Community - A support for Personal Transformation

Jan  2006

I have some thoughts about community.

If our intention is to become more free, to expand our awareness, to learn more about loving, to explore our greater potential, then there is no better way than by living in close proximity with others with the similar interests.

You may find someone that will say all you have to do is meditate. Meditation is great to watch and learn about our thoughts and our belief process. It is also a wonderful tool to slow down with, and deepen with in ourselves. Also great to assist being more in the moment. Gaining these awarenesses is wonderful, and if you would like to experiment with letting go of old beliefs, patterns etc. Living with others can be the best tool to support change.

No matter how good our intentions, it is very easy to hide things like beliefs and behaviours, when we are on our own.

Here are some things you might want to watch for. When we gather in community our intention is to improve ourselves. This is the motivation if you like. Watch your self closely to see if there is any part that says "what am I going to get out of this". This is a bit tricky but this is the beginning of the breakdown of Community. There is a lot I could say about this but for now just accept this as so. If you want to get the most benefit out of an experiment of Community go in with the intent of supporting the others growth [ in a loving way], and stay open to what others have to say about you. Watch and see if what you are doing is loving or fear based. If you find yourself wanting to defend , this is fear. If you find you have energy with something take this as a gem to learn from.

Our greatest learning will come from the things we resist and are attracted to. Take this experiment as a journey and take whatever comes our way with an openness and acceptance. We will be getting what we most need. If we embrace this journey it is possible to find Peace and Loving beyond anything we have imagined.

Find where people are gathering and go. As soon as you arrive the process will begin. The more you share, the greater the experience.

If you can't find a gathering, create one.

I should inform you there can be side affects. For example, as you let go of your defenses you may become more available and loving. This will result in much more rewarding relationships. This will lead to more happiness, and prosperity. etc........ This may be the most difficult part to accept.... Breathe
