Worldwide Integration Communities


The most Common Understanding out there, is that the Whole New Community Formation trip will just come together naturally out of the unconscious pairings, of the variously different peoples wants and needs, and aspirations, which will link right up, with the other peoples monetary resources, and aspirations, in accordance with market forces, and the attractions, and the wants and desires, what people like, and with some consideration given for the skills, and abilities they may have, and the various things that they can do, along with the Men and the Children that they may bring along, in exchange, for their own needs being met, in one way, or another.

And this does seem to make perfectly good sense, that we could simply barter and exchange our way into Ultimate Community, or simply Buy our way into other peoples Communities, and that our desire for these communities, would cause them to spring into existence, in a small way, and then to grow, just as we would normally expect to be able, to Buy, and Sell, or to Barter and Exchange, our Way Out of a place where we used to live, into a place where we would like to live, when we have grown tired of that, by selling the old home, in the old place, and then buying the new home, in the new place.

In this way of thinking, the Market should take care of the whole thing both ways, since it is all just about properties and skills which can be expected to line right up with each other, and so we could simply rely upon those market forces to do the work for us.

I think most of the communities out there have been pushing this version of reality. And maybe we have all been sucked into it to a certain extent. But it may well be that we have had that wrong, for decades now, and that the many new communities that should be springing up all over, as a result of Market Forces, working on desire, teaming up with supply and demand, are actually not going to simply come together, as most people would expect, just because of Market pressure, or by supply and demand.

We might even try putting together a big enough Data Base, that would allow us to proceed, and to communicate all of our differently various wants, and desires, and needs, and resources, by simply matching the wants and needs, of those who do have the property/monetary or material resources, and by matching the aspirations, with the resources skills and abilities, wants, needs, aspirations, and desires of others, as it would be, in the Global Market, here on the Internet, where there are many forums of communication and exchange, or by using barter and exchange techniques, and so we might have been wrong to expect that the Market can be expected to simply take care of it all.

But why not? We know that if more people need housing, then more housing will be built, by profit motive driven Developers, who are always looking for new projects. And the need for a thousand new EcoVillages should have been picked up on by somebody, one might assume, so it would only follow that if more people wanted Community, then more communities would be built, by highly Motivated Developers. But this may not be the case with Community, which may not work in accordance with the same principles, because the community is about Relationship, and not Real Estate.

We may have had a lot of this wrong.

If it is true that we have had this all wrong, then maybe that is why we don't have a lot more EcoVillage Communities popping up everywhere.

The wants and needs are out there, or at least the desires, and the aspirations, because there are a lot of people who do want it. But the people who need community, and have something to offer, don't seem to be fitting together, as they should, not with the people who have the material resources, and so the barter system may not work either, even if we were to go beyond money, since it is not just about trading the things that we already have, because there needs to be a better focus.

Let us know why you don't think the wants and needs, and offerings to work, in exchange, hardly ever fits together, into the full blown community that simply spreads worldwide, into one big happy family?

One part of it might be that these needs don't add up to anything of any positive value. That may be because those needs are in reference to deficiencies. That may be why the Consumer Economy cannot save us. A need is actually a negative. You cannot count that, on the positive side, as a value, as it is not a value, but it is a deficiency.

That whole thing we call the Consumer Economy, is built on deficiencies, or debts, such as that people need things, or they think they need things, and they can be made to want things, even if only to keep up with appearances, and so they will buy things, and to buy things, they will need to get the money to buy things, so they will work jobs, work the system, or they will run scams, and this greed, or desire to get ahead, will then drive the economy, which is now filled with scams, like pay day loans, which are totally unproductive. But if the needs don't count, what about the Positive Contributions?

Even the Initial Positive Contributions may dissipate very quickly, without a completely Organic New System, which will protect those resources, from scams, or being exploited by the forces of need and greed.

Working towards that New System, could be called Organic-Integration.

The few times that wants and needs and wishes and fantasies and desires and the materials, property, and monetary resources do add up, might be the happy exception, but this may not be anything we can any longer depend upon, to drive the solutions needed for a new Economic EcoSystem.

Those consumer considerations, of supply and demand, and how the Global Marketplace works on Greed, or a desire to get ahead, may well be, exactly what drives the world of Business, Finance, and the Global Economies of Today, and it may be that Barter is just a rougher scaled down version of that whole marketplace ideal, and a Mutual Gifting Economy could even be an Archaic Older Version, of Barter, and that may be the one we will all have to return to, which is all fine, but it is still not what drives the creation of the new Economic EcoSystem, and it is not what drives the Economic EcoSystem, of the Worldwide Community Creation Network, which will be responsible, for the creation of these New Communities that will be needed, as the Gifting Economy can only be expected to kick in, after these communities have been set up to almost run themselves, meaning that the maintenance becomes very easy once everything necessary, is already built and paid for.

People Power is Key, but it is not the only answer either, not in its raw state or disorganization, so raw People Power may not be enough, without the right kind of organization, as that can quickly meltdown, or dissipate into nothing, as the crowd skitters and scatters, which is not adequately integrated, simply as a result of mud slinging, because they have no staying power, not as they are today.


The Social Life is nothing we can rely upon either, as that works like a Marketplace as well. The people cannot be expected to be naturally attracted to each other over the Internet.

Socializing a few of the People can actually be helpful, in some cases, but in others the imposition of the rules of Polite Society, might be in the way of our progress, towards reaching ever closer to Universal Integration, but the entire community cannot be based on the potential Social Life, because that is only a game, that I will act like I like you, only if you will act like you like me, as it was in junior high school, where the socialites flock together, but only with others who can help them to advance their own programs, and so that may not be sustainable.

When the connection is entirely Social in nature, then we have nothing to keep the community together, since that too, is only a short term construct, which works like a game, in full accordance with market forces, and so it may be that it actually has no reality, and so it may have no lasting power. We are looking to base things on that which is real.

What really brings the community together, and holds it together, is not to focus on the People, and all their ordinary little needs, to fit in, as if with honor, for nothing, which is just more of the same kind of social manipulation game, which is not sustainable, and so a whole new wave of Community Organizers, will have to ask all the interested new people, who want to connect up to something completely different, to give that up, and to connect up, in this New Vision, along entirely New Lines, not with the old soft line, of putting the Peoples Needs first, as being the Highest Priority, as if we were a Day Care Center, for Hippies, but to stick with the Central Vision, which is to go far Beyond Society, and all the way to Universal Integration, which is not a Societal Construct, which works only for its own collective self interests, after all, even though that is what is often expected, and so we may have to disrupt what is expected to a certain extent.

But that kind of disruption, may be what it takes, to be able to take us Beyond Humanity, and so to connect up, with the Central Core Heart of the Vision First, which could be expressed as being in the service of reaching towards Universal Integration, as the Central Focus, and as the Highest Priority.

And then each person will be expected to be working towards that, within their own interpretation, of course, and in their own way, and using their own skills and resources, and within the limits of their own partial understandings, as well as in response to the Community criticism as a whole, which will be giving feedback to the membership as well as the leadership, all the time, through the process of Mutual Self Criticism.

This is a Whole Entirely New Vision of moving towards Universal Integration, which will then be what must come first, as our Highest Priority.

We are to be the first. And then all these other newly forming communities may all want to connect up, in the same way, as well as those existing communities, who will link up with us, and we do invite them all to join in with us, and so maybe you can help us with that, to to help us to make that connection permanent, which might easily become possible, once they have adopted this new perspective, and made it their own, as it is a useful construct that we intend to share with the world.

And we do offer this whole big thing, as being the Cure, for Society, and the Cure, for Humanity, which is for an alliance of the willing, to align ourselves with the ultimate Truth, which is to use long term thinking, and to disengage from those solutions, which are coming from extremely short term thinking, in view of the size and the scope of the natural world, which must be allowed to have the last word on everything, or at least that is the perspective that we intend to represent here, without asking permission.

Our Elected Decision Makers have not been doing the job. That is why we need to Disengage.

And so we do need to see the active involvement, and the full support, of some of the more courageous people, who are willing to let the Universe Decide, because that is what comes first, before the needs of the people, and all the Native Peoples have understood this principle, which we call getting down, with the Natural Order of Priorities.

I want to hear from you, maybe even something more in depth, about what you might think you can do, in a Positive Sense, to support this Entirely New Initiative, to Save the Earth, or what kind of a role you might want to play.

But please try to understand that this is just the beginning of a Whole New Initiative, and it is not just all about talking with each other, as equals, looking for same, based on the Social Contracts of Polite Society, so it has to be about you being able to add something, to what has been said, in a manner which is effective.
 
Our time here has to be respected, so we really do not want to hear, or receive any dumpings, from the rank and file Defenders, of the Old Guard. And there will be some who will oppose this work.

The understanding is that we may pass your writings on, in some way, like into our group, along with our well thought out responses, because that is the nature of our work at this time, to promote these ideas, using the excess creative energy of the willing.

No Personal Attacks Please.

Well intentioned Constructive Criticism is always welcomed, of course, as long as you do have some leg to stand on, but that means you have to first become deeply invested, so you really do have something to lose, by destroying things, which others have built. - T
