The way we trade, offer services and prosper is changing profoundly across the planet. The centralised and highly digitalised worldwide financial and economic system is operating in ways which are dysfunctional, non-acceptable and outright destructive, deeply harming the Earth, devaluing life in all its forms, creating scarcity and inequality on a massive scale. Increasingly everyone who does not comply with standards introduced by an elite which does not serve humanity is simply excluded. In response to that, and in alignment with current frequency changes on this planet, many people, businesses, initiatives and communities choose alternative forms of exchange which involve healthy cooperation, care and long-term bonds, generate abundance, are an expression of mutual respect, and rooted in integrity and continuous responsibility-taking. Such collaboration can happen in many ways. Emerging economies of care will keep transforming. We are only just beginning to align with Nature and to realise what we want to see in our communities form that place of innate wisdom.

Nature, the underlying structure, or intelligence of this universe, is endlessly abundant when expressed freely. She neither knows debt, nor scarcity, nor is she rooted in mind-based calculation. It is a self-balancing system that continuously changes its expressions in form – in all aspects of life. We can take exchange and aliveness to any level of beauty, practicality, joy and local, or worldwide connectedness. Even under the most difficult of circumstances Nature is constantly giving. Even the most barren landscapes provide water, medicine and food, and that barrenness that we currently see in many environments is predominantly a result of the suppression of Nature. Suppression is quickly ending.

Nature provides without asking for return, but if you are in alignment with the core of who and what we are, then it is a pleasure to reciprocate and to see forests, animals, rivers and human beings thrive in response. It is a joy to give and to know with deep trust that Nature always finds ways to provide for us, sometimes through the least expected avenues. It surely is our responsibility to nourish what gives us life but once we fully live from our connectedness with that intelligence, then the correct form of exchange happens by itself. No fighting for profit and no fear of being left out but a world of full expression, forgotten levels of creativity and efficiency. These times are an opportunity and a call for us to live our integrity and to make the magic of life our reality.
