerned there is a 200-year war versus a 500-year war toggle switch war and investment strategy. This is because of the European beech trees in Norfolk, Connecticut, and the interesting architecture. I am even more concerned that my family, friends, people that love and care, and people that helped me learn are at risk of perturbation, illness, or worse. I have an indicator species approach to understanding that a professor at a university I attended may have been pollution-excluded and possibly assassinated because he helped me learn about the Transcontinental Railroad. He was in a pollution zone around the area of a paper mill. I am concerned that anyone in a pollution zone may become impacted by a multiple replication method of cumulative totality pollution exclusion. I even noticed in my class that he came in one day with red blisters. What concerns me now is that the same kind of pollution exclusion replication process war and investment strategy may impact my family. I went to work for New England Forest Resources, which coincidently had offices adjacent to a paper mill. My office faced the pollution stacks at the mill. The valley and regions around that area have a high cancer rate, mainly because of inversions and other phenomena as well. Knowing whether pollution is bioaccumulating in my family is unimportant because perceptions or rumors can spread about that phenomenon as the source of illness. The rumors are similar to those of my home region when I was growing up and when a pollution exclusion liberty cycle extremism toggle switch impacted me. Other people in my family may have gone through the same thing, especially in the last 200 years. Strangely, my nephew Daniel passed away at 15 years old, but I have no idea if it is related or not. It may be because unknown dust was spread in my sister’s house.  Coincidently, I had some dust and substance put in my cinnamon container at my home in Vermont. The rumors are similar to those of my home region when I was growing up and when a pollution exclusion liberty cycle extremism toggle switch impacted me. Other people in my family may have gone through the same thing, especially in the last 200 years. Strangely, my nephew Daniel passed away at 15 years old, but I have no idea if it is related or not.  What concerns me now is that the same kind of pollution exclusion replication process war and investment strategy may impact my family. I was all about the extraction, exchange investment, and exclusion of people on Earth as those that are winning the 500 or 200-year war or both keep controlling the status quo condition. However, I believe if we all release ourselves from those things that prevent us, we will all be able to reconnect with our heart energy as our similar condition. I have an idea called the Earth Unidiversity Research Explorers Cycle with a Similarity Foundation Unique Diversity Pyramid that would unite all of us on Earth.

HOLISTIC PERSPECTIVES ON THE INDUSTRIAL AND INFORMATION REVOLUTION-2014

The Industrial and Information Revolutions would have had much less detrimental impacts on our planet if these three indices had been held in higher regard. First, our society and planet would have been much better off if we used holistic planning methods to look at the broad multidimensional structure and functioning of our society from an ecological, geographical perspective. Second, instead of making money, the consideration of Ecological Value, energy, and benefit creation in a broad index form should have been the first consideration with emphasis on the creation of as much value, energy, and benefits striving to create as much benefit on the totality of our environment. This relatively weighted continuum indicator strives to measure a broad cumulative ecological and environmental impact on our environment and society. Benefiting the environment includes individuals, families, communities, regions, our natural environment, our life support systems, and planet Earth itself. Third, a well-intentionedness index should have been created, a broad cumulatively relatively weighted indicator that strives to measure the totality of an organization’s well-intentionedness. This indicator alone would function as an incentive to strive to end all detrimental impacting behaviors on planet Earth that contribute to individual, societal, or environmental destruction, illness, and suffering in a cumulative, relatively weighted way. It would also prevent extreme ultra-competitive behaviors. Only then should we consider some well-defined money or profit, but it should always be relative to those first indicators. Profit should or could be used as reinvestment into the creation of more beneficially functioning organizational behaviors, paying dividends to holistic, well-intentioned investors who primarily consider the first three indicators in their research of an E.N.O. Logically and rationally more “business” will be conducted with those that function with these four principles and indices primarily. Likewise, more E.E.C. will flow to people and other organizations as well. The world would be better if something like this occurred before any revolution. Let’s eliminate the “r” in revolution because evolution has much less impact.

INCLUSION AND EMBRACING INSTEAD OF SHUNNING AND EXCLUDING-2014

A long time ago, I thought it might be worthwhile to bring together everyone who loves and cares and, through time, bring people on board until everyone was included and helping one another more embracing and upliftingly. I recently was reminded in a church event that it may not be as difficult as it seems because it is a spatial-temporal exponential growth, like a candle being lit where each successive candle being lit increases the rate at which all the candles are lit around the world. In the late 1980s, my context was the total of my life experience and education. Had I known then what I know now, I would have planned together with the most loving, caring, well-intentioned, valuable, energy, and benefit-producing people on Earth. Somehow, those who have had some sort of controlling influence or power over me seem to take everything out of context and make me look bad in the process because they would rather exclude me than include me. Out-of-context behavior creates potential detrimental and significant impacts as those with the least ability try to make a go of the concepts, with only their life experience and education controlling their perspectives. In fact, everyone should strive to be individuals first; otherwise, you take on the characteristics of those who control you. Fire ecology also reminds me that the more fuel for love and caring behavior, the more vigorous it will spread, and more wind will be generated, which spreads it faster and faster as well. It is time to transition and transform our existing behavior everywhere in individual and organizational contexts as soon as possible. No human miracle should be shunned or excluded because each one of us knows most about what we know about and each one of us is needed to contribute towards preventing and solving all of the problems we have on planet Earth now and over the horizon world without end…

Individuals, Organizations, and Solving Problems in a way things Should be in a Sustainable Striving World-2011/2014

Rick Simmons October 27th, 2011 Edited April 1, 2014

Individuals, Organizations, and Solving Problems in a way things Should be in a Sustainable Striving World

Every individual and organization ought to be on a dynamic continuum. No longer can we have boundrified structures and functions for human beings and organizations. It limits us and causes war like ultra competition. These fortified structures have increased the detrimentally impacting behaviors, contributing to downward spiral feedback loops at both societal levels and individuals. Each person and organization should have a public-to-private spectrum where everyone and everything has connectivity from the public side of the spectrum to the private side of the spectrum. Human beings are the foundation, so we must strive to be healthy in all ways and all manners.

I believe we need connectivity for everyone on both sides of the continuum. Voting is not enough. Connecting with just your friends is essential, but we can include everyone. Therefore, we need to connect everyone everywhere. If everyone is connected, they will be less likely to need help in a reactionary way. Everyone will be included and will always be working along the continuum, depending on their situation at that particular time. Some people may desire several responsibilities along the continuum depending on their enthusiasm, abilities, and desire to help make the world better. Everyone will be included all the time, interacting constantly with others. As a side benefit of the potential to be helped before you need help, you can contribute directly to an inclusive form of symbiotically functioning organizations with nothing but beneficially impacting behaviors. As well as individuals, these organizations function continually and relatively on both sides of the spectrum, regardless of their role or mission. These individuals and organizations will contribute to comprehensive knowledge and relatively weighted contributory information towards making the world a better place to live.

Who are you? You are a human miracle that is very important and relevant in this world. No matter who you are. With this method, you will continuously develop yourself while contributing what you offer somewhere along the spectrum. It is all about continual learning and continual contribution. The amount of time and energy you commit and the benefits you provide will make way for reciprocated resources in the form of connectivity, public benefits, equilibrium compensation benefits, compensation, reduced insurance, and other incentives, depending on how much assistance you provide. Contributions can be broad, including data collection, actual on-the-ground work helping others, helping with your expertise in your field of interest, and anything that needs to occur to help make the world a better place. Suppose a person gets laid off or fired from their primary societal role. In that case, they will immediately shift their focus on the continuum, automatically being accepted on the more public benefit-producing side of the spectrum. Immediately, they will be connected to others along their path of interest according to their desired path in life. They can devote more energy to helping others, the environment, or everyone else. In exchange, equilibrium compensation will be provided. There will be no more unemployment. We will all function on a public-to-private continuum with limitless bounds. This way, we will only be limited by the amount of energy, benefits, value, imagination, and creativity we as individuals have the potential to offer.

When we all contribute in a relatively weighted way, we will be able to provide the needed assistance, data, needs, and wants to people and organizations that not only care but care about you. In other words, if we transform to a perspective that is all about helping one another instead of getting people in trouble or ultra-competing, we have limitless potential. Those with the most responsibility and authentic leadership qualities will mentor and guide the rest of us. One of the greatest benefits will be appropriate, well-planned accuracy and precision regarding data, analysis, scientific research, and making decisions. Currently, we roughly estimate the unemployment rate, poverty levels, and all sorts of other data related to human beings. We are more important than the relative error associated with rough estimates. We need the appropriate planning associated with the actual problem-solving objectives of the problem, including needs relative to related problems.

While we are transitioning these problems to a more holistic, desired future condition in a continually adaptive way, we will better understand our closer-to-reality situation. We make decisions based on data and analysis that do not represent good enough information. Many people are needlessly suffering because we don’t have good enough reliable information about the way things are closer to reality. This allows lobbyists, politicians, and anyone else in a decision-making role to talk about problems without knowing the information and knowledge that are closer to reality. I had a mentor that said, “Facts are information taken out of context.” It’s true. Therefore, we must stop out-of-context judging and decision-making from occurring all the time in our society and our world. It is a waste of time and resources.

One way this would help is to find places with higher suitability and opportunity. In other words, we would be able to find places where we could start an ecological niche organization, opportunities to help, or opportunities for holistic-minded people to innovate, create, and contribute. I am worried that the current ways of doing things are a tremendous waste of time, energy, and resources because we waste so much time arguing over things that we don’t know with greater relative certainty, multidimensionally speaking. It will enable us to solve and holistically prevent problems before they spiral out of control. Another great benefit of this way of doing things is feeling part of a family and connecting to everyone else, making you less likely to get in your survival zone and slip into out-of-control feedback loops. You will never have a chance to feel isolated and detrimentally lonely. Imagine all the lives that would be saved. Wouldn’t it be worth it if we could save just one life? Again, even if you get laid off, you will immediately be associated with others who will help you return to your life’s path to happiness. No matter your characteristics or stage in life, you will have access to the best resources to get you back on your feet promptly. It would prevent people from slipping into extreme survival zones with out-of-control feedback loops. In essence, it would protect people more holistically before there is an opportunity for things to spiral way out of control. Most importantly, it will enable people to feel loved and cared about. This, coupled with connectivity to help resources, will quickly allow us to pick people up when they fall or have a problem in life. Desperation will cease as the dynamic helping process will get you back on track. Even if you have problems at work, you can get help with connectivity along the spectrum. Additionally, this method will enable holistic professionals to help you in a more preventative sense instead of waiting to react when you are ill, homeless, unemployed, or need help in any other way. This stops the multiplying effect by quick problem intervention and solutions, so it also minimizes others from getting hurt. Only when we help everyone and allow everyone to contribute what they can can we make the world a better place to live?

Most of all, I believe this solution, coupled with the help project (See Help Project), will prevent violence, suicides, domestic violence, violent crimes, homelessness, hunger, poverty, mental illness, suffering, and despair. This project will strive to eliminate all crime. It will provide assistance and connectivity to all people who need help before things have a chance to spiral out of control. It will also serve as a means to study how to make things constantly better in a multidimensional way. The ultimate goal is to solve and prevent problems holistically and peacefully before things get way out of control for individuals, which leads to a downward spiral for relationships, communities, regions, society, the natural environment, and Earth itself. Imagine how much more integrated and unified in purpose we would be. Wouldn’t it be great to transition to a desired future condition and how things could be sustainable striving for planet Earth?
