Our Approach to Innovation

Energy, Frequency and Vibration

Tesla said:  “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”

How does this understanding translate into the world of form and manifested devices — technology serving nature?

Foundational in the Green Oasis Now approach to design is empathic awareness of energy, frequency and vibration, however the mechanisms of our technology are to be applied.

All solutions derive from the proper observation of energy, frequency and vibration relative to the situation.  There is no reason for unnecessary problems to exist.

Proper observation allows us to envision new possibilities.

There is a point at which the visionary and the now meet and begin to dance together.   

When this occurs, tangible creation can take place

Envisionings

Our approach to innovation is inspired by our envisionings.  Our point of view is one of interconnectedness.

Given environmental and societal issues, we feel that it is common sense to imagine and envision nature as a lush garden within which all creatures thrive.

To create that garden, what is nature asking for?  Optimized well being. Harmony.  Balance.

We imagine a world in which we select, from future possibilities, the lush garden — and thriving within it — and simply see where we are to go to help create it.  This is similar to choosing a particular mountain trail and knowing the destination.

We don't set out to invent anything. Rather, we see a need (the destination) and then develop a way (the trail) to meet the need (arrive at the destination).

Solutions

We begin by creating technology to serve nature — gently and respectfully.

Since everything is energy (including plants and creatures), the only sane way to interact is through empathy and compassion because that creates the best outcome and harmony for every level of life form involved.

What serves nature also serves humanity.

Design Principles

The proper approach is to meticulously think things through before starting.

Design refinements involve having the fewest moving parts to accomplish the intended purpose, as well as simplicity within every plug and play component.

Through this process craftsmanship, science and technology combine to a point of ultra finesse.  This allows the creation of individualized precision parts that work in harmony and symbiosis to produce the desired result.

The Wave of Positive Change

A wave of unprecedented innovation and change is sweeping the planet.

The recognition of a desire for better solutions — together with receptivity to those solutions — has been growing, correspondent with the obvious need to do something about environmental and societal issues.

The wave of the future is co-creative.  With resilience we adapt to changing circumstances by developing innovative solutions.

Ongoing technological advancements continue to make our Green Oasis Now projects more cost effective, while also shortening lead times.  For example:  Specific aspects of our systems that we have had under consideration for many years — as necessary to our overall development — are now appearing as new products in the marketplace.

Broadly-scoped co-creation is a gateway to a new future!

I continued reading quietly from my father’s extensive library.  With photographic speed and with photographic comprehension, it looked to others like I was simply turning pages.

Two years later, I had a ruptured appendix which resulted in surgery and a 21-day coma.  After that, I could see energy fields around people and how the energy moved through their organ systems, also known as chakras and acupuncture meridians.  I realized that the biological and physiological ignorance of the people around me was a hazard to my well-being.  My intention was to learn everything there was to know about the human body.  My surgeon gave me my first copy of Gray’s Anatomy which I committed to memory.  When I realized that I could influence and adjust other peoples bio-electric systems, I applied what I knew to the people around me if they were receptive.  That is how I began, at age four and a half, one aspect of my scientific career: hands on facilitator of healing.

How Green Oasis Now Began

The seeds of what has become Green Oasis Now were sown years ago. What follows are excerpts from conversations with David, who is the cofounder of Green Oasis Now and also the head of Research and Development. At a young age David demonstrated unique gifts of genius. Many stories in his life illustrate the development of a visionary scientist who, early on, felt a strong sense of mission for the utilization of his talents. We begin at the beginning — David, age two and a half:

Early Discoveries

It was the fourth of July family gathering.  At one point, all extended family members were having a meeting.  I could hear that they were talking about me.  They were concerned that I wasn’t speaking yet and discussing what to do about it.  Then I spoke for the first time.  “Why doesn’t everybody in the world sit down and say, ‘We made a big mistake and we’ll start over again tomorrow.’”

A while later, a firecracker went off in the street startling my mother who bumped into a bookcase.  Three books fell onto the floor near where I was lying — a Greek dictionary, a Latin dictionary and a book called Greatest Speeches of the World.  I immediately read out loud from the books in front of me.  No one noticed that it wasn’t gibberish until I started reading the speeches.  My mother then said, “You can’t read.” She took the books away from me and put them back on the shelf.

Prior to this, I hadn’t been speaking because I didn’t understand the people around me.  I couldn’t comprehend that they weren’t able to see the people that I could see living higher, better lives on a different energetic level.  Compared to what I could see there, what I experienced around me felt primitive.

Independent Studies

At age five I gained access to the adult library in my town by proving to the head librarian that I had instant photographic retention of any book I looked at and could recite from it without flaw.  I was given a library card with no limit on the number of books I was allowed to check out at one time.  I moved the books the short distance to my home in a shopping cart because I couldn’t carry them all.  To select books, I read the card catalog and made a Dewey Decimal Classification System list of books that interested me —  primarily science.  One of my favorite books, The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, became available for me to check out when I was eight or nine.  I read and digested it.

With early exposure to organic gardening, and a family who also seasonally fished and foraged — primarily for mushrooms, berries, nuts and roots — I was eager to learn about nature.  I began, as many children do, by tasting things.  This later became another facet of my scientific analysis.

In a pond in my town I found a plant that tasted exquisitely good to me.  I brought samples home.  These I began growing on glass partitions in an aquarium.  It turned out to be Chlorella.  Thus, involvement with algae began at age five.

The braided honeybee hives underneath the apple tree are a fond memory since infancy.  My grandmother grafted numerous kinds of fruit onto the apple and peach trees.  Everything my grandmother did in terms of grafting and rooting and managing the garden and the honeybees was of great interest to me.  Until age twelve, when my family moved to a more rural area, I participated with her avidly whenever and wherever I could.

As part of my study of human physiology, and self improvement physically, I became interested in weightlifting and martial arts early in my ninth year when a Korean martial artist moved into my neighborhood.  I began to study with him.

Also when I was nine, my ability to read and discern intelligently was becoming recognized.  Two engineers from IBM came to my home.  They said that IBM would pay for my education through Ph.D. if I would agree to work for them.  I told them I would accept if I could work on optical computing.  They said there was no such thing and never would be.  I told them to leave.  I had already developed an impatience with the sluggishness of the educational system.  I decided to continue my studies independently.  This included constant, careful observation.

Friends of Green Oasis Now

It has been four months since “Stewardship From a Wide View” was posted as the first blog on greenoasisnow.com.

Since then we have been steadily expanding the glimpse into Green Oasis Now that our website provides.

Concurrently, we at Green Oasis Now have also been considering the best way to answer the question:  “How can I help?”

We are consistently impressed by the quality of sincere receptivity to the Green Oasis Now mission as expressed on the website pages.  It is clear that the desire to participate in creating innovative positive change is growing in the hearts and minds of many during these times of pivotal change on Earth.

In consultation with trusted advisors, we have refined an idea which will allow an individualized level of grass roots participation in furthering the goals of Green Oasis Now.

With the posting of this blog and the corresponding publishing of new pages on the website, it is now possible to participate in Friends of Green Oasis Now.

Part of the membership process is called an Earthchip.

Unique on the planet, the Earthchip is a way of saying “Yes!” to stewardship from a wide view.

Our special thanks to those who have inspired the creation of Friends of Green Oasis Now.

Note:  Friends of Green Oasis Now is being restructured.  Earthchips are not currently available.


Note: The Friends of Green Oasis Now idea was discontinued shortly after it was introduced.


The incoming tide is filled with new attitudes, new perspectives, new possibilities and new demands for consciousness.  It is only through a change in consciousness that our world will be transformed.  To positively and wholeheartedly embrace the possible we must be aware and available.  We must also acknowledge our own evolution.

Both the planet and humanity are exhibiting volcanic behavior.  Clouds of confusion abound from the upheaval.

Even as Earth is venting volcanically, there are countless areas where the sun shines on peaceful meadows or the still surface of a gleaming lake which reflects fair weather clouds.

The same contrast exists within humanity and is a choice.

Celebrating Possibility

The celebration of possibility is inherently expansive.

A choice between the outlooks of expansion or contraction is occurring at this pivotal time on Earth.  That choice is being made either willfully or by default.

Among the assorted global chaos, humanity is being shaken out of the doldrums of complacency and the illusion of feeling powerless to make a difference.

What we as individuals notice, amid the global uproar, is significantly affected by what we choose to see.

We may view an outgoing tide as taking with it old attitudes, concepts and outmoded belief systems and habits which do not serve the future of life on this planet.  These we must surrender to make way for the new and adapt to the incoming tide.

What is in front of us on Earth at this time is enormous opportunity — perhaps unprecedented — to bring forth, amid the varying hubbub, new possibilities.

• Amid the discord, there is the possibility for harmony.

• Amid feelings of separation, there is the possibility to recognize our interconnectedness — not only with one another but with all species.

• Amid change and feelings of insecurity, there is the possibility to ascend to heights of creative expression and fulfillment on a healthy planet.

With attention to intention, possibility can become probability. This we celebrate.

Nurturing A Vision

This blog can also be titled:  “How Green Oasis Now Began, Part 2”.  Visionary scientist David refers to the feminine founder of Green Oasis Now, Tritia, as “the decision-maker” because he believes — and has said for years — that it is only the feminine viewpoint that can rejuvenate Earth.

From childhood I had a sense of destiny — something particular that I was to do — though it was completely undefined.

A career pathway did not become apparent during my years of traditional education.  Eventually, when considering graduate school, I asked intensely — on the inner levels — for clear direction.  One very early morning I awoke from a dream-like state and noted precisely the words which had come to me as I slept.  I understood that I was to learn to follow heart-direction while also developing an expansive view, way beyond what I had been taught was possible.

Directly following those insights — expressed succinctly in fifty words which to me rang true — a pathway unfolded step by step as though I had come into alignment with a plan that was choreographed.  Within a year and a half, navigation and photography were my assignments aboard a classic sailing vessel, a British built yawl.  Especially when sailing offshore, there were myriad opportunities to experience the effectiveness of a small group of people with a shared purpose.

At home on the coastline, navigation continued as a metaphor.  Step by step, it took me into the corporate world where I knew there was something valuable to be learned — part of it about group dynamics and diversity.  For about five years this work was concurrent with my role in the development of a friend’s small business.  There was a stark contrast between rigid structure as differentiated from the creative enthusiasm within a new enterprise which required persistence and tirelessness.

Three years into this experience the rheostat on change was turned up when expanded intuition, together with heart-direction, nudged me closer to understanding the next steps.  Synchronicity increased and gradually my life was rearranged.

Three years later, on three different occasions over the course of six months, I was present at workshops facilitated by an author whose work I found interesting.  An unusual person was present at these same workshops — having been invited to return a second and a third time, as I was also.  By the third occasion of our meeting briefly, there was recognition that I must pay attention.  A month or so later, I listened to  David’s life story for four consecutive days.

Over a number of years our acquaintance-ship became friendship.  I continued to be a listener — primarily through voice messages and phone calls — becoming well informed about his visionary gifts together with observations about the environment and how well-being, both personal and planetary, could be enhanced.

Our conversations about his wide-ranging — and well-integrated — envisioned projects grew into a focused dialog when, in 2015, I asked him to describe a potential beginning point.  He spoke of an initial greenhouse, unaffected by outer climate, which could become the core of a larger system.  At my request, he provided a sketch which I then translated into a basic though meticulously-to-scale visual representation on my laptop.  It occurred to me that I was beginning to become a translator for David’s vision.  Furthermore, I had been well schooled to do so, as though part of a plan that was larger than I knew.

David characteristically says:  “The inspiration comes through me, not from me.  I create by paying attention.”  That is my experience as well.

The role of translator evolved into “Green Oasis Now” and the creation of this website.  The recent expansion of our website implicitly announces a turning point: vision into form.    

When I was in my twenties, I began the practice of writing what I called “daily notes” — observations, inspirations, things that catch my attention.  This continues.  Much to my surprise, the evolution of Green Oasis Now has been documented in my daily notes.

Eight months ago I began writing, in narrative style, a reminder for myself which points clearly inward — inner direction, and simply placing oneself in alignment with a view that is larger than one can imagine.  This is where “destiny” shows itself, synchronicity abounds and vast possibility is endless.

Green Oasis Now is the coalescence of a collaboration which is consistently focused on bringing possibility-into-probability-into-success.     

Recently, David reminded me of a comment that he made when we met.   David said, “I know we are supposed to do great things together but I don’t know what they are.”  Now we know.

Part of the purpose of this website is educational.  Throughout the website — including previous topic-specific blogs — we have pointed out some of the basic issues which need to be addressed and for which Green Oasis Now offers solutions.  These basic issues will ultimately affect all of us — more or less — in our interconnectedness with the planet and with one another.

As we see it, part of the adaptability quotient (AQ) in embracing change is the proactive implementation of closed-loop sustainable systems — in greenhouses, homes, clusters of homes, or small communities.  For those to whom this idea may be new or unfamiliar, to be aware of the possibility is the first step in eventually achieving it.  Closed-loop systems are the effective pattern for a

Adaptability: Embracing Change

stable and cooperative future.  Closed-loop systems are an underlying operational principle for Green Oasis Now.

Those innovators who are embracing change — and undaunted by rapid change — are enthusiastically racing forward to meet the new challenges.

Green Oasis Now is one of these cutting-edge innovators.


Social scientists now suggest that adaptability quotient (AQ) may become more important than EQ (emotional quotient) or IQ in our rapidly changing world.

Adaptability is multifaceted.

Some of the characteristics of adaptability are resilience, flexibility, cooperative/collaborative co-creativity, innovation, well-grounded common sense and foresight — the seeing of new possibility.

To attune to change is to become resonant with change — rather than threatened by it.  By embracing change, new possibilities become limitless.
