THE VISION 
"That the moment you commit yourself to the Dream, Magic sets in " (Goethe).

Picture of a Hilamayan eco-village: The “CANCER-FREE” Hunza People From the Himalaya, who have been closely studied regarding whom physicians have confirmed for a long time that “The Hunzas have no known incidence of cancer” (Dr Robert McCarrison, AMA Journal, Jan 7, 1922). In addition, “ They live well beyond 100 years old and have commonly been known to still father children at the age of 110” (ibid.), provided they do not adopt the “sad” model (standard American diet”) and stay in their paradisiacal eco-villages close to Nature: Some of their lifestyle conditions - no pollution and toxic stress, pure and alcalinic water and vibrant healthy foods rich in rubidium and potassium, clean & ozonated air, rich humus-topsoil, medium mountain altitude, exercises, sun, plant-based diet, with lots of fiber and apricots (eating the nitriloside-amygdalin rich kernel). As much of the Hunza culture gravitates around the apricot tree, it is interesting to observed that they have used apricot seeds as monetary units, medicine, cosmetic and food oil while a Hunza's wealth is measured in terms of the quality and quantify of apricot trees and seeds. |

Vision
Enlightended self sovereinty via self-reliant holistic and sustainable communities
In order to contribute in warding off the destruction of the "self", from the grips of auto-immune diseases (over one hundred and increasing), in order to avoid the self-destruction of human communities (e.g., Unicef = 25,000 children dieing each day from avoidable), in order to reconvert the millions of acres of arable land which were turned into deserts by our divisive greed-based Civilization, we need an inspiring VISION.
The Garden of Eden imagery could work. Coherent and vibrant sustainable communities are but the continuation of the Garden of Eden era. The Bible refers to "Eden" and "The Kingdom on Earth as it is in Heaven" where our "daily bread" (basic needs) requirement is met without stress and chronic diseases each day.
In this perspective, as a reaction against our dysfunctional Societies, for the last twenty years, there has been a growing ecovillages movement, (CLICK HERE FOR DEFINITION), over 15,000 in the world, most of which are trying to replicate some of the balancing elements of the traditional villages of the distant past (close to Nature, manageable size, sustainability, simplicity, holistic health etc). Many of these sustainable communities are governed less by competitive greed and fear (via monetary and military action mechanisms) than by universal, spiritual and holistic values based on creative meaningfulness and the respect of Life. Please see the History of these villages and sustainable settlements by clicking here.
The philosophical bedrock upon which sustainable eco settlements are based rests on the hippocratic general principle known as "primum non nocere" (i.e., first, do no harm, which does not mean "no conflicts", just lots of caring for life), a principle upheld by Dr Hippocrates (the father of modern medicine), by Sun Tzu (the father of the military arts ), by Montesquieu (the father of modern political philosophy), by Bhouda (the Indian healer, via his “ahimsa” doctrine), by the 19th century political thinker, British Parliament member John Stuart Mill (the father of modern political and economic liberty, see his "no harm" doctrine by CLICKING HERE) and by the European "precautionary principle".
Some people have called this principle "Satyagraha", or “the force of truth,” pioneered by Gandhi and his friends. In this perspective, under the constellation of the present circumstances, it is possible if not desirable to envision a planet of diverse cultures of all life united in celebrating our Aliveness via the creation of sustainabble eco-communities in harmony with each other and the Earth, while meeting the basic needs of this and future generations.
Eco-village entities are like healthy cells of a human or animal body. They are disease-free, sustainable, holistic pieces of biological matter. Which oxidize, acidify, turn sour, cancerize and metastasize into entropic chaos when "enlightened self-sovereignty" and the Spirit of Vitality is deficient. (See on the top right what a cell which has deviated from the Community of healthy cells looks like when it turns into cancer).
OUR FATHERS' DREAM: the Sustainable and traditional Village
" As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our Founding Fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience's sake. And so to all other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born: know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman, and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and that we are ready to lead once more."
President Obama (Inauguration, Jan 20th, 2009).
HOLISTIC HEALTH ECO-VILLAGES BASED ON ENLIGHTENED SELF-SOVEREIGNTY MEANS THAT MOST OF THE TOOLS OF PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION ARE CREATED LOCALLY (FOOD, SHELTER, TEXTILES ETC) AS NEEDED, BECAUSE THE GOAL OF AN ENLIGHTENED ECO COMMUNITY IS LESS THE SLAVERY OF GDP (GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTION),THAN THE IN VIVO INVESTMENT OF GWB (GENERAL WELL BEING).
The building of an experimental holistic health eco village based on detox and immuno boosting retreats, sustainability, appropriate technology and congenial values, in the low to mid mountain area, close to hot springs and a river could be a bilateral project in conjunction with the Statue of Civic Responsibility.
This project would contribute to shift the civilization process. Already, there are more and more people who desire more wellness than finances.
" A recent survey (Easton, 2006) found that 81% of the UK population agreed that the Government’s primary objective should be the creation of happiness not wealth. Earlier this year David Cameron, House Member Leader of the Opposition, put happiness firmly on the political agenda by arguing that “It’s time we admitted that there’s more to life than money, and it’s time we focused not just on GDP (gross domestic product), but on GWB – general well-being" (BBC, 2006).
Once shown to have great "GWB" (General Well being), this holistic sustainability model could be implanted in all welcoming communities, provided our Constitutions can get more "perfected" with key amendment provisions (See the Committee's Constitutional clean-up Declaration for the details).
IS THIS "SUSTAINABILITY" AND "SELF RELIANCE" PROJECT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SPIRIT AND THE LETTER OF THE LAWS ?
The core, the nucleus of the issue rests on the engine of "enlightened self sovereignty" and on the way both Nature and the Universe work. Less from a competitive, divisive, "long supply lines" structure than via a cooperative, unifying localized village structure.
“The continued existence of a free and democratic society depends upon recognition of the concept that justice is based upon the rule of law grounded in respect for the dignity of the individual and the capacity through reason for enlightened self-government". (On attorney ethic rules, Washington State's Supreme Court)
HOW WE CAN PROMOTE THE SUSTAINABLE AND ECO VILLAGE MOVEMENT
Via tax and bonus incentives for opportunities favoring experimental living in sustainable communities (urban, co-housing, rural areas) where eco-construction, alternative energies, kudzu and other biomass fuel to replace gas, organic agriculture and viticulture (to maintain health), strong fiber cash crops industry (for housing bio-materials, non polluting paper and natural fiber textiles), crafts, local monetary units, appropriate technology, home schooling, human rights and duties eco-village formative centers, the building of the civic responsibility statue for the State etc., can be worked upon, in the Khalil sense of the word "work" (= "right work is love made visible").
SEARCHING FOR A NEW DEFINITION OF "LEGAL WORK"
It is presently the candidate's opinion that if mainstream work leads to the killing of innocent animals, to the destruction of our health (toxic prescribed drugs, the processed "food" industry, the soda pop epidemic, the production of tobacco etc.), the stripping of needed resources from the famine striken world, the destruction of our environment and the decomposition of our social fabric, inter alia, for the private gain of those callous individuals who have used Machiavelian ruse and Robespierrian deception to legally and politically control the People's Democracy and mislead the community, then it necessarily follows (if we are to be guided by enlightened Reason), that this type of work should be either illegal or heavily taxed.
On the other hand, an exemplary and enlightened government would enact statutes that would prohibit this type of work and replace it with more creative and fulfillment employment. If a Legislature does not, then it is serving less the People than "Special Interests", who care less about the welfare of the People than about the control they have over others and the never-ending accumulation of power and greed.
HISTORY RIPENS
In this perspective, Washington’s next governor will have the obligation to govern in light of the State, Federal and International human rights standards, but the freedom to choose which type and-or mixtures of civilizations he or she may desire to better meet the People’s basic needs. So the issue is to identify the civilization options.
There appears to be only three options. Military and mercantile Civilizations appear to have no credible solutions to most of our problem. While holistic, sustainable and Spiritual Civilizations are more resilient and more satisfying from the viewpoint of the satisfaction of our basic needs and dignity.

Mission:
By planting the seeds of renewal today, we can harvest the fruits of change tomorrow. By contributing in the creation of a sustainable future, by creating pilot holistic health eco-villages in a rural setting, be it in un-used big barns and land, or in wooded lands or co-housing areas, we can plant the seeds of hatikvah and harvest happiness.
There is a need for people and communities to meet and share their ideas, exchange technologies, develop cultural and educational exchanges and be devoted to restoring the land, their health and living sustainable and holistic lives. Trans-frontier eco-villages, intentional communities, autonomous counties, vibrant States and peaceful Nations are all based on our enshrined "enlightened self-sovereignty" and may one day constitute the Republic of enlightened values Victor Hugo, Ben Franklin and Sri Aurobindo and the others spoke about, endowed with universal competence on issues which are by nature trans-national.
