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

OUR WORLD IS A TRAIN-WRECK!
The long-established world order, already fragile and increasingly unstable, was totally derailed by the global coronavirus pandemic.
As the world recovers, the 'powers-that-be'  : big business, big government, big finance, are frantically trying 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 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 have 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;  i .e. what if we could: RE-THINK / RE-SET / RESTORE?

"Dead fish float with the current; live fish swim against it"   - as they say.

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 . . .
