This sounds incredible and is so very close to what I believe and care about -- I almost want to ask, Where have you been all my life? Thank you for the beautifully thought out and well written community agreement -- I signed on with gusto!
If we must stay, we must build intentional community because things will get soup kitchens bad for the masses of white people before they realize they are no longer in any semblance of a democracy. Sadly, Hungry bellies are the only language the ignorant and uneducated speak. I keep seeing those black and white depression era iconic photos. They really have to hit rock bottom of kids starving before they realize it wasn’t immigrants or Black people doing them dirty.
As usual, there are few folks around me who are willing to build relationships outside their blood kin groups. I've been part of these kinds of efforts over the whole course of my life. Would love to find others nearby who see the writing on the wall now...before the whole thing collapses.
So much care and hope has been poured into this information. I feel that. Thank you.
For those of us walking this chapter of our lives more alone, and perhaps feeling left out, don’t despair. Alone, I can access the “All One” that must be seen for true solutions to abound, that center EACH PERSON, no matter their former actions, so life on this planet and beyond can thrive.
We are each a hero on a hero's journey. Perhaps individually we don't realize this yet. Somehow the work ALSO involves truly seeing ourselves and each other as each being the center of an invisible world. Let’s look too to the energies that make us, and the whole of possibilities we are poured from. For this, I personally have been deeply contemplating Astrology and Human Design. This helps me see what the potential energies look like; individually and collectively and perhaps cosmically, including where friction can reside—where dehumanization happens.
It is difficult yet not impossible to see the whole, if we zoom out far enough. We have each been handed a baton for some race whose starting line was thousands of years ago. All of us have been compromised. All of us have been sacrificed to some unknown deity or purpose. It’s OK to realize in some ways we each have been the monster at the end of the book. Got money “invested”? We too are PARTICIPATING in what we hate.
So now, in addition to helping who I can, I must STOP. I must rest and cry and mourn and BE. I have to come to know what my baseline energy feels like ALONE so I can know my YES and my NO when impacted by combinations of the collective. We each must KNOW this.
The people seemingly in "power" are NOT if we learn how to truly center ourselves. We must not keep giving our power away to those willing to take it in order to power over everything and show they can. It’s a king of the hill game, where the hill grows horrifically higher and higher away from the earth and the grounded truth of LIFE. A lot of people are STUCK; life and death MOB types of stuck, I think…
When YOU regain your true universe-given power, so do I. Once we all do, the energies shift. What was once lauded—the competition, the secrecy, the greed—it finds a proper venue where the energetic spirit behind those actions has a space to PLAY; one that won’t force everyone else into the boxing ring.
Perhaps this ramped up fear serves to make us see ourselves more clearly and as we get better at zooming out to see the whole of the world and the universe beyond, we get a clear sense of the world we must help make and what we each will and must refuse to take. We need a world that meets all life's needs. If anyone is in trouble, then we all are. This includes the “fascists” among us.
We had vast difficulties at the beginning (see IChing Gate #3) of our human existence, certainly, as viewed through Chaos Theory and the butterfly effect, for things to have gotten so far out of control. And within the chaos comes a movement towards order, and FUN. May we each create something magical from this moment and each moment to follow.
The JOB is enjoyment. The work is to PLAY. Part of playing is to FEEL. We are each our own king, never again bending and breaking to kiss another's ring. We are each made to be a PEACE of the whole. Yes, a beautiful whirled WORLD peace. This is HOW a new world clicks together. This I do KNOW🤩

Let’s build it together 🧡
Same! I've been trying to gather info and articulate this to a group here. This is wonderful and will really help.
Let's go!
Is there anyone who is involved with The People's Community who happens to be in the southwest or New Mexico?
As a 28yr old not-yet-fully-licensed-therapist, this post is going to help me emotionally feed my clients for the next month. Thank you.
You got me interested enough to request membership in the TPC. 💪
Let’s build it together!
This is beautiful.
