Too often the word “Manifestation” is used without true respect for the power of the word itself, as it is responsible for all creation. All creativity through invention, creating from Fantasy-to-Reality is all the act of “Manifestation” itself. In its truest form, God said, “Let there be Light, and it was Good”… It’s not simply a “Spiritual Wish”, but “Ideation with Intent”!
The following op-ed offers characterization, critical review and criticism, case studies and a success story in the “Vision to Fruition” space, aimed at the dreamer, as well as the pragmatist, with hopes that both, will be triggered, or at least encounter, a resonant nugget of insight, as they create the act of “Manifestation”, to further the advancement of our World!
The Bigger Picture
Appropriately, visions exist for a purpose. They reflect a philosophy that is based on principles and core values. Visions should be supported by a plan that is measurable, a plan which is implemented by a team who are capable, a team who utilize tools and technologies that are sustainable. Visions are only worthy if they manifest ultimately to reality. Otherwise, they are just hollow words, or what some would call, daydreams.
The terms and phrases being bandied about to describe what the future will, or should be, such as New Earth, and the Higher Dimension, all carry with them lofty objectives of a greater purpose, or elevated state of being, as a personal spiritual journey or evolution, being pushed by the pop culture media. However, these concepts, unto themselves, are not alone vehicles enabling a better, healthier and sustainable society, as this group states. Not True. When used in this incorrect context, these forward-thinking concepts can be misconstrued as largely empty rhetoric, akin to Word Salads, spewn by self-proclaimed social media and mainstream “Gurus”. This treatment only serves to undermine and invalidate its credibility, not promote awareness or change, but only gain clicks and likes.
New Earth, is more than a vision, it’s a plan, driven on principles, implemented by teams with hearts for serving this planet. It’s a real thing, not a daydream. So don’t be confused or mistaken by the false narratives being promoted in the current pop culture media, that would impede the arrival of this new change, which would be so healing for our world.
Thank God, there are those that say, and feel, that it is time to reenvision a New Earth, looking at what is currently the status of our civilization, and transforming it into something more beneficial, not only for our World’s Nature, or its Environment, but for all Living Things.
So, when considering the term New Earth, one sees a foundational change to the Global Status Quo, but not what extremists or fundamentalists would describe as “goals”, but in the form of real accomplishments, actual physical developments like The Line, in Saudi Arabia, currently in progress, or the master planned, environmentally sustainable cities of the future, like Dubai (UAE), Smart Forest City (Mexico), Telosa (USA) or BiodiverCity (Malaysia), to name a few.
Global Status
Back to the here and now, one of the plagues undermining our world today, is uncontrolled poverty in so many forms. It’s worth delving beyond the obvious, or superficial, economic or financial aspects. Simply put, it could be felt that having economic prosperity alone, could just provide resources to solve everything else, however this approach is only serving one-third of our planet, while the other nearly 70% still suffers.
But, in truth it must be recognized that the meaning of wealth is not just about economics and finance. Various forms of wealth may be in natural resources, vibrant health, a satisfied inner spirit, a happy family. Wealth may be in the form of a gift of intellect, the ability to articulate vision or a strong work ethic, an entrepreneurial spirit or mechanical ability. Wealth can, and should, be seen beyond mere financial measures.
It has been said that there is a lot more money in this world than there are good ideas. This notion lends credence to why inventors and entrepreneurs can, and have added, so much value to the life we live, with their good ideas, because money is in abundance. They are the ones who have created the various things that we use for work and play, and further creativity in this world we live in.
So, in the grand scheme of “Matchmaking”, the “Manifestation” of the objective is to bring together those with the wealth of ideas and those with the wealth of skills, for the purpose of bringing to fruition the vision of a world without poverty, together with the world of financial wealth, to support it.
The challenge lies in identifying the intersection between core values and principles, such as “for the sake of our children’s children” and “best for mankind and the planet”, with strategies that make economic and financial sense.
Too often these objectives have found themselves to be at odds with each other. What makes the best sense financially results in the victimization of certain factions of our global population, not to mention Nature itself. Likewise, what has the appearance of ecological prudence, comes at a premium that many cannot afford, and others are simply unwilling to pay.
This leaves the implementation of such “Clean Agendas” at an impasse. The US’s Green New Deal program has been shown to be a Ponzi-scheme to promote and proliferate the use of wind and solar energy systems, whereas these technologies have an inherently dirty supply chain, and from an energy production and return on investment standpoint, fail in terms of sustainability.
They’re all temporary, throw-away products and unsustainable in this form. Their promotion only sustains a line of business for manufacturers of products that cannot be reclaimed, nor are biodegradable. Polluting in the name of clean energy? Pure lies, it’s actually a dead-end road, at the expense of Nature and our populations.
Likewise, the Clean Energy initiatives championed by the United Nations, endorsed by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, support these Ponzi-schemes, either because of popular demand, or inside corruption. This has to change, or it will only promote more cases, where Globally, developing and underserved countries are being denied energy development funding, unless the implementation plans feature these alleged “green/renewable” technologies, forcing growth to the corruption and Ponzi-schemes, through the naivete fostered and maintained by the propaganda.
Inadequate and Antiquated Systems
Apart from the techno-economic infeasibility of these so-called “solutions”, in these regions, such ventures are a severe mismatch. So, it’s time for the collective entrepreneurs, inventors and developers to “Manifest” and cultivate reasonably matched systems, that are beneficial and compatible to these regions, and then have those solutions supported by the World Bank and the IMF instead, providing them a clean (no pun intended) “exit” from the corrupt status quo, to something truly beneficial and sustainable.
Historically, the most suitable systems to these regions of the planet have been shown to be based on hydropower and hydroelectric, taking advantage of their natural river systems and terrain. In terms of technical robustness, asset functionality and overall facility operating life span, hydroelectric dams seem a very good fit. However, with growing populations, increasing demand for electrical power and fresh water, compounded by circumstances of aging, or war-torn infrastructure, the existing facilities are at capacity and there’s not really new spaces, or ready funding available for expansion.
In addition, some areas of the world in need of either expanded electrical generation capacity, or even electricity at all, have neither the climate nor the topography to support such systems as hydroelectric dams. These communities and societies are left with diesel generators as the most immediate “fix”, which has a very short lead time needed to implement, but not a sustainable solution in the long run in terms of mechanical longevity, cost of operations and fuel, not to mention the impact to the environment, in form of noise and emissions.
And more imperatively, is the availability of safe drinking water. Too many of our citizens haven’t any access to safe water supplies… the very “elixir of life”. One can live in the dark and live primitively, without the more modern electrified conveniences that so many of us enjoy, but without water, there is no life.
With all the issues which ail our planet, the UN and their genius consultants and marketers, have put together a list of sustainable development goals that are inadequate, with the concept that these 17 so-called SDGs, if addressed successfully will be the “fix-for-all”. Reading through the theme captions for each, it becomes immediately obvious that these 17 points are not mutually exclusive, nor can one be solved without addressing the others, notwithstanding that national agendas seem to be only focused on one or two SDGs, while they claim to be “doing their part for sustainability”.
The Fundamental Human Factor
The short version, the practical version, is thus: people need water, food and shelter to survive. Beyond that, a livelihood and in many cases an education to facilitate that end. Next, the ability to procreate and have a safe environment to raise their family. Underpinning those objectives is such things as governance with integrity, reliable infrastructure, and a viable economic framework.
Thematically speaking, survival, employment, reproduction, and self-improvement should lead to some semblance of a quality of life. But, to be blunt, people who are dying of thirst and/or starvation could care less about air pollution, whether the fish they just ate was “sustainably caught” or if the few amps of electrical power they might enjoy came from a wind turbine or some other “clean” source. Have we lost our sense of reality?! It's time we focus on the world with true common sense and reach an understanding that is truly beneficial to our people, our environment and our growth... not one based on profit or special interests, let alone unrealistic concepts!
Looking at “Maslow’s Hierarchy of Need”, as a layered pyramid model, people facing the direst of circumstances, must first address the base of the pyramid, like water, food, shelter and sleep. The adjacent second layer, and logically next in priority, is safety, security and stability. Only when these fundamental needs are met can one contemplate their social connection, intimacy, friendship or family, constituting the third level of the hierarchy.
Beyond these basic levels of need, which are the essentials of survival, does one look to their “esteem needs” (i.e., self-respect, recognition, status, achievement – level 4) or their “self-actualization needs” (i.e., reaching one's full potential, personal growth, creativity – the apex).
Those facing the greatest level of need are simply struggling to achieve levels one and two, however too many programs aimed at “helping” are actually spending money on levels four and five. This makes no sense.
For international aid programs to commit millions of dollars annually to underserved nations in the name of gender studies and pronoun awareness training for schoolteachers, when the children of those same nations cannot even afford to eat, let alone get to school, is exemplary of misplaced myopic priorities. Where’s the common sense in this, outside of acting in the name of profit or spending money outlandishly?! It’s time to call an end to this type of waste.
Therefore, it is essential to meet people where they are at, in their specific station of life, or the pursuit thereof, and provide for them what they need, based on their own cognizance, as they move forward in their growth and development to unite with the rest of the world, on more advanced paths.
A Grass Roots Case Study (“Manifesting” Sustainable Aid)
Such a community was engaged in war torn Liberia. The citizens wanted a school built for their children (A Miracle in Palm Farm), because they believed that the best investment in their future was rooted in education. So, a relatively small amount of money was granted, the community came together and provided property and labor and built a school for their children. On the heels of this initiative arrived a water well and a septic system, then a road and routing of electricity into the local community, followed by a marketplace and a new housing area.
A “cause-and-effect” series of collateral benefits stemming from one well-aimed act of philanthropy, placed in the right hands. Local hands. Not sifted through international aid organizations. Not passed down through so many levels of the national bureaucracy.
Just straight to the need target, into the hands of those who would make a difference. Imagine that with programs as large as the international aid programs, if used in this form, would be so incredibly and directly effective, and truly offer change for the community itself.
In the subject program, this community collectively vested themselves in the development, and in so doing, garnered the sanction of their local chieftaincy, the support of their local government and the participation of their community overall.
And with a great sense of accomplishment, opened the doors for classes a mere 90 days after groundbreaking. With the pride and dignity of developing with their own hands and community, offering them a sense of ownership, they acquired a true stake in the outcome. This is “sustainable development”, from the ground up, with full respect and acknowledgement of the local culture and governance.
This feat, on the part of the collective community, was a beautiful sight to behold, so worthy of recognition on part of these community members, whom heretofore had nothing, now relatively speaking have become quite “wealthy”, with the advent of the opportunity to educate their youth and rally together as a community. It is told that children from the surrounding areas will walk for nearly 2 hours each way to get to and from school every day.
To think that such a humble effort carries such a far-reaching benefit, only inspires those “outsiders” sponsoring such an initiative to want to see more of these kinds of projects go forward, and to have the education systems proliferate and flourish, while seeing the communities grow around them, along with the infrastructure, utilities and local economy as a result. Who would have thought that such a “hands-off” nature of support would have such a profound effect?
This is not just complying to a policy statement, nor some international initiative that ticks a target box. This is an example of just going and saving lives and offering support for change... serving the communities in need and an entry point to revitalizing a nation!
Imagine in a decade’s time from now, where these young students have embarked onward to higher education and are now a trained and ready workforce, able to give back to the community that carried them through.
Again, enter the philanthropist, the engineer, the entrepreneur and the missionary, now with the support of the enhanced community. The first generation of those children saved years before, are now equipped and ready to make an even greater difference for their community, its neighbors and their nation overall.
What purpose would be served to have “aid” programs, such as those funded to give these people condoms, or gender awareness literature? Understand the absurdity of these current programs, given their circumstances of need. It’s time for change, effective change, rational change… or one would say “common sense”! It’s not to say that these programs don’t have relevance somewhere on earth, where it may be appropriate to be deployed, but given the dire aspect of local circumstances in this particular context, it’s just not a priority for this community.
Taking a Stand in “Manifestation”
Enter the Global Corporate Machine, a collective of companies with firstly, a heart to serve this planet, and secondly, a portfolio of technologies being offered, and developed, to provide the infrastructure systems globally, to help support the need of water, food supply, shelter, power and transportation, for our fellow global citizens, on an international scale.
The Corporate Machine is comprised of various divisions in marketing and communications, logistics and tourism, technology development and system engineering, infrastructure project development and delivery, as well as philanthropic and fundraising elements. This vertically integrated team of specialists, acting collectively to make a difference, aspire to transform our world, in collaboration with other such groups around the globe.
Priority targets and early phase campaigns are aimed at serving those in most dire need of intervention, implementing solutions to offset drought, famine and poverty, whether consequent of civil actions or climatic conditions, the GCM has front-to-back solutions to save these victims of war and other circumstances which have created hardships. We have drinking water solutions that are bespoke to any region from Sierra Leone to San Diego, each having their own unique water supply challenges.
The GCM has a suite of clean and sustainable energy technologies that will enable positive thrust and a differentiating position in the pumping of high-pressure freshwater, or seawater, systems to impact the energy and desalination production markets globally.
These high-pressure pumping systems can provide volumes of dedicated flows to hydroelectric power plants onshore, or offshore, desalination systems on or offshore, while providing a brine mixing discharge system neutralizing the toxic effects generated by such systems, without the carbon footprint of today’s current programs.
Imagine flourishing agricultural economy in the sub-Saharan nations of Africa, where presently drought and food scarcity lie at the roots of the civil unrest that characterizes the region. The GCM has solutions in water filtration, pumping, aqua-ducting and irrigation, using our suite of technologies as a combination embodiment, designed for such functions. The deserts will bloom!
To further address food security, our offshore and submarine structure designs can be outfitted for aquaculture and vertical agriculture. These ocean-based sites can be self-sufficient in the power generation needed to support their operation, while providing a reliable food supply for the local citizens, let alone feature export capabilities for profit. Such enterprises are all within reach via the GCM portfolio of technologies, aligned with vendors and supply chains around the world.
Or considering the situation of the lack of energy infrastructure so prevalent in island states and nations, such as in the Caribbean region, and the influx of tourism and economy that would result for these people, if such facilities could be sustainably installed, not to mention the benefit to the citizens of these areas suffering under the burden of premium price point for their electricity… some of the highest rates on the planet! Economic development, at scale, could be further enhanced for these regions, by employing our structural technology building blocks and pumping systems, to form subsea habitats, and their companion life support systems, expanded to resort destinations, and even underwater cities, fully self-sufficient in their power, water and food supply needs.
As yet another embodiment of the GCM combination of structural and pumping technologies, to further challenge the imagination, contemplate mobile, renewably energized power and water plants, that can be transported as integrated ship hulls.
As fully mobile and self-propelled units, these systems can be mobilized alongside islands destroyed by hurricanes, to bring immediate relief to the impacted citizens, by the direct delivery of electrical power and drinking water.
These aren’t a collection of pipe dreams. These are real, ready-for-market, practical solutions that will work both technically and economically for so many scenarios, to serve these people and their countries.
Whether a triage approach to socioeconomic intervention, in developing regions of the world, or simply as an optimization of how natural resources are used for those areas already “on their feet”, just needing an upgrade, the GCM portfolio of skills and technologies, along with its leadership and implementation philosophy, will address what this planet needs, while aligning with other such resources underway.
The expected forthcoming GCM projects will encompass a diversity of technological implementations, and embodied combinations of our products, each tailored to the needs of the populations, which the resulting project developments will serve.
Summation
Given our system's potential for scalability and versatility, it is evident from the numerous project case studies undertaken by the GCM team to date that these technologies can be deployed to achieve economic growth, quality of life improvement, and the development of a talent pipeline to achieve sustainability and circularity of economy. This is a true, realistic and practical pathway to the epitome of sustainability, as embodied within the overall vision of the Global Corporate Machine.
It Takes a Village
The Global Corporate Machine is looking forward, with great anticipation, to collaborating with the great thinkers and developers of our planet, in the joining of our efforts to “Manifest” and bring about the New Earth systems, concepts and ideas for tomorrow!
