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 & inequality on a massive scale, and increasingly excluding everyone who does not comply with standards introduced by an elite which does not serve humanity. In response to that, and in alignment with current frequency changes on this planet, many people, businesses, initiatives & communities choose alternative forms of exchange which involve true cooperation & care, generate abundance, include everyone who takes part equally and with mutual respect, and which are rooted in integrity and continuous responsibility-taking. Such exchange and collaboration can happen in many ways and emerging economies of care will keep transforming until we are aligned with nature’s principles and have fully realised what we deeply want to see in our communities.

Nature, the underlying structure of intelligence in this universe, is very abundant when expressed freely. It neither knows debt, nor scarcity, nor is it rooted in mind-based calculation. It is a self-balancing system and its expression in our communities locally and worldwide can go as far as we want it to. Even under the most difficult of circumstances nature is constantly giving. Even the most barren landscapes provide water and food. And the barrenness we see currently in our landscapes is predominantly due to the suppression of nature. That suppression can never fully happen because it is not in alignment with the structure of this universe. Moreover that suppression is leaving because it no longer is the dominant force on this planet. The dominant force is us.

Nature provides without asking for return, but if you are in alignment with the core of who and what we all are, then it is a pleasure to reciprocate and to see nature thrive even more in response. It is a joy to give and to know with deep trust that nature always finds ways to provide for us, sometimes from the most unexpected direction. It is also our responsibility to return and to nourish what gives us life but once we fully embody that intelligence, then exchange happens by itself. It takes on different forms in different circumstances but there is no fighting for profit and no fear of being left out. It is a different world which we are quickly entering and see materialising before our eyes. These times are an opportunity for us to live our integrity and the more we do that the sooner we won’t know anything but care economies anymore.
