Oil-Around 2013
In and around the interrelated themes determining the course of the world.
With quite some excitement, we have announced and are now spreading the word of this unique conference Oil-Around 2013.
Probably a first-ever taking together these interrelated subjects, we want to create an ecology in which understanding of the separate subjects can be brought together into a multi-dimensional understanding and perception about the global developments and their direction.
Over the years in doing the Gas & Oil Newsletter and web-site, it became ever clearer that in just looking at oil or gas, one could not anymore see what the actual movers were.
In the ‘outlooks‘ of the different institutions often the official figures on economic developments were taken on-board, but seeing the often embarrassing withdrawals or corrections, it was clear this was not enough.
In 2010 this website started therefore with expanding the subject-matters of our news-overviews, till then ‘just’ oil & gas (100.000+ articles from over 600 sources) to Energy, Economy, Climate, Geo-Politics and ‘Other’ in an attempt to broaden the views and perceptions, as all these subjects are intimately related with Oil & Gas, either by discovery, production, supply or demand, or the prevention of them. You will find several thousands of articles on these subjects in ‘Oil-Around’.
From there it was seemingly a small step, but actually a large leap, to bring these subjects together in a comprehensive way in a conference. The reason the small step proved to be a big leap lies in the fact that several of these subjects, especially Economy and Geo-Politics, have very deep and dark underbellies, which are very difficult to keep out. It has been several months work to integrate these subjects and address them in such a way that we will not be drifting off into dark corners, as this would not only alienate the participants, but also would make the conference useless (in that it would just sink off towards opposing opinions and lots of animosity).
Being determined to address the subject in a clean and adult way, we/I had to work through them to bring them together in such a manner that it will be a revealing, opening up but also enhancing experience, in which the quest is one for Perception and Insight into the developments and where they may lead to. That is the aim of the conference: Perception and Insight.
That is also why this conference is for a very broad spectrum of people; everyone interested in the ongoing global developments and where these will bring us. The method we use, in itself a unique method that enhances the natural intelligence of every person, greatly helps to deepen the understanding and at the same time elevate each subject, so it becomes possible to integrate what has been learned on a very different, higher, level in oneself, than normally would be the case.
We look forward to many people wanting to participate. If there are more than we deem wise, as we want to keep it contained and secure, we will initiate a next one in the near future and we hope and project that the Oil-Around conferences will become re-occurring highlights over the coming years.
Stay awake!
