This wiki was created in 2012 for Frank Ruymen at Plukrijp in Belgium to create draft of a book he planned to collaboratively create, called “Permaculture, the science, understanding & practice of life: Dedicated to Gregory Bateson's 'Steps to an ecology of mind'”. Apart from the preliminary table of contents and a few texts it never happened and unfortunately will never happen after Frank passed away. Since even Plukrijp website is no longer online check at lease my Masters' thesis about Plukrijp at https://brozkeff.net/thesis as it is a complex story of people and way of living at that permaculture community in 2012, at the time this wiki and project were also created.

In addition to this project the wiki was used in 2012 as a place for storing notes from a study group and webinar with Elías Capriles.

WEBINAR: Beyond Being, Beyond Mind, Beyond History 2012

A philosophical study group/seminar done in 2012. Permaculture and Sustainability from the standpoint of Eastern thought (Buddhism and Dzogchen), mostly reflecting work of Elías Capriles.

Raison d'être

… to allow to really understand …

Permaculture is the “permanent culture”, which is almost the opposite of the current culture…

Mind-map

The mind map is updated independently on the actual content on this wiki, so it may become outdated. Consider the “hierarchical structure” as merely provisional and very rough, with many things relating to many other things, etc. Maybe you could propose a better system of ordering the issues covered there?

Source code of the mind-map (FreeMind), Flash version

Dimitri started another mindmap from scratch, trying to be more systematic.
