The Absence of Fear (A true MISSION Statement)

ANTI-TERRORISM

If SEND is about any specific business it is definitely in the anti-terrorism business.

Terrorism is, according to Webster is the systematic use of terror as a means of coercion. Well then what does Webster say about terror? It is 1. A state of intense fear 2. One that inspires fear, worry or anxiety and includes an appalling person place or thing 3. Reign of terror 4. Violence with the intent to intimidate a population or government into granting their demands ( an extreme form of manipulation) .

Well then our friend Mr. Webster does not declare that any one country has a monopoly on this terrorism problem . So lets examine some of the basic underlying terrors that are gripping the Earth’s populace now. They are war, poverty, hunger, and in general a deprivation or total lack of comfort in life. Wow, that covers a lot of territory. So, what if anything can a small organization like SEND add to the world that could possibly mitigate even a fraction of all this terror?

In order to gain the most ground for the Earths population in this fight, we realize that the essence of terror is fear of the unknown, fear of what is around the corner. It is fear of the dark unknown.

It is a helplessness bred from not understanding how one would go about the business of changing their worldly situation to a sustainable living environment. Sustainable from a personal immediate view could mean a general feeling that tomorrow will most likely bring about a continuation of fulfillment of their hopes dreams and aspirations. That may be just some shelter, food and health.

So let’s start with the most common denominator and go from there.

Our shared-vision of Sustainable ENergy Delivery LLC (SEND) is to create shared learning environments for people that can empower them to develop the cognitive skills as quickly as possible in order to bring light to their world .

The light of understanding of the natural world and human beings impact on it is essential in order to bring about any change that will help us to continue to exist as a species on this planet.

We will teach in ways that will chase away the darkness that has suffocated their minds and thereby been such a breeding ground for terror. We are about education of how to realize ones own potential to bring about changes in the world that will link up with positive developments already underway.

SEND is creating project environments where this new found cognitive power can grow into the known and as yet unknown answers to our most pressing problems. Right now our most pressing problem is the seeming ignorance of how to bring about any kind of real change in our world.

As our beloved Pogo said in his comic strip “We have met the enemy and it is us”. If you are going to fight your enemies then start with the one you can change first. In other words the only real thing in this world you can change is yourself.

We at SEND believe that the greatest renewable energy is that of the creative spirit. The interchange of these creative minds is the currency we will use to bring about a sustainable world, a world where the ignorance of terrorism has no place to hide. Will you join us in chasing away the darkness?

Thank You,
James W. Bates
