Identity

Our society is anonymous. It is inhumane, a breeding ground for dictatorship and tyranny because unfortunately everyone tends by nature to lead a life in the herd, a sheep-like existence, thus making it all the easier for the powers that be to keep tabs on us.

For this reason, the creativity of the individual is of utmost importance. Against this creativity all force is powerless; the powerful are more afraid of it than of demonstrating crowds.

The true democratisation of man means that he must now develop further creatively.

Only with creativity can the human race move forward. Individual creativity and individual responsibility for all forms of life, for the true values, are what shape society.

Identity is the protection of individual human dignity and self-reliant small-scale activity as a precondition for the autonomous development of art, nature and architecture and, correspondingly, the aspirations of man.

Identity serves to preserve tried-and-true inherited values.

Ecology

The relationship man-vegetation must become religious.

Only when you love the tree as yourself will you survive.

Only he who lives according to the laws of nature and creation cannot fail.

It is your duty to use all means to help spontaneous vegetation be instated in its rights.

Homo-Humus-Humanitas, three fateful words having the same origin.

We must strive for a peace treaty with nature,

the only superior creative power on which man depends.

This

Peace Treaty with Nature

would have to contain at least the following points:

1. We must learn the language of nature in order to reach an understanding with her.

2. We must give back territories to nature which we have misappropriated unlawfully and devastated, for example according to the principle: everything which is horizontal under the open sky belongs to nature.

3. Tolerance of spontaneous vegetation.

4. The creation of man and the creation of nature must be reunited. The schism of these creations has had catastrophic consequences for nature and man.

5. Life in harmony with the laws of nature.

6.  We are only the guests of nature and must behave accordingly.
Man is the most dangerous pest ever to devastate the earth.
Man must put himself behind ecological barriers so that the earth can regenerate.

7.  Human society must again become a waste-free society.
For only he who honours his own waste and re-uses it in a waste-free society transforms death into life and has the right to live on this earth.
Because he respects the cycle and allows the rebirth of life to occur.
