Looking where to place this and realized it needs a new thread. Have you looked and looked - knowing that we are out there but not being able to find communities where the likeminded dwell ? Have you searched and surfed and asked where are you- and not found....? There are communities - many that do not advertise. many that do not solicite for members. Especially in the starting phase 1 person not resonating can destroy any tentative harmony that the group might form. So those that have tried and had to move on to another try often find silence and Doing to be the best key to attract those of like mind . And as an added bonus - in the silence one more easily recognizes those of like mind. Many have cometo these forums to quietly announce that they are Doing and then gone on to Do.They do not come back and ask others to join - they know that those ready will see their postand respond - usually personally (not in public forum). Much gets done on the personal level that does not show in the public forums. One thing that those who attempt to manifest have found - is that the success or failure of the attempt does not matter near as much as the learning process. They do not give up - but move on to continue the process of creating places where those of like mind may gather. Slowly in these coming times more and more shall come to light - be seen - but not usually in the public domain - but through word of mouth, person to person - out of the light of the noise that tends to distract and ask so many questions that the initiative gets lost. So my friends when you hear of those that seem of like mind opening themselves to let you know that they are Doing - attempting to open a door - gather, go Do - don't talk it to death - action really is not talking and all too often the talking inhibits the action - yah a sad truth. so let me pass the talking stick on and go back in silence to sit at the blinking screen and watch and listen and leave it more and more , returning less and less - to Do....and success does not matter as much as what happens when you be true to yourSelf and Do what is in front of you to do - excuses and timing may not make it appear right in this Now, but in the Doing....It Shines. Loving you all Have at it Blessings Be along your Way Namaste (my spirit bows to your spirit)
Kollontai, Life has many strange twists and turns - best not to program in failure of any dreams or visions you might wish to manifest.....instead see it happening and if possible give your logical mind some way of making it happen - no matter how farfetched - It COULD happen (I play the lottery) Blessings Namaste
over the past few years here on the homestead things have come pretty much full circle, ,from opening doors to putting the word out there,, whether it was word of mouth or through writing and looking for folks to float through, ,,,, when you invite the world ,,, the world comes,,,, needless to say many things are learned over that period of time and things tend to get , rethought or revamped or perhaps we ourselves change along with what it is we are trying to achieve or perhaps, we have learned we are not truly trying to achieve anything more than what most people want in life...thus through trials n tribulations we have changed the way we go about many things here, some through trial n error some through attracting the not so like minded but would like to be and some because of our own personal reasons....There is no more website,online searching or photo galleries...everything from this point forward is word of mouth.... perhaps using this method and kind of bowing out of the limelight so to speak we will actually attract more of those that truly are more in line with our own beliefs, ideas and wishes rather than that of the world at large.... if not, then atleast those of us here know what it is we are truly striving for..... besides it takes loads of the strain out of the whole thing and I atleast can be a better human bean for it... luv n lite
Sounds like a solid philosophy to me. Sounds like you have found a more pragmatic approach to what actually works. Which is what any project has to do eventually.
Since my last attempt at communal living went sour, I am now only interested in getting to know people. If something seems great and after a long time of getting to know people, it happens, then great. But I am having a hard enough time finding one person to spend my life with, let alone several.
i guess it is too hard to find committed person to form a commune in the age of the emergence of generation me, which is a decade of individualism, ego is supreme than everythig else.
I think the same than you. And i just want to find a community where people do not live with this spirit of individualism... Don't you find this will be an utopic way of living? With lot of Love from my heart Julien
Old Wolf my friend I could not have said it better. I think you said it most eloquently. If you ever wanna contact me my hotmail account and Im is active again. Same name, same place. Still looking for a community. But I know that it will be when it shall be. Blessings follow right behind me I run and I search for what will be I run so fast and search so hard I wear myself out and get t'ard So I stop and sit to get some rest In my weariness I get blest For the blessings of life are following me Why can't I just learn to let them catch me I search so hard that I can't find I blind myself and cloud my mind I think I've found my hearts desire Just to find its a muddy quagmire Dragging me down into dark-ness Why can't I just learn to bless In blessing others our needs are met Peace be still and in just being let Let life's blessings overtake you Learn to BE and to LOVE be true You'll find happiness and your commune Heed my words and you'll be moving soon! Peace, Cricket Shadowolf
t'is ever the way of it ....... listening to the song of the cricket as in the shadows the wolf slips by. when we are ready it is before us - as it always was - waiting for us to be ready. And who knows the lessons, even when they do not seem such, that we must be learning before we are truly ready. For in this time of Change, t'would be best iffn we did not slip along the way, for we are thread tied one to another, and 1 slipping may draw others after. waiting can be tedious .... - but realizing that the adventure starts in the perception changes all and where we are in the Now becomes enough. Blessings to you lady....travel on in Wholeness coming Home. Namaste
We are in Livingston,MT. just north of Yellowstone. At the end of this summer we will be moving to ?????? We are in the process of finding a diesel bus and would love to travel, putting our energy into a communities along the way. Wendy,myself(Matt),and our daughter Moira who is three, our friend and her son. We are in the process of downsizing our posessions in order to live on a bus. Any suggestions on where to find a good diesel/bio/veggie/solar. Hope to find one a.s.a.p but we know that the process takes time. Peace,Love and Light. Us
ho big sky.. talk to blinkin of the highway child....he's turned on a few to busses and always has his ear to the ground for them blessings....
Thanks Old Wolf My totem is Running Wolf, I have done communal living since '96 starting with the Lama Foundation meditating with Ram Das. I have lived at Twin Oaks for 5 yrs til '04, then my true Journey began: TRUST..............Jump & the net will appear The Universe Does provide. The Law of Attraction is truly it for me. I have been to Enota in Georgia, Sunrise in Colorado with the Emissaries of Divine Light, volunteered with Common Ground in New Orleans as a Kitchen Coordinator, 3 weeks as a bookkeeper with Eden Botanicals in Trinity County way northern California, pruning trees and cooking at Claymont in West Virginia, 90 minutes west of Washington, DC., always trusting that where I land is preparing me more for life or just showing me more aobut myself to challenge me to go deeper. I am open to ALL possibilities, I sometimes thought that I was in a place of not knowing, that I had been forsaken. I was recently in a community in the Sierra Nevada foothills learning Shamanism from a tribe of folks living the AA way. Life has its twists and turns, I am manifesting quicker than before "WHEN" I trust in what the Universe provides. I am so grateful for the ability to descend into my body to "feel" what it is to be hu-man, to ground to the realities of there being no bad choices, they are all opportunities for growth edge. I am seeing duality as the Way...today I see no right or wrong, no white or black, just opportunity. Today I am in a new community in central Texas, Echowood is its name. I am helping them with my 12 yrs experience with accounting, cooking for Retreats, membership, guidelines in making community work, eagalitarianism, conflict resolution, landscaping and I am letting go of the problems and living in the solutions just for today. This is not my last place to rest, as I know there is much more to my Journey. I have bartered for the last 7 yrs and it works well, as I see not "needing" much to live anymore, I even do not "want" as much anymore. It is ALL GOOD. Kenric Pierce aka Dragonwolf Wizard
woo hoo Dragonwolfwizard, please feel free to share ...so many here need to Know ...have ideals of what they think they want, without the practical experience the opportunities of Doing provide. yah ...I also spent some time much earlier up in taos area at lama with Sufi Sam and Ram Das ...gosh way in the early 70's. You get to the east coast and feel so inclined, stop in and visit...we don't put out much in the public domain ..... feeling that spirit operates better that way... so it's been slow , but wonderful learning and growing. Directions and phone numbers are available through PM or e mail should you feel drawn this Way Blessing Be along the Way Namaste
Old wolf Thank you for the invitation and its also good someone knows what I speak. I am now traveling by Spirit as my Guide, although, I know that there is more to the process. I am helping these folks out, being that I am 20 yrs older than them all. I like the feel of mid 30's folks, to generate my understanding of this generation that is living what they speak. I have been to Vermont to check out community, I have ridden Greyhound all over the upstate, love the lay of the land, have often looked for community in the Finger Lakes region. Ness Community is near you, I believe, they are living by the Foxfire book idea's. I am a nomadic gypsy, trusting that when it is time to move on the money will appear, as will the transportation and the desire to leave here. I will have to say that the World is changing, in many ways. I am perhaps a Pioneer in this age of fast cars, big money and greed, I seek peace, happiness & relationship with the Mother to bring forth my integrity to live simply. You may hear from me again.
