IT IS TIME!   TIME TO RE-THINK.   TIME TO RE-SET.   TIME TO RESTORE.

LETS FACE IT - OUR BEAUTIFUL WORLD IS A TRAIN-WRECK!
The long-established world order, already fragile and increasingly unstable, was totally derailed a few years ago by the global coronavirus pandemic.
As the world recovered, the 'powers-that-be' -big business, big government, big finance, - frantically tried to put the pieces back together and salvage from the wreckage as much as possible of the old ways.  Even worse, whenever they can they are now rebuilding with added benefit to themselves, at any cost to anything and anyone except them and theirs.

But what if the old ways are the problem?
What if it was not all about money, markets and me, me, me? What if the different perspectives on life that dealing with the pandemic revealed to us can help us to put the pieces back in a new way?
What if what we learned can point us towards a new world order - more compassionate, more equal, more peaceful, more sustainable, more healthy, more gentle - in short, more human : the world as it was always meant to be? 
What if we could: RE-THINK / RE-SET / RESTORE?

Recovery is being made more difficult by the horrors of international aggression, which is impacting global politics and economics. Many more people are taking a narrower, polarised,  world-view : one which is centred upon their own little world,  ensuring their own wellbeing whatever the cost to others - and to the planet. As a result there is a loss of focus upon the big picture and the over-riding issues of our time : the future well-being of mother-ship Earth and all who inhabit her.
All the more reason why we now need a joined-up approach to getting the train-wreck back on track.

As the saying goes: "Dead fish float with the current; live fish swim against it" 

Change like this never comes from the top downwards; it always begins with grass-roots determination.

POEGTAP is an initiative aimed at doing just that, and we hope that, with your help, this website will become its handbook.  

The plan is that we kick-start it with some themes, and then folk chip in with their own ideas, source material and experiences to help to build up a resource for a new way of living.

 

'PEACE ON EARTH, GOODWILL TO ALL PEOPLE'  IS NOT A RELIGIOUS MANTRA NOR A POLITICAL SLOGAN.  IT IS, QUITE SIMPLY, THE ONLY WAY FOR US TO LIVE TOGETHER ON THIS PLANET. 

Here are our seven broad themes for a joined-up approach to living a better life : OUR 7-POINT POEGTAP 'HUMANIFESTO' 

 Peace on earth begins with me.
One world. One natural order. One humanity.
Earth, ecology, stewardship and responsible lifestyle.
Goodwill to all people. Always.
Teaching and training : wisdom learned and wisdom passed on.
Asylum, sanctuary and respect.
Personal well-being : body, mind and spirit.

These are the seven main principles of Poegtap.
They are very loosely framed to cover as broad a curriculum as possible, and of course there is a degree of overlap.
The Poegtap Community welcomes anyone who shares these concerns, and who is interested in exploring together how to make a difference. We invite you to explore these pages to find out more . . .
