This is the fundamental definition of the expression "
Global Community" first defined by myself and my wife Virginie in 1985.
This definition includes all people, all life on Earth.
It also implicitly says that no-one in particular owns the Earth but we all own it together.
Not just us people, but all life on Earth owns it. The beginning of life
stretches as far back as 4 billion years, and so Life claims its birthright of ownership of Earth, and so does the Soul of all Life, the Soul of Humanity.
Throughout this
dialogue the land ownership of the Earth means ownership of the land and of all other Earth natural resources.
"A global community" is not about a piece of land you acquired by force or otherwise. One could think of a typical community that does not have to be bounded by a geographical or political
border. It can be people living in many different locations all over the world. The Global Community is thus more fluid and dynamic. We need to let go the archaic ways of seeing a community as the
street where we live and contained by a border. Many conflicts and wars will be avoided by seeing ourselves as people with a heart, a mind and a Soul, and as part of a community with the same.
The old concept of a community being the street where we live in and surrounded by a definite geographical and political boundary has originated during the Roman Empire period. An entire new system of
values was then created to make things work for the Roman Empire. Humanity has lived with this concept over two thousand years. Peoples from all over the world are ready to kill anyone challenging their
border. They say that this is their land, their property, their 'things'. This archaic concept is endangering humanity and its survival. The Roman Empire has gone but its culture is still affecting us today. We
need to let go the old way of thinking. We need to learn of the new concept, and how it can make things work in the world.
A typical community may be what a group of people, together, wants it to be. It can be a group of people sharing with the same values. It can be a group of people with the same cultural background, or the
same religious background. Or they can be people with totally different backgrounds and beliefs. The people making a global community may be living in many different locations on the planet. With today's
communications it is easy to group people in this fashion. It can be a village, or two villages together where people have decided to unite as one community. The two villages may be found in different parts of
the world. It can be a town, a city, or a nation. It can be two or more nations together.
Following this thinking we see land ownership is no longer a problem. The Earth and all its natural resources belong to all the "global communities" contained therein.
A village, or a city is "a global community" and owns the land around its boundaries. Along with the Global Community, it has ownership of all natural resources within its boundaries.
We will see in the Preview how this new system can work.
As mentioned above, land here, by definition, covers all naturally occurring resources like surface land, minerals deposits (gold, oil and gas etc), water, electromagnetic spectrum, the
trees, fish in the seas and rivers. It is unjust to treat land as private property. Land is not a product of labor. Everyone should therefore be given equal
access to such natural resources.
On the global level the Law of the Seas Covenant is an example of a global community lease payment basis for public needs as it has affirmed that ocean resources are the
common heritage of all and a proper source of funding for global institutions. Water belongs to the Earth and all species and is sacred to life therefore, the world’s water must be conserved, reclaimed and protected for all future
generations and its natural patterns respected.
Water is a fundamental human right and a public trust to be guarded by all levels of government; therefore, it should not be commodified, privatized or
traded for commercial purposes. These rights must be enshrined at all levels of government. In particular, an international treaty must ensure these
principles are noncontrovertable.
Water is best protected by local communities and citizens, who must be respected as equal partners with governments in the protection and regulation of
water. Peoples of the Earth are the only vehicle to promote democracy and save water.
Similarly, all the Earth natural resources belong to the Global Community to be used, developed and conserved for the maximum benefit of the people and of all
life.
The Global Community should set up expert groups and begin the necessary intergovernmental
negotiations towards establishing alternative revenue sources, which could include fees for the commercial use of the oceans, fees for airplane use of the
skies, fees for use of the electromagnetic spectrum, fees levied on foreign exchange transactions, and a tax on carbon content of fuels.
This thinking should give us a fresh start for a better future and bring some light to understanding previous claims of the many different
groups such as:
-
Native and aboriginal people claiming that their ancestors owned the land so now they do
-
God gave it to us so the land is ours
-
Property ownership system of the Roman Empire to today, our social-economic system of land owership
-
The military power of this world forcing ownership of land and of all other Earth natural resources against the will of everyone else
Only the Global Community can rightfully claim ownership of the Earth.
Along with ownership comes the obligation of using the resources, sharing them or losing them.
Land and all other Earth natural resources are not commodities.
Use the land, share it or lose it. This principle also applies to banks and similar institutions
all over the world. You own property
because the previous owners could not pay. Use that property, share it or lose it.

None of the above groups can claim ownership of the land and other Earth natural resources. They never did own the land and of all other Earth natural resources. And they never will.
Only the Global Community can rightfully claim ownership of the Earth.
Along with ownership comes the obligation of using the resources, share them or lose them.
Land and all other Earth natural resources are not commodities.
Use the land, share it or lose it. This principle also applies to banks and similar institutions
all over the world. You own property
because the previous owners could not pay. Use that property, share it or lose it.
The theme of this Global Dialogue being "The planet-Life-Soul of Humanity symbiotical relationship", we will see how the relationship can help
this generation of young people and the next ones to remain healthy.
The young people of to-day are interested in all the secret wisdom behind all the existing religions and sifting out the common truths. They seek the best of the best. They are
aware of the Soul of Humanity and have established a spiritual symbiotical relationship with it, and thus with God. They seek the exaltation and merging of their Souls into one to gain strength, friendship,
creativity, love and light.
Their childhood conditioning has prepared them to act on a firm understanding of what it takes to get along with others, working as a group.
They are educated to understand a broad panorama of human truths ~ all those universal needs and rights every one shares. The Scale of Human and Earth Rights has become an inner truth and the
benchmark of the millennium in how they see all values. The Earth Court of Justice brings security, peace and justice for all. They no longer fear the unknown as Justice is for everyone and is
everywhere, a universal constant. The Global Justice Movement for all life is now driven by these young people.
They see money for what it is - energy to use for good.
Their idea of power is power over Self.
Each and every Self is dedicated to an idea for good that others can share together in creating this new Eden. Doing good and the well-being of the "other" have become the basic building block of any
symbiotical relationship.
What we have here is the birth of genuine group concern and unconditional support for the individual's well-being ~ a giant leap in human behaviour which could well change the functioning of global
communities everywhere. We are becoming the human family. This new "philosophy of life" of the Global Community has made grounds in people's way of life.
What we have here is the age of global co-operation and symbiotical relationships of all types for the good of all. An age with a mind, a heart and a Soul of its own. A unique and wonderful age never seen
before over the entire human history! An age with a vision to caring for life and Earth! An age of the Soul!
However, we have reached the deplorable circumstance where in large measure
a very powerful few are in possession of the Earth's resources virtually without taxation.
Whoever owns the land and all other natural resources exerts power over those who are landless and no resources. The Global Community proposes to
extend democratic principles to include the ownership and control
of the Earth. The Global Economic Model was created for all
the people on the planet. The model makes sure that the
rights of all people and the rights of the planet are one and the same.
The Global Economic Model stipulates as well that we, as human beings, are trustees and caretakers
of all other life forms on Earth.
The Global Economic Model is global, as people are freed to move beyond
borders and boundaries and claim the whole Earth as their birthplace.
How the Earth should be owned is the major economic question of this
time. The world should be owned not just by the people living in it but by all life on Earth and the Soul of Life, the Soul of Humanity.
Unless a reformed or empowered Global Parliament is leading firmly upon
the principle of equal rights for the Global Community, then the planet
will be controlled by a handful of vested interests.
Land here, by definition, covers all naturally occurring resources like
surface land, minerals deposits (gold, oil etc), water, electromagnetic
spectrum, the trees, fish in the seas and rivers. It is unjust to treat
land as private property. Land is not a product of labor. Everyone should
therefore be given equal access to natural resources.
The Global Economic Model proposes to make private property the product of labor. Common property
is all what Nature offers. The Global Economic Model policy removes
taxes from wages and increases taxes and user
fees on common property.
The model eliminates subsidies that are environmentally or socially
harmful, and inequitable.
