“Butterfly Communities” open project for a systemic and coherent transition toward a fair political and economic civilization

Solution

We want to join the cultural movement for a systemic and coherent transition toward a fair political and economic civilization (that subsequently will be more ecologically sustainable).

For this individual and social transformation to take place, what we need, first and foremost, is to root ourselves into the new metaphysics of the Living Universe, that is based on the last scientific understanding. We can not expect to solve our crisis from the same understanding that created it in the first place. Only from a Universe-centered consciousness, that is able to embrace the whole Planet as its new self, we can overcome our social and ecological crisis, aligning our daily life with the principles of Life.

This change has to start with everyone of us, at individual level.
For this beginning, we are ready to offer you seminars and courses, that are weaving together a coherent worldview and vision – as the basis for you to develop the necessary skills for holarchic relationships, symbiotic behavior and cooperative life strategies.

“Butterfly Community” open-project proposes the scientific-based perspective of the Living Universe as the metaphysics of a new way of social organization (holarchic organization with autonomy and quasi-self-sufficiency at every level of social integration, having as basic building blocks the human-scale “Butterfly” communities). It has a coherent vision of what a possible fair human society could look like, how the systemic transition will unfold, and what kind of strategies we have to employ to reach these goals.

Who resonates with this worldview, vision and cooperative strategies will unite themselves to form the first “Butterfly” brotherhoods, clans and communities – the buds of a possible future “Butterfly” Society – in the midst of our collapsing society.

Besides a widespread cultural movement (songs, dances and all other artistic expressions), a top priority should be the building of “impressive examples” of alternative communities, that could offer examples of different (conducive to fairness) human communities/organizations than mainstream “business-as-usual”, “society-as usual” or “individualist behavior as usual” currently offers.

The alternative of Butterfly Communities (holarchic social organization with autonomy and quasi-self-sufficiency at every level of social integration, having as basic building blocks the human-scale “Butterfly” communities) will require a great deal of conscientious participation based on a clear and coherent worldview, with its clear and coherent political and economical engagement.

Such communities cannot function satisfactorily unless the majority of their members share a common coherent worldview, a common vision and common strategies to achieve their purposes.
This new way of human organization requires a radical “reinvention” of what a human society should be and an individual transformation from individualistic to cooperative life strategies, on one hand, and from exploitative/unsustainable to regenerative/ecologically sustainable life strategies, on the other hand.

We need a coherent systemic transition from our current society to one that is fair and sustainable. As its first step, it should start with a radical transformation at the metaphysical level – the level that informs all the next steps and layers.

These coherent and systemic steps require far more skills and social involvement than most citizens have in today’s consumer society. All these required habits, values and skills can only be built through the long experience of living in self-sufficient, self-governing communities.

Butterfly Communities could become:
1) social spaces where their members will develop these necessary values, skills, and behaviors;
2) “impressive examples” that would establish this fair and ecological way of living more firmly in the human historical record and cultural memory;
3) “living laboratories” where humanity can prototype – in safe political and economical conditions – a fair and ecological society – as a proactive systemic transition toward a future fair human society.

The skills and habits must be learned from living in societies that are responsible for their own government and maintenance. The more successful we are in getting thriving examples going, the more firmly will the desirability of this “fair way” be established in human consciousness.

The most important area for the development of Butterfly Communities is not the intentional rural “eco-village”, where most action is currently taking place, but on the deep personal transformation from individualistic toward cooperative life strategies.
This is the only step forward – in our evolutionary journey as individuals and as a species – that will make a difference! From this new understanding, we can unite ourselves in small “brotherhoods” that could allow us to live in a more symbiotic way. A more symbiotic way is – by definition – fairer and with a smaller ecological footprint.

There is no chance for any systemic change at the macro-level, if there is no systemic change at the metaphysical level! And this change should start with our personal transformation.

For this gradual, but coherent and systemic personal transformation to take place, a wise strategy is to unite ourselves and co-create (alternative) social spaces
1) consciously designed to be conducive to social fairness and minimal ecological footprint and
2) having a very coherent vision, worldview and strategies.

This is what “Butterfly Communities” open-project is about first and foremost.
