To
Hebrew speaking visitors:
Friends blame me for not writing in Hebrew.
But as long as I cannot provide the texts
in both Hebrew AND Arabic,
I must use the neutral English.

Noah's
Dreamer Economy

"The needs of the community - food, water, equipment,
communication - have to be met by the trainees day by day.
The guidance and the training will be given for free.
Information about the needs in a specific week will be given before
your arrival (066-290920) and during the training."

"That is a wonderful dream,
so why don't you go ahead and realize it?"
I may ask this question one hundred people,
and ninty nine will have the same pretext:
"It needs money, and I don't have it."
"I must make a living after all."
"I have a family, who will feed them?"
How will the dreamer trainies start to cope with
the "Money-Syndrom"?
I emphasize the verb "start"!
For as any "syndrom" there are many aspects to the formidable
illusion,
that "if I only had the money, I would..."
The trainees will not pay a fixed amount of money to me or any future
trainer.
They will learn to take responsibility for all specific costs of
their living (food, water to drink and wash, clothing, bedding materials
etc.)
their creating (materials, tools)
and their learning (like via this and other relevant Internet sites)
What little money I, the trainer, need for living
and working,
mainly for the costs of this website and cellular communication,
will be a part of the specific day-to-day needs ,
which will have to be covered by the trainees.
Only a few facilities, like the solar-powered computer
and cellular communication system in the cave, are already existing.
Other facilities, like water containers, equipment for cooking and
eating, mattresses will be brought and left behind by the pioneers.
But food, water and materials for the physical creation of Noah's
Shore
will always have to be provided by the trainees .
Part of the training each day will be spent on:
listing the needs,
distributing the tasks of supply,
deciding on who can bring, create or pay what,
deciding what to do, if the needs will not be covered by the contributions,
or what to do with a surplus of contributions.
Part of the needs will be those of a specific day
or week,
part will be for a longer term,
All listed needs and all specific contributions, be they by individuals
or by the community ,
will be visible and accessible for all - on a public computer, or
projected on a screen, or printed out.
Some purposes of this method are immediately
obvious:
(1)
The costs of the Dreamer Training will not exceed the costs of anybody's
living at home,
they may be even much lower, since consumption will be naturally restricted.
This will enable any potential dreamer to take the training
and the excuse: "I can't afford it", will not be valid.
(2)
We will become more aware of the monster of "consumption".
For a great part of "getting" money for fulfulling a dream
is in changing "beliefs" concerning what is necessary to
buy for money.
We might discover non-monetary means to cover our needs.
Yes, our very "needs" might transform.
(3)
We will learn to cooperate and to balance between "we are all
equal", and "everyone is different".
For example:
sometimes it will be fair, that everyone contributes the same amount
of money, materials or work,
another time it will be fair, that those who can give more, will give
more than those who have less.
(4)
We will start to understand the formidable emotions connected with
money.
For example, the statements-
"I have money and can give", and "I don't have money
and cannot give",
do not necessarily express facts, but feelings.
Since we learn to become transparent in what they have and what we
don't have,
we will see:
some people give of what little they have,
but often with dubious motives, rooted in unconscious and
unmoved emotions
(aspiring to be appreciated by people as "generous", for
example)
and some people have an emotional block of giving from their abundance.
We will learn not to judge such
patterns
and not to override a person's
feelings, whatever their source,
but will become aware of "the holes in the wholeness" in
each of us.
May these hints of how we'll cope with the "Money-Syndrome"
ring a bell in you.
If yes, you might soon plunge into the spring, which today looked
like this:
