It's All About Congruence

Are You Congruent?

This post deals with some core principles of integrating the three dimensions of homesteading, green / clean energy and permaculture. I start you off with some of the tips and tricks that will save you time and possibly, failure.

Have You Run Your Permaculture Visioning workshop, yet? If you haven’t then this article might be especially interesting. But it applies to both camps.

Congruence is the idealized state of “homeostasis”, the tendency of a system to maintain a stable equilibrium, regardless of external system influences. I want to explore how we can approach this topic when it comes to Green / Clean Energy, Homesteading and the over-arching umbrella of permaculture.

I like to use the congruence and homeostasis concepts to push the idea that our three primary content dimensions in this Track #4 Green Energy, Homesteading and Permaculture educational channel have a tendency of falling out of congruence and it’s how we manage these interacting forces that determine our overall success for our chosen endeavor. So, I thought that today we should look at the core aspects of congruence as they relate to our own selves. John Nelson helped me with a number of these items. His motto for permaculture is, “Know Thyself”. I readily agree.
