The Future of Humanity – Inspired by the Past

Why did it come to this? Why the need for an Organic Earth? There is hope! Let’s go back to the beginning of knowledge as we perceive it. For thousands of years man lived and survived in a world that was pristine and pure. All living species were equal, from the land to the sea and some, like humans were nomadic in nature. The earth in its infinite stages had always been “survival of the fittest.”
If you do some research you will find that man up until 200 years ago gained little in knowledge while technology advanced slowly over generations. Somewhere along the way the human brain evolved enough to understand that his mental capabilities were superior to other creatures. Thus, as man evolved man became “the steward of the earth.”
His intelligence discovered techniques to create shelters and to become harvesters of land and sea. For thousands of years man survived in balance with nature. He migrated to favorable climates and everything was 100% organic. Man neither influenced nor dictated future outcomes. Life was simple.
The Turning Point
As the Earth became more populated, man developed small social communities such as villages and tribes. In the past, we were nomadic and everything remained aerobic (oxygen and life bearing). As the centuries flew by, hundreds of thousands of people concentrated in these communities. As the population increased, nature, in all her wisdom reminded us that if you keep dumping waste and fecal matter on the streets SHE WILL FIGHT BACK. To put this in perspective, history provides us with the examples. What was one of the largest natural killers of all time? The Black Death. Why did it happen in an organic world? The conditions became anaerobic (lack of oxygen and life). We all heard it came from rats. What caused the plague to be spread through rats? Fleas were infected with deadly bacteria and literally hitched a ride on rats and spread throughout Europe. What occurred evolved from mass populations in symbiotic human and rat ecosystems. Millions perished in what some called “the end of times.” Due to this plague, many people became nomadic once again. They understood that from the masses came disease. This is one major problem that is still occurring today.
What is the strongest human instinct that we have? To live. Over and above everything else, survival is the key. This is one instinct that is shared by all living creatures.
What happened next? As man gained in wisdom, he found that he could outwit nature using technology. Thus, what was once a natural selection of life no longer became a factor. This was the first turning point of mankind. This is where man no longer relied upon nature and decided to go chemical. Who could blame us; life was precious and no one wanted their loved ones to perish. Now everyone was on the same playing field due to advances in medical technology.
As the decades grew, the population grew. Antibiotics were the new savior for our society. Then more advanced antibiotics replaced the old due to mutations of bacteria. We vaccinate our children in order for them to go to school because in crowded schools, bacteria and viruses flourish. We take flu shots to hold off the next set of mutated flu viruses that are continually becoming stronger and more complicated. Face it folks: we are now nothing but a chemical manufacturing plant for viruses. For decades we have been piling drugs and chemicals in our bodies, but that’s okay; you are still alive, aren’t you? Are you beginning to get the picture? Okay, maybe not. Let us take it one step further.
Step 1
Remember the Black Plague? What a blessing we have today with septic tanks and garbage facilities. Do you think human fecal matter is chemical-free after passing through a treatment facility? No. Where do they go? Landfills. Do you know that some cities have mountains of human chemical waste, or as they call it in the industry, bio-solids?
Step 2
What about animal waste? If you feed them chemical foods, what happens to their waste? Hog farms on the East Coast of the United States have fecal draining off into bays causing an outbreak of “Fish Killer.” Look that one up on the Internet.
Step 3
What about farms? This is shameful. Worldwide, we have a problem here. As the masses grew, we had to provide the country and the world with food. It is not a matter of nutrition, but of bulk yields. Genetically modified seeds (GMOs) and synthetically fed crops have become the norm. Making crops grow faster and produce a larger yield has been the objective. Who cares what this is doing to the environment , it is not my problem, right? Let the next generation worry about that. Nitrogen, Potassium, Potash; the big three. Who cares about nitrate build up in our aquifers and water ways. Not my problem, right? Let the next generation deal with this. OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND is our current motto.
These are the cards that we have been dealt. We go to the supermarket and everything is prepackaged with preservatives (more chemicals)and little nutritional value. We have to take daily supplements to reach our recommended daily value because these organic nutrients are not always found in our foods. Fresh vegetables from mass produced farms; did you ever think about the water they are pumping from the ground and the synthetic chemicals, which we feed to the plants so they can survive? Did we mess that up too?
I understand why we did it back then and why we continue to do so today, but do we have to do it forever? I am tired of hearing about my friends with cancer; their health undermined by unclear water and a lack of proper nutrition. We are surrounded by a world of synthetics where very little is natural anymore. Organics are considered hysterical to some. Call it as you may, but the reality still exists. I have always said that mankind is in for the battle of his life when it comes to a healthy existence.
What am I really trying to say? As an intelligent person, you have the ability to make decisions for your family and for your children’s children. At present, Organic Earth, LLC possesses technologies that can produce a 100% all natural plant food formula that creates 100% organic plants. Will everyone follow us into the next generation? Probably not, but I always find myself wondering “as a steward of the earth, did I do my part?” Remember, you are what you eat and what you consume creates you.
The Vision
I foresee if man is given adequate time a movement that will feed our families using and focusing on local community farming. These farms will have members raising food and isolating their crops from all outside negative elements. Businesses will spring up and economic opportunities will develop from this enterprise. Bands of organic growers and their families will purchase land and grow organic foods for their own consumption and for resale. High-rise apartments will have in-home hydroponics, hanging plants, and/or small greenhouses.
Eventually, corporate farming will join in; converting to REAL organic fields. In many areas, pests are a determining factor and pesticides are required for the success of agriculture. I do foresee many farms turning to massive amounts of pesticides due to pest outbreaks. Remember, pests are chemically resistant as well. What farmers need to realize is that plants have their own immune systems. Do we keep developing bigger and more advanced pesticides that will cause more problems for humanity and the Earth down the road or do we let nature provide the answers? Nature has a plan for all living species. Do you believe that man makes the rules or nature? What we do know is that in the past, nature has had the final say. In the future? If we place our trust in nature today, it will take generations to undo the damage. There is no quick fix. Many generations of abuse have accumulated, and many generations will pass before we can return to an organic species. I CALL THIS THE ENLIGHTENMENT.
My friends, I understand your confusion and reluctance to make a change so dramatic. You want someone else to step up to the plate and make a difference first. This takes the heat off of you. I am in the seafood business as well and have dedicated my life to producing natural foods for all to cherish. I am a hardcore believer in natural biology and never making decisions politically. In a world of mass confusion, do not rely on a government or its politicians to handle these decisions. Hopefully, they can help, but the decision is ultimately yours. Just like detoxifying your body, we must detoxify the earth. Each one of us can make a difference.
