Harry asks the question ... How Crazy Can We Get?

We live on a planet that is composed almost entirely of food, and this needs to be understood.

Firstly, in the meantime, some two billion of us are starving - one-sixth of our human family – while the rest of us are fighting or competing with each other, basically for world resources. We are all facing possible, even probable, catastrophes and doom as we get seized up in an absurd global economic crisis.

It’s not to do with money, it’s money versus wealth, and wealth is a matter of world resources.

Let me explain: The existence of all life is to do with sunlight and the miracle of photosynthesis –whereby minerals are changed into plantlife – using water containing dissolved minerals (elements) and is triggered by the carbon from the air. Plants are the food for all animal life, including humans, either directly, or indirectly by eating each other.

Thus plantlife being organic life provides for all other organic life. They feed on the inorganic minerals dissolved in water. Which is why we water pot plants.

Almost our entire God-given planet is made of rock – compacted minerals, which started as dust when the Earth was formed – and three quarters of it became covered by water down to seven mile deep. When the rocks are reduced to a fine powder, usually by a variety of natural means, the minerals dissolve in the water. The air is mainly composed of oxygen, nitrogen and carbon.

Between the two of them, the oceans and the atmosphere, they contain all the elements necessary for all life on Earth in absolutely vast amounts. These are continuously cyclic as the carbon dioxide taken from the air becomes around 50% of all living things as organic carbon. The oxygen is released in the process. When organic life dies, dissolves or decays the carbon then returns to the air as carbon dioxide again, continuously.

There was a time when this process naturally covered nearly all the surface of our planet, with the phytoplankton (of some 20,000 micro-algae) living on the sea-nutrients, being the major food source for the vast marine populations – as it still does.

With the land area however, some 29% of the total surface, was once covered with plantlife from the largest as trees, through all other plants right down to micro-algae, the smallest, and is now largely barren wasteland.

So the process of having a beautiful world for all of humankind appears to be pretty obvious.

Now I am a simple man as part of a sophisticated society that considers itself to be an intelligent species. So why is our manmade world in such a mess everywhere one looks? Crazy. Perhaps it is because we lack a united spiritual dimension. Maybe it is due to human aggression, of avarice, of ego-trippers or that we have not developed far enough yet. I don’t know.

But I do know that a small group of us, voluntarily and self-funded, with forty years of world concern, has found a way whereby our whole world can feed ourselves for ever using just seawater, fresh water and air in harmony with sunlight and photosynthesis. At Global Eco we have ten very small trials which seem to prove it and we are prototyping various soil-less systems for plant cultivation.

This stems from Dr Maynard Murray in America, who from 1972, cultivated a wide variety of highly nutritious plant foods just using ocean water, fresh water and air. He documented it in 1978 and had a few copies printed. When he died his wife burnt all his papers.

This was at the time when the farming world was persuaded to use fossil fuel based chemical fertilisers, on sterile fields which had become factory floors, to which they added just three to eight chemical elements. Whereas Dr Murray was using about one hundred natural elements to give superb foods for health and longevity. Not like our basically sick societies with deficiency diseases and obesity propped up by numerable pharmaceuticals.

However, as soon as our world accepts and adopts the understanding in this outline all these problems can be solved:

Namely those of:

The global financial crisis;

World hunger and starvation;

Rampant ill health in the west;

The power/energy and fuel crisis;

The massive unproductive wastelands, and deserts.

Also solving global warming and climate change within a few years with similar methods.

We can have foods, fuels, natural fertilisers, fibres, natural medicines, materials, rubbers and plastics and organic chemicals seemingly without limit for hundreds of times our present population – or have the equivalent in real wealth, not money.

All we need is the will and The Will.
