The Vision of Paul Elvère DELSART, aka Henry HARPER.pdf

as the Mediterranean region or small municipalities), FULLER takes a more abstract and global approach,
operating on a planetary scale from the outset. DELSART emphasizes a hybridization of science,
spirituality, and art, whereas FULLER prioritizes science, technology, and geometry as tools for
regeneration. DELSART’s model is strongly embodied in physical and social infrastructures, conceived as
spaces for cultural and educational transformation. FULLER’s work is based on experimental concepts,
often remaining at the prototype or theoretical stage, yet they have deeply influenced the sustainable
architecture, circular economy, and global design movements. Conclusion: Paul Elvere DELSART and
Buckminster FULLER represent two complementary figures of global alternative thought. Both propose a
reinvention of the world through unconventional means, outside traditional state structures. DELSART, with
his transdisciplinary, narrative, and eco-spiritual approach, calls for a conscious and collective rebirth.
FULLER, with his perspective as a poetic engineer of Earth, urges a systemic reinvention of global
operations through precision and innovation. The former creates an immersive world where every citizen
becomes an agent of sensitive, tangible, and symbolic change. The latter imagines a world in which welldesigned systems free humans to focus on what truly matters: creativity and the intelligent survival of the
species.
3 – Comparative analysis between Paul Elvere DELSART and Pierre RABHI (1938–2021)
Worldview and Core Intentions: Paul Elvere DELSART and Pierre RABHI share a critical perspective on
the modern world: they both see the current civilizational trajectory as unsustainable for both humanity and
the planet. They each seek to establish a new societal model based on simplicity, harmony with nature,
social justice, and a deep transformation of human values. For Pierre RABHI, the answer to the global crisis
lies in “happy sobriety”—a form of voluntary and ethical simplicity in harmony with all living beings. He
advocates for an inner revolution and a return to the land as the foundation for a post-materialistic model. He
emphasizes local rootedness, agroecology, voluntary simplicity, and spirituality. Paul Elvere DELSART,
meanwhile, proposes a participatory global reconfiguration through the EL4DEV program, which combines
natural geoengineering, information technologies, immersive fictions, and decentralized cooperation. His
approach is more systemic, technological, and large-scale. He aims to transform not only individual
practices but also collective structures through innovative projects such as Vegetal Calderas and the
educational cities LE PAPILLON SOURCE. Methods and Tools for Transformation: Pierre RABHI relies
on oral transmission, reflective writing, educational farms, and local exemplarity. His primary tool is
agroecological practice—viewed as both a philosophical and agricultural act. He founded initiatives such as
the Colibris movement, which encourages each person to “do their part.” Paul Elvere DELSART operates
within a much more complex and technological framework: he proposes a societal model based on social
economic interest groups, a global participatory information system (EL4DEV Big Smart Data), societal
diplomacy, and narrative immersion where the line between fiction and reality is intentionally blurred. His
action is structured across multiple layers (local, national, continental) in the spirit of a civilizational roleplaying game. Relationship to Nature and Spirituality: For Pierre RABHI, nature is sacred. He adopts a
radical eco-spiritual approach, closely aligned with rural traditions and a mystical connection to the Earth.
He speaks of “Mother Earth” and promotes a direct, emotional, and respectful bond with life. His spirituality
is intimate, quiet, stripped-down, often drawn from a syncretism of Sufi, Christian, and Indigenous wisdoms.
In Paul Elvere DELSART’s work, spirituality is embedded within a systemic approach, infused with
esotericism, symbolism, and reinvented mythology. It is embodied in both material and symbolic
structures—such as the plant-based commanderies of the Green Empire of the East and the West—and in an
augmented eco-spiritual transhumanist vision. His relationship with nature involves soft technology, which
amplifies the biosphere’s regenerative capacities while staying in harmony with living cycles. Territorial
Anchoring and Scale of Action: Pierre RABHI operates mainly on a local, human scale. He advocates for
small farms, relocalization, and autonomous grassroots initiatives. He believes that transformation begins in
the intimacy of simple acts, guided by a logic of community resilience. Paul Elvere DELSART initiates his
projects at the local level but with a transnational ambition. Small municipalities serve as the foundation of a
globally interconnected system, designed to be modeled, replicated, and expanded across the planet. The
goal is not to retreat from the world but to structurally reshape it by integrating social, ecological, cultural,
and technological dimensions. Language and Public Stance: RABHI uses simple, accessible, poetic
language, filled with popular wisdom. He speaks of human humility before creation, of the importance of
slowing down, and of reconnecting with what truly matters. DELSART employs a conceptual,
