Early Days: From Personal Awareness to Group Commitment

Abstract

The way we build our human complex societies, their rise and collapse, can be related to the amazing working of our individual and collective consciousness and the (lack of) willingness to address fundamental change. Using the personal path finding and determination of our founder as an example we reveal the coming about of the ideology behind Sustainocracy, the initiation of the STIR Foundation, the forming and growth of the AiREAS cooperative association and finally this publication about the completion of a first phase, making visible the invisible. We relate, through backward interpretation and forward evolution, the scientific insights of Pythagoras, Socrates, Dabrowski, Maslov, Lieberman, Scharmer and Senge, after having put it all into practice and value the results we have achieved so far.
