Welcome to Intsangano/Forum for Holistic Transformation.

It is a pleasure to have you visiting. Please read as much of the information here at Intsangano educational website as you like and need; it is all for free educational use, and you will not be disturbed by advertisements.

Hopefully it has become clear to you from reading Purpose and goal of the website that Intsangano is a forum meant to connect people, from all walks of life, into a global community. It is a place where we all can learn and share knowledge about the dominative political and economic structures and institutions created by modern Patriarchy. This unbalanced patriarchal socioeconomic system is only benefiting the political and economic elites. It is conversely preventing many inhabitants of our global societies and nature from enjoying a quality of life. Hence, if we should hope to build up caring societies and healthy environments with space for all, we must end patriarchal domination.

However, in order to end this dominative system, we must understand how it functions. The purpose of Intsangano is to gain that understanding. Thus, all are welcome to read and learn about patriarchal domination here at Intsangano. If any of you would like to contribute with an article
to help others learn, you are warmly welcome. Check out Suggestions for articles in order to get inspired or perhaps you already have an idea about with what subject you can contribute. To understand how to send your paper for uploading, check out Directions for submitting written contributions and please also read Articles submitted for guidelines.

This blog is a space to communicate and post messages between the administrator of Intsangano and users of Intsangano educational website. Hence, you are welcome to comment in this blog. You can comment on the website in general, suggest ideas for improvements, present wishes for articles, ask questions, or give input and feedback of any kind.
The Intsangano Blog will also be used for normal blogging, posting of news, messages, information, insight, and more. Its future use, all depends on need.

Nevertheless, in everything you write, please be aware that Intsangano has a certain ethical standard. You can read about it in the Ethics of the website, Other values and Comments to the website. In order to make a change for the better, we must add the caring feminine yin energy that we have too little of in this dominant, out-of-balance yang world. You can here read more about Yin and yang energies.

Gandhi said, "Be the change you want to see in the world." We will follow his sensible advice. Thus, if we want to see a balanced world, we will add yin energy. It means we will cooperate. We will communicate in a respectful way. We will be kind towards each other. In doing that, we have already started building a world with caring space for all, which is essential in order to improve a quality of life for society and nature worldwide.

This does, of course, not mean that we must agree, not at all. It means that we can express our disagreement with respect: presenting our own point of view while valuing that other people have alternative viewpoints. Hence, all relevant input is welcome here, as long as it is expressed in a respectful manner.

Thank you dear Gregory. We all must do whatever we can to recreate a world with a quality of life for all, and end the elite's perception that this globe is merely their profit-making space. I know that you, Suzanne, and your Sen4Earth website, work hard to achieve such a world as well.

I liked your comment on "Humans aren't Predisposed towards War" on Common Dreams and decided to accept your invitation to post on Intsangano. I heartily agree with your mission statement for this site. I can think of no work more important than striving to build a society whose core values are respect for the sanctity of life, keeping the natural balance of yin/yang energies, and a equal distribution of necessities and pleasures.

Hello dear John, it is lovely to see you at Intsangano. You are warmly welcome.

We had an additional discussion, Gregory Hilbert and I, in the Common Dreams article, "Where have all the Dreamers gone" http://www.commondreams.org/view/2013/07/25-4
- if you want to read it.

If you would like to contribute with an educational paper for all to read at the Intsangano educational website, you are welcome. I believe that we all have knowledge or ideas to contribute with. We all know much more than we immediately think we do, due to our education, experience, reading, and contemplation, such knowledge may be important for others to share.

I have still not invited relevant writers to contribute to the Intsangano website, hence it still contains only my own contributions. However, when I have placed Intsangano at various social sites on the internet, and made and uploaded some explanatory videos, I will write to all the people I can think of to contribute. While I am doing that, anyone who wish to contribute with an educational paper is warmly welcome. For the rest, there is plenty to read, especially the four core articles may be interesting to you.

Please have a lovely day. I will meet you at Common Dreams I am sure.

Just a quick word here from a totally irrelevant writer but, only a friend wishing to express my amazement and admiration for this unique one of a kind site and place for global gettogether!
While still exporing all of the content, I wish to grab this opportunity now to send my very best wishes for success in every way and for all work involved in this milestone project which appears to be a groundbreaking work in progress.
With the PSPC conference being almost around the corner, I wish you a happy and safe journey to and from Bangkok as well as success in turning the TAO back to its correct position, degree by degree! The knowledge that many are helping you with this endeavor in their various ways may add to your confidence!

Thank you so much, dear Angelika, for your amazing comment. You are very kind. And thank you for your good wishes. Indeed, I am working on my conference paper, and you found the correct conference. I never visited Bangkok, so I am looking very much forward to it all.

I can assure you that you are not an irrelevant writer. You may just think of a subject that you can cover and get started researching and writing. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said, "Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it." So just go ahead.

As you can see I have not yet received any papers, but in all honesty, I have not yet contacted relevant writers. So you still have the chance to be the first writer.

Yes, dear Angelika, we must turn that wheel towards much more yin, so that we again can enjoy cooperation, care, conservation, and community spirit in our societies and our natural environments; money cannot buy us a quality of life. I am sure we will succeed, when we join forces and add lots of lots of feminine yin energy.

Take care of yourself, dear Angelika. We will be in touch. And thank you for visiting Intsangano, she likes caring visitors :)

Dear friend Jytte,
yet another quick word here, only to send some good vibrations your way and to all who are facing difficult times right now!
I'm including my thanks for your kind reply as well.
We are currently witnessing yet another attack by the yang powers, trying to weed out all the good and silencing the yin wherever it has voiced her power. However, I firmly believe it will prevail, so once more and especially now I'm sending lots of healing thoughts and rays of hope across the globe via this website! May they be contageous and spread from the US Westcoast across Europe all the way to South East Asia!

Hello again dear Angelika.

Yes, I wish with you that the caring yin energies will embrace the whole planet. We have to work for it though, but we will do, mainly by being the embodiment of kindness ourselves.

If you would like to contact me privately, you can send an email to administrator@intsangano.com - that is also me :)

I have sent my conference paper, and I will now prepare my presentation. I have been resting for a while to regain my energy. So I should be strong and fresh for more work next week.

Please do take care of yourself, dear Angelika, I am sending you many kind regards.

I came across your web site by generally searching for information on patriarchy to include in a comedic play I am putting together on this subject in an attempt to garner attention on how balance is the answer to our planet's problems. Thank you so much for this site, your dedication and work to this topic. I have gleaned the insight needed to go forward with my writing. Are you scheduled for any speaking engagements in the U.S.? Again, thank you so much.

Dear Kim,

A warm welcome to Intsangano; it is lovely to meet you. I am happy to learn that you could use some of the information in the Intsangano website; please be welcome to use all you need.

I could not help smiling, a big smile, when you told you are making a comedic play on Patriarchy. Indeed, was it not for the painful consequences for millions of people, I would have laughed out loud, because you really do get it: Patriarchy and its paradoxes is laughable, it is a painful comedy.

A play is an excellent medium to present Patriarchy. If you choose your subjects well, not making it too tragic, it will catch people's attention; they will listen, laugh and comprehend the inconsistencies. I really wish and hope that you have great success with your endeavor.

Please do contact me by email administrator@intsangano.com in case I can be of any help to you. I love my work and do it for free. I cannot "afford" to have my values colored by any paying entity :)

I am not so well-known internationally to be invited for speaking events or lectures. I do part take in international conferences and have had much fun with that, since also the academic elite are hanging on to the patriarchal, reductionist values. In fact, during the whole of 2014, I was engaged in preparing for and attending a number of conferences, so I had little time left for updating Intsangano. However, 2015 is devoted to improving the Intsangano website. Besides, I want to write on a new manuscript about Patriarchy. I have made plenty of notes during the last 2 years. Well, we will see what comes out of all that.

Dear Kim, I wish you the very best with the big work on your play, please do have a lovely day.
