Motives and Motivation
July 11th, 2020As in the words life and live the words motive and motivation are not necessarily relate in their use. In this instance I am using the word 'motive' as to the reason behind a persons action, whereas motivation is dependent upon the result of actions in regarding to the management of land.
Motivation used in the sense of inner stamina is relevant to both in that it leads form one to the other.
A persons motive, is for me a deciding factor when I see little or no activity that could be valued as consumer awareness and in this situation destructive reduction. Being vegan may be an indication of motivation but what motive lies behind being vegan.
My concern or focus is on the comparable directions of inner dependence and outer dependence. Being a bush craft adept or even zealot does show motivation, but not motive. if the motive is to survive then the motivated act is how to exploit the environment in a more basic way and hence find solace in the individuals ability to survive. Busking is a street wise craft, free-loading from society as travellers is likewise a craft of survival, but was is the motive.
A person's survival is dominant and so it is arguable that each of us have the same motive, but what is it that each of us sees as the I, the ego, me, the animal, the conciousness., the spirit. My argument is around this identity and that the soul does not require any support even from the likes of conciousness or spirit, but then could the soul ever be a motive. Well no as not not does the soul require support it cannot be used to support a motive. The motive is about identity preservation the soul is eternal with no need to identify.
My motive is intellectual, born of Logic which in turn comes from Grace. Semantically Logic is the Message of God and can only be received by grace. It's use is the tool that enables motive and motivation. I use capitals to denote there is one of each of those conceptual entities, and the use of the word God does not infer some intelligent designer, though there are such.
So motive is an intellectual development born of a persons use of Logic. Each person will have their own spin of what direction they find themselves and will use the tools they have to maintain their desire and will motivate their body and modify their surroundings accordingly.
Where it is clear the environment cannot be manipulated to a persons design, then the option is to reconsider the plan and go back to the intellectual reasoning and look at what motive or motives have taken one to an insurmountable object.
The green revolution of the 21st century that focuses on environment impact is not the same as the green revolution of agricultural that provides the basic of the food most people depend upon daily. Neither revolution are sustainable in their present condition and are unlikely to ever be so.
So each person who comes across this consumer obstacle has motive to design or find an alternative, by Logic or Grace respectively.
Planning Development
July 11th, 2020To develop a plan their must be some directional motivation, some design, some peace of mind and the space to carry on.
In societal terms that requires the approval of the ever powerful holders of the resource to be exploited and prospect of being able to benefit from what is clearly a common resources.
Material resources having been commandeered by ego-centric entities such as trees and animals do not willingly give up their place, water and air may be apparent exceptions, though it is wise not to challenge the flexibility they have unless you are prepared to loose the struggle. And so it is with the homo sapiens, or more precisely in this location, me.
With the notion of development comes the plan and I have developed and modified my actions as the development continues. Societally I am constrained by the authorities that provide for the resources I exploit, the land and it's lawful use. Sure I can make small infringements which if left unchallenged for a period of time become defensible. This defence is quite simple, if neighbours do not complain I carry on. If my actions do not disturb their peace of mind I will not be challenged, if my actions support theirs I will, temporarily benefit from their support especially in that common development.
So my view is that a prospective beneficiary is most likely to be a developer and it is the proposed plan that is the issue in deciding if I find it disturbing, supportive or insignificant. The wild animals, such as deer, rabbits, mice, and birds are disturbing in that they eat vegetation that I cultivate for food. Neighbours develop their comforts and impinge on mine, yet each of us knows there are enforceable laws that can be exploited to deal with discomforts, if so desired.
In planning to exploit the ELF trust it would be wise to read a) the founding document, b) discuss with those founders about their motivation and c) with me as the manager about any aspect of the topics on this website. In the later, should someone really want to challenge me if they have not the time to visit multiple times and for long enough then they may best be served by reading all my more personal post on collection linked to in the left had column of this website. If neither if these seem attractive, which I imagine is unlikely they wait until I die and speak to those trustees that have little or no experience of managing the land.
The crux of the matter is to look inwards at what strength can be found to under-develop and thereby become insignificant, ideally transparent. If a person wishes to be a healer and shine, to be radiant and a beacon of what is right, then head for space to joint the other stars, for here there is no such option, just enough room to decay peacefully and if that were easy I would not be the obstacle to other's occupation of this land.
Electronic Communications
July 9th, 2020Since some decade before the 21st century, electronic communication has changed from telephone, to email, to website to social portals. To enable this at the ELF, until this year, that has been achieved via a standard telephone line that until the the 21st century could only cope with the telephone.
Due to social aspects of neighbour's desires I have agreed to have fibre optics installed. The image below shows the physical cables.
The flat 'fire bricks' cover the new fibre optic conduit, above which, fastened to an ash tree stump is the protrusion of an armoured cable that feeds the land line: currently used for all of the aforementioned methods ~ though no social medai options are exploited. To the left of the picure is the end on the fibre optics conduit awaiting Openreach's installation.
