The discussion around the future global demand, supply and reserve-situation is intensifying.
Are we actually running out of oil (and gas) or not? And if so when?
Will the reserves collapse or will new finds take care of the future?
Will production keep up with demand? And if not, what then?

Letter to all from Alexander

Germany, 18th of November 2004

Dear all,

It is now one month after the Gathering in Koblenz, and I hope you all came back well and safe.

It was an extraordinary month and much has happened since. It seemed as if things were different afterwards and it almost seems as if old structures do not fit anymore (and new ones have not been found yet).

The gathering was a phenomenon. I have hardly ever seen people from so many different directions of this world come together and get along so well. It seemed as if personal opinions were not so important, it was much more that we were all in the same boat and needed to look first for the truth of the matter and maybe later for a solution.

The ecology of the Gathering was created in such a way that everyone had the maximum personal freedom whilst the actual search was for a collective better intelligence about the current and future energy situation of the human race.

The way of 'The 5 Intelligences' is designed to approach a subject from different perspectives than normal and to activate broader segments of our inherent perception, to cause a deepening of insight and a broadening of view. Mr Frenkel did a more than excellent job in a humorous and encouraging way.

We all worked hard and many of you came to extraordinary new perceptions, as became clear in the reflections you gave. I hope that you have been able to contain these and maybe even apply them in your professional and daily life.

On the website you will find

And then there is of course this very nice collection of photos (page 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5) that leads you hopefully to remember the many good moments from the Gathering.

Because the cooperation with the Plasma team and Mr Frenkel went so well we have decided to form a partnership for the future to be able to provide similar processes in different circumstances. (If you have ideas, you are most welcome to contact us.)

We are also working to create a website of the gathering with the storyline and some pictures, the papers for sale and new initiatives for the future will be announced. I will try to set up an Internet discussion forum as some of you have asked for.

It is yet unclear what the future will bring but we will certainly see some of you in New Delhi in mid-January and otherwise hopefully in the next gathering in 2005.

All the best to all of you, much courage and good health,

with best regards,

Alexander Wöstmann
