The idea of attempting a utopian community actually appeals to me. Even if we were at each other's throats after a month, at least the level of discussion would be high!

We would use alternative energy. We would have a terrific library and free yoga classes. I bet some of our members are excellent cooks. Some of our members are skilled healers.

Heck, if we confine ourselves to communicating via computer, it might actually work! :--)

It does look nice, said harsh winters and could be cut off for days... sounds awesome!

We have to include those somehow. Now where can I find a pair of goggles ...

Terrific link, Dan! Thank you.

I could imagine a world where more and more people start doing this sort of thing.

I agree -- it could be a 'way of the future', living in communities rather than having governments (to govern your mind).

Thank you Studeo for your post. There is a growing desire amongst people to become self sufficient and Tristar seems to be committed to the need. Maybe there are more people/corporations delving into this area but are careful about posting on the web for fear of the bigger players involved. Because our conciousness is evolving, those who are ready for this type of community, will be ready to act when the opportunity presents itself. Everything happens for a reason. Just like you (generalizing everyone) are here at this forum. With the introduction of 'Charles' and learning about the things you didn't know that you didn't know, the awareness of the bigger picture - the picture is taking a shape and the details are beginning to come into focus. As I see it, self sustaining communities are one solution, but also too, as the awareness of others grow, other solutions will present itself. As 'Charles' has stated, we will be given a 'stick' from his 'master'; 'Charles' instructed to use it. It will be up to the individual to discern for themselves what path will be right for them and what that 'stick' is.
While going on with my daily life, I constantly ask questions. Sometimes I receive my answers right away, other times the question remains unanswered for awhile; but the discernment of knowing the answer and knowing what is not is the hard part because sometimes it is not what 'I' want it to be. Concerning having a life in a bunker underground (projecttristar), a community of like minded people, does this mean that people are taking the 'every man for himself' attitude? Would this be right? Only asking that question of ourselves will we find the right answer. If we keep to the universal law of love one another then the answer, for me, would be that my actions for the future should benefit the many, the many of those who will listen.
If people want land to 'hide out' on, there are many places to go to that are for sale. The deeper question will come - am I ready to take on that task of sustainable living when I am provided for so easily.

I agree, cannot possibly live without coffee!!!

[witchy1]

Can I run the Pub?????????

[panopticon]

G'day Witchy1,

To extend the nightmare...
No alcohol allowed on the tristar site either!
Talk about a dry camp.
No kiwi's that I know would ever live under such depraved conditions!
There again if you're redesigning why not take the best of our civilisensation with you!
Nice drop of Jameson's on mountain ice sounds reasonable.

LOL, maybe we could make moonshine for medicinal purposes (and sell it to our neighbours for income)

[Dennis Jonathan]

How my soul longs for something like this!

I would love to plan a self sustainable community off the grid.

[azure]

Yes sounds like a slice of heaven. Its not fair that most of us are forced to live in concentrated areas with little or no nature left to appreciate unless you go for a walk. Worse enough everything has a price tag placed upon it. I long for a simplistic life in the mountains and would appreciate living in a grass hut among the tribal folks, learning the ways that many of us have forgotten.

Here is the Alpine Fault Line.



I don't think going up to the mountains is the best idea.
