There must be equal opportunities to share/build in your own talented/special way. To achieve this we first must have free education, healthcare and food for all. No one should be born just to work in an undesirable job so they can afford to eat with a roof over their head. These simple necessities are supposed to be God's giving right and it shouldn't be up to any human to make rules or set standards for others. In the least...such things should be a clear indisputable collective agreement. Can you imagine how many people in this world are working in jobs they don’t like? Life is not supposed to be this way. The current systems fail miserably…look at the results. who gains and who loses?

Maybe every one’s names, skills and desires should be placed into a database. If there is a particular job that needs to be done and your skill sets compliments that position…you have an option to contribute or pass on it. Living life is simple…it’s the people making it difficult.

Peace

I love this. I saw someone say somewhere... it should not be about "can we afford it?", but rather "Do we have the resources?" (skill, material, etc) - Not "how much will the school cost to build?", but "where can we get the wood?", "Who knows how to make a roof?", "do we have a carpenter?", "can we find one?", "do we have any books on carpentry??"

this is wonderful... "No money and contribution rather than work"

If our consciousness is really changing, then maybe we can solve these problems that we have struggled with in the past.

If a community looks after itselft (and also other communities - because we get to a point where we realise the benefit of the self comes through the benefit of all) then things like money and effort will not need to be watched closely.

I fix my neighbours roof because it needs fixing. I tend the garden because I want us all to have nice food to eat.

These systems have fallen down in the past because only some are paying attention, and others, seeing their own separateness lean and rely on others, looking to find some advantage for themselves.

Just maybe, we can look anew at this.

Hello everyone~

I love Illuminate's idea...

many years ago now, I read "The Fifth Sacred Thing" and I remember I really liked the Northern California's community organization. I've been meaning to re-read it for a few months now, specifically to review how it was, again, that they lived. It seems a really good time to start thinking ahead, with regards to a totally different way of approaching life. Great idea for a thread!
Has anyone else read this book (mentioned above)?

What do people think of the Venus Project? I'm not talking about Zeitgeist as much as the ideas for structuring living environments that the Venus Project addresses. My initial reaction was that I liked what I saw. I haven't done a ton of research into it though.

Thanks for the book tip Berob.

Zeitgeist - the venus project... that's where I heard the quote isn't it? It's about the resources, not the cost. Wonderful idea I thought.

As a separate question to moderators, it seems difficult to me to find information at Avalon. When people post names of books and links to informational videos, is there any way of extracting and classifying these?

It would be good to be able to find a place with all the 'good books on communities' or 'all videos on meditation'. I guess this is what the search function is for, but is there ever a case for extracting these from individual threads and placing them in a repository of some sort? Has that already happened? I guess it would be time consuming, but most of the great stuff at Avalon, I come across in a random fashion depending on who's posting and what I'm reading on any given day...Any guidance on this would be gratefully received

Thanks for all your energy and input. Whatever your thoughts, whatever your dreams, make them happen here! Why not ?!

For example, one other thing I'd like in our community is a free-ish energy source of some kind. It would be good to have something that didn't just charge batteries (sun, wind). What about Geothermal energy? Anyone know anything about that? How about a nice windmill?

Sun is good for warming tanks of water too... you see those on the rooves in Greece. So ok, my community might need to be somewhere a little bit sunnier than England...

Ok.. anyone got some lego... let's get it out and build something fun ! There you go, I've just finished the stables...

Love yas...
