My purpose, and the whole Holomovement concept came to me through the impetus of a professor in college and was actually sociology professor, Dr. Jeffrey Hadden. And he explained to our class that there were enormous challenges facing the world. This was way back in the 1970s. So his ideas were rather revolutionary at the time, and he described an exponential graph over time and quantities on the vertical axis.
And he plotted in all kinds of components of quantities world population, environmental deterioration, technology, G, armament growth. And he put them all together and he showed that everything is time. If we go back to the year zero and we graph it slowly, all of these quantities grow slowly. And then as we hit the 20th century, the curve goes straight upwards in the growth of many factors.
Some could be beneficial technology we don’t know yet, but others population, environmental deterioration, armaments and and such are clearly negative indicators. And what he said is we’re running literally out of time as the graph moves straight upwards on the exponential curve, the time graph falls out of the picture. So a very clear message there that we’re literally running out of time.
And he proposed to the class that as sociology students, we needed to find a solution. What could we as individuals do or contribute in our life to help resolve this matter crisis? And that was our assignment. So that’s what really got me thinking about this. And I described at the time in my paper for that course that it had to be some kind of wheel and that all the spokes of the wheels were different contributors or organizations, like minded entities contributing.
And that my work should be to create a solid hub to connect the spokes of the wheel. So it would flow. It would work and the hub would hold it all together. So that was the original concept.
