    Terraikon

    YET ANOTHER CONCEPT?

    Not really its a way of integrating many existing ideas

    about people, the world we live in, and how we develop. There are four main aims:

    to show how you and other people connect

    to visualise all resources and how they interact to provide a framework for understanding issues and

    devising solutions

    to do all this clearly and simply (but not too simply!) First some text to set the scene

    then the graphics to visualise it...

    Terraikon setting the framework

    WHO ARE PEOPLE? The Terraikon model starts with you at the centre. Development of the world should be carried out

    by people for people people first!Your role in doing this is critical. If we want an Earth (terra)that will support us,

    then we must first understand

    how we behave and what we believe. The companion Octaikon model

    that represents you, body and soul,provides the framework for this.This is explained on the website:www.octaikon.co.ukin particular, see the link toOkki Stuff educational resources.

    WHAT ARE RESOURCES?The Terraikonmodel views the world

    as made up of resourcesHere are some definitionsof what resources are,all relevant to the model:

    Means of supplying a want (or need) Stock (or asset) that can be drawn upon

    Countrys collective means of support

    Possibility of aid Skill in devising expedients

    Practical ingenuity

    Terraikon setting the framework

    TYPES OF RESOURCE Materialresources can be grouped into three types

    Natural resources:everything in nature, but excluding people

    Human resources:people - the whole human population

    Produced resources:everything that people make / manufacture /produce from nature

    and there are also spiritualresources The realm of faith and religions -spiritual phenomena.

    Many people would say that that the whole world isboth material and spiritual, especially ourselves.

    RESOURCE INTERACTIONSInteractions between and within all resources are complex.In the case of material resources, remember that Resources are dynamic

    and always changing Each type of resource

    has internal functionsandprocesses Resources exertpressureon each other,eliciting a responseand changes in their state.

    Resources provide inputs/outputs

    (goods and services) to other resources.We must understand how these interactions work

    if we are to manage resources and keep them in balance.

    And now for the graphics A. Marcus J. Robbins 2008

    Terraikon understanding the basics

    Visualising your world at its simplest.

    YOUR OUTER WORLD

    HAS THREEBASIC COMPONENTS:

    NATURE

    OTHER PEOPLE

    WHAT WE MAKE OF IT

    At the centre isyou body and soul,representedby the Octaikon

    AND THERE IS ALSO ASPIRITUAL DIMENSION

    Terraikon relating to the real world

    How people interface with the worldThis is the most complex aspect of the model!

    The interface of the Octaikon model of a personwith the Terraikon model of the world

    needs some explanation. Each of our four main faculties interrelate equally

    with the three material resources.We observe, interpret, express and actin relation to our natural, social and economic environments.

    To understand these connexions, see: www.octaikon.co.uk

    Connecting with other concepts

    We now look at

    how the connexionsbetween these resourcescan be conceptualised

    in different ways

    Ways in which the resources overlapHere are some terms to describe how the resources are combined.

    Terraikon relating to the real worldIn reality there are no clear-cut boundaries

    The three typesoverlap and merge

    and they can form acomplex matrix

    Sometimes it is not easy to distinguish between material resources.

    and it is even more difficult

    to imagine different patternsof spiritual resources! A. Marcus J. Robbins 2008

    The Making a Livingmodel(Robbins)

    This model is similar to the Livelihoods Approach, but usesthe Terraikon resources and components more closely.

    It divides the way we make a living into four components: the resources available for making a living the way of making a living the situation in which a living is made

    the standard of living achieved

    Life after death, reincarnation

    Others?

    In the Terraikon, the spiritual or supernatural dimension isrepresented by the grid.

    Dynamics of spiritual resourcesThe grid shows thatspiritual resources

    are thought of as beingpresent everywhere,connecting everything

    and everybody.There are

    causes and effects

    within and betweenpeople, nature and things,

    in ways that we canonly begin to understand.

    A religion or faith can be defined as:a system of attitudes, beliefs, and practices

    usually relating to supernatural or superhuman beings or forcesthat transcend the everyday material world.

    There are many ways of classifying religions or faiths...

  • 7/31/2019 Terraikon

    32/72

    The Terraikon can be used in different ways to show balance of resources,(varying angle, radius, or proportion). The method used will depend on the

    units measured, and on what type of balance is to be visualised.Here are some possible ways of doing this:
