How Do We Get There? "The historical mission of our time is to reinvent the human-at the species level, with critical reflection, within the community of life systems, in a time-developmental context, by means of story and shared dream experience." –Thomas Berry A Publication of the Center for Ecozoic Studies Volume 4, Number 4, 2007 The Great Work We are about the Great Work. We all have our particular work–some of us are teachers, some of us are healers, some of us in various professions, some of us are farming. We have a variety of occupations. But beside the particular work we do and the particular lives we lead, we have a Great Work that everyone is involved in and no one is exempt from. That is the work of moving on from a terminal Cenozoic1 to an emerging Ecozoic Era2 in the story of the planet Earth . which is the Great Work. —Thomas Berry 1Our current geo-biological era, the Cenozoic Era, began 65,000,000 years ago following the mass extinction of dinosaurs and many other species. Now Earth is undergoing another mass extinction of plant and animal species, this time caused by the impact of human activity on the community of life systems. The Cenozoic Era is ending. 2That another geo-biological era will follow the Cenozoic Era is not in question. What is in question is whether humans and other forms of life as we know them will continue to flourish. Will we achieve a viable mode of human presence on the Earth? The "Ecozoic Era"–a time of mutually enhancing relationships among humans and the larger community of life – represents the hope that we will.

Statement of Purpose The purpose of the Center for Ecozoic Studies (CES) is to contribute through education, research and the arts to the realization of the Ecozoic Era. CES emphasizes critical reflection, story and shared dream experience as ways of enabling the creative advance needed to bring into being a new mode of human civilizational presence, and also discerning the practical steps leading toward the Ecozoic. CES is dedicated to the principle that we live in a meaningful, continuously evolving universe. In such a universe, the Ecozoic Era is a process concept—not something to be arrived at, but rather something ever to be created. Its hallmarks are inclusiveness, interdependence, and appreciation; communion, differentia- tion, and subjectivity; and sensitivity, adaptability, and responsibility. It crucially involves more just and cooperative relationships among humans, as well as transformed relationships of humans with the larger natural world. Thomas Berry’s work offers key insights into how we get to an ecological society. Gardens of the Universe: A Cosmic Chronicle By Tom Keevey (Dedicated to Thomas Berry on his 92nd birthday, November 9th, 2006, His works inspired by childhood memories of a meadow garden.) A divine garden, infinite grandeur and mystery Pulsing, throbbing with blazing lights, caves of darkness. A cosmic forest, unending landscape, awesome liturgy The universe, scriptures of God’s great wilderness. In a single moment, life begins, continuous journey of diversity Dark matter, mystical night so pregnant, nurturing, a bed of fertility. Stars and planets, galaxies exploding, stretching, expanding From one to many, sacrifice and compassion, all communing. A small garden of the cosmos, tiny, blue, floating in a galaxy The Milky Way, unique, bursting with life, Gaia by name Billions of years becoming, composing its own symphony The Earth, such a marvel to gaze upon, God’s singular flame. Spending seven long days, tilling the soil, still evolving Cool nights, stories, all creatures with Eve and Adam, praising. The Lord of the universe, delighting in his beautiful garden Sabbath celebration, God and creation rest, all sing Amen. Truly, a home for all life forms, a place of beauty and wonder Mighty oceans, restless streams, winds with no boundaries, fertile pasture Fire brightens the day, distant lights the night sky, ever so somber Mountains with memories, silent stones and fields, a Eucharist of nature. Years pass, Wisdom Incarnate enters the garden, walks the earth Reading the book of creation, teaching the way, truth, new birth Seeding it with goodness, love and compassion, mystical forces With stories, preaching and healing, a gospel of resources. Disciples listen, jealousy grows, rulers and religion conspire Eliminate this teacher, destroy, uproot, tear down, crucify Captured, tortured, death on a cross, planted deep, reaching high to inspire A cosmic tree, now shading creation, shows the way, all glorify. Risen Lord—a stranger, gardener, pilgrim—recognized in bread and wine A divine word to believers, echoing God’s love, mystical vine Calling men and women to cultivate, companionate the land Creation renewed, the Spirit’s presence in every grain of sand. Yet his passion continues, earth now bears a heavy cross The same greed extinguishes life, how regain the loss? Suffering, pollution and disease, all for human gain. How remember what we’ve dismembered? Can Earth dream again? 1 The Ecozoic Reader Vol. 4, No. 4 During winter’s sleep of long nights and blankets of white Frozen days, stillness, nature sleeps, the soil revives. Spring, metaphor of hope and peace for all, longer light The vigil ends, music fills the air, growth arrives. Our garden mirrors the cosmic story, cultivating earth’s life Chanting birds, silent fish, quiet prayer, all companions, little strife. Flowers and trees, herbs and fruits, surround a bubbling pond A place of belonging, of beauty, reaching beyond. The garden’s presence fills the air, a world beyond compare It welcomes soft rain, feels the sun, offers shelter, bears many scars, It sings a melody of death and life, songs for daily prayer, When the symphony’s over, garden keepers we, will rest among the stars. At last, beholding with awe the divine in all creation No space or time, peeking through thin places, a cosmic vision. An old friend appears, takes our hand, once a dreamer in Earth’s meadow His “Great Work” coming to completion, now like Dante, leads us to the rose, the rainbow. Then, we meet the Eternal Gardener, goodness and love, constantly birthing The wild Universe, a garden of wonder and peace, infinite wandering. 2 Barney, author of Global 2000, offers the keys of values education, dynamic modeling and vision.

  • The Oil Depletion Protocol
    1 THE RIMINI PROTOCOL an Oil Depletion Protocol ~ Heading Off Economic Chaos and Political Conflict During the Second Half of the Age of Oil As proposed at the 2003 Pio Manzu Conference, and to be the central theme of the next Pio Manzu Conference, Rimini, Italy on October 28-30, 2005 2 INTRODUCTION Soaring oil prices have drawn attention to the issue of the relative supply and demand for crude oil, which is the World’s premier fuel, having a central place in the modern economy. Knowledge of petroleum geology has made great advances in recent years, such that the conditions under which this resource was formed in Nature are now well understood. In fact, it transpires that the bulk of the World’s current production comes from deposits formed in two brief and exceptional epochs, 90 and 150 million years ago. This fact alone tells us that oil is a finite resource, which in turn means that it is subject to depletion. People ask: Are we running out of oil ? The simple answer is: Yes, we started doing that when we produced the first barrel. But Running Out is not the main issue as the resource will not be finally exhausted for very many years. The much more relevant question is: When will production reach a peak and begin to decline? Depletion: Growth, Peak and Decline Much debate and study has focused on the calculation of the date of peak, but this too misses the main point. It is not an isolated or pronounced peak but merely the highest point on a long and gentle production curve.

  • Arthur C. Clarke Fred Körper, SFGH-Treffen 21.02.2009
    SF-Klassiker: Arthur C. Clarke Fred Körper, SFGH-Treffen 21.02.2009 Sir Arthur Charles Clarke (* 16. Dezember 1917 in Minehead, Somerset, England; † 19. März 2008 in Colombo, Sri Lanka) war ein britischer Science-Fiction-Schriftsteller. Durch den Film 2001: Odyssee im Weltraum von Stanley Kubrick, der auf einer Kurzgeschichte Clarkes beruht und dessen Drehbuch Clarke gemeinsam mit Kubrick schrieb, wurde er auch außerhalb der Science-Fiction-Szene bekannt. Clarke gilt als Visionär neuer Technologien, die er außer in Science-Fiction-Romanen und Kurzgeschichten auch in wissenschaftlichen Artikeln beschrieb. 1 Leben 2 Werk 2.1 Romane 2.2 Erzählungen 2.3 Kurzgeschichtensammlungen 2.4 Gemeinschaftswerke 2.5 Autobiografisches 3 Verfilmungen (Auswahl) 4 Clarke'sche Gesetze Leben Arthur Charles Clarke wurde am 16.Dezember 1917 in der Grafschaft Somerset im Südwesten Englands geboren. Von 1927 bis 1936 besuchte er die Huish's Grammar School in Taunton/Somerset und las bereits als Jugendlicher die Werke von H. G. Wells und Olaf Stapledon. Da Clarke aus finanziellen Gründen ein Studium zunächst verwehr blieb, ging er 1936 nach London und arbeitete dort zunächst im Staatsdienst. 1941 trat er als Radaroffizier in die Royal Air Force ein. Diese Erfahrungen liegen dem Roman Glide Path zugrunde. Seine Idee, geostationäre Satelliten zur technischen Kommunikation zu nutzen, die er 1945 unter dem Titel Extra-terrestrial Relays – Can Rocket Stations Give World- wide Radio Coverage? in der wissenschaftlichen Zeitschrift Wireless World veröffentlichte, erlebte 1964 mit dem Saetelliten Syncom 3 ihre Verwirklichung. Ihm zu Ehren wird daher der geostationäre Orbit auch „Clarke Belt“ beziehungsweise „Clarke Orbit“ genannt. Von 1946 bis 1948 studierte er Mathematik und Physik am Londoner King's College.

Hardin’s paper will be in looked at in view of both anthropogenic global warming and peak oil and some of the solutions he posed for the ‘‘population problem’’ applied to the post-peak era. Possible solutions are compared with the Kyoto Protocol for global warming and the Rimini Protocol for peak oil. A carbon-indexed, universal tax on non-renewable energy resources ‘Unitax’ is mooted as a longer-term possibility to overcoming both global warming and the financing of post-peak oil problems. Alas, the process of dealing with global warming and peak oil seems to be falling into the ‘‘no technical solution’’ category that Hardin identified for population. r 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

To assist in the detection of spurious and the correction of inaccu- rate pedigrees, is one of the purposes of the present publication, in which respect the first Volume has been of acknowledged utility. The two together, it is hoped, will form a comprehensive and tole- rably correct Register of Pedigrees. It will be observed that some of the Mares which appeared in the last Supplement (whereof this is a republication and continua- tion) stand as they did there, i. e. without any additions to their produce since 1813 or 1814. — It has been ascertained that several of them were about that time sold by public auction, and as all attempts to trace them have failed, the probability is that they have either been converted to some other use, or been sent abroad. If any proof were wanting of the superiority of the English breed of horses over that of every other country, it might be found in the avidity with which they are sought by Foreigners. The exportation of them to Russia, France, Germany, etc. for the last five years has been so considerable, as to render it an object of some importance in a commercial point of view.

  • N93-13593 Lunar Optical Telescopes: an Historical Perspective
    N93-13593 LUNAR OPTICAL TELESCOPES: AN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Stewart W. Johnson BDM International, Inc. 1801 Randolph Road, S.E. Albuquerque, NM 87106 Abstract There is a long history of thought and discussion on the possibilities of astronomical observatories on the Moon. Numerous ideas have been suggested and a variety of concepts have resulted for lunar optical telescopes. This paper reviews some of the ideas and efforts of individuals and working groups including Hershel, Clarke, Malina, Herbig, and Hess; working groups of the 1960s; and recent initiatives of Burke, Burns, and others. The enhanced technologies of the 1980s and 1990s can make past dreams of lunar observatories come to reality in the 21st century. That an astronomical observatory on the Moon offers the potential advantages of emplacement on a stable platform in an environment unencumbered by atmospheric obscurations has long been recognized. The National Academy of Sciences report, Astronomy and Astroohvsics for the 1980s, listed seven promising programs for the 1990s and beyond. All of these programs involved space-based observations and one of the programs was entitled Astronomical Observations on the Moon. The report states: The Moon offers certain decisive advantages as a base for astronomical observations. In particular the far side of the Moon provides protection from the radio interference from sources on or near Earth and therefore has great potential for radio astronomy.
