I focus my experiencing and awareness on being
"a   pioneer of  Evolution  in  learning  to  feel":
I let my Body vibrate and my Heart 'womb'
pain, shame, fear, boredom, powerlessness,
so feelings can >heal >guide>fulfill>evolve,
and ~~~ offer ~~~"goldmines"~~~ to us all!!
"I want you to feel everything, every little thing!"

Fear [pp33] didn't let me sleep.
I breathed like mad
I yawned to tears
I "ring-muscled" like hell
and finally got up on my feet
and danced 'sama'a' like a wild witch,
counting 180 spins in 180 seconds.

Then I had an insight~~
Now it was excitement,
that   kept   me  awake,
breathing, feeling, alive.

There it is again: the fear of being seen as crazy For how come that the few chosen people I try to ignite with my vision, stay numb? That Joshua Bloom and 800 USA-rabbis fight for the Bedouins' rights instead of seeing a message in their plight: that Abraham, the desert host, our common father, shows us the way today?

I tremble thinking of the TV report about the "Hilltop-Youth" : the very photo in Hebrew Wiki makes young dreamers like I was, want to be a vital part, just like the youth of the thirties in Germany was lured into the Nazi ideology by singing, life-style, values, goals. -Oh may they, instead, dream about "Ohalot" on desert hills!

Yusuf [40] said something in a poetic way,

about Rachel in the deep whirl of the ocean.
We were sitting at a dry Nabatean cistern.
At home, at night, I opened a TV movie:
"The girl on the ocean floor", ending with
the very old couple Lotte&Hans Hass kissing

RECALLING   experiences     towards the MANIFESTATION     of the MOBILE DESERT HOSTING ECONOMY


from April 19, 2004:
"The Mount Ararat Evolution"
or
"Bedouin Economic Independence and Cultural Pride"
or
"The Desert People around the Dead Sea:
Pioneers of a
Mobile Desert Hosting Economy?"

The first stage of Self-Determination is usually the struggle against the Victimizer or Oppressor.
My friend's, Nuri Eloqbi's just now published book about the struggle of his tribe, demonstrates this stage.
What I envision and strive for, is the Desert People's true Self-Empowerment and creative Self-Determination.


I'm "talking business" now.
Since Bedouin can no longer make a living by raising sheep, goats and camels,
and since governments hate their uncontrollable roaming around in the desert,
and are just about to wipe out the last, already decrepit, remnants of Ismael,
it is high time to demonstrate to both, what is our common interest:

To create a Desert Hosting Economy,
which will guard what it wants to sell:
the two-fold treasure of the Desert:
its SPS or Space, Purity & Silence,
and the personal hospitality of the Desert People.

Bedouins and authorities alike will now open their eyes:

The Desert People's value of hosting their guests for free,
will be replaced by the value of integrating Wo/Man in Nature.
.
The Government's panic of uncontrollable citizens
and of Ismael occupying the lands "meant for Israel",
will be replaced by Ben-Gurion's dream of the blossoming desert.
But mind you!!!!!!
what needs to blossom is not the desert as if it were deserted land,
what needs to blossom and can blossom in the Desert,
is the deserted soul, the soul of Wo/Man,
[not "prekhat hashmamah" but "prechat haneshamah ba-shmamah"]

This can happen only,
if "Hosting in the Desert" will be compatible with the Desert's treasures,
the SPS or Space, Purity and Silence
and the personal hospitality of people,
who are not someone's employees like in a hotel,
and not busy with other occupations like those who rent out "Zimmers",
but who genuinely enjoy to meet other human beings and to serve them.

And as to the seemingly opposing interest of the Nature Reserves Authority,
listen to this episode:
Last year a group of people dried out in Nakhal Mishmar.
Only one person made it to a Bedouin encampment
from where water was sent to the almost dying people.
An Israeli officer said to the ranger of the new Reserve,
from which those Bedouin shepherds and animals had been recently banned:
"If you would let the Desert people live in the desert as a part of nature,
they would not only guard nature, because this is their interest,
they would be there for the enjoyment and help of the hikers."


My own tent among the tents of the first six guests,
who came to Sinai for a week to the first "Rihlah",
and its hosts: Ahmed, Abdul-Aziz and Mohammed.
My tent was provided with a small solar panel,
a battery, a 12 V 10 Watt bulb and a 12 V 20 Watt fan.

In Sinai 1996, I had developed the third generation tent.
The fourth and optimal generation was developed at the Red Sea.
In 1998 both I and Tamir lived in two of the Four-Nation-Tents,
amidst Metzoqee Dragot, a kind of youthhostel above the Dead Sea

Dec. 26, 2013:
on the page created in April 2004
I describe what I imagined as the process of realization.
I was wrong and must rethink (see below Freidg's slogan!).
Not always does evolution occur in 'small steps'.
Sometimes there has to be a quantum-leap.
This means,
the an governmental authority,
in this case the INPA, the Israel Nature and Park Authority,
has to propose the new paradigm, the new concept
of "Mobile Desert Hosting Enterprises",
and - after some time of R&D models -
to open Israel's (and Palestine's) Desert
to Nature-Compatible Economy!


More and more Desert People will see their chance
to make a living, not by changing their life-style, but by relying on it,
they will strengthen their self-esteem, not by imitating civilization,
but by offering to balance civilization,
they will empower themselves and become once more Ismael,
independant and proud, yet welcoming and caring
like his/our father Abraham, the Bedouin.


RECALLING   experiences     towards the MANIFESTATION     of the MOBILE DESERT HOSTING ECONOMY

from April 26, 2004:

THE BREAKTHROUGH OF NOAH'S DEAD SEA VISION:
"The Mount Ararat Evolution"

April 2004 - updated on January 27, 2009:
though the breakthrough - in which I rejoiced on this page - happened only in my vision,
..... the prophecy on this page might still come true one day.

Twenty years ago I began to follow Abraham's footsteps - physically.
Now I understand, why I had to do this in order to realize my dream:
to redeem myself and everyone around me from victimhood ["qorbanut"]
and to grow towards self-acceptance and self-determination ["ribbonut"].

Empowering the self-victimizing, conflicting nations in the Holy Land
will start with the self-empowerment of Ismael, Abraham's firstborn,
i.e. the indigenous, transnational, desert people around the Salt Sea:
the Bedouin will teach us peace between adam and adamah ["earth"].


Back to my first days in Tarabin, Sinai:

On Shabbat, the sixth of July 1996,
my small pocket calender mentions gladly:
"Freidj and I found a place for the pyramidion
in Wadi M'khaash."

I also mention a sentence Freidj said,
which I made my slogan for Sinai:
"If it's wrong - we go back,
if it's right - we go forward."

Both, Freidj and Auaad listed many wadis with water.
One of them - Audai-il-badan- I went to explore myself.
~~~
How strange, that the 'appointed" wadi, Wadi-at-Taulah,
turned out to be waterless~~~
The design of the four triangle coat of the tent,
now a double tent of black and silvery netshade.
It was Uri, my son-in-love, who figured out,
how I could save material and stitching time.

 
"Rihlah" was coined by Um-Saaleh, whom I met in Tarabin.

Auwaad, her senile husband, was bothering but also helpful.
His wife had a sense of humor, which raised my sad spirits,
and it was with laughter, that she made the connection
between my name Rachel - Hebrew for "mother sheep"
and "Rihlah", the Arabic word for "wandering".

Freidj accepted my general idea and liked my tents,
of which I showed him the design,
but he cast away my sophisticated model
of the central tent for cooking, dining, meeting:
"We'll use a beit-sha'ar, literally a "Hair-House",
he ordered.
"A traditional Bedouin tent
will help to win over local people
to become owners and hosts
of such hosting enterprises!"
A hair-tent is rectangular and made of goat and sheep hair
which can be opened and closed towards the air from all sides.

Envisioning on Dec. 26, 2013
I think it will be alright,
that Bedouin hosts in their Rihlaat {Pyramidions)
will have a "Hair-Houses" instead of a "Mishkans".
What I called "Pyramidion" in English, "Rihlah" in Arabic and "Ohalah" in Hebrew,
refers to a mobile hosting enterprise in the desert based on 1 to 12 pyramidal tents.
[See the nine pages of Desert Vision>The Pyramidion or the Future]
[read more on that page]

 

RECALLING   experiences     towards the MANIFESTATION     of the MOBILE DESERT HOSTING ECONOMY
[still from "Breakthrough of Noah's DeadSea Vision" 2004]

Following the theft of my solar system by Bedouins on March 18, 2004
and uncountable "accidental" encounters with Bedouins since then,
I came to understand,
that nothing of my DeadSea Vision will materialize,
and "PEACE" will not have the tiniest foothold in these desert countries ,
until the indigenous Desert People, the Bedouins,
will awaken as the pioneers of a Desert Hosting Economy in the land if Ismael-Israel.
Only if "Ismael",
the first son of our common mythical father Abraham,
born of an Egyptian slave woman, Hagar,
expelled into the desert   t w i c e   
by our, Israel's mother, Abraham's legal wife, Sarah,
will base their independence, their self-determination and self-respect,
on a new Desert Hosting Economy,
only then will the other peoples in the area, foremost Jews and Palestinians, follow suit:
they will open their eyes and see,
how they have been escaping into the direction of victimhood,
and how they must finally turn around 180 degrees
and head in the direction of self-determination.

 

"There will be no peace here,

until we, the Jews, will become the guests of the Desert People,

and let them connect us to the earth (adamah).

Once we shall be dependent on them, they will feel equal

and then they might forgive us the expulsion of Ismael."

This was said by the first "Dreamer Trainee", Hagai Lev,
after a series of promising as well as threatening encounters with Bedouins during his training week.

It brought back to me the great vision,
which dawned on me
during my work in Sinai in 1996:


"Do you want to train

in becoming the owners and hosts

of a mobile desert hosting enterprise?"

I asked several young Bedouins
from the El-Arish Mediterranian area,
who wasted their lives away on the Red Sea,
smoking grass from morning to night.

They wanted very much.
I understood,
that this was the time to turn the train around:
people who still live in nature,
and whose sons escape into the cities and get lost there,
will soon understand,
that it's the city that wants to escape to them.
They only have to prepare themselves to host them.

Ahmed Sawarka and Abdul-Aziz, the Bedouins -
which I trained to become owners and hosts of a Rihlah



RECALLING   experiences     towards the MANIFESTATION     of the MOBILE DESERT HOSTING ECONOMY

also from "Breakthrough of Noah's DeadSea Vision" 2004

A Story
as it occurred in the Zealots' Valley nar Arad,
on the Day of Independence/Al-Nkba, on April 26, 2004

I went back to the women's tent to get my sleeping bag.
Fatmeh blessed me for having regained my stolen laptop.
I wanted to leave rightaway, but surrendered to her plea:
"It is a shame for a Bedouin to let a guest go without tea and bread."

While sipping my tea, I looked into her eyes and said;

"Fatmeh! You know, that they don't want me here,
because I let my things be stolen.
They say, they can't take responsibility for me,
and that I should go back to where I came from.
But God is telling me, that I have to be near you, somewhere around you.
So let me tell you now the whole truth, why I came to you two days ago:

"I want your men to not be dependent on the Jews.
I want your women to not be closed-in in their shacks.
I want you both, men and women, to work together on hosting guests,
and doing so for money, in tents that can be moved,
while you yourselves will live in pretty little houses,
in one of all these cosy little wadis around here.
I want you to be independent in making a living
and proud of being the pioneers of a desert hosting economy."

My words poured out as if channeled, and so did her response.
Suddenly there was no problem of language
[just like during the investigation in the Egyptian prison in 1995..]
After every sentence she nodded with excitement
and when I ended, she said enthusiastically:

"Yes, yes, Maryam! This is what we want!
You know we are praying five times a day,
and we always pray for this to come true.
This very morning I prayed for it,
that we may be less dependent (mit'alqeen) on the Jews,
that we, too, may have independence ('istiqlaal),
that our livelihood and living conditions may improve,
for until now our condition has been very weak."

Fatmeh can neither read nor write,
how would she know words like "mit'alqeen" and "'istiqlaal"?
I embraced her with all my yearning.
It was the Day of Israel's Independence 2004!
May independent Israel soon enjoy the gifts of independent Bedouins in Israel's desert.


 


In 1972 or so we stayed for some days with friends
in the northern town Nahariya.
20 years later these people suddenly came to see me
in "Succah in the Desert".
When they saw what I had created there,
they told me about two amazing paintings
in their guestbook,
done by Immanuel (9) and his sister (then 7).
They went home and sent me photos.
These fell into my hands 2 weeks ago,
exactly when I moved towards "ARARAT"


Immanuel:
"The Bedouin returns
from the waterfall
to the tent,
and the child waits for him."

The tiny child can be seen on the bottom
behind the quite genuine Bedouin tent.

Why did he have this desert vision in Naharia?

What fell into my hands too,
was a quotation from a channeling,
which I was sent in 1988,
without having asked for it.
At that time it was one of the 3 events
which pushed me towards the creation
of what soon became "Succah in the Desert",
the scientific model of a Desert Hosting Economy which guards what it wants to sell.

Will I now learn to not compose the puzzle myself, but empower others to put the pieces together?

I ask this same question
on December 26, 2013!!

Will I now learn to not compose the puzzle myself,
but empower others to put the pieces together?

 

Addition to "PONDERING" on Dec. 26, 2013

When I told Immanuel in 19984
(he was 21 then and a pilot in the Israeli Air-Force),
that I would buy a bus and turn it into a mobile home,
he said: "Imma, this time I'm totally against your idea!"
I said: "I understand you..
But would you still take over the carpentry in that bus?"

Instead of "winning him over",
I had given him a challenge
and he accepted.
It was like a revelation
which revealed him to himself
a revelation that made relevant for him,
what I had proposed to him.

This is what I have to do:
to make what I propose relevant to people,
not petition them
about what I myself want for them
[leave alone about what I want for myself]
and be it the highest goal
which I desire for them.
PONDERING on Dec. 22, 2013,
recorded during my travel from Shoham to Arad



In the 2nd line there should be a "not".
But I won't correct the text of this .gif!
I desire to see a sign in what's missing,
a sign, that this "not" is not an option!
(Hebrew texts must first be written outside this website
and then photographed and inserted in an image-format)


ENVISIONING

Among the many goals of the
Mobile Desert Hosting Economy
I desire to constantly radiate the main goal:
to give a new vision to young as well as to old people,
something to dream about,
something to "draw out the creative powers of people",
of   a l l    the people and peoples in the Middle East!

I saw a TV report about a "wedding" of the "Hilltop-Youth" in the Occupied Territories,
and despite all I knew about them, I was shocked,
how much hatred and intended violence was demonstrated unabashedly.
I'm more certain than ever, that part of this horrid ideology and behavior
results from the emptiness of the young people, who have no vision, no dream.
I once more quote Rami Haruvi, who screamed at his father, one of the founders of Naharia:
"You [Zionists] have not left us anything to do!"
EXPLORING

Not only the Israel Nature and Park Authority
should be interested,
but also some Ministries:
Environmental Protection Ministry

Ministry for the Development of the Negev and Galilee

Tourism Ministry

the Ministry for Education

Economic Strategy Ministry

I've not yet found out,
what Ministry "takes care" of the Bedouin


the next morning I discovered on a Haredi-news-website. [it will not be there tomorrow]
an audio about this "wedding" attached to this image of "the   S w o r d s  -Dance".....
Later I came across my remark about the "infamous settlers" and added - today:
Perhaps the "infamy" will transform into "fame"?


December 27, 2013

Snow that makes all citizens of Jerusalem equal for some days -

Zecharia 8:4,5 -listen to my song

RECALLING
from "Nuri Al-Okbi"
What I,
Christa-Rachel Bat-Adam,
envision for Ismael,
the archetype of a Bedouin
like his and Isaac's father Abraham

is in radical contrast to the approach of Israel's Government
[see a horrid quote there]
........
my motivation for "Noah's Shore Peace Project" and the "Mount Ararat Re-Creation",
as has been all my work since the quantum-leap of the "Partnership" Concept in 1974,
is not the fight for "Human Rights" ,
for who am I, daughter of the murdering nation,
that I would preach morality to the murdered nation,
but the understanding
of true Self-Interest,
the development of genuine Self-Esteem,
and the application of Self-Determination

ENVISIONING

If those Bedouins
who want to walk in the footsteps
of "Abraham",
will be allowed to do so,


not by shepherding sheep and goats,
but by serving body and soul
of human guests,


I believe
that most of the modern Bedouins
will have less or no opposition
to live in viable desert-villages and towns.
EXPLORING
I found a good Wikipedua-Article about
Unrecognized Bedouin villages in Israel ,
Especially the last chapter about
Ecological issues should be explored by me

"While Bedouin take up open spaces that could be used for touristic purposes and construction of towns to accommodate new settlers, prominent Israeli environmental figures argue, that unapproved construction of unrecognized villages are an environmental hazard.

"Some ecologists say that Bedouin communities are causing damage to ecosystems since the Negev has unique habitats. There is a transitional area between the desert and the border region of the south of Judaean Mountains and Shfela, where most plant and animal species perform a gradation between habitats. Therefore, this zone is vital for them, especially during the global warming when species of the desert are expected to migrate to the north" [Enough for now, because it's already the Eve of Shabbat)

 

 

December 28, 2013

 

 
There's a German proverb:
Der Mensch denkt und Gott lenkt
Man thinks and God steers.

This is a one-time chance
to compare a plan for the next day
with what was meant to manifest!
Luckily I recorded the plan, hoping
that the crazy whirlpool in my head
would come to peace and let me sleep.

I now transferred my words
(addressed to "God")
into writing, without any editing!

As to my experiences in "Eliyahu's Cave",
they are not documented.......
but see about "my" caves
I feared, my hip joint wouldn't allow me
to climb up all the way to reach the cave,
and anyway there's a great compensation:
My newest song about Eliyahu's
"the voice of a fine silence".

The last words of that nightly planning
are an adaptation of a Psalm-verse in an old song

The letter to Gadi and Efrat and Maya Lybrock
Until I came home, Gadi had sent a photo of the scroll to my e-mail
and asked to hear about my experience. So I started to sculpt this letter:
Suddenly at midnight I was urged to check, when exactly - 4 years ago - we approached what was still the 'Succayah', with my Bedouin friends, Yahia and Samira, who until January 2006 were intended to become the pioneers of a Rihlah/ Ohalah, a mobile Desert Hosting business.- As I told - Abraham Dror did not let them enter.
I suspected, that it was on the 28th of December. "But that would be tomorrow", I screamed. It was already "today": Shabbat, no public transport, no appointment with Gadi or Yael. I got up from my cosy bed, turned on the computer, and , indeed, was confirmed in what I suspected. Therefore no choice, a command from within is a command. I left already at 7:35 in the morning, passed my Wadi of Compassion and stretched my hand out along the main street of Arad. A smiling woman brought me to the entry of Arad and after another 7 minutes a man took me in. This changed all I had planned. We arrived at Mitzpe-Ramon, took the scroll from Gadi and drove to what is still "Succah in the Desert" from the northern side, which enabled me not to enter the place from the front. Hadn't I sworn 4 years ago, that my foot would never touch it again?


On January 1, 1992, this was the snow view from my mattrass in the cabin, in which I lived then for half a year and in which Avi has been living for 15 years.[see text]
Suddenly I see the flaw in Alan Sabag's beautiful creation: why did I allow him to use stones for the basis? Wasn't I myself diverting from the law of temporariness?

RECALLING   experiences     towards the MANIFESTATION     of the MOBILE DESERT HOSTING ECONOMY

 

2013: A document about Succah in the Desert
for "the Company for Desert Resources Realization",
which I found in Gadi's album (my gift to his 40th birthday,
shortly before I left my creation and responsibility behind
and went down to Egypt, to Sinai, not any goal or purpose.)

"A blessing for the members of
the "Council of Directors"
of the
"Company for Desert Resources Realization"
It was at the end of November 1988,
that the Succah vision "landed" upon me.
For ten months I was pregnant with the idea
and towards the transfer of my mobile home
to the edge of the Ramon Crater
on Rosh Hashanah 5750 [Sept.30,1989]
I wrote a document in which I described the vision
through the eyes of three kinds of participants
in the "Succah Game":
the guests, the hosts and ---the "omnim":
from the word "omen/omaenet".
(Moses to God in Numeri 11
Did I myself conceive this entire people,
or did I myself give-birth to it,
that you should say to me,
Carry it in your bosom
like a nursing-parent carries a suckling-child ...
[1992-2013: see the song about "My three Peers"]

the continuation of this doc is the same as the 1994 Succah-Memorandum , quoted also on the doc inserted below



"On this day the first "omnah" is gathering
["Esther was in the 'omnah' of Mordechai", Esther 2:20]

I'm full of hope, that each one of you will find
the challenge and the satisfaction
and the encounter
for which you decided
to become the "OMNIM" of this company."
Avi Dagan, (who initiated the idea of an LTD Company)
and the names, occupations and addresses of the other members of the "Council of Directors"
of the "Company for Desert Resources REalization"
as listed above.


The "Succah-Vision"
or "Desert SPS Economy"
- Supplement
to the official document of
"the LTD Company

[ Though the English translation
is juxtaposed to the Hebrew text
in
"1994 Memorandum"

and - in big letters-
was re-edited on July 20, 2009
- at the end of "A Succah Glossary"]

I want to give this document
an outstanding space
in both languages
on this page,

as a Fair-Well from
the first,
the "temporary" scientific model
of a Desert Hosting Economy
based on the Desert's treasure
SPS- Space, Purity and Silence,
for which there is great demand
in the cities of
crowdedness, pollution and noice.

Translation:

"Succah Vision" or "SPS Desert Economy"
(See the Hebrew original of "the Memorandum", graphically paralleled by my translation on 2002_08_09) ,
This is the same translation, but better visible, re-edited on 2009_07_20)

Supplement to the official document of
"the LTD Company for the Benefit of the Public"
established on16.2.94 and registered via Lawyer David Sandowski, Jerusalem

DESERT RESOURCES COMPANY. LTD
For utilizing the Comparative Advantage of the Desert:

SPACE, PURITY, SILENCE (SPS)
[a 'market demand' of those
who need to recover sometimes
from the Crowdedness, Pollution and Noise in the City]

The basic socio-economic infrastructure in the Desert:

"Succayah" a business for family-like hospitality in the desert
"Midbaron" a hamlet that renders services to the succayahs
"Midbaryah" a desert municipality: 12 succayahs and a midbaron

The Succah Vision, or "An Economic Approach to the SPS of the Desert",
uses the term "Succah" as a symbol
for the stay of Wo/Man "in unsown land" [Jeremia 2,2]
[listen to the expanded song, now in Song-Game 2007]
as well as for the creativity of Wo/Man and her/his creation.

The first model of a "Succayah"
which has been functioning now for four years,
is composed of seven Succahs for one to 12 guests
(+ seven mobile succahs=pyramidal tents, if necessary)
+ three cabins for hosts
+ a cabin for an artist
(who would, e.g. create ceramics and invite guests to take part in a creation common to adam and adamah)
[The fifth cabin, "Eliezer" was not yet built, and "Ishma'el" became crucial for the "Aetgar be-Midbar" - but burnt in 2009 ? and not rebuilt]
All the structures are equipped with electicity from the sun.
The water (shower/kitchen) is brought by the hosts by jeep,
as long as the Nabatean technology of gathering rain water has not yet been renewed.


"A Succayah" is built on   t w o   p r i n c i p l e s
which allow Wo/Man to live in the desert without imposing her/himself
and without destroying the very treasure of the desert, its resource of SPS.

1. "Dispersion":
the limited number of Succahs and of guests
promises a balance between Man and Nature (or: Adam and Adamah)
and meaningful communication between Adam and Adam.

2) "Temporariness" of structures, services and ownership:
a) the temporariness of the structures -
allows the Succayah to move to another place
in case the present location is needed for another purpose
or in case the city comes too close which will damage the SPS

c) the Temporariness of the hosts' services
allows them to make a break or to leave,
in case they become tired of welcoming guests into their heart day after day

c) The temporariness of the ownership
prevents the temptation to expand
and to impose unnecessary civilization and thus destroy the SPS
("the investion" of the entrepreneur is a temporary loan)

[2002_08_ 10: I do not remember, what I meant with this sentence. Loan from whom?
As I see it today - and this is very relevant now for Gadi&Efrat -
any investion should be covered by the current income.
If not - the "foster-parent" has to get his/her reward from the satisfaction of "fostering" the Succayah.
This is - I admit - difficult in the present time-period of capitalism.
It is one of several reasons, why today I would prefer the mobile model of a hosting business,
which I developed following my experience in Sinai, and at the Red and Dead Sea [1996-99]



This belongs to the category "Small tourist Enterprises"
It functions as an   i n d e p e n d e n t   business
provided that it is integrated in an overall socio-economic lay-out ,
which preserves the SPS of the desert:

In the center of about 12 succayahs,
each one unique according to the character of its founders and its target guests,
will be established a "Midbaron", a permanent desert hamlet,
which will serve the succayahs and their people
(including local agriculture and services from teachers/healers
in the realm of "Holistic Health of Body-Spirit-Soul"
and from "Human Development" experts).

A Midbaron + about 12 succayahs
will compose a "midbaryah", a kind of municipal autonomic unit.
Many midbaryas with different economic focuses
will create the socio-economic basis in which all other ideas and projects of entrepreneurs
who want to create in the Negew,
will integrate,
provided that they integrate into the very basic economy of the Desert: SPS

 

Goals of "the Company for Desert Resources LTD
(from the paragraphs phrased by the lawyer on the base of my formulations)

(a) for the realization of the comparative advantage of the desert - Space, Purity, Silence (SPS)
- via the establishment and running of desert hosting enterprises
which will give integrated services
which will comprise among other things tourism, recreation, creation, research, learning and healing,
and this on the base of general principles,
which will guarantee the preservation of the treasure of the desert,
which are temporariness (structures, services, location and usage of soil) and yekhidiut (limitedness of size)

(b) for the promotion and usage of research and development of technologies
in the area of building and building materials,
provision of electricity and water,
facilities for sewage and heating,
systems for transport and communication,
which will enable the integration of modern Man in the desert
while preserving the ecology and the SPS which are the basis of Desert Economy

(c) for the sake of creating permanent settlements [midbaronim]
the economy of which will be based on
the production of products and rendering of services for the temporary hosting enterprises.

(d) for the creation of an infrastructure of a socio-economic network
which will integrate temporariness and permanence
and which will not encourage enterprises which are not based on
the principle of preserving the SPS of the Desert,
which is the foundation of desert civilization.

(e) for the sake of establishing contracts and franchises
for the establishment of projects of hosting enterprises
for time periods which will be decided upon,
while choosing the entrepreneuers which establish and run them,
while training and guiding them in the spirit of the SPS Desert Economy,
and while mediating between them and the central and local government , as needed.

The Company was established on 16.2.94
between Rachel Bat-Adam and Gadi and Efrat Lybrook,' Studio Borokhov (photography and gallery).

Also Rachel Bat-Adam will be represented in the council, but not as chairperson.
Address in Tel-Aviv: Studio Borochov, Shenkin St 26, phone 03_200904


The incredible guiding I was granted with
towards my delivery of my message to Avi,
[-that he should open the path to the second, improved part of the scientific model
of a Desert Hosting Economy
by wiping off the earth
what I and he have installed on it,]
reinforces my desire and decision
to not petition or partner people,
but to "let them come my way".

I came across an immensely relevant document,
the last one I sculpted before leaving in 1976:
Addressed to the hosts!
I forgot all about it and now must study this thorouly!


Maya's response makes me feel content,
while I'm sad about Yael's withdrawal
(or that's how I see it)
after her "hugging" response
following our meeting on Dec. 11
RECALLING   experiences     towards the MANIFESTATION     of the MOBILE DESERT HOSTING ECONOMY
