Homings...extending community housing

[Delight]

This was suggested by Snowflower's thread here...An Invitation for Survivers

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...-for-Survivors

In 2006, I met a man from Australia. He was certain that the US was just about collapse. In sincerity he offered me his home because he likes me and felt sorry for me having to endure what he was certain was about to happen. I was unsure for a moment wondering about his obvious certainty. What this was all about?

It occurred to me that it was about what I believe and where my intentions lie. It was the first time that I consciously refused to agree and inserted my own intentions. I was in no need and could feel strongly peaceful.

As we continued our conversation, I realized that I would never go to Australia or anywhere for anything but love. If he was offering and I believed we had it between us to start a life together because it would be really wonderful and creative, that would be a good move. Otherwise, moving would be pointless.

In Snowflower's offer, there is a vibration of danger anticipated. Colorado is not only its natural beauty, the climate, the people and the love there. In this invitation, survival is invoked.

When I was talking to my Ozzie friend, I was very clear that I am intending to operate in a very different way than he does. I do not have any use for the memes proclaiming danger and threat and need to survive.

Instead, I would like to invoke community, thriving, exploration, freedom, convenience, leisure, groundedness, beauty, function, hospitality, recreation and nourishment.

It would be wonderul to share a community. I also have a small piece of land and it is in a beautiful location. There are buildings here but everything has malingered in the last few years because I lost my partner. This place has a great vibe. it is near a beautiful lake and I would love to share my home.

The right people won't just suddenly appear. In the case of my house, there are various pluses and minuses about it. However, I am certain that with the right people, we could all be better off. Am I the right person for my dreams?

So I am wondering about what kind of people have a wonderfulcommunity? Am I in shape to create the flexible strong community I imagine. It is simply based on mutual aid and 100% prosperity of all concerned.

My own preference is that I be able to come and go from my home. This is awkward due to the animals and I would love to have even more animals. I am looking at community as my favorite step forward because it could be more freeing to move around with shared responsibilities.

It came to me that a cooperative between people with houses and land and people with skills and no land would be flexible. There could be a cooperative ownership. Practically the format of the "cooperative" where people buy in to the whole and "profits" are shared seems like a legal umbrella. It is an equitable way of doing many things, why not shared real estate and community ventures?

There needs to be very good understanding crafted between the members. It is really important to be clear on expectations, commitments and it would not happen without effort. But at its basic, distributed houses and a Homing looks good.

I see it as my home added to others homes. The cooperative locations all together make a homing. People with no lands but skills can cooperate by adding their energies where needed? Some might stay in one location. Others might travel. People could travel between homes based on joint ventures depending on who is involved and what purposes could develop.

It is part of what I see as "Versities". These are like "life school" where people of all ages see themselves as "teachers and learners". The people see themselves as a bit nomadic, traveling and yet at home most places because there could be a Homing stream that has a house in every hamlet in my intention.

The focus on survival feels to carry fear and lack underlying intentions. No Homings need fear and lack to thrive. They can innovate and ALSO, as long as the "grid" is up, the bills easily paid and the convenience is appreciated, the "off grid" concept might not need a focus and every location would have a different feel and requirements and gifts. Being home in any place would be an evolutionary move in action.

My vision of my future is a graceful morph that forgot suffering. I love knowing that all the information we could possibly need to get started on sensible small easily attained changes is at the fingertips. This life right now feels good. It can become even better feeling and free. The suburban house can have a food forest. Sprouts grow on the windowsill. We can gather various places and are never stuck.

At this moment we have amazing resources. The internet is major. We can easily communicate by Skype. We can drive all over. The gas will never run out and there is even more useful technology at hand.

So far there is mail order of all kinds of useful products delivered anywhere. Right now we can choose to cooperate in new ways.

I really like the Homing vision of global "family" living in various places and yet part of a cooperation.We can learn so much and have so much fun when we do things with friends. Expectations about survival cannot get me out of bed in the morning.

Love from home, Maggie

What a "Delightful" idea! Giggle ... Sorry ... Couldn't help myself!

Really, tho ... I am a gypsy spirit at heart I think ... This is an attractive option.
I will definitely consider the concept of 'Homings'.

Thanks!

When I was young, we moved around but it was always a big rip to leave places. Then wehn I met my partner, we moved to the country and I have lived here since 1986.

The people who grow up in a small town see things closer up. One nurse I worked with used to talk about seeing people in cars and noticing who was driving. I never notice even what cars drive by. Then people move here from other places but have houses in Florida or other places or come for a vacation and are not part of the community.

I used to imagiine I'd like living in a commune but visited on in the 70's called The Farm. Everyone was too communal for me. They even had become telepathic or something because people just didn't have intellectual conversations.

My favorite places have been where I felt like an adventurer but connected and at home like when I might visit NYC and explore but had a friend's apartment as home base. Just being a tourist somewhere is shallow. But staying in one place is just that.....

Maybe some of us are just wanderers who have not ever settled down even after years of living in a certain place?

That all sounds very lovely. Are you asking something specifically?

I am not sure what you mean? Am I asking the Universe that this kind of cooperative be established? Yes. I have a house and the idea of what I could and could not offer and what my ideals are now. So, I wonder if extended community as such sounds reasonable or valuable. Is that what you mean?

[Snowflower]

It does sound reasonable and valuable. In fact, so much so that when I started trying to build a community ten years ago, I assumed I would have to turn people away because there would be too many. That did not happen. It was six years before one person took me up on my offer and another 1.5 years before one couple became permanent. I think the biggest lesson I have learned is to be detached from outcome. It happens or it doesn't.

You are also correct about the element of danger perceived. Not only is danger perceived, but there is danger in fact. It is not possible to be living in this country, be aware, and not perceive danger. But that does not mean that we need to live our lives in constant fear mode. I live in the midst of beauty. It surrounds me daily. I see it. I look for it. The beauty feeds my soul and is part of my daily nourishment.

Want to know what I would like more than just about anything else? It would be that a woman somewhere between 50 and 75 responds to my call for community and would like to live here, and is a craftswoman who thinks an afternoon spent together in a living room or around a fire, making some kind of useful craft, would be a superb way to spend the day. Sure, we'd be working to create self sufficiency, but wouldn't that be a fun way to do it? That vision of delight has nothing to do with danger. It's just what my heart desires. But, you're right. I am fully aware of the danger inherent in being alive today and believe it is appropriate.

I would love to share that afternoon with you! here I am in such a beautiful place with less "preparedness" but with the same kind of vision.

Here's a 'what IF"
It just MUST deal with intention before anyone ever showed up?
For example, I am certain that my most predominant vibe creates my experience.
What if the highest form of play was recognized. We do NOT know what the future will bring because it has not happened yet.
In this I believe that prophecy is only a reading of the moment's predominant vibration as read by a sensitive...and filtered with mental imagery. YES, there has been much discordant energy. But it is how I FEEL about it and what I mean to do about it that either constricts us or expands us through our volition.
That is why I choose your vision here and add it to my own!

Your acceptance of a belief does not mean you will HAVE to experience it.
Homings have to do with Faith that the world is a benevolent support for expansion. It believes that by distribution and by relationship, all our needs ay be met. GAIA is the first relationship...trust in her and our cooperation.

I believethis with all my heart. Love, Maggie

Intention
Someone like you and someone like I have a shared homing. Colorado is great for some things and North Georgia for others.
Some other people who are capable and interested to share and may do something that supports Homings also join.

Snowflower, Your offer sounds appealing, I am just selling my home in Toronto, Canada, I am 56. I am sure there are many craftwoman out there. I would take you up but I think I will end up in Ecuador.

[Snowflower]

Well, if Equador doesn't manifest, give me a call. Good luck either way.
