TEN PRINCIPLES

CREATIVE APPROACHES

In order to achieve a balanced and sustainable development, we need a creative approach

"Ancient" physics and science

Traditional physics led us to be focused on material achievements.

Now the main challenge will be to reduce our excessive attention to material aspects.

In this sense, the new physics can give clues in bringing us nearer to our essential nature as universal beings, which can lead to our self-realization as spiritual people, capable of transcending our material limitations

1) The "no-locality" principle

In the heart of all things there exists a spark, a sense of divinity.

The challenge is to find the "good" zone that exists in any "bad" process and turning a threat into an opportunity.

70 tons per month of SO2 waste are converted to 300 tons of basic chrome sulfate

2) The "participation of the observer" principle

If we decide to play magic with our creative capacity, everything is possible.

Undertaking environmental accounting, by including pollutants and waste in production mass balances.

LEARNING BY TRIAL, ERROR AND............. PAIN

3) The “uncertainty” principle

This is somewhat a shocking idea, since no one wants to feel insecure or menaced by risk. (Escher).

A buffalo skull mountain or phosphate raw material pile?

Handling relations with love and openness, so that people feel stimulated to contribute with useful ideas to the recovery, minimization, and recycling of waste.

See and feel

Listen

Explain with care

Organize

4) The "complementarity" principle

What can be seen directly, what is hidden, and what might be.

CLEAN Energy generated by Biogas in a landfill.

5) The "unity" principle

Everything in the Cosmos is inseparable.

Sulfur mining in a Volcano.

The production system must support art and culture as a way to create a more human environment in compensation to the relative monotony of the production system in industry.

6) The “parallel universe” principle

There are several levels of reality.

There are several levels of consciousness.

The Alps and the trash mountains

When we envision and make declarations for a new reality, which are stated clearly in first person

and in the present time, creative energy comes unbounded and applicable, resulting in profitable

and interesting ideas that arise, ready to be developed

We target energy gains and savings in each engineering project we undertake. It

works.

There are hidden parallel universes in all things

7) The “relativity of time” principle

Life is more beautiful when we understand the eternal present at all times.

8) The "energetic field" principle

We are part of an incessant flow of mass and energy. (Jupiter´s Io moon)

Recycler Baby taking a rest while His Parents are at Work.

Poverty, waste, and violence are the results of selfishness and lack of solidarity.

We can explore the wide, almost unlimited, zones of energetic field in order to find new

niches and creative contributions

Using very small amounts of green detergent to wash clothings by working with magnetic device

9) The “entropy” principle

From the apparent disorder, the miracle of dynamism and self-referenceis born.

Play ground floor made of recycled rubber.

Waste, crime and pollution are signs of entropy at work and lack of leadership.

10) The “infinite underlying variety” principle

The reality is much more complex but, paradoxically, simpler than we believe.

The key to this is intuition. It works when people ask themselves questions that are not yet answered. (Escher)

COLOMBIA IS PASSION
