LOVE

For love, not money.

LOVE stands for Locally Organised Voluntary Economy.

It is time for people around the world to come together and start forming their own locally resilient communities.

LOVE is an idea, with some principles, to help people start their own LOVE network where they live. It is a network of loving exchange, mutual support and caring for one another, based on the only true cashless economy. This is The People’s Global Reset.

What the words mean

  • Locally: each network belongs to its own place and its own people.
  • Organised: people arrange it themselves, in their own way.
  • Voluntary: everything is given freely.
  • Economy: the sharing of what we have and what we can do for one another.

A wider movement

LOVE is part of a wider movement of people around the world. In their own way, they are all feeling that this is what is needed in their own communities. LOVE does not try to control any of that. It offers some ideas and principles to help anyone who would like to start their own LOVE network.

The principles of LOVE

These principles stay the same everywhere. They cannot be changed.

  1. Local. A LOVE network belongs to its own place and its own people, and is formed by the people who live there.
  2. Organised by the people. People organise it themselves. No outside person or organisation owns it, runs it or decides for it.
  3. Voluntary. Everything is given freely, in whatever way each person wishes. Nobody is made to take part, and nobody is obliged to give.
  4. Cashless. No money is used within the network. Nothing is bought or sold, and nobody is paid or charged. Nobody may make money from it. Nobody keeps count of who has given or received.
  5. Loving exchange. People share what they have and what they can do, and care for one another through mutual support.
  6. Open to everyone. Everyone in the community is welcome to take part.
  7. No central authority. Heartmind holds the principles of LOVE and nothing else. It does not direct, manage or control any network.

What each community decides for itself

How a network is run, what is shared, how people meet and talk, and how it grows. LOVE can be adapted in whatever way helps that community. The success of a network depends on the people in it keeping to the principles of LOVE.

Responsibility

LOVE is an idea and a set of principles. Every community that uses it is responsible for how it uses it, and for everything done in its network. Heartmind is not responsible for any network, or for anything done in the name of LOVE. Heartmind is responsible only for the principles and for the material it produces to help the idea of a Locally Organised Voluntary Economy.

Use of the name

A network that keeps all seven principles may call itself a LOVE network.

The idea

The idea of LOVE is part of the work of Heartmind and the Friends of Heartmind community. It is offered freely, to be used by anyone, but not for making money. We will develop it together in the LOVE group on Facebook.

LOVE is offered freely under a Creative Commons licence. You may share it and build on it, with credit to Heartmind. It may not be used to make money. If you build on it, you must share what you make in the same way, with the same conditions.
