Appendix to Desert Peace Process
2002, page 4
I, Christa-Rachel Bat-Adam, hereby abolish, abrogate, annul, invalidate, negate, nullify, rebut, refute, repeal , retract, revoke, withdraw all documents which legalized the so-called "Company for the Realization of Desert Resources", supposedly a "Company in favor of the Public", and the arbitrary, absurd definition of the so-called Company's "captital" as "20000 shares", and the partnership with Gadi and Efrat, which for them obviously meant to have a claim to 50% of these "shares". I also abolish, abrogate, annul, invalidate, negate, nullify, rebut, refute, repeal , retract, revoke, withdraw my so-called "Testament", in which I entrusted "Succah in the Desert" and the so-called "Company in favor of the public" to Gadi and Efrat Lybrook. Instead of the word "entrusted" [in Hebrew: hifqadti] I jokingly, stupidly, used the word "bequeathed". |
THE 1996 SUCCAH TESTAMENT and its
Annulment
2002_08_19 ; last update: 2008_02_16
In December 1995 I was ready to move my bus
to "UNA", a spot on the
northern side of the road to Egypt,
from where I could face the wadi running from the south,
where for 4 years I had been fantasizing the first Midbaron.
I pleaded with the ranger, but I was refused yet another time.
"I know", I said,"
that this wadi belongs to the Nature Reserve!"
I only stripped off my succah from my bus,
and m o v e d it
out of its hiding wadi into the open Zin valley
its face towards what I desired as the future.
How could I have been so wrong?
But my strong intuitions are tricky.
Often they lead towards a lesson,
not towards a new circumstance.
All of a sudden - Pesach 1996 - it was there:
the understanding, that I could and should go,
make a complete "lekh-lekhâ"
, a true Exodus.
Three days later - a second understanding:
"Go down to Egypt",
meaning that I should go on with my work in Sinai.
I never question such understandings.
I never hesitate to follow them without delay.
I needed to prepare for both-
for "going out" [yetzi'ah]
and for "going down" [yeridah].

With
some difficulty and with a ranger's help I found a place to stay, to repair my mobile home: outside the Alpacca Farm, 3 km from the Succayah.
|
|
I decided to do the going-out within a week, In that week I wrote "my Will", the "Succah-Testament". In
my attempt to transform the burning conflict I never completed the translation,
though, |

Since I have not died, but the situation has changed,
I need to re-write this will.
My experience with my successors in
the one and only Succayah on the one
hand,
and my
R&D of the pyramidal tent and the experience of living, creating,
interacting, suffering,
in Sinai and at the Red and Dead Sea between 1996-1999,
led me to an ever deeper, new understanding:
the model of a Succayah is nothing but a bridge between old and new.
It is still too permanent,
and the present painful and shameful conflict between the partners,
who each blame the other for wanting to make the Succayah a private business
with the prospect of raising the value of the land for later etc. etc.
makes me even more certain,
that the economic future will be in
mobile hosting-enterprises,
based on 12 pyramidal tents and a team of three owners!!
As to the model/place/business/company called "Succah in the Desert",
I want to analyze its principles
as outlined in the Memorandum that serves
as the basis for
the DESERT
RESOURCES COMPANY. LTD
For utilizing the Comparative Advantage of the Desert:
SPACE, PURITY, SILENCE (SPS),
a company for the benefit of the public.

"A
SUCCAYAH is based on two principles First
Principle:
Second
Principle:
Such
a small enterprise "SUCCAYAH" |
"The entrepreneur's "investment"
is a loan" This addition makes only sense As to the present one and only Succayah,
As to the first investment for a Succayah, |
But since the time is not ripe for
this condition to be fulfilled
as
made vivid by the very conflict between Avi and Gadi,
of which the situation in the Middle East is only a reflection,
the second part of the second principle has to be suspended.
For if the law of temporariness of the foster-parent
would be applied to this one and only succayah,
it would collapse.
A succayah - which is based on those 3 laws of temporariness -
can only function and prevail ,
if integrated into a stable socio-economic-technologic infrastructure.
