re-posting to some comments about how a community is wrong becuase we should not seclude ourselves.

but why cant we have a community/retreat that is open for all who are seeking wisdom of spirituality and humble living and giving? it doesnt have to be secluded at all!!

is this concept not the basis of organized religion? have they not proven to be about seclusion, judgmentally, and superiority? and what is the purpose of our incarnation on earth? is it not to be happy and emanate our light onto others? you say the community isnt about seclusion. how is it not, when the people who needs our presence most are the ones who are spiritually disconnected?

believe me, most of us here would love to live in harmony with other like-minded people also. but is this the most effective way to spread love and light to those who needs it most? and isnt the core issue with this (those who are interested in creating this community), has more to do with creating an 'escape' from your own current reality?
