We bioregionalists and deep ecologists are all working, albeit in a disjointed and differentiated way, on a change in society. In general, as I understand from the situations I find myself in, it seems very difficult to find synergies of purpose and disinterested collaboration. This is due to the fact that each of us has formed a particular idea of what the priorities must be to implement this "change".
I believe that, to continue with common action, it is necessary to renounce any form of hierarchical and structured aggregation by operating in terms of small arable network actions, hoping that over time and with the maturation of collective consciousness the conditions suitable for a “directed” but spontaneous.
The important thing is not to give up and continue with disinterested action to the extent possible, allowing the conditions for an elective collaboration to be created in every situation, in the awareness of the common goal, and at the same time knowing that every "association" lasts for a long time. limited completion of the action in progress.
But from this reflection I would like to draw some considerations on some aspects of the society in which we live: "only a weak personality needs simulacra with which to identify", and this is precisely what happens in those who, hopefully, reflect themselves only in the ideal specific and limited that they love! This attitude is often passively and uncritically imitative, and can take root in men of weak spirit, with a strong vocation for external identification, who want to realize their own plan.
And the common interest?
From the point of view of synthesis it should be found in adherence to the concept of "common good". In this regard, Goethe's thought from God and the World comes to mind: "To orient yourself in the Infinite / you must distinguish and then unite".
It is true that the mind of the capable man, in such times, longs to escape solitude and produce positive results. But it is also important to have the inner greatness that allows us to tolerate even imperfect people. If one attempted to oppose evil with the usual means the resulting collapse would be disastrous with consequent humiliation.
To better clarify the situation of this "historical moment" (which does not only belong to the season but also to the moral maturation of man), I report here, once again, a teaching of the sage Ramana Maharshi relating to social harmony.
“A society is the organism; its constituent members are the limbs that perform its functions. A member thrives when he is loyal in service to society as a well-coordinated organ functions in the organism. While faithfully serving the community, in thought, word and deed, a member of the community should promote his cause to other members of the community, making them aware and inducing them to be faithful to the society, as a form of progress for the latter.

Noi bioregionalisti ed ecologisti profondi stiamo tutti lavorando, sia pure in modo disgiunto e differenziato, ad un cambiamento della società. In generale, per come capisco dalle situazioni in cui mi vengo a trovare sembra molto difficile poter trovare sinergie d’intenti e collaborazione disinteressata. Ciò è dovuto al fatto che ognuno di noi si è fatto un’idea particolare di quelle che debbono essere le priorità per attuare questo “cambiamento”.
