Stewardship and custodial response to the laws, the land, all creatures.. is intrinsic to life.

If you and I agree to play a game of tennis, we know that there is a set of rules, plus an ecology — a tennis court, tennis racket, tennis balls — that we also agree to.

Universe — the whole of existence — has a set of rules. If you drop your favourite glass onto a cement floor, no matter how much money or power you have, no matter your culture, size, age… the result will be the same.

Humans, in the slow process of ‘growing up’ and inhabiting our planet, have dismissed these laws of Universe. We want the game of tennis, but each of us want it to be played by our individual rules. Which of course does not work. Chaos, fighting, bullying, exploitation, win at all costs…all consequences.

(I would like to honour cultures that existed respectfully within these laws and rules for thousands of years.)

The future child will be born and educated to the laws of Universe. Inherent in that education will also be the teaching that as a right of our birth we have responsibilities towards the active maintenance of the laws of Universe.

I do propose that to be born, implies responsibility to.

Stewardship and custodial response to the laws, the land, all creatures.. is intrinsic to life.

When we create communities, be that a family home, a community action group, an enterprise, a global business…the laws of Universe do not disappear. It is not for us to replace them with human constructed ones.

Rather it is for us to create the ecology of our enterprise in respect to. And like a game of tennis, be clear…this is the game we are playing. If you do not like the rules of the game, the ecology under which we play, no worries, find another game.

But if you show up at our game and disrespect that which we hold as sacred…namely the laws that govern us all, like gravity, synergy, precession, unity is plural at minimum two, clean communication…then you will be invited to leave and find your own game.

If you are interested in learning more about how to apply the laws of Universe to enterprise design and the creation of communities, then do consider the next Syntropic Enterprise Masterclass.
