- For example, using "Resilient Human", here are two results from the Knowledge Base -

[ I. ] A List of Desired Characteristics of the "Resilient Human":

1. Diversity in social and economic systems and inter-personal relationships

2. Thoughtful observation in Nature

3. Engaging the community in home-grown, citizen-led education and actions

4. Making and repairing useful things without the direct aid of experts or professionals

5. Partnering with the Earth as an integrated higher power; a protector; sacred and wild

6. Maintaining an obligation to act for the benefit of society at-large

7. Learning and practicing the ability to recover from misfortune or sudden change

[ II. ] Eight Foundation Concepts and Movements Selected to Help Define the "Resilient Human":

In ecology, sustainability is the property of biological systems to remain diverse and productive indefinitely. Long-lived and healthy wetlands and forests are examples of sustainable biological systems. In more general terms, sustainability is the endurance of systems and processes.

Permaculture is a philosophy of working with, rather than against nature; of protracted and thoughtful observation, rather than protracted and thoughtless labor; and of looking at plants and animals in all their functions, rather than treating any area as a single product system. Building community and sharing are key ethics.

Transition Town Initiative differentiate themselves from other sustainability and "environmental" groups by seeking to mitigate these converging global crises by engaging their communities in home-grown, citizen-led education, action, and multi-stakeholder planning to increase local self-reliance and resilience.

DIY, or "Do it yourself", is the method of building, modifying, or repairing things without the direct aid of experts or professionals. DIY behavior can be triggered by various motivations including identity enhancement (craftsmanship, empowerment, community seeking, and uniqueness).

SpiritNature is a belief system where the Earth is held as a higher power, integrated as a protector, sacred and wild. A higher consciousness where humans are committed to saving Nature from human wrong doing. The opposite of greed, toxic technologies, resource exploitation and waste in general. (W Paul)

Social Responsibility is an ethical framework and suggests that an entity, be it an organization or individual, has an obligation to act for the benefit of society at large. Social responsibility is a duty every individual has to perform so as to maintain a balance between the economy and the ecosystems.

Resilience is the capability of a strained body to recover its size and shape after deformation caused especially by compressive stress; and an ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change.

New Mythology - The old myths are burning out while new rituals, Nature-driven initiations and traditions, and archetypes emerge to reveal the pathways to a new global mythology.
