That would be a clear understanding from the start and it would eliminate the non serious member trying to take advantage of the association. Yes, it is a delicate matter in which the habits of previous life routines would have to be treated in a delicate way making sure the whole awareness of a "close community" would be clear. A back to basics daily life is not for everyone who have been so used to a luxurious roof over their heads. Many sections of the whole subject has a few misleading or not well understood realities. But keeping all "wheels on the ground" is the important part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I guess they can exist of various kinds, or various guises), as in "intentional communities" as my favorite err possible route to sanity, I trust maybe worded as "co-operative" sometimes too, (am I right or no?) perhaps by having synonymous comparison to "intentional communities" as I guess underpinning any ethical deals made from iiiideals or self sufficient measures for a movement making a move toward freedom or semi independancy ...ie, only daring to be co-dependent within its own remit or multi group mutual aid. (such as when basic allegiances OR responsibilities are established by merits of group consensus aims AND whereby dwellings are within sensible geographic reach able to offer helping out other groups of like mind) so co-dependent maaaaybe ONLY WITHIN TRUSTED GROUP(S) OR COLLECTIVE(S) which naturally would evolve over time a sense of trust and inter community collaboration - spear heading OVERALL INDEPENDENCY WHERE PRACTICABLE & rightly so if desirable and doable in respect of that group effort if people that share the same collective inter-related interests do so in respect of each other individually also, with life affirmating principles coming first but which in turn just as importantly are based on a shared broader vision to make people question their "corp seduced slave life choices" and instead opt for intentional communities dotted about everywhere, all with prerty much similar values that cannot be ignored, such as in the rise of veganism. Well, thats all good I suppose, HOPE SO as what else is there short of living life completely wild, Where CLARITY is concerned then... yes... THAT, in my above post, was meaning to state by juxtapose my use of word "co-opt", by which th3 negative it was quite different by meaning not good to buy into or to acquiessingly take share of by supporting something bad inadvertently or by fool-hardiness... (I hate to say "but" here.... buuuut which at least as temporary thing some of us may not always be given the choice 100% to abandon all depending on strength of our " will & drive" (funny - almost made typo and almost wrote "drivel" to my own amusement) or self/group innovation or circumstances or bredth of closely alligned social infastructure, yet I for one of course I am like anybody serious trying to let go of unhelpful entities in the long run starting in some ways NOW) very good, I did actually study the Essenes some years ago and what you and @Macnamara @Simple Actions and others are talking about is what these people did. though they did interact with others not of there clan, it was very minimally . and they did where possible keep themselves to themselves, living mostly in the wilderness or by rivers lakes etc. . the man Jesus was supposed to be an Essene as well as John the Baptist. then more recent examples the monks of Tibet, what do they all have in common?

Thank you very much! Its always nice to hear words that are sadly vanishing nowadays.. But yes this is a very tough subject in which sadly enough should not be sad nor difficult because its about all want We once upon a time were, lived and experienced....the free living.....the great freedom to live, the great healthy food we took for granted that now is considered Luxury food! All that nowadays is being ridiculed and dismissed at all costs... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol......well....in my opinion as long as its relevant to the ONE thing we All are fighting for, its all good. Inspirational, constructive and infectious positivity towards solutions! That is what i stand for the most. I gave up on duelling on subjects that becomes a never ending spiral especially about the daily "bad news" that does not help at all..... I am focussed on the solutions because the time spent on sharing the constant daily bad news which for some is handy to know (i get that) but does steal the precious limited time to focus on solutions. "Focus, time, limited".....all these are crucial because of the above mentioned.....We all are already aware the speed in which "The Big Wigs" are trying to silence and stop people like us and "kill some time" by delaying our train of thought.

Especially when they already planned to shutdown the internet as we use to know it. It is ok to express our emotions on here at times but I noticed fewer planning on our part than criticism of the system. As someone said: Wake up Freddy, the day is over.

TetraG Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) On 7/9/2021 at 5:39 PM, Starchild said: @Macnamara Like I said, I already do this as much as I can. You're very condescending and sound a bit in denial. To repeat myself, you will not escape it unless you go and live off the grid, but I doubt you'll do that because you won't have internet access to post threads like the one above. And how will you pay for things that need delivering. Or if you need to collect things, you'll need a registered vehicle. As much as you point the finger at 'people like me' for having one or two smart devices, you'll be as culpable when you have no option but to use card payments, make phone calls, or even use your own vehicle. Well, Macnamara has answered already adequately, yet I don't believe he was soley focusing just on you, although yes he was straight talking though as always he is, which I respect as he tells it like it is. However he is not or course I would say just targeting you personally. More so I would say targeting your mindset and challenging what you feed into. ie, Accepting AI this and that, in every orifice of our being is not going to help. WHY PEOPLE GET STUCK IN ENTRAPMENT BY THE SYSTEM IS (and this is just the core example) >> Life is complex becuase of the web of lies and the way that the system deliberately makes life difficult. However solutions of the more simple narrative, although hard can give us fortitude in doing whats right... So when accepted to live a more simple life it CAN therefore offer us quite simple means once we accept gradually letting go of own individual smartass devices. Don't get me wrong, much to my own distaste I fricken own one right now, (gifted me, not that this makes it much better BUT is my only one I've ever had, forgoing a desktop or so and so) but is not a new one, so at least standing my own ground I don't go looking to get more of it or update to 5G in time for that.. As I'm having NOTHING to do with 5G. Edited whilst at the same time Macnamara replied.

Macnamara Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) 15 minutes ago, TetraG said: Well, Macnamara has answered already, and he was not purposefully focusing just on you, or equally the average person. I didn't pull my punches because i wanted my post to be a splash of cold water in the face Some people are still not seeing the smart-grid that is being constructed around them and which they are willingly participating in. It's only going to grow from here if people don't draw the line in the sand immediately I drew my line in the sand a long time ago and did not go down the smart phone route. I have no 'apps', i have no facebook, i have no twitter, I have no instgram, i am not signed into youtube, i do not use google emails or search engine, i do not bank with the banks that had to be bailed out in 2008, i buy much of my food locally and organic, i'm growing some of my own food, i have no TV let-alone a smart tv, i have no smart meter, i will not take any jabs from the NHS, i boycott the big corporations as far as a i can (although i am always looking to make changes that will take more and more market share off them), i do not pay a TV licence, i do not buy newspapers from the mainstream media, i do not go to cinemas that give money to hollyweird.....i could go on and on and on about many changes from the big to the small that i have made and am making On my own these steps will make little-to-no difference in the grand scheme. They only start to make a difference when MILLIONS of people start taking responsibility for the role that they and their money play in shaping our society and THAT is what needs to happen and if people who fancy themself 'awake' can't even make these kind of changes then we have NO CHANCE because if we can't do it then who will?
