Evolving Enlightenment via "Real" Community
If we’re set on creating
change, on doing things differently, we must
be prepared for loneliness. As someone noted,
“It’s lonely to get to the future first.” We
can’t expect to be joined by a lot of people.
We will always be the minority. We have to
expect to be invisible, even if our new
approaches are very successful. Below the
radar, if we don’t need recognition, we can
get a lot of good work done. Yet when two, three, four or more join in creating positive change, the loneliness vanishes and Love arises. Add "Truth" and it goes up exponentially! (Last 2 sentences are my addition) |
An INSIGHT One of the important insights is to recognize that an infection point may be a cusp that moves upwards for us, or it can be a tipping point inflection that can easily move forward or simply falls back to the prior path. What makes the difference is your intention and action ! Be the change you desire ! CRISIS The old Chinese charactergram for "CRISIS", captures this two-fold dynamic well: It is composed of two elements. One representing "Danger" and the other "Opportunity". What makes the .difference in the outcome? It is both "Awareness" and an active intent to seek out and manifest the good. Greater awareness leads us to manifesting "Love & Truth" as the highest good. |
The
Nobel prize winning physicist Ilya
Prigogine put it beautifully. “When a system is far from equilibrium, small islands of coherence have the capacity to shift the entire system”. The challenge is do Donald Trump's chaotic "Proud Boys" or "Win at any cost!" politicians become the dominant groups of pathological coherence in our country OR ... do we come together in greater coherence among us for manifesting greater "Love & Truth" ? Conscious groupings of honest, loving & mature deep friendship; are the needed ISLANDS of sanity/coherence. And they inherently can not be had or created within the densest centers of chaos. i.e. cities. Far too vulnerable. Next to impossible to be "coherent" when the overwhelming energy around us is 'incoherent' or 'chaotic' ! For example democratic USA could not evolve while still located within King George's monarchy ruled Great Britain. We had to come to an non-ruled space for that evolution to occur. Now there is no new 'undeveloped' land / country to flee to. We have to find the least controlled / contaminated space here where "Love & Truth" can be the evolving direction. Its why we are here, in the country. Holding space creating "Islands of Sanity" for you and whoever else is sane, truly a rational, loving, financially solid adult. Done with Much LOVE and Conscious compassion for you, for us, and for other community creations at any location. We are creating "Real" communities as islands of sanity. -- Eric |
Hopi Elder Speaks
"We are the ones we've
been waiting for." You have been telling the people that this is the 11th hour. Now you must go back and tell the people that this is the Hour. And there are things to be considered. . . . Where are you living? What are you doing? What are your relationships? Are you in right relation? Where is your water? Know your garden. It is time to speak your Truth. Create your community. Be good to each other. And do not look outside of yourself for the leader." Then he clasped his hands together, smiled, and said, "This could be a good time! There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold onto the shore. They will feel that they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly. Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open and our heads above the water. And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally. Least of all, ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt. The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the word struggle from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do must now be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. We are the ones we've been
waiting for."

"After
living in an intentional community for 5
years, it took this workshop, and a
willingness to commit to this process, to
finally experience community within myself and
then the experience of true intimate community
with others." Margo "I can't imagine a more enabling experience for groups in almost any stage of forming a Co-Housing community than a Relationship / Community workshop such as those conducted by Eric Best." Pat Denslow, Pasadena, California |
