Priorities of life necessities – a special chapter!

What is possible to change immediately in the society IV.
The first will be the last and the last will be the first!
Many a reader will surely ask how these spiritually meant words are connected with the priorities of the present living necessities. How they are linked with the wholly material means of living consumption which surround us here in the world of matter.
For better comprehension, we are going to show here a few examples of what can still be considered today as general priority everyday means of our life and on the other hand we are also going to show which of these means have a really higher value for the future and should gain in reality the mentioned priority of our interest.
1) Medicaments and sanitary supplies
We are used to an almost superstandard service of today´s pharmacy network. Those sanitary aids and medicines that we need for our healthy life we can buy immediately the next morning. What we purchase as a supply, is in most cases subject to the influence of the advertisements offering miscellaneous supportive medical means against cold, cough, catarrh, herpeses and such like. Yet a domestic first-aid kit providing basic sanitary material (pressure bandage, bandages, iodine and plasters) should be a part of every responsible household. It has been approved that a minimum standard of the pharmaceutical equipment for households should approach in due proportion the equipage of one car emergency kit for each adult household member. Of course, everything should be supplemented by medicines prescribed by the doctor and basic pain killers, remedies against nausea, cold and indigestion. A package corresponding in size to one car emergency kit for one person should be the basic equipment of each household for the case of unexpected events. At the same time also the knowledge of basic medicinal herbs and their usage should be a matter-of-course for at least one of the household members. What we especially mean is the basic experience of our grandmas with herbs.
2) Food
Also in the field of groceries, we have learned in our society to live mostly on a very high level of provision during the last seventeen years. Moreover, many of us have got used to even luxurious conditions in this area.
Unfortunately, just a small percentage of us are able today to eat frugally, using the basic sources of wheat, fruit and vegetables. Yet the more long-term preservation – storage of these food products is the least demanding in terms of external energetic sources.
Most inhabitansts are more or less separated from the possibility and often also the knowledge of how to grow and store fruit, vegetables and herbs. Not to speak of rearing small domestic animals. Food self-insufficiency is thus more and more visible not only on the state level but especially on the level of today´s households. That is the reason why we recommend all households as the first step to exchange the supplies dependent on the external sources of energy for those that need to be kept just in a dry, dark and slightly cold place, which means for the cereal products, vegetable and fruit juices, dried fruit, pickled vegetables. In the case of family houses with a garden, we recommend to detach a certain part of the property for creating a utility and breeding garden. Also the knowledge of forest fruit and mushrooms should not be just an occasional hobby but fundamental knowledge as a part of substitute nourishment.
3) Housing
Today´s standard of living in our flats pushes its bars still higher and higher in the area of luxury. This applies to all the levels of social stratification. We are accustomed to living pleasantly and comfortably. But nowadays it is no rule to possess high-quality hiking equipment, consisting of quality sleeping bags, a tent, a rucksack and other accessories like a field folding trowel, a wood hatchet, a big knife, a quality flashlight and everything else that belongs to the basic equipment for survival in nature. Now it is good to add all this to the wise equipment of today´s household as well.
4) Kitchen
The current range of domestic kitchen appliances is so wide that it makes many a man´s head spin around when he accidentally opens one of the catalogues of the individual branded companies.
However, what can be considered an approved kitchen tool of constant value in terms of permanent usability? It is all kinds of hand mills, hand fruit juicers, hand presses and cereal grinders. Therefore it is up to every reader´s consideration to purchase these hand tools to extend the equipment of their otherwise certainly very modern kitchen. From the perspective of the future usability for maintaining our existence, such equipment may play the most important role one day.
5) Means of transport
Nowadays buying a new car or at least a used car in a good condition is a matter of interest of many people. The offered range of cars is – as it seems – very wide, especially these days. It is perhaps impossible for the interested person not to choose one.
However, what really should be the matter of our interest from the view of the future? A bicycle! We recommend to get a bicycle that has the most necessary equipment for riding in an off-the-main-roads terrain.
Getting a bycicle is not unconditionally meant as a motive for indulging in intensive cycling today. It is meant as a form of motion which is completely independent from any other energetic source except our own human body.
Even a non-trained man in at least medium health condition is able to cycle 20 km a day in case of necessity. Moreover, he is able to carry with him also up to 15 kg of load. An at least a little trained man can carry with him a multiple of his own weight whereas he is able to ride up to 50 km a day.
A bycicle, either men´s or ladies´, is according to its purchase price these days just an ideal means of transport which should belong to the priorities of our living necessities.
6) Communication
The telephone and internet communication have never before been as widespread in the human society on the Earth as they are right now. And it seems as if the human society was never able to change anything about it in the future. In spite of this we recommend everybody to learn how to hand down information to others frugally and plainly, focussing on expressing everything we need to say as clearly as possible within just one sentence. Let us learn to concentrate our thoughts into the clearest concentrated form of a few precise words!
At the same time we shall work on the development of our speaking abilities, rid of unintelligible foreign expressions. We shall develop also the form of hand-written word. Who wants to go even further, then he can practise already now the use of Morse code. It will definitely not be pointless.
7) Energy
The state of energy reserves which are being used by mankind today seems to be inexhaustible. There have never been more electrical appliances on the Earth than there are today. There seems to be enough of everything and the availability of energies is proportional just to the solvency of each individual man or household. Despite all these current, at first sight positive indicators, we offer everybody to try to live a month, a week or at least a day of existing with minimal dependance on the mentioned energetic sources in the place where we live and work, in the place of our home. Those who have the necessary possibilities can also provide their homes with a mobile source of energy or another alternative (water, wind, ...) source of energy or mechanic energy. Those sources of energy that will be able to produce energy by working based on plant-oil or bio grain alcohol drive will be in advantage.
+1) The most important thing
The current way of existence of global society is, in the first place, based on the values associated with the financial abilities of the individual, family or state. So this nowadays state has been based on the principle of success in areas of mainly material kind for very long. In this respect, potentiated exactly by its long run, this state still appears today to be a natural, by market management directed system automatically determining also the values in the society. Thus today´s social system is considered as the only correct one.
This state, however, is derived from the lowest principle of life on the Earth, from the principle of fight in nature. Therefore this attitude necessarily neglects the spiritual essence of man. The essence that in accordance with all the Creation bears deeply in its spiritual innerself the desire for co-operation, compassion and responsible protection of everything weaker.
If a great turning point is coming in the near future, rectifying this unplanned deviation from the original spiritual life on the Earth to the material life, equalling a beastly fight among people in its manifestations, then very much of the current will necessarily have to undergo a change. Together with that the state will also come when the mentioned spiritual qualities of man will be valued more than purposeless material abilities.
Thus we recommend everybody to develop their qualities of spirit fully in their inner selves already now. The abilities of sentiment, which as the only ones make a man into a true man.
So in the above mentioned 7 + 1 points, we offer all the readers who in their lives search for the values of eternal kind, the values whose message surpasses the material scope of the world, a certain view into the future to think about.
The above mentioned points thematically deal with the things that might appear to many people in their successful present as the last things, i.e. as the means lying at the very end of the scale of their priorities. But especially for this reason we used at the beginning of this text those words: “The first will be the last, and the last will be the first!“
Of course, we leave up to everybody how they will use these ideas for consideration each for him- or herself. In fact, they have not been published here to be followed in a thoughtless, dull way. This would help nothing and nobody in the sense of the demands of the wise Will of the Creator. A transformation of man shall always start first on the spiritual level, in the recognition and respecting of the Laws of the Creation. Everybody must master this in the first place, before he or she starts to deal with accomplishing anything else.
Only then it is possible to accept the other points as ideas for further consideration.
For this reason, we will be also very glad if you write to us yourselves concerning other ideas for deepening and broadening the contents of the above mentioned points. We will be delighted to publish any meaningful ideas, advice and incentives containing logic and wisdom on the websites of the AO-Institute further to this text.
