I am so glad to see the world we
have now. When I was 29, a long time ago back in 2011, the world seemed that it was about to
collapse. For so long we were obliged to make money in order to live, so much
so that we created wars and killed millions of people to grow our economies,
our system made it compulsory to destroy nature in order to live. It sounds
unthinkable in today’s world but then, destroying life in the name of life was
the norm and our economic model played a huge role, if not the biggest after
the absence of spirituality, in the world we had then.
Today things are different. I
remember when in the midst of what seemed to be the end of the world, lots of
people where asking more questions about the planet we were destroying and the
goals we had set for that civilization…the conversation grew in amazing
proportions and I had the pleasure to participate. I had many passions and
interests that were difficult to see as separate. So through the internet, I
created my own learning space with blogs. My entire life I struggled to
understand why the world was the way it was. At some point I focused on the
economic system of the time and created my first blog “The New Economics for
Humanity”. As I progressed with the topic, I was also deepening my
understanding of my own spiritual journey. The relationship of my actions and
intentions with my spiritual life was becoming more and more evident. Then I
found an essential function to perform in this lifetime: I discovered my
function as a connector.
I believed that most of our
planet’s issues had to do with our spiritual emptiness. I believed, and today
the world confirms my thoughts of the time, that everything was connected,
everything was only one thing. We
couldn’t understand that because we were disconnected from everything and
everyone…or so we thought. I felt then, that my deepest desire to do anything I
was doing, came out of that feeling of connection. I felt that every expression
of life was to the earth, what cells were to each of those expressions. I
individually felt like I was a cell of the earth. I thought so many times about
my own body, wondering whether it was possible for my cells to deliberately try
to kill it. I concluded it wasn’t possible, different cells perform different
functions, when in groups they create different aspects of a body; tissues,
organs, systems. And all together a body is very complex, so is the earth, but
all cells are connected. When something in one part of the body doesn’t feel
right, symptoms appear in different ways. And when we treat diseases directed
to a particular function in a specific area of the body, more often than not, another
problem appears. It just seemed so similar to what I observed was happening on
this planet.
The main project I was invested
for the NEH, started as a project to create “the banks of the future”. The main
purpose was to democratically redistribute official currency, promote the
creation of local ones and re-localize economies. Then, an additional aspect entered the game: A lot of
people were trying to change the world, but they weren’t getting paid for it,
they were getting paid to do the jobs that were destroying their souls and the
earth. In the world we had, not being paid was a constraint…for many, it was
the biggest constraint to change the world for the better, and it was the
biggest source of fear.
The
urgency became more urgent.
