This great new documentary, featuring Mondragon and other co-operative inspirations shows how it is not just financial co-operatives who are more resilient to crisis, but all co-ops.
The examples are from around Europe, but the same is true in the UK.
The UK co-operative economy is performing significantly better than the UK economy as a whole with things like Community-owned Village Shops proving to have much higher survival rates than others.
Call for Unity!
Hello my dear Human Beings,
I realized many times that the group energy is always so much more powerful than the individual. When we are together we can do wonderful things. We can create a feeling of well being easily.
We have decided to do something better for all. This includes you, me and everyone. We are trying to do better in small segments where we think we are perfect. We are doing our best on our individual level. All of those people think it and work thinking what is right to do and it will be helpful to each of us. We are unique so our way will be different but our goal is same and it is for the well-being of all. Towards the same goal let’s do something better. Let’s each one of us connect to each and every person who is committed to do better for all. Let’s unite and work on the same platform. We all know we are all human beings with same bodies and the same intelligence and the same emotional behaviour, the same life requirements. We want the same world. The only thing is we are trying differently. We are trying alone. Why don’t we try together, in unity?
I respect the way you try to make it possible and you respect someone else’s unique way to make it possible. At this point we can’t cut ourselves off from each other to believe that there are many gods governing each of us separately. If there is a god, it could also be that there is one god, or that there is no god. We are all going to die one day and most of us will find we were wrong. We can’t judge something that we just don’t know. So let’s stop quarrelling with each other with the belief systems of separate gods, insisting that this god or that god is best. These beliefs haven’t solved our life problems. We did only businesses and not something better than that. God or messengers’ gave us only messages of humanity. They didn’t separate us. Not any particular god, messenger, or particular worshiping way or meditation technique is better than any other.
For the sake of management we have made boundaries like towns, cities, states, countries, etc. Therefore why do we think it is a boundary? Those boundaries can’t separate us. We are the same we know very well and so let’s be one and stop quarrelling. So far to survive we are doing business and jobs. But all those are based on taking from someone, or at many places, snatching from someone. The business is to take something extra from other’s pockets. Religious or spiritual practises are actually practises in meditations only. They have failed to create better human beings so far. It is like just writing something on paper but not actualizing it in real life. And also spirituality has no real answers for real well being. Many saints are spreading message of love and compassion and lots of meditation practises but none of them have created any well being on this earth. Why do we feel separate? Why do we snatch from others? Why do we find so much violence?
Two big issues that nobody wants to solve are taking/snatching through business and ruling over others. Even saints give blessings like… Your business grows a lot, means you take more from others than to give. People are focused to get the maximum from other people’s pockets and all forms of education and all saints’ blessings encourage that but very few are ready just to give the best without any expectations. Real beauty comes when we just try to give the best of ourselves, with nothing more than the intention of giving. There are so many ways by which we can give to create real well being.
We all know that we are unique so there should be contrast. We all know that we are dependent. So we have to make our hearts big. We have to accept our brothers. Let’s we accept the contrast due to uniqueness of everyone, we respect and realize that each one is unique so perfect and powerful in one particular direction, loving that way, we can create well being for all. Let’s cooperate each other and unite. There is always something you can do that I can’t do. Something I can do that you can’t do. Let’s share skills for each other and create well being! There will always be something you have that I don’t have; something I have that you don’t have. Let’s give it to each other and create well being together.
My love flow to you and your love flow to me, let’s create well being together!
We are same!
We are one always!
We are One!
We One!
WeOne!
Lots of love and well being for us all!
