Indrek Tamre, a visionary, geobiologist, feng shui and pendulum specialist, and spiritual mentor, originally penned his series of essays titled What Kind of Estonia Do I Want to Live In? for an essay competition announced by President Ilves in 2007. While the first two essays remained unpublished, the third was featured in the collection Millises Eestis Ma Tahan Elada? Vabariigi Presidendi Esseevõistlus 2007. ¹ Recognizing the timeless values and universal relevance of Tamre's work, I have adapted and published all three essays to resonate with a global audience. Through these writings, Tamre presents enduring and invaluable ideas that transcend national borders, advocating for a world rich in wisdom, health, safety, joy, cultural heritage, environmental stewardship, and the empowering use of language. These essays offer a transformative blueprint for spiritual awakening and societal liberation, inviting readers to reimagine their communities as spaces that nurture, elevate, and foster holistic well-being for all.
Indrek Tamer's vision: In which country do I want to Live?
A short answer to the question "In Which Country Do I Want to Live?" is: in a wealthy country. A longer answer would be that I want to live in a country rich in wisdom, health, safety, joy, cleanliness, space, and with a rich language.
Rethinking safety and the prison system
A cornerstone of any thriving society is safety—not just physical safety, but emotional and spiritual safety as well. This includes safe environments in international relations, within communities, in nature, and in homes and schools.
Traditional views on justice often focus on punishment and retribution, yet a more enlightened approach suggests that we should instead view wrongdoers as individuals in need of healing and education.
Indrek Tamre’s reflections challenge us to rethink our current prison systems, which are often harsh environments that perpetuate cycles of violence and criminal behavior. Rather than seeing criminals as inherently evil individuals who need to be punished, Tamre suggests viewing them as people suffering from ignorance or illness—individuals who need the opportunity to learn, heal, and recover. By shifting our perspective in this way, society itself can begin to change for the better.
Tamre advocates for a radical transformation of the prison system, proposing the replacement of traditional prisons with what he calls "retreats" or "places of contemplation." In these facilities, individuals would be privately isolated in soundproofed rooms designed to promote self-reflection, learning, and healing. These rooms would include basic sanitary facilities controlled electronically to prevent any form of self-harm or disturbance.
Isolation, in Tamre’s view, should be a tool for education and self-realization. By being alone with their thoughts and behaviors, individuals may come to recognize the futility of carrying on with destructive qualities and instead opt for returning to peace. To support this process, each "retreat" would offer resources such as books, audio recordings, and opportunities for creative and therapeutic activities. These might include growing plants, raising small animals, or engaging in music and color therapy.
A key aspect of Tamre's proposal is the complete isolation of individuals from one another, preventing the formation of social circles that often perpetuate criminal behavior after release. Privacy and anonymity would be maintained by staff and other inmates alike, with interactions occurring through letters, phone calls, or behind the protective veil of dark glasses and masks.
Moreover, Tamre suggests a comprehensive "Palle’s Retreat" program, named after the story of Palle Alone in the World. ² The isolated person is gradually reintroduced to human contact and societal norms through a structured series of activities and communications. This could include speaking with psychologists, watching educational films, or learning new skills to prepare for life after release. The goal of such a program is not to punish but to rehabilitate, offering individuals the chance to reintegrate into society as healthier, more balanced people.
This approach stands in stark contrast to the current prison system, which Tamre argues often acts as a breeding ground for further criminal behavior. By focusing on isolation as a means of healing rather than punishment, society can move towards a system that truly rehabilitates, reduces recidivism, and ultimately, creates safer communities. If successful, Tamre suggests, this model could even prove to be more cost-effective for society, addressing the root causes of criminal behavior rather than simply managing its symptoms.
Rethinking religion and the power of language
The quest for a joyful and content society often brings us face to face with the deeply ingrained beliefs and traditions that shape our collective consciousness. Indrek Tamre suggests that true liberation and happiness cannot be fully realized until we address both spiritual and linguistic shackles that bind us. While some societies have physically freed themselves from oppressive systems, many individuals continue to suffer under the weight of spiritual and psychological burdens.
Tamre points out that organized religions, much like oppressive political systems, can contribute to widespread suffering. Historically, organized religions have been responsible for significant violence and strife, such as the Crusades, the Inquisition, and even modern-day conflicts. These tragedies remind us that when religion is imposed upon others, it can become a source of division and pain rather than peace and unity. Tamre argues that for humanity to survive and thrive, individuals must start by examining their own beliefs, moving away from victim mentality and imposed doctrines towards personal spiritual liberation. ³
In addition to the influence of religion, Tamre highlights the role of language in shaping our psychological and emotional states. The words we use daily carry energies that can either uplift or weigh us down. For instance, common expressions like "I worry about this" often reinforce a mindset of anxiety. By frequently using the word "worry," we anchor ourselves in fear and unease, rather than fostering a sense of calm and positivity. Shifting our language to more empowering expressions can lead to a more constructive and uplifting mindset. ³
This principle extends to many other common phrases that unconsciously limit our awareness and awakening. When we say, "I can't do this," we close ourselves off from possibilities. Reframing this to "I'll find a way to do this" opens up avenues for greater understanding and potential. Similarly, "It's too hard" can be rephrased as "It's a challenge I can embrace," encouraging readiness and openness rather than defeat.
Tamre also draws attention to how certain proverbs can trap us in cycles of suffering. Sayings like "No pain, no gain" suggest that suffering is an essential part of life, reinforcing the idea that we must endure hardship to find peace. While resilience is valuable, this focus on struggle can lead us to seek out or even create difficulties unnecessarily, binding us to cycles of hardship rather than allowing us to experience joy and ease.
By being mindful of our language, we can gradually shift from a mindset of limitation and negativity to one of empowerment and awareness. This conscious use of language not only enhances our own well-being but also positively influences those around us, contributing to a more harmonious and supportive environment. Tamre’s insights remind us that true liberation comes not only from freeing ourselves from external chains but also from the internal language we use to define our reality.
The importance of shifting cultural narratives
Our cultural heritage is rich with proverbs and sayings that emphasize endurance and the acceptance of hardship. While these expressions have their place, they can also inadvertently keep us trapped in cycles of suffering. For instance, the proverb "What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger" implies that adversity is necessary for finding inner peace. However, this belief can encourage us to tolerate unnecessary suffering, under the mistaken assumption that it will lead to awakening. It’s important to recognize that while pain is a part of life, lingering in it or assigning it undue significance can prevent us from experiencing the freedom that comes from letting go. ³
In a similar vein, consider the idea behind "Love begets love." This expression suggests that the love you put out into the world will come back to you. If you put in the work, you create work; if you put in effort, you create effort. But if you want love, you must give love—because love begets love. Just as you reap what you sow, when you love your work, your work will love you back. However, if we misunderstand this, we might believe that merely enduring and laboring through life’s difficulties will somehow automatically lead to fulfillment, when in reality, it is the conscious, loving intention behind our actions that truly makes the difference.
In rethinking these cultural narratives, Tamre encourages us to embrace language and beliefs that promote liberation, balance, and the pursuit of well-being. Instead of glorifying struggle, we can cultivate a mindset that values joy, ease, and the present moment. This shift not only frees us from unnecessary burdens but also allows us to live more fully and harmoniously, both with ourselves and with others.
Embracing spaciousness, purity and sustainable living
Spaciousness—both physical and mental—is a vital component of well-being. Indrek Tamre emphasizes the importance of space in our living environments, highlighting that different species, including humans, require different amounts of space to thrive. For instance, an oak tree needs far more space than a hazel, and an eagle requires more space to roam than a sparrow. Similarly, people from different cultures have varying needs for personal space. Some cultures, like those in northern Europe, often require more personal space to feel comfortable, while others might thrive in closer proximity. This need for space is not merely a cultural preference; it reflects a deeper, universal requirement for balance and well-being in our living environments. ⁴
Tamre argues that suitable living spaces must account for the unique needs of individuals and communities. This includes considerations like the size of the area per inhabitant, access to scenic views, green spaces, and the ability to move freely and naturally within one’s environment. Urban planning, therefore, should prioritize these elements, ensuring that cities and towns provide ample room for residents to live comfortably and healthily. ⁴
To promote this ideal, Tamre advocates for the introduction of new terms and concepts that reflect our connection to nature and our commitment to sustainability. He suggests creating environments that embrace greenery at every level, coining terms such as "green village," "organic space," "living city," and "living home" to describe communities that are designed with sustainability and environmental harmony at their core. For example, instead of the commonly used term "eco," which may sound harsh in some languages, Tamre proposes using words inspired by organic farming, such as "organic home," "organic café," or "organic village." These terms emphasize a softer, more harmonious approach to living that is in tune with the natural world. ⁴
Richness in purity includes pure thoughts, pure people, clean living spaces, clean villages and cities, and clean nature. Tamre underscores the importance of preserving clean and healthy environments as a central theme in his vision. He highlights the need to protect our natural spaces from the threats posed by pollution, particularly the dangers associated with nuclear waste. No land is safe from earthquakes. Rather than burdening future generations with the risks of nuclear storage (like having “bombs under our children’s beds”), the author encourages the adoption of renewable energy sources like wind and solar power, which are safer and more sustainable. This approach not only preserves the purity of our environment but also ensures that we leave a healthier world for our children and grandchildren. ⁴
Tamre’s vision extends to the concept of sustainable tourism and environmental education through the development of nature-based retreats and educational centers. These centers would be connected by bicycle paths, ensuring that visitors can enjoy and learn about nature in a way that minimizes their environmental impact. These "green roads" and "nature camps" would offer opportunities for people to study plants and engage with the natural environment, fostering a deep connection with nature and respect for its preservation. ⁴
Moreover, Tamre envisions urban spaces that are filled with life and joy, rather than becoming memorials to the past. He warns against the trend of turning green spaces into mourning grounds, which can transform vibrant cities into "mourning cities." Instead, he advocates for filling urban environments with elements that celebrate life—flowers, trees, bushes, parks, playgrounds, fountains, and joyful sculptures—so that residents can truly experience the joy of living in a "living city." These joyous and artistic expressions not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of cities but also contribute to the mental and emotional well-being of their inhabitants. ⁴
Finally, Tamre reminds us of the importance of preserving forests and natural habitats as part of our cultural and spiritual heritage. Just as forests have been sacred spaces for many cultures throughout history, they remain vital to our survival today. Forests symbolize perseverance, vitality, and adaptability. For example, a deciduous tree, when broken, will sprout new shoots and continue to grow, demonstrating resilience and the cycle of renewal. Trees also serve as living symbols of our connection to the earth, providing clean air, using solar energy, and maintaining the health of the environment. ⁴
By embracing spaciousness, sustainable living, and the preservation of nature, we can create environments that support both the physical and mental well-being of individuals and communities. Tamre’s vision encourages us to design our living spaces—whether urban, rural, or natural—in ways that honor the earth and foster a deeper connection with the world around us. This approach not only ensures a healthier, more sustainable future but also nurtures a sense of peace and well-being for all.
Conclusion
Indrek Tamre's vision for a society rich in wisdom, health, safety, joy, and spiritual fulfillment offers a transformative perspective on how we can shape our communities. Through his insightful reflections on justice, language, urban design, spaciousness, and environmental cleanliness, Tamre challenges us to rethink the structures of modern life and embrace a more enlightened approach to living. His ideas, though deeply rooted in his love for Estonia, resonate universally, providing a blueprint for any nation striving for a harmonious and sustainable future. By adopting the principles of holistic well-being, linguistic empowerment, and environmental stewardship, we can contribute to the creation of a more vibrant, joyful, and spiritually awakened world—one where every individual has the opportunity to thrive, and societies are built on the foundations of love, respect, and interconnectedness.
