Why Create Concious Community Structures?
Here is a crude copy of what such an organization Might look like, a year into its life:
It's clearly part of the next evolutionary step. Period. Full Stop.
Therefore our children must be schooled in the creation, nurturance and development of structures, memes and lifestyles that are fractals of the entire sweep of changes that will overtake our existing structures, institutions and mindset. The only way to effectively do that is to DO IT. Direct action is required.
How to design the structures that will facilitate those changes is the secret that I'd like to unravel over the course of the next year.
One of the impediments in my life has been the inertia of trying to slog through Krishnamurti, Susuki, Gurdjieff, Ouspensky, Osho, Idries Shah, Omar Ali Shah, E.J Gold and all of the related authors, commentaries, etc., while being married and raising 3 boys, and still trying to understand and implement the theories, philosophies, and hints that festoon the esoteric path. I'm willing to admit that it's been slow going at times.
Accelerated evolution requires group structures. I've come to believe that in my soul. Not just any kind of group will suffice but just about any kind of group can serve as the conduit to higher learning. The kind of higher learning that creates conscious communities.
To quote from E. J. Gold:
"In terms of working alone or in a group situation, it depends on how fast we want to work. If we want to work individually and spend say thirty years achieving enough of a waking state that we can begin work, then by all means we should work by ourselves. But if we prefer to work a lot faster and achieve in two weeks what normally would take five or six years to accomplish then we might decide that we prefer to work in a group."
E. J. Gold 'The Human Biological Machine as a Transformational Apparatus'
Of course, E. J Gold is talking about specialised esoteric groups; a similar dynamic applies to almost any group. There is a special kind of energy which is created in group situations. I myself have felt it at times in a very direct and unmistakeable way.
The secret lies in making the design of the organization and its inevitable spin-offs to be viral in nature. Maybe a better term would be fractals, because the design of the original is what is copied, over and over again, in response to different pressures, situations and necessities.
Keep in mind that the organization itself is designed to be organic, constantly undergoing change and revitalization, splitting apart to form separate, but connected groups.
If you take the time to read the following post on Stupidity, you will begin to understand the urgency of the situation.
