hello just be and all,

i totally see what you are saying, and this is why i have had to ponder on how this can be done without the seclusion of ourselves.

first, i want to say, david might disagree with me and the ra soul group might disagree....but the place i dream of is a part of me, almost like its what im meant to do. the topic of a 'community' like place in reference to all of as a group coming together. i myself have been wishing for a place to open myself and since last yr. im working on a psychology degree and i found a place that one can get ordained in many different religions or general spiritualities. you might disagree with me on this, but i believe nothing is happenstance....so i believe that religions are not happenstance and carry a purpose of wisdom to teach us about the ages of our fellow man. most people do stop at one religion, for comfort that they have truth and wisdom....and do not continue on the next road of finding one's spirituality. i believe we each have slightly different paths, this path is not found in a day and the influence of others as well as the availability of a variety of materials provided to study many many different cultures, beliefs, myths and sciences of ages are utterly important, if not necessary, for some to experience.

with that said, no i do not think this concept is the basis of organized relgion because there shouldnt be anyone telling others what to believe. if you want to study materials that dont believe in reincarnation, then you would be free to do so. if you want to study materials about any belief, the material would be waiting for you and there would be a 'librarian' lets say, to help you find materials of your interests.

what would be so special about this is that its a place to find the inner self, and that might be a path of many twists.

there was something i remember about going to church that has left imiprints on me and that was the envolvment in the city that the church acted in. at christmas we took gifts and food to needing families, every month we had a certain amount of goods to give to families that would come in and ask for clothes and food. we even had a softball team that played in the regular city leagues (ymca) haha.

with my ideas i tried to mesh them a litle with the idea that we all could do this, we all could help 'run' such a place.

there would be no judgmentally and superiority.....it would be just like it is here.....welcoming arms that reach out. we wouldnt be telling people you should believe in this and that and if you dont then you are lost ectt ectt....no one here would ever want to be a part of something that did that. but i think alot will say that their searches through different beliefs did help them to a degree, but the difference is they realized, there had to be more.

i dont think its escaping any realitiy (sorry we see things different)....i more see it as the reality of showing others how we all can live productive with eachother and the planet, showing others, we dont have to fight, showing others about working together, and showing others, you have the right to your mind and your thoughts.

the only ones that would need to be a live in in my idea of what i see as a community would be the main managers for caring for the lands and housing for kitchen areas and storage for foods. the community area would be more of a retreat...some place you could bring your family to for a weekend, garden together, prepare meals together, and a great library to study in for whatever suits you (including the law of one....but it wouldn't be pushed, just available).

just adding my thoughts,

peace to all,
lynette

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?
