Head of the Blog: With the arrival of Peak Oil, the curtain has closed on Act 1 of the drama Petroleum Man. What will happen in Act 2? Chekhov said, « If there’s a gun on the wall at the beginning of the play, by the end it must go off. » In the world’s nuclear arsenal are many guns on the wall. If life copies art, will there be an Act 3 in which the players, having learned their lesson the hard way, live sustainably? To explore these and other questions… FTW’s Act 2 Blog. Read, comment, take heart! Orkin

About: From The Wilderness is about the publication of documented truth and the letting go of fear through education.

FEAR happens when we really don’t understand something and when we project, either consciously or subconsciously, into the future. The only real moment is NOW. We become FEARFUL of the unknown and of the things that we don’t want to face. When we don’t face problems NOW we guarantee that they will be worse – LATER.

Carl Jung wrote: « The foundation of all mental illness is the unwillingness to experience legitimate suffering. »

The best way to stop living in fear is to educate oneself…arm the mind, so to speak. The most spiritual way to deal with fear is to approach it rather than run from it. It is from this commitment that true progress is made and that solutions unseen become solutions made real.

We provide you with well-researched data and material presented in various formats. We DO NOT operate from any fixed ideological, political or economic viewpoint. We present the data — what you do with it is up to you.

“These people mainly did not want to hear about women’s equality to man and children’s rights,” says, Enaney Kibret, a member of the community engaged in guiding visitors around the community. “They are also upset because we work everyday regardless of holiday and Sundays, which they don’t because of their faith. But, our faith is based on working hard for the betterment of our lives and supporting people who deserve our help,” she says. (full text).

Awra Amba is an Ethiopian community comprises about 400 people residing together 62 kilometres away from Bahir Dar on the way to Debretabor … In the 1980s, Nuru launched the egalitarian society he dreamed of with 19 other people who adopted his vision. Today Awra Amba has some 400 members and is lauded as a model to alleviate poverty and promote gender equality in a country where women generally hold a subservient status to men.

• (a) The strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms;
• (b) The full development of the human personality and the sense of its dignity;
• (c) The promotion of understanding, respect, gender equality, and friendship among all nations, indigenous peoples and racial, national, ethnic, religious and linguistic groups;
• (d) The enabling of all persons to participate effectively in a free society;
• (e) The furtherance of the activities of the United Nations for the Maintenance of Peace. » (Adapted from the Plan of Action of the United Nations Decade for Human Rights Education (1995-2004), paragraph 2).

During this Decade, the UN is urging and supporting all member states to make knowledge about human rights available to everyone through both the formal school system and through popular and adult education.

About sharing; Poverty causes the needless deaths of 50,000 people each day, and international aid continues to fail the poorest nations. Even if the Millennium Development Goal for halving extreme poverty is achieved, 900 million people will still be living on less than one dollar a day in 2015. Basic needs are not being secured for the majority world by neoliberal economics despite a 60 year old commitment to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
