It seems to me that the definition of 'psychological health' at the 'fully healthy' level involves the capacity for sublimation - and specifically - Daily Sublimation. Daily Sublimation can be defined as the regular reset, every morning, when a person does the necessary internal work to gain a fully creative approach to that day's activities. This means that a person may need to start by processing bothersome things, so they are not a drag in the day - and so that one is able to tap one's full creative power on a daily basis. This comes to me in the Ukraine War, when the suffering there is overwhelming and a historical turning point, and it can lead to depression if not sublimated. For me personally, I simply focus on asking at what level of economic power can I have a major influence on causing peace, through an absolutely creative approach along the lines of Open Source Ecology - and thereafter going about pursuing this goal. It clarifies that the work of OSE must go to addressing governance and security issues globally. I started Global Governance, which is still all words unless there is economic power to back it up. This is purely inspiring, as it provides a clear goal on creating solutions.

Daily sublimation is the daily work required to keep oneself clean and inspired - otherwise the weight of the world begins to build up and becomes a serious psychological threat. Today 85% of people don't like their jobs [1], 1/4 are optimistic about the future in the US [2], and 57% are looking for more meaning [3], and about 50% of Americans thinks that the future will suck [4]. From my viewpoint, that is a failure to grow and sublimate. It's a great opportunity, as we can help people learn growth and sublimation. Growth is a fundamental process - we either grow or perish. Sublimation takes practice. It's a choice which everyone has.

Some great evolution yesterday on teh SEH Core Economic Model - but the complexity of execution arises in terms of due diligence in a highly regulated environment, as well as the issue of financing. Solution for the first is sublimation - documenting techniques and equipment for survey, title due diligence, utility connection due diligence, soil test and bearing qualities, excavation costs, site analysis and potential engineering, closing, title transfer - and other legal/financial due diligence. If we can document all this and teach it - that generates thousands of dollars of extra value - that stays in our pockets and saves money for the customer. For example - a surve, soil test, excavation, and going off-grid electrical - saves us thousands right there. For the grid issue - with a smart house that uses no grid - we have only the boiling of water (tea = 1/24 kwhr, or about 1/6 kWhr if inefficiency is considered) - then a 1 kWhr battery bank can do it for us for $100 - see (Motorcycle Batteries). Thus here we are going in at the same cost (minus $1.5k utility connection) etc. If there is a transformer involved, that is $3-7k and definitely worthwhile. Ok, in any case - the general idea is saving thousands, and providing more value. Actual case studies of savings arise only upon experience - so we need to track data specifically. Autonomous water/electric is a great solution and we should put that explicitly on the roadmap.

Summary of sublimation: we do a win-win for house owner/OSE - by studying the details and teaching our students, we provide more integrated skill sets and more diverse work - for constant learning. Because we thus enter the info economy - we also capture more value.

Ok, to financing. Going to SEH Core Enterprise Module.
