Ambiance of Well-Being: Change Your Thinking

From Scarcity to Abundance

Welcome to the Ambiance of Well-Being ! Here we will focus on Abundance. How to tune into the frequency of positive energy, and create an environment of health, wealth, and abundance.
Buckminster Fuller said during our 1st Energy Crisis in the 1970's. "There Is No Energy Crisis, There is a Crisis of Ignorance". The Information Age is moving us away from the scarcity mentality of the Industrial Era, and has the opportunity to bring to the masses the truth of how the universe works through abundance. The internet can be the perfect vehicle to break through this ignorance, and bring the truth to light. We will strive to show how "Going Green" and focusing on renewable, and alternative energies will build an atmosphere of an abundant healthy environment.

Let's create a Better world together!

Change Your Thinking

To illustrate the idea of changing our thinking from one of scarcity to one of Abundance, I will present a few quotes from the 1997 book Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature by Janine M. Benyus. She discusses a subject long understood by many Indigenous People, that of learning from Nature instead of working to conquer Nature.

“We must draw our standards from the natural world. We must honor with the humility of the wise the bounds of that natural world and the mystery which lies beyond them, admitting that there is something in the order of being which evidently exceeds all our competence. -Valclav Havel, president of the Czech Republic” (Chapter 1, page 1)

"In a society accustomed to dominating or "improving" nature, this respectful imitation is a radically new approach, a revolution really. Unlike the Industrial Revolution, the Biomimicry Revolution introduces an era based not on what we can extract from nature, but on what we can learn from her." (Chapter 1, page 2)

“They know that nature, imaginative by necessity, has already solved the problems we are struggling to solve. Our challenge is to take these time-tested ideas and echo them in our own lives.” (Chapter 1, page 4)
