The Other Way

To the natural solitude of my “Back Forty” is where I frequently find my way in order to relax and meditate before going about my daily chores. Here I seem to be far removed from the confusing sounds of the workaday world of Industry, Business, Politics, Finance and Commerce. It is here that I can get a perspective on these things, especially Business and Finance. I am surrounded by Nature’s resources in the forms of Energy and many diversified living beings. Fresh air as gentle breezes, play in the trees and ripple across the stubble of the grasses in my hayfield. Little song birds chirp and sing as they go about their business of gathering berries and insects from the bushes. Wild flowers, called weeds bloom around me. A fussy little chipmunk scampers up a nearby tree, with a nut in its mouth, chattering all the while and then is hidden from my view.

This is where Nature reigns as true “Free Enterprise”, unhampered by any apparent control by “Business”. (I contend that “Business” has no business interfering with Nature anywhere at any time, for any reason!)

This is where I often come to get new inspiration and a new vision of this world of reality. Here my vision clears and I clearly perceive our many Global Problems as one fundamental problem.

It was here that the “Still, Small, Voice” advised me that mankind should seek as soon as possible to learn how to travel “The Other Way”.

This other way is the way of “Technology and Industry” controlled by People for their individual and collective global Good and Welfare.

The way we are traveling, is the way to Global chaos, disintegration and eventually ruin. This present way is the rough and rocky road now being traveled by “Industry”, which is “Whip and Spur” controlled by its twin jockeys – “Business plus Finance”. They seem to be racing “hell-bent” for the corner Bank and/or the Stock Market. May the fastest and most successful man/business win! Those others, the many losers, apparently do not seem to matter in this race and are soon all but forgotten.

With apologies to the many who believe in the glories of “Capitalism and Industry”, be it known these two institutions should not be assumed to be teamed together as many claim they should be. As seen from “The Back Forty”, the reality is this: Capitalism and Business, are now twinned to control “Industry” in all of its phases, in order to limit both Production and Distribution, in such a way as to yield the greatest profit for these joint-owners, “Business and Capitalism”

From the time that Neanderthal man ran out of the Garden of Eden, (I believe that they, Adam and Eve chose the wrong route). They have, I believe unwittingly, been following the ‘way of competition to personal achievement and glorification’. This is the way of man against Man and man, against Nature, rather than the way of co-operation, which is mutual help and sharing in meeting the challenges of the natural world. It is a fundamental law of life, where two or three or even more gather together, God, the generator of life and growth, renders unto them strength and direction. The Adams and the Eves have now reached the end of their rocky road with only the view of confused destruction–lost in the fog ahead. With this view in mind this little book was conceived for the multitudes to read and comprehend in order that all of mankind together, can find its sure way back to that long lost civilization, before it is too late.
