»In this life anybody who doesn’t
give up is courageous.«
– Paul McCartney
English pop musician, ex-Beatle
In this chapter we speak about how
we can manage the transition. What can each of us do with very simple means so
that we can introduce the Natural Economy of Life on this earth within a very
short time and be able to enjoy worldwide prosperity in peace and in harmony
with nature?
You, dear reader, are sure to have a
lot to do. Presumably you have to earn your living and perhaps you have a
family to support and have to take care of your children’s upbringing and
education. You possibly have a hobby or are involved in good causes. To manage
all this you sometimes wish the day had more than 24 hours. And now you are
supposed to campaign for a new monetary and economic system as well!
The prospect that the Natural
Economy of Life could solve all economic problems connected with money in this
world will not make more time available to you in the here and now. However
important all this may be, your time is completely taken up.
That’s why I now have good news for
you. Do you know the expression »wu wei – doing by doing nothing«? Even if you
cannot invest any extra time at all, it is possible for you to do a lot by
»doing nothing« in the truest sense.
Yet there is one very small thing
left we beg you to do: pass on the information! That is really easy today and
if you have a computer it can be done with just a few mouse clicks. The e-book
of the »Free Edition« is free of charge and its dissemination is explicitly
desired. Here you can download the free e-book: http://gradido.net/Book.
Send emails to your friends and
relatives with the free e-book attached. Ask the recipient to study the
information and, in their turn, send it so as many friends as possible. Post
the free e-book on your social networks and ask your friends to pass it on.
If you have friends who speak
another language have a look on our website to see what languages the book is
already available in. Now, as I write, we are starting in German and English.
We welcome anybody who would like to help translate it into other languages.
You do not have to agree with
everything you have read here. The gradido is a research project and the
content of this book contains the present state of research. It is important
for as many people as possible to know about the solutions described here as
soon as possible. After that we will still be able to develop the system
further.
Have you heard how fast news can
spread on the internet? When the time is ripe, it spreads like wildfire. It can
go extremely quickly: when ten people send it to ten of their friends, that
already makes 100. When they send it on, it multiplies to 1,000, 10,000,
100,000, millions…, and after just a few days the information has gone round
the world.
A few mouse clicks and a few
friendly words are all that is necessary –
no more than what you do anyway to keep in touch with your friends and
acquaintances.
The world is in a state of change
and more and more people are waking up. Some change their opinions or even
their views of the world in a moment when they receive the appropriate
information. Don’t be too choosy about who you send the e-book to. Someone who
was not interested in this subject yesterday can be raving about it today.
Yesterday’s declared enemy may be open for it today and an enthusiastic
advocate tomorrow. If you send the book to too many people you run the risk of
it landing up in the trash but if you send it to too few, you put our common
future at risk.
What will happen if the Natural
Economy of Life becomes more and more known? People will form opinions about
it, communicate about it and discuss it. Possible weaknesses will be found and corrected,
as is usual in a research project. Nature, environmental, peace and other
organisations study it, the media report on it and politicians discuss it. The
Natural Economy of Life becomes part of party manifestos. The first countries
offer themselves as pilot regions and introduce the step-by-step plan with
other countries following. The model continues to be improved more and more:
then it is introduced in major nations or even entire continents and finally in
the whole world.
You will also have contributed to
this wonderful transformation, dear reader! With a few mouse clicks you have
helped to ignite a wildfire, whose impacts benefit everybody and harm nobody.
Just as the proverbial flutter of a butterfly’s wing can set off a hurricane,
you have helped to bring about a gentle revolution of love by passing on this
information verbally or in writing – information that has the potential to
transform our beautiful earth back into the paradise we humans were once
expelled from.
And with this we are already at the
end of this chapter. At the beginning I promised you it would be the shortest
chapter in the whole book and I have kept my promise. You do not need to do
more than what was described above. However, if you have the wish to make a
contribution with your inclinations and abilities, cooperate with us more
intensively or join the gradido network, you will find information in the
appendix to this book.
We will conclude by taking a look
into the future together…
