Finding the Way: UBUNTU

I've been following a guy by the name of Michael Tellinger on YouTube and gaia.com. He's a South African archaeologist and writer and he's made some interesting discoveries about the huge number of stone circles in SA and speculates about their age and purpose. In spite of what SA historians say about South Africa being sparsely populated, Michael estimates over 1,000,000 stone circles and 1000's of hectares of terraced land used for agriculture dating back millennia!!! This would suggest that SA was densely populated. It boggles the mind to think that civilization goes back that far and that advanced technologies existed that explain the building of the pyramids and other ancient sites. So what does this have to do with Spain? Michael Tellinger 's new passion is a philosophy called Ubuntu, a world without money based on contributionism. If you're curious to learn more, he has a website and e-book you can read. It's actually quite an interesting idea and is growing in interest all around the world. So he was invited to give a talk in Marbella/San Pedro on Tuesday night, which I decided I wanted to attend. His talk was part of a larger event put on by a group of ex-pats doing business and living in the Marbella area to talk about topics like the environment, food, transportation, charity, law enforcement, and communication. It was interesting to hear what the concerns of the ex-pat community are and what actions they're willing to undertake. The event took place at the Laude International College, an English-speaking school for kids K-12. Marbella is one of the first big tourist areas in Andalucía and is popular with the rich and famous, so I was curious to find out what the not so rich and famous had to say. So here I am in western Andalucía, a two hour bus ride from Nerja. It chucked rain on Monday shortly after I arrived and didn't let up all afternoon.
