INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY
In a world that is increasingly polarized around moral
values, we have to recognize concerted, well-informed
action is the mandate of our times. New Energy
Movement advocates collective organizing at the
grassroots level, with an ultimate aim of shifting the
balance of power from the corporate sphere to
de-centralized, relatively self-sufficient
communities.
New Energy technology alone will not bring about the
re-distribution of power necessary to sustainable
economy. Yet, it is the undeniable solution to our
present system which relies on a constant influx of
natural capital (planetary resources) to maintain the
expansion of debt-based growth. New Energy portends
an abundant, virtually non-consumptive trend in
economics that no other fundamental advance can boast.
This is a function of the cosmic, rather than earthly
source of New Energy, dramatically altering the impact
of technology upon the biosphere.
It is an enduring principle of indigenous peoples that
actions contemplated in the present should take into
account the 'Seventh Generation' before they are
performed. Where energy is concerned, it touches
every aspect of our lives and thus requires the
greatest forethought in its continued use and
development.
Growing a sustainable economy is the responsibility of
individuals empowered with the vision of true
community. As the knowledge of New Energy is one of
the most transformative resources we have at our
disposal, bringing this information to our community
leaders is among the first steps we can take. Also,
we should challenge academic authorities to examine
the evidence of New Energy discoveries, embrace
broader theoretical understandings and shepherd the
introduction of these technologies into society.
A cooperative economic model, one which establishes
'natural capital' as its fundamental standard of
value, might incorporate New Energy as a measure of
economic wealth. In other words, now it is becoming
clear that energy need not be sourced only from
limited terrestrial resources but may be precipitated
from the quantum field of universal potential, we can
say that the prevalence of New Energy technologies
demonstrates a greater abundance of 'natural capital'
in a local economy. Such communities that are infused
with this power can rightly claim a form of basic
'equity' that others without it surely cannot.
If we want to see a fundamental shift in the power
structure of this world, New Energy clearly presents
an unparalleled solution. It is as if the blinders
have come off, and no one can pull the wool over our
eyes any longer. Energy is not a private commodity of
a few industrialists, but the cosmic birthright of all
who share breath. Social policy must reflect this
essential wisdom, and government must uphold it or be
forced by the common people to accept a more equitable compact.
