There’s great clarity in these writings as well as the others you’ve shared from Gilbert. Very becoming of a deep knowledge…things I can sense are true but struggle to communicate.
Initially, permaculture writings spoke to me I this way. In practice, the initial idealism sparked by those writings wore thin relatively quickly. The lessons learned were still very valuable. So much focus of permaculture is regionally-specific prescriptions. JMG, do you feel occult systems of training are similar? What works for one person may not work for another? Apply the proper system for a certain person’s individuality, and things flourish, while a different system may yield little results?
