GLOBALIZATION OF PEACE AND HEALING OF THE EARTH
THE CONCEPT OF GLOBAL HEALING BIOTOPES

The apocalypse lies in the heart of the cells,
engraved in the genetic core of humanity,
as a result of a five thousand year long era
of war and separation, violence and fear.
Our task is to change the core
with the help of a new code of life.

Humanity has reached a dead end street, which, if we continue down this road, can only lead to a catastrophic end. 40 years ago people were full of the illusion that everything could continue to go well, but today this illusion is gone. The number of human beings and animals that are killed every day has risen immeasurably and keeps on rising daily. In order to save life on earth and be able to look forward to a future worth living, we need a new starting point, a new mindset, and a new substance in the innermost part of the whole. We need something that changes the entire organism of humanity.
To change a living system, we must change its operational center, its center of information, its genetic code. If one succeeds in inserting a new set of information at a central location, the entire system changes. The earth is such a system. The end of global destruction is not a question of the exterior balance of power, but of the genetic information that is inserted into the overall organism. The organic world of life functions according to the principles of homeopathy, which means that the overall organism is not changed by mega-systems but by micro-substances. An intelligent desire for overall healing definitively avoids the gigantism of our time.
A future without war is a real possibility; it is contained as a possibility in the "implicit order" of our world. We must create the necessary inner and outer systemic conditions in order to take it from the implicit order to the explicit (manifest) order. Relatively small groups, distributed across the earth, suffice to give evolution a new direction.

The current globalization of violence can only be stopped and overcome by globalizing a new power of peace that is "stronger than all violence". The creation of global peace requires a fundamental change in our forms of life, forms of love, forms of economy, forms of settlement, forms of thought and forms of belief. In the beginning, these new forms must be developed and tested within small pilot projects and research centers, before they can manifest globally. Global healing work therefore requires such centers. We call them "healing biotopes". It is not the futurological super projects that are being planned today, but the small planetary models that take consideration of the innermost issues of human beings that will create the change that is needed today.

Healing biotopes are places where all those involved - human beings, animals, plants, nature spirits and cosmic beings – live together in joint evolution and cooperation. Old fears and separation are replaced by trust and contact. The reestablishment of TRUST is one of the most central tasks of planetary renewal. Healing biotopes are greenhouses of trust. Non-violent cooperation, in solidarity between human beings and all fellow creatures, is a foundation for the coming era.

In order to reach this goal, we need to develop a way of living together that is free of fear and violence. The main area of crisis in our times lies in the relationship between human beings. Several thousand years of war history has deeply shaken the relationship of human beings to one another. The legacy of collective suffering has resulted in the creation of human structures of hatred, distrust, fear and propensity to violence, blocking all attempts toward peace. A collective trauma has imprinted itself on the genetic core of humanity as a whole. Within the framework of global peace work, we are now faced with the task of dissolving this traumatic core and the energies that are bound up in it and of giving them a new, life-affirming direction. This is not individual therapy; it is a transformation of the deepest archetypal forces and images of the soul. The life images that have been characterized by thousands of years of persecution, separation and deprivation must be transformed into archetypal powers of reunification, abundance and love; the matrix of separation must be transformed into the matrix of unity and a sense of belonging. The great transformation that is just beginning will not end before the powers of reconciliation and solidarity with all beings have been fully imprinted into the mental, spiritual and bodily structures of our existence, our brains and the nuclei of our cells. Humanity needs a new code of life. The genetic material must be reconditioned toward peace - not through technical genetic manipulation, but through new experiences in the great space of our earthly-cosmic existence.

At the core of healing biotopes there is a new relationship between the sexes. The collective trauma relates especially to the relationship between the sexes. Behind the anguish of unfulfilled love relationships and unfulfilled erotic dreams, there is a latent (or open) war between the sexes, which today claims more victims than traffic accidents. The world is suffering from lovesickness. Millions of lovers and married couples would give anything to again experience the joy that they shared with each other in the beginning. The unfulfilled longing for Eros, love, trust and a feeling of home is the core issue that lies behind all the facades of our time. There can be no peace on earth as long as there is war in love. One of the most central tasks involved in the creation of a new culture is the dissolution of the trauma between the sexes and the restoration of an honest, happy life together between men and women. Only then can the subliminal potential of hatred be dissolved, so that children can grow up in a future worth living. We can only speak of "healing biotopes" when this, the most difficult point, has been fulfilled, at least in terms of intent, and when people are courageous enough to create new perspectives for the erotic core of human culture.

In the living tissue of the earth, healing biotopes are small acupunctural centers with a few hundred inhabitants, who in their own lives are able to realize the new planetary forms of settlement. The success of such models will determine if we can hope for a real future without war.
The new centers are very complex systems. Evolutionary success does not depend on strength but on complexity. The things that have been separated for a long time must be reunited with each other: Eros with religion, science with spiritual experience, archaic world consciousness with modern cosmology, indigenous tribal culture with modern organization, and female sources of knowledge with ecology and community. Art and cult will come together, opening up the shared source from where they came.
A high level of complexity means a high level of synergy. The healing effect of the new centers is not tied to any individual main line, but to the synergy of the whole. Interdisciplinary work, based on mutual communication and transparency, is one of the preconditions for these new research communities. Ethics, being the connecting moral bond of the human family, will rediscover its authentic source in the truth and in being there for one another in functioning communities. The first thing that must be learned is to live in functioning communities. This was the first task of the project that we established 30 years ago – and it still is today.

The new centers are largely self-sustaining. Within the framework of an economy with a high degree of self-sufficiency, new technologies are used in the areas of energy, information, water and food. The necessary know-how is already largely available, the models have been developed and tested for the last 30 years, and they must now be combined in a productive way. The solar village that is being created in Tamera/Portugal (with the new solar technology of Jürgen Kleinwächter) is a multifaceted attempt in this direction. It is to be combined with the ecological aquaculture and permaculture that have been developed by Sepp Holzer. Further developments will be added. Here, no doubt, further research is needed – as well as research money!

Healing biotopes are global research centers in which concrete peace research is conducted on the basis of living communities – thus the term “peace research village”. This “peace” is meant to be global. Correspondingly, great emphasis is placed on creating models that can be generalized. Here, globality means generalizability. As soon as some core points and guidelines for the new settlement of our planet have been found, a global field effect will arise on its own. The planetary organism then integrates the new information. In the social and cultural areas we get what Rupert Sheldrake called “morphogenetic field creation” in the area of biology. Comparable centers will be established at many places on earth. It is from a network of such centers that the coming planetary civilization will emerge.

A new humane world can only arise through a fundamental change in the human being. It is not the technical mega-systems of current future planning, or colonies on Mars or floating cities that will bring peace. Instead, it is small futurological models of life that, thanks to their highly complex structure and integration, their activation of the powers of life and their embeddedness into the universal order of life, will change the genetic structure of the biosphere. They are the acupuncture points within the global organism of the earth. If something new occurs here – as in the acupuncture of the body – the whole shifts and changes.

In the name of love.
In the name of the children.
In the name of all living creatures.
