Your Diamond Mind –

Insight and Courage

One of the ways that heroes appear is when there is a great need, either a personal need or a need in society.

The books of Charles Eisenstein reflect his answers to society’s need.

This author deals with the great questions of how we interpret our life.

In his book, “Sacred  Economics”, he defines our relationship to money and practical ways it can be uplifted to serve all people.

He deals with the “ascent” rather  than the “descent” of man.

He  shows how our common ground is in our unity and uplifting character.

He demonstrates his conviction through his own actions in taking care of his health and the ideals he shares with his young son and his readers.

His comprehensive look at the issues which concern him show a deeper thought than just “cleaning up” problems.

His writings help evolve the reader into a comprehensive view of solutions which create a new relationship to each other and to the earth.

Another writer who is forward-thinking in a big way, is Rob Hopkins.  

His book, “The Transition Handbook” describes dealing with wyas to wean ourselves off oil dependency and ways to deal with climage change.

Since 2004, people have been creating “Transition Towns”, all over the world based on practical steps to build community resources.

His goal is for people to have local, sustainable solutions, within fifty to one hundred miles,  which they can determine for their own locale.

These include food, transportation, and all the other things we need for daily living.

His own town of Totnes, UK even had a local currency for several years.

Intentional Communities begin with idealistic goals and develop practical ways to carry them out.

Eastwind Community in the US, has been in operation for over forty years.

Members live in a community and work for thrity-five hours per week on their business of making and selling and distributing organic nut butters.

The strength and courage of these leaders to define and share their ideals is very heroic to me.

Once again, I am grateful for their insight and implusion and courage to share them.
