Natural Living And Preparing Our Children For The Future

To read this in black and white click this link.

One hundred years ago it was appropriate for parents to train their children for an industrialized world. Good or bad the industrialized world was the future and all of our recent ancestors would have to make their peace with it. So good and wise parents of those days had to prepare their children for living in such a world. Just twenty years ago preparing our children for a computerized world was also a wise choice for caring parents. Computers would come to be an integral part of life for many of the modern day people. In both cases it was important for adults to read the current trends and create an inner picture of what the future world would be like. Then it was time to educate and train their children for this future world.

Current trends and conditions are indicating that in the future we are likely to have a drastic change in our lifestyle. In the past when large empires and so called developed countries collapsed people returned to the old human standby, the agrarian based cottage farming lifestyle. There are many signs that would indicate such a transition is about to take place in our system. Some of these signs are a falling fertility rate, the inevitable economic collapse of a debt based economy, collapsing healthcare systems, pollution, degradation of the food supply, psychological and physiological disorders, obesity, a loss of primary labor based skills and depletion of finite resources. Given the widespread nature of these many indicators of a systemic collapse there is at least a strong possibly that the world that we live in is undergoing some drastic changes. There is as least a reasonable chance that our system will collapse completely. Which means that we will be put in the position of creating new systems to meet our needs.

Because this possibility is sort of hanging out there people are now living with a lot of distress, worry and fear over that their way of life appears to becoming to an end. Preparation is the best remedy for these maladies. Knowing that small community based agrarian lifestyle is always an option for people to return to is a great place to start. If we accept that the agrarian based cottage farming lifestyle is the default position, the natural lifestyle of the human being then we know what to start preparing for. The fact is that a group of people living in a small agrarian community can thrive in just about any place on the planet.

The fact is that change is difficult. Change involves uncertainty and for the human being uncertainty causes stress and fear. However, if you start to make some adjustments to your lifestyle now and you begin to develop confidence and skills related to the cottage farming lifestyle you will take some of the bite out of this possibly transition. Even if the our current consumer based system does not fail the cottage farming lifestyle has many benefits that you will be able to experience while still depending on our current system. If our consumer based system does collapse then you will know that there is an alternative system available to you. You will also have some experience of success of working with this system. It is always better to have some training and experience when faced with a new challenge.

My family and I have been working to make this transition for depending on our current system to living a more natural cottage farming based lifestyle. If you are looking to make this transition yourself either partially or fully we have developed a counseling model complete with techniques, exercises and goal setting to help you make this transition.
