compassion, collaboration & cooperation iN transistion
...of Buckminster Fuller's IDEA of a sustainable future for
human[KIND] as custodians of ALL the passengers of
Spaceship Earth, was first established as part and parcel
of my own • MINDSIGHT during my spare time whilst I
was studying at Grammar School, when I was constructing
a model of the Vickers Wellington, which because of its
geodesic design and construction, survived more sorties
during WWII than any other bomber.
The urgency and level of caring necessary must NOW be no
less than planetary in its scope. It's taken some fourteen
billion years for life and consciousness to gain the capacity
for self- consciousness, while at the same time the
biosphere, which makes life possible, is now threatened.
But to generate the quality of solutions and level of moral
caring that will be necessary to save the biosphere, society,
our education system, and ourselves, we must change the
level of our own thinking. It's time to focus our energy
and exploration on the inward dimension of what it means
to be an evolving human being.
As Don Beck once proposed when quoting Einstein ...
"Our problems cannot be solved using the same level of
thinking that created them." In order to take this next
Momentous Leap in human evolution, "[IT]'s critical that
we find the cartographers of consciousness, and the
mapmakers of the terrain". And as Scandinavia is one
of the regions centred on the tipping point to second tier,
it's within our potential take on this challenge...
"to provide for the rest of the world the
kinds of models that the world needs."

Bucky Explained For the Rest of Us
The author is uniquely qualified to clarify Fuller's transcendental Synergetic Geometry. She presents the insights and logic behind Fuller's decades-long discovery of Nature's own coordinating system. Step by step, she leads the reader through a comprehensive review of the basic principles of Synergetics. If you tried reading this 2 volume work with limited success, this book will make Bucky's intuitions, writing style, integrity, and achievements beautifully comprehensible. Keep in mind that this material is pure math. For a non-technical presentation of Fuller's ideas, a book like Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth would be more appropriate.
