[object Object],Breaking  Down New Walls 10th Annual Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates ,  Berlin,  November, 9-11 2009    Third session:  Walls of menace to the Environment   Breaking down the walls that constrain environmental and sustainable development prospects). [ Audio and Video ] New  Science, new Language, new Thinking ?   HOW ABOUT?  OLD and proven, traditional and NEW  Thinking and Doing and Sharing ?
Whoever imagines  mental   deep permeable barriers  which actually do not exist    and then thinks them away,  has understood the world.  As space is entrapped  in geometry's network of lines,   thought is caught in its (own) inherent laws.   Maps make the world comprehensible to us;   we are still waiting for  the star-maps of the spirit.   In the same way than ambling through fields     we risk getting lost,  the spirit negotiates its terrain. Friedrich Rückert,  Wisdom of the Brahmins, a didactic poem,  Charles T. Brooks in 1882 – above is unfortunately only a clumsy first translation by Robinson/Benking  as we could only get hold of the original German version. this is a critical translation issue:  WALLS & BOUNDARIES  are „man-made“ – They have no equivalent in Nature. The term Schranken therefore can be translated  as restraining bounds, or semiphors, barriers & temporary permeable or translucent / transparent material/strata/membranes/transition zones). Friedrich Rückert Die Weisheit des Brahmanen,  ein Lehrgedicht in Bruchstücken Werke, Band 2, Leipzig und Wien [1897], S. 50-51.

UN – ECOSOC- AMR 2008:  http://www.quergeist.net/AMR-2008/ http://www.un.org/ecosoc/newfunct/Responses_in_Full-Part_I.pdf N) Proposal for  Anna- Lindh -Foundation ,  European – Mediteranian Countries, Berlin-Alexandria 2008.  Transcultural  Dialog and Peace-Making Roundtable learning from experience during the last 40 years and new ideas   Stumbling blocks preventing true dialog, peace-making, and reconciliation: 1)  we fight over words but do not check the meaning, 2)  we do not question and compare the values attached to statements and attitudes,  3)  we do not contextualize and embody concepts and meaning, do not check the sectors, regions, scales, proportions and consequences of alternative actions,  4)  we do not give voice, empower, listen, cherish and cultivate difference or variety in dialog and decision making,  5)  Disorientation and dumbing-down in Cyberculture and a mis-administered and misunderstood, intangible “ Globalisation /  Glocalisation ”: Where we get overloaded by communication noise (sign/symbol melange) and media demagogy which means: no trust and fidelity in the statements and no ways and means to check the credibility and impact/relevance, and get lost between the scales, brackets, and sectors. 6)  The above incompatibility and incomparability opens the door for over-claims and oversimplifications. Leaders use intangible jargon (plastic-words), neglect impacts and avoid instead of exploring differences and alternatives.                           e – DISCUSSION ON ACHIEVING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT "Implementing the internationally  agreed goals and commitments  in regard to sustainable development" .
Input statement for the  Open Forum – Open-Space  “Pitching”Section: The Need for Synthesis, Synopsis and Shared Action  in view of the outcomes of 20+ years of  Global Change  exercises: Challenges, Orientations, Lessons Learned, and the need for  Participation Opportunities and Options  Heiner  Benking Journalist, long-time experience with global issues, event planning, strategy advising Secretary of the  Council of Global Issues  and the  Tagore-Einstein Council Vegetarianism : Essential to Save  the  Planet?    Sunday, Dec 13th, Copenhagen UNFCCC COP 15
