Seven

When I was sketching in my sketchbook and my thoughts were wandering: “We on this planet are continuously fighting each other by all the means, which technology has given us”[i].

The current situation in the world at this time partly formed the thought: “Is it possible to conceive of a structure in which, before aggression becomes predominant, everything is first calmly considered and reasoned about?”

Going to implement a structure or consultation principle that first takes a wise and thoughtful look at the problem that has arisen. Keeping in mind the current situation with all the wars, dictatorships and oppression, a strong stirring of disgust was evoked in me[ii]. The aversion to all the violence and senseless shouting only grew stronger. I couldn’t sleep because of it.

Until, over the course of the past few days I came up with the idea, to try to establish a consultation cluster with seven wise people. A small group that is able, if possible, objectively, to approach the issues at hand. Linked around the world in each country such a group of wise people, who continuously approach each other and consult each other independently. They ensure that all arguments presented are carefully examined and double-checked. In close consultation with the other groups in the global network.
