Two years ago, on the PA1 forum, someone started a creative and inspiring thread where members could post their hopes and visions for their ideal world, a world we hoped to create. I would love to give this topic a second life, as it was so uplifting to read and fun to contribute to!
Put on your thinking caps, open your hearts, and feel free to add your visions here. The more specific, the better! :typing:
In my ideal world? If anything was possible? Off the top of my head...
* Large....HUGE...community gardens - vegetables, fruit, herbs, and flowers - run year 'round by a mix of employees and volunteers...housed in large greenhouses in the winter, where the climate is colder...and the produce is made available to the communities in which it's grown...students in school and university can get credit for learning about growing food and/or for volunteering in the gardens.
* With the widespread use of FREE ENERGY (please, God, hurry up!), people no longer have to do jobs that are not fulfilling in order to "earn a living", to pay the bills. The new reality will be that the majority of people do what gives them joy, what pleases them, what contributes to the community. Money is no longer the primary drive to work, or the major factor in career choice. Bartering/exchanging services and goods plays a much bigger role in the economy. People are generous and fair.
* Because obtaining money (see above) is no longer such a huge necessity, more people are able to focus on creating a home, nurturing children (their own and/or others), and caring for the elderly the way they deserve to be cared for. (It might sound cheesy, but I know if I wasn't required to go to work every day, if bills and earning money wasn't such an issue, I would love to be at home, puttering, cooking wholesome food, creating a nice environment in which to live, spending more time connecting with my neighbors, and caring for animals).
* I would LOVE to see a QUIET, non-polluting, speedy mono-rail transportation system within communities and connecting major communities.
* Better yet...one of the Project Camelot interviewees (as well as some others) have described certain craft that are silent and that travel based on the intention you hold in your mind. I think it would be an amazing thing if that became the norm...if people could travel 5 or 500 or 5000kms in these kinds of crafts, if they were accessible to all. Just think...no pollution...speedy travel...no more noise from vehicles...and as someone who does not drive, I would LOVE to be able to get from place to place simply by holding the intention in my mind! *L*
* Holo-deck community centres (a la Star Trek) are available to everyone for educational and recreational purposes. The learning possibilities would be endless with this kind of resource, it's exciting to think about. :roll:
