The ASK CADRE

The ASK CADRE is the 'Teacher' aspect of the BoomerDreams Wiki The work here is the development ASK CADRE process

## ASK - Always Seek Kinship

### **A lifestyle**

* that is to be adopted/adapted
* by a populace whose
	+ intention is to endure/prosper
	+ through the inevitable collapse
		- the systems we are currently co-dependent on
		- Civil Society

**A Collective: forming a whole; Combined**

**A Process: a continuous action, operation, taking place in a definite manner.**

**An Enterprise: a project undertaken, especially one that is important and requires boldness and energy**

## **CADRE - Collective Association of Re-Evolution Educators -**

#### **Teams/groups of persons**

* **C**ommitted to
	+ supporting community activism
	+ horizontal governance
	+ regional sustainability

#### The Cadre will operate as a SHIP

* Sharing and Involved Participation - (SHIP) process
* that provide personal and collective skills for assisting those that “ask” how to initiate and support the ASK values in their personal and community lives. It is about us getting together with interest individuals/groups and helping them initiate ‘another’ ASK Enterprise, sharing and solving problems within a ‘human scale’ community helping each other in the process of learning and becoming sustainable.

## **Us and Them - End This NOW!**

All the arguments

Who -Why - What

You Did It - Make Me

Must End

For this

IS a Dead End

No way to address Life

or the continuation there of

That is

As it pertains to humans!

This is a key Reality

“Life IS”

A Truth

If you would

For we people

are but a portion of

“We The Earth”

This is

Functional Understanding

Of our existence

Ah Yes!

the Age Old Worry

Dooms Day

Ya - Well

We have been fretting

4500 years now

nothing’s happened YET...

We can keep using UP

<OUR> Earth

We Are smart

Engineer all the LITTLE problems

AWAY

(into the sea - soil - bodies)

Age Old

Is but a small portion!!!!

Our homo sapiens age at 400K years

Village Culture 1M years.

Complex tool development 1.8M

Homo ancestors 2M - Hominids 7M

The Real IS

we are From Earth –

we belong to a lineage

of life that spans 3.8B years

We Belong to Earth

Earth Does NOT belong to us!

Earth – All of Life

IS NOT ours

to use to our own devices

to use up kill change

At our own singular will

with no regard for REALITY

What we do to Earth

We do to Our Selves.

We are all invited to The Table

This invitation is Always there

We have left The Table

And still...

We are Invited – To Return

If we do not return

We will be Compelled

To be gone from the Table

From Earth

Everything that is on Earth

knows their Place their role

- even us -

although we have forgotten

in our actions

within society - at All Life

Yet

All who WE Meet

Know this - Implicitly

Preceding language

Preceding our own individuality

Our birth

It could be

Only this way

Everything on Earth

Precedes us

[Other than the perverse

Bio-engineered entities

We feel we have the right

To unleash upon

Our Earth Home]

Arguments - Quick Fixes

Lying Cheating Stealing

Anger - GREED

FEAR

Fractured

This is the key

for

Do Not Embrace

the

Reclusive Wound

And It IS Very
