FROM THE MATRIX OF VIOLENCE

TO THE MATRIX OF LIFE

(Excerpt of the book: The Sacred Matrix by Dr. Dieter Duhm)

Translated from the German by Douglas Baillie and Anna Bandini

Are you searching for a newer world?

Don't search for it forever. See it.
Perceive it. Evoke it.
Create examples everywhere!

The evolution of violence has reached boiling point. The existing systems
will not last much longer on this basis. The Earth is dominated by a
physical energy which leads to uncontrollable explosions and fires. The
time is ripe for a mutation; for a transition similar to that of water into
steam. The same medium - the same human material, but a completely
new world. It is only a question of time. Either collective downfall and

global holocaust, or a new global beginning on a new foundation. The
blueprint for such a new beginning already exists: the universal matrix of life. We stand at a probably
unprecedented historical point. Now everything depends on whether there will be a new concept available
for meaningful evolutionary progress in a new direction. Into this historical and global situation we place the
project of Healing Biotopes. This project is intended to trigger a change in the direction of global evolution:

• From the matrix of violence to the matrix of life.

• From the destruction of nature to cooperation with nature.
• From separation to reunion with Creation.
• From exploitation to sanctification of the Earth.
• From suppression of sexuality to its liberation.
• From male judgemental Gods to the female sources of life.
• From fear to trust.
• From a private way of life to a communitarian way of life.
• From private community to a planetary community.
• From the neediness of wanting to have, to the abundance of giving and serving.
• From global capitalism to self-organising self-sufficient systems.
• From the war between the genders to solidarity and love between the genders.
• From hard to soft power.

The Earth is dominated by a global chain of fear and violence. If we succeed in breaking this chain at some
points and making the change from the old to the new matrix, this will have an effect on the whole chain, as
the sacred matrix is always present, hidden behind all the violence, waiting to be accessed. The change does
not happen through violence but by means of information, as all life is directed by information. The glo bal
code of violence has to be answered with a superior counter-code of peace. With this we have new
possibilities for the liberation of the Earth.
The coming change will take place principally in three areas: our relationship to nature and Creation, our
relationship to community, and our relationship to love and sexuality. The new information which we need
for a non-violent world consists of new experiences and developments in these three areas. In all of these
areas, a higher level of cooperation and reunion with the whole is needed. My book "The Sacred Matrix"
therefore particularly focusses on these three areas.
The change from the old matrix to the new matrix is a transition to a higher-order system. We will
continually meet the concept of higher orders in our deliberations. In all areas, solution of the existing
conflicts requires a choice of a new higher-order system. Let us take the personal conflict betw een
couplehood and free sexuality as an example. It cannot be solved on the private level of the individual. To be
able to solve it, we must switch to a higher-order system, in this case a (functioning) community. Only in
community is it possible to transform the torment of 'either/or' which arises on the individual level, into an

organic 'as well as'. Chaos theory, system theory and mathematics give many hints about the transition to
higher-order systems. These thoughts are part of a geistig* holo-movement in which we live today, and we
can therefore apply them to our issues as they are everywhere true. As a simple and striking example,
imagine you receive the following task: Draw a small circle which encloses a very large area. The task seems
to be absurd, as it cannot be solved in two dimensions. The solution is simple, however, if one enters the
third dimension. We could form the large area which is meant to fit into the the circle, into a sphere! The
smallest circle drawn on the surface of a large sphere is the boundary of a large surface. Therefore I could
say, if I were an Eastern mystic: your boundaries and the boundaries of the Universe are the same! It is
logical that on this level, new possibilities arise naturally. Those who think through this example and
understand it fully, gain a clear idea of the kind of re-thinking that is now necessary if we want to change
from the existing system structures to new system structures. The often quoted 'paradigm shift' is a leap of
dimension; a holo-leap to new levels of our exist ence. These levels, however, are implicit in the blueprint of
the world as an expression of the sacred matrix. It is our task to discover and apply them.

From the matrix of violence to the matrix of life. This formulation contains the statement that violence is not
(necessarily) a part of life. The statement is deliberate. I am of course aware of the kind of objection which
must immediately come from evolutionary science. Didn't life on Earth, the evolutionary ascent of the
animal kingdom, give birth to an immense arsenal of lies, deceit, poison and violence, long before the 'fall' of
Man? Two things can be said about this: First, from today's perspective it is difficult to say what the
functions of the assumed instruments of death in the animal kingdom actually were. The second and main
argument is that even if this all existed and still exists, there is no reason for things to remain as they are. The
development of life follows, as we will see, certain basic information, encoded in the molecular chains of the
genetic code and in the interconnections of the central nervous system. But this information is never final.
Which powers of life which are accessed, whether violent or peaceful, depends on how the information is
combined. Once we succeed in building peace-information which incorporates and unites the essential forces
of life in a way that is free of contradiction, there will be no more reason for violence. Lies, deceit and
violence will dissolve automatically when they no longer confer an evolutionary advantage. The
peaceworkers of our time who have an overview of the historical situation therefore face the task of creating
an overall information of life which forever erases the matrix of violence. This issue is solvable.
