It would be absolutly amazing for that to happen.

my plan (it's always a good idea to write this type of stuff out)

i to go into the US airforce as fire protection and not spend a cent during the 4 or 5 years i enlist. if i put my money in the right places (high interest savings accounts and CD's) i should have anywhere between 60-100k when i get out. (conservative estimate)

while in the force i'll be getting real fit. physically, spiritually, and mentally. i'll bulk up, continue my spiritual practices, and read up on as much integral medicine and integral therapy as possible

when i get out i should be crazy healthy and centered with career experience and a fat bank roll. i meet up with people i have contacted over the net and either join an existing project or begin a new one (all depends on the cash really.)
one of the most important parts in creating the commune is to form a community with similar spiritual beliefs. if you can do that, you can zone the area as a place of worship. doing so makes the land exempt from paying property tax. in theory

i see firefighting as being one of the few respectable careers today AND many firefighters actually only work half the week, so if my military experience helps me into that career i'd be ecstatic. with my education in therapy and alternative medicine i could act as a counselor for the community on my days off/ retirement

anybody ever hear of superadobe? it's a modern version of earthen architecture. using long sandbags filled with a specific mixture of sand and clay, i think some lime, you can make very sturdy infrastructure. cheap and eco-friendly, they can withstand extreme weather, and if designed correctly, (check out the shapes below) they conserve energy extremely well

imagine if communities like this were made and future generations could be raised in a stable environment that would nourish inner growth, rather than worshiping petty achievements that feed a vicious cycle

i don't want to seem naive, but this could be an age of great transition. we just have to get the ball rolling

But there is still some level of authority right?

yeah, i guess so. you got parents, older brothers and sisters, there are probly bullies of some sort. it seems authority can always be found if one is looking for it

SO easily said..

BUt how can I taste this FREEDOM.. how can i get a glimmer.. how can I experiecne FREEDOM...

ONE must surrender..

HOw do I surrender?

IF you can't just sit down and STOP reacting as of RIGHT NOW!

Then you should start a practice.. a practice.. teaches one to MOVE there awarenss away from the mind...

IT IS your thoughts (KARMA) that prevent you from realizing your freedom...

SO either.. sack it up and stop reacting RIGHT NOW...

or start a practice...
