Community Building

The community builds around you as the central piece; whether it works or not. It is your opinion that matters most; if you don't think it can work, it won't. Trust in people requires your leadership capabilities, to be able to do what you need to do when you need to do it.

You can depend on me, if you treat me well. I believe in you. I am not your ragamuffin doll to abuse and obstruct. I respond to cuddles and cat purr's. You cannot buy my loyalty, but you can lose it.

You and I will always have roles in the community, because we are capable of stepping into any role that we find necessary. You have your skills, i have my skills and one of my skills is to listen and observe. I try not to tell, but i am a scribe and convey the messages of what we learn to people who wish to learn with us.

Consideration takes time. At the moment, the concept of time is on hold, in the flux box - this might be considered the first rescue mission. Part of the problem is that we wish to measure time in linear units and time doesn't flow that way. Our calendar fits an arbitrary cycle of rotation of the earth about the sun - but why does that period have to be a constant? Why does there have to be a one size fits all version of time?

Because time forms a control lattice. If you control another person's time, you own them. Yes, you give them money to allow them to get things in exchange for spending their time doing your bidding, but is that any weigh to run a community. Good community requires four pleigh - time spent thinking about how to make things work in four key areas.

Food, water, entertainment and love. We travel to get fulfillment from other places, but a community can be self-contained with these bases covered. Only when the area to be covered is greater than the scope of the individuals that make up the community, should partnerships with larger entities outside the community be considered.

In other words - if we have to rely on ourselves in a local resource distribution network, we must be able to provide our own forms of nutritious food, clean water, and healthful edjutainment in a love-based environment.

I have had two different efforts approach that can use the Mondragon model from distinctly different directions, and at different levels of scale. You must work on one, before you work on two. Group theory holds true for very small numbers - four is an unworkable size group for getting things done - it is two squared and falls into a different dimension of number.

The rumble is getting louder. The event horizon requires that those in the gulch return to the gulch for a 'vacation' while the action outside crescendos. I have plans for now - you are the one who must decide on how much you are bought into the ideas that we can hatch.

Now is the time to be self-entertaining, the spirals travel in both directions, but when the edges are approachable, then time takes on a different rate of speed and the wiggle room becomes more important. Rate contains time and cannot be used in the definition of what time is.

Chaos maximizes wiggle room, whereas order requires mathematics to hold its numbers. Nature is a yin yang relationship in many different arenas - be comfortable in your relationship with one, and one, before moving on to two. You have all the time in the world, and you will get here by being one with community.
