Avoiding Global Crisis - The Termination of Life on Earth

It is a universal principle that all systems spontaneously righten, or balance, themselves. The rain falling from the sky will naturally seek out the most stable arrangement - it won't sit around too long on the peak of the hill! Of course, this process can be interfered - in the case of water you can dam the river. Right now, the various power structures in the human world are actually preventing the self-organizing, self-rightening and self-correcting process of humankind from happening. If that blockage continues, a huge imbalance will build and eventually destroy this place.

This imbalance can be readily seen in the pollution and degradation of the environment leading to global warming, sea-level rise, and eventually forced mass migration and subsequent massive loss of quality of life, starvation, and inevitable war. It can be seen in the huge and unsustainable build up of debt and debt obligations such as pension rights, in especially the ‘developed' world. It can be seen in the end of cheap oil: the irreplaceable energy source that has driven our affluence. It can be seen in the vast numbers of species that have been made extinct in this time. The planet, the human world, is simply out of control, and the forces that would naturally bring things into a benign balance are being suppressed and thwarted by current human society and governments.

This time is dark - but people do not see the darkness. Or some do, but they can't figure out what to do about it - the problem seems too ‘big'. Adi Da, the author of Not-Two IS Peace proposes a new structure - the Global Cooperative Forum, to re-civilize the world. The Global Cooperative Forum is specifically NOT some kind of chaotic uprising, rather, it is the intelligent and orderly representation of everybody brought together to achieve positive results.

The status quo is leading to globally terminal destruction. To stop that requires an immense force: the force of everybody all at once.
