They hope to educate and inspire a shift in consciousness that leads to a new way of being that helps us live in harmony with each other and the biosphere. 

In our conversation with Chris (part 1) we talk about our most important possessions, our stories and how to question and change them, the three pillars of activism, the space between old and new stories, our personal crisis, the differences between ourselves and animal kingdom, the bliss of ‘not knowing’ and mystery, escapism in new stories, inspirations, transformation, green-washing, imagining a new world, the new era and potential of the internet, the essence of humor, our beliefs on media stories, capitalism, local and globalism, hierarchy, inequality, natures examples, eco-villages, utopia, the understanding of empathy, and a beautiful story about the friendship between a man and an...octopus). 

We also hear Chris talk about Sustainable Human latest’s video on the effects of ‘celebrity culture’. All and all one thing becomes very clear: Nobody can claim they know what the future is about, and it’s okay to not know. Still in this ‘not knowing’ Chris senses Humanity is now able to experience an incredible era of connection.

On Richard his Linked profile it says > ‘Fighting hard to maintain mental clarity in a mire of institutionalised misinformation’

We had a wonderful conversation about the possibilities of living in a world without (the need of) money. As systems are falling apart there is a growing awareness that we can organize matters differently and better. But what are our fears and hopes? And how do we organize most effectively, efficiently, and equitably distribute our abundant global resources, so that everyone’s needs are met, without the consideration of financial, or other means?

On LinkedIN I read an endorsement that says:

“Bruce works with massive passion, drive and intellect toward the formation of "THE BRIDGE FROM NOW TO EVERYWHERE.. What we are doing is -- building a bridge from the absolute to the local -- from "The One" to -- everything in particular -- and this ain't so easy to do. And why are we doing this? Because this is the matrix of absolute wholeness that can guide individual human beings and all of civilization into a collective process that can actually work."

In this amazing interview we talked about co-creating new systems with feedback-loops that work just like weather stations, how to organize a cybernetic revolution, filosophy, how do we co-create in balance with each other globally, and a lot more mystical and profound topics. It was a delight listening to Bruce his wisdom and holistic point a views :-).

ABOUBAKRE HARAKAT is a board-member of RBE UNITED, a social networking hub for technical experts, artists and advocates of Natural-law Resource-Based Economic systems.  Their purpose is to facilitate the development, implementation and transition towards a Resource-Based Economic system by developing the technical tools, processes and mental capital necessary to achieve our aims. 

They are welcoming people from all over the world to apply for membership within our community and join technical project teams to help build a path towards a global, holistic system that would override the current socio-political system that runs the world. To achieve such bold objectives, they intend to progress by operating based on a pragmatic project management plan that highlights feasible milestones to target. 

"By working together in an open-source manner towards achievable goals, we can slowly build the foundation of a new socioeconomic system capable of replacing the older system of hyper-capitalism through a gradual transition.   When we look around us today, we find the economic and governance systems that we’ve relied on to protect us and economize our world have instead become dangerous machinations of ecological destruction that have done little in the way of insuring public health and instead have reduced the prospect for upcoming and future generation into a nightmare of malfeasance, environmental destruction, social decline and wars to benefit the economic interest of a small population of economic elites, political elites and powerful special interest groups. Our attempt with RBE United is to unify all the negatively affected members of our society and galvanize them towards our mutual objective."

MICHAEL E.V. KNIGHT is an Activist at Build a Hybrid RBE Community Now. He is a Humanitarian, Entrepreneur, Real Estate Investor working for a FREE world for EVERYONE.

In this interview we are talking about making the transition to a Resource Based Economy using a Hybrid Money/No Money lifestyle. While we are living the Hybrid lifestyle we are starving the beast and moving closer to a Resource Based Economy.  It is simple to transition/bridge over to RBE by using a Hybrid Money/No Money system/lifestyle, BUT in order for it to work it requires ALL of us doing things TOGETHER.
