Understanding Zimbabwe’s ‘Coup’ and more…
Einstein is quoted as having said: ‘You cannot solve a problem with the same logic that created it.’ He also said that ‘Idiocy is repeatedly doing something the same way and expecting a different result.’ Both of these statements lead us to a similar concept which is that we need to change something in ourselves [...]
Allowing Truth to Work for Us and in Us
Rudolf Steiner calls thinking the newest capacity Humanity has (Philosophy of Freedom). Thinking he says is the act we, as human beings alone, bring to a traffic intersection for example. The intersection is just that, an intersection. It is only understood if we bring our capacity to think to it. How do we do this? [...]
Technology – A bride, or to be bridled?
The conversation continues from Price – clarifying a concept to improve service. Technology is all around us today. It seems to appear from nowhere and provide such seductive things like Cruise Control, GPS mapping and directions, all kinds of phone apps that link us to our security systems and kitchens, and of course [...]
Forensic Science as a basis for a Bigger Truth
The title to this article will reveal its relevance as you go through it. It leads you from current forensic investigations in current cases in our Courts, via Archimedes’ own forensic joy, and ends up connecting all this to our own search for meaning which is found by combining what we see as ‘things’ with [...]
Farm Murders – Where the Truth Lies
If the Threefold concept were to hold value and truth as a means to a better future, then it must be able to give us guidance on how to respond to farm murders. I believe that it does and this is why. Our Humanity, the liberty magnet, must be allowed to be cherished in [...]
AfriForum as an Association
AfriForum as an Association AfriForum is an NGO in South Africa whose stated mission is somewhat diverse. A part of it’s mission is to protect the rights of minority groups. AfriForum has expanded its sphere of influence and recently decided to enforce the law where it feels that the State is not doing this. Today [...]
The Four Temperaments
The combination of the elements of earth, water, air and fire affect the temperament of each human being in a unique way, one tends to dominate while another has hardly any influence at all. These descriptions indicate the dominance of each of the elements. Choleric (Fire) Cholerics are usually physically strong, with short and thick [...]
Price – clarifying a concept to improve service.
Trade originated in barter transactions. As trade increased, barter transactions became more complicated and money evolved as a means of exchange. The net money transaction (or ‘surplus value’) represents the value created, or, the human ingenuity involved. Money is therefore human ingenuity distilled out of practical trade between people. Money is, distilled spirit, via the [...]
Shock as an aid to our development
In pre-Christian times, people were initiated in a process of near death that loosened their etheric or life body from their physical. (A complete separation happens at death.) While in this state they were able to go into the world of spirit for a few days while being ‘managed’ by other inititates around them. They [...]
What Zuma means by Radical Economic Transformation
Radical economic transformation can best be explained by a simple example. The large bluegum tree outside your window is only worth the shade that it provides if it stays there. It gets value when chopped up into braai pack sizes and placed near a market. Any wood from this tree that is not cut to [...]
The Short Biography of David Wertheim Aymes
David was born on 15 February 1961, as the first son to parents in South Africa. His father is from Holland and his mother was born locally.
He was schooled at Michael Mount Waldorf School in Johannesburg until the end of Class 7 and then went to a private, English style, high school in Johannesburg called St Stithians.
He did not enjoy the latter.
He then did his compulsory military service, traveled a bit, after which he settled down to study and qualified as a CA(SA). David did his articles at Arthur Andersen and then spent three and a half years at the Industrial Development Corporation, a State owned development bank that funded capacity building projects in Southern Africa. After a short stint working in a family business, his long-time destiny found root in the concrete industry where he led the development and growth of the Bosun Group from very small beginnings to being the major player in this sector in South Africa.
Along the way, he had a family of four children with his wife Chandré. This provided some real joy and some real shocks and hardships along the way, right up until the present. The children have now all flown the nest to find their own destinies; one went to heaven’s nest.
As a person, he admits to the influences of his baser side and the mistakes that this led to. He also knows that he has not done much consciously in support of evil. On the contrary, he has striven to overcome these temptations and the base callings of his earthly nature. His objective has slowly distilled out of these strivings to support the delicate beauty of the Humanity in himself and others.
His contact with the ‘concrete’ issues of daily life, together with the inner calling to be better in all respects, have led him to be able to describe and share that which he does on this website. He does this in service of Humanity as a whole, as a hope that he can add hope for a better and more sustainable way of doing business and drawing out what business really needs to be in a healthy society going forward.
I decided to create this personal blog for the following main reasons:
- I believe that I know my own path to increased and improved consciousness. This means that I can describe my own growth in Human capacities and how they came about. I have found this to be of great practicality and use to some people that I work closely with. In essence, therefore, I am saying that I am able to share and want to share. I have not found a lot of the same when I have met the many people that I have had the fortune to meet. I feel, therefore, that this kind of sharing is new and needs to be done as one of the many initiatives that will lead to a better world.
- I have led the formation of a small Group of Companies called the Bosun Group. We grew without initiating Shareholder Capital. We did it on borrowings and our Humanity – we linked borrowed capital to our Humanity effectively. We stayed humbly in reality and worked from here; I can say that over the whole time ‘humbly’ might be a fair claim but in the earlier times this was not the case. During this time of building, we watched our competitors doing things in a different way. It has come to a point where I feel that we have an unfair advantage over them purely because we are committed to the Humanity in each of us while they are committed to the illusion of profit being the source of all growth. I place this information out there for them also.
- I share not because I feel that anything that I share is better, but rather that it is shared in complete openness and sacrifice as MY experience. I offer this as a free gift to anyone interested. Holes will be found in my logic, but nevertheless, it is an honest attempt to share who I am. Hopefully it serves as a peg in the ground, an anchoring point for others to use as an honest and clear point of reference or departure.
- The intention of the content is to link philosophy with practical application in our modern world. You will, therefore, find most ideals and ideals linked to practical day to day examples. This is what is perhaps most different between the content here and the content of only practical life or only the world of ideas. The concepts that are given may not be mine, but the application to practical outcomes and inner development is where I have spent my time. I will try to stay away from the writing of pure philosophy where this has been written about more than adequately by others. I will just try to link it to practical daily application through examples.
- My own place in society also needs a reference point. I found this reference point while studying the Threefold Social order or Commonwealth, by Dr Rudolf Steiner. I have decided to place myself within the concept of this Threefold Social order and share what I have learnt as part of my wish to support and promote a development of a better world, a better society. This structure also gives me the chance to split my personal growth path and my learnings in business into a structure and format that will hopefully assist the coming into being of this ideal societal structure of the future.
- Should this website at any point become of any commercial value or receive financial support from society at large, I will give 50% of this to the promotion of Anthroposophy directly by the main Society based in Dornach, Switzerland, and 25% to the Christian Community – the organisation that busies itself with the renewal of the Sacraments. The balance I will have to decide on. It is from the works of Dr Steiner and those close to him at the time that I owe most of what I am competent with today.
- In my mind, you will be doing the right thing if you are trying to use the content for the betterment of yourself, your suppliers, your staff, your friends and family and for the betterment of the service or product offering that you can partake in.
