The Core Spirit
Eden is an organic community and not a static thing that can be pegged down to just being a few words on paper or just a list of
agreements. Those things may well be a part of the picture. But that does not
constitute the full depth of the reality.
We must put the vision first. The rest must find its own way. Learning from
nature. Eden is not just a fine and wonderful part of nature but it is also a
marvelous new extension of nature that goes way beyond just being about more
reproductions out of the past.
We are not just a carbon copy of any of these other communities
and there is nothing else out there like this that any of us even know of so
don't even think you can just go somewhere else when the end times are upon
us as that will be way too late. We may even want to reproduce a few other communities that are
either directly related to Eden and in alignment with the Eden Vision or
just friendly communities that are very similar in actual substance having
to do more with the core spirit.
The Accomodations
Eden is not just about me or you and it's not just about me and
you.
It is about Eden.
People do need to be able to bring some of their own stuff into Eden and we will
be able to accommodate much once we have reached a certain point. But Eden works by its own natural set of rules that have not yet been written
due to time constraints. But that may be for good reason.
Eden is a simple plan that works very quietly and it just keeps on growing like a Tree that fits in with the forest quite
well. It is real and yet every word is true and so of course we can only expect the same
from you. True Faithfulness and Courage alone will suffice.
Self Replicating
We do have to know how to work within the
larger plan for all life on Earth just like the Motherhood. But the plan does go
way beyond just being about the plan to suit every ones personal needs and
we are not going to be able to match every ones particular opinions word for
word.
We cannot just hand out the honor of Motherhood for instance to any and all who would
imagine themselves to be equal to the task until they have completed the job
and done it well because like so many things in Eden the honor of Motherhood
has to be earned. Everything has roots.
The people will have to become self reorganized first in a cooperative manner into an entirely
different configuration that works by the grace and dignity that so many of us
have lost all connection to as we have been cut off from our deepest
roots.
And so now in keeping with the steep learning curves of Eden you must all
now begin to demonstrate some other
very real and equally quirky and even useful things to amaze and astound the
world and to show some very good and positive
attributes and maybe even some good breeding habits. And if you don't mind my fairly direct sense of humor do join our
rapidly expanding email group in a very real way and not just as an empty
placeholder believer.
Before the End Times are Back
Read the whole website first before responding to the
whole group in some fully true and amazing way but whatever you do don't
ever read this whole website straight through without taking time out to
stretch and relax. Stand up right now and go outside. Feel the changes that
take place in your perception of the environment.
The email groups really are where all the real action is
if you really do want to play. But please don't play to win as that is not the
point of this fine and elegant new game of universal redemption that is not
only original but is magical as well.
Eden is an amazing work in progress that will never end so don't hold
your breath waiting for it to begin because this is it right now. We are now in
the planning stages of a whole new series of waves that we call a set where I
come from.
We
don't care what people think about art and science and religion. Eden
combines all these things into a workable new whole.
People always want to know the rules. But knowing all the rules has
always been against all the rules here on Earth so it just might be
the same in Eden
because Eden is the Earth where a lot of rules at this stage of our inspired
development is something we
do not intend to try to sail the seven seas on backwards.
We don't need no stinking rules is what some of the most hostile people
might choose to say. But I though it might be nice to force a few people to
take some responsibility for making their own little bitty rules of self
conduct in accordance with a
little thing called Personal Responsibility and then we can talk about all the
big fat rules they think have coming just to cover their own asses forever
and a day when they have not even begun to keep their word in honor.
Deep Discipline
We will have to ask the people to practice deep Self Discipline. Keep the
Faith.
Stand True. Never Falter. Show that you can control your own self interests first
and then maybe you can be
trusted with just a small part the Vision
of Eden like this one little patch of ground we call a Three Acre Homestead
which is probably about all most people can handle right there even without the 2
acre Farm Site that goes along with it.
Until then you would do well to talk softly and walk softly into the
invisible sphere of the Eden Project which is no part of the public domain. Please don't use words as a weapon
here.
Words hurt.
We only use words as a tool in Eden. They are not meant to ever
take the place of the deeply rooted realities of Eden. And so those who
wish to know the real realities of Eden must first actually submerse
themselves much more deeply into the material and then try to get the full experience of it for
your own good without blaming T for using such direct language.
Then you should be able to come on up with something to share and to show
the people that you really care.
You do have to show us something good to show that you are really
here and not still just way over there. We aren't looking to be dragging people along against their
will. And we are not looking to accumulate all manner of things that may be
blowing around in the wind.
Thoughtless remarks and
insensitive actions could become a grave threat and a real danger to us all.
Work closely with the Organizer and general all around visionary handy man if you want to ever become a real part of
any community.
If you can't find your way in please don't try to take the door off the
hinges or take any other things into your own hands that are not yours to
even touch much less to abuse with these thoughtless barrages of ignorance
compounded with need and greed to the extreme. Know your own limitations and
do not assume that Eden is anything like what you thought it was.
The Way into Eden
Eden is about being willing to step right in to the full blown Vision of what
it is and what it always will be. And you will have to be able to become a
part of that vision. It's not going to be delivered right to your door.
If I have reached out to a lot of people please take the time to realize that the converse
may also become true and it usually is and it may even become an imperative
very quickly now which our friends in String Theory can tell you all about.
You may even have to begin to reach out more and more for Eden as you
drift farther and farther away on some iceberg that is melting fast. And we do still welcome your continued
approach if you can make it but you do not want to be left standing among
those who would wrongfully begin to approach Eden in an inappropriate manner.
Most everything that needs to be understood in Eden will be when you have
reached that point that you are worthy of sharing and caring as an equal who
has been proven in this vision to be worthy of our trouble and as somebody
who has supported the project in many ways.
Everything in Eden must be allowed to happen in the right way which is
the way of excellence and grace. Anything else would be
an abrupt interruption of the natural flows of the Waters of Eden and that is to be
listened to and understood as it is said that the waters in Eden speak as True
as the Word of T could ever be. That means that nothing is ever forced upon
anyone in Eden.
Walking Softly
It may seem strange at first that things are to be put on the table and
left there for us to deal with in our own time but that's the way it is in
any healthy family. It's not for anybody to try to force their own personal
agendas upon us. And it really is all very self explanatory once you learn
to unlearn for your own self and then we can begin to show each other the way.
Those who want to help to create this community will have to find a
way to do so in a very big way while asking for very little back. I am not
looking for those who come here offering nothing of any real value to this
enduring vision and this worthy project. We all have enough of that level of interest as it is.
You should be able to demonstrate your ability to self integrate into this
extremely well conceived of if still slightly misunderstood project.
We don't respect control freaks in Eden. Walk softly upon the face of the
Earth in peace and with dignity and respect. Don't burn your only bridge to
Eden in a spurt of self destruction by trying to hurl insults at T who is
still very closely tied in with Eden and so a stab at T could still be taken
as a stab in the back of Eden and that would be a betrayal.
Wilderness Currents
What we are looking for primarily at this time is only other self competent
and cooperatively minded people who are willing and able to go
right to work on a dime or will at least wait until the time is right for them to shine
and to make a very
real and significant contribution toward this fine and elegant new project to
save the Earth from the inside out which
thing by the way is how you become one of the Kindred Spirits of the Emerald
Forest.
These are the people of the vision that are part of a new destiny that I will be glad to meet up with and talk
with at
the Lodge Meetings and I will walk the walk and talk the talk with only these
good folks who show up on the Hikes up into some beautiful
country that we call the Middle Eel Wilderness.
These are the people I want to meet up with
on the road and at the many conferences and other events where I can be found
reaching out to the various
lost peoples of this ancient world who are at least facing in the right direction
and do have a place for me to stay while I am in town.
The rest will have to make do with what little time I may have left
over to shred whatever is left of the indoctrinations of the thoughtless
majority who is the true master who they still must serve but we are Free
Thinkers here who can turn the Universe inside out on a dime so don't get us
mistaken for just more of the same old game of premature emancipation with
all this thoughtless indiscrimination.
The Work Group
When I am up on stage in front of the microphone or the email groups that is no time to
be making your big move to display your own self importance and the splendor of
your own spacious disregard.
If you do ask a question at one of these crucial
times then please do make it one that I would like be able to speak to freely and in
some real depth and not just something that you think I should have to
answer to and explain to your satisfaction. Bring those little problems to
me personally after the crowd has gone.
We talk about all those
little things only in the Work Group and that is not to go before the hoggishness of
the general public who may have found their way into the main group who
think they have every right to rip and tear in a fit of frenzy.
It is not for me to be jumping on one
little bit of potential interest either which thing is so commonly offered
to me on a regular basis as if that was something that I would personally be
very excited about. Also don't expect me to have the same level of interest
in you and who you are and what you might think which doesn't always really
matter that much to me.
If I have attracted your attention in some way that does not mean that
you have attracted mine or that we are somehow mutually interested in each
other not that you are a bad person but I have just not seen anything on you
yet that has gotten my attention.
I am going to be able to be here for everyone personally. I am going to be
able to organize a fairly large body of good
people with all the credentials to begin with who are knowledgeable and experienced into a working
Council who can stand on their own two feet.
This Council will then eventually be able to take over most all of the decision making
responsibilities for this project which will begin only when they have been fully trained
and activated and have shown some real growth and have developed
personal responsibility and a willingness to listen and to learn.
We will all have to share somewhat equitably in the decision making process
just to assure some level of internal stability which should not be hard to
do at all but this will only happen as I have said one fine day when enough
of these little children of Babylon have
decided to start acting like the grown up men and women of Eden we expect to
see which would make it worth my trouble.
But that day may never come we you
can't all make it there on time because you all may still have a long way to go before you can
step forth as a responsible adult and join in with the others without mashing
everything up into a pulp as we have seen enough of already now to last a
very long time.
The Village People
Many new steps
need be taken with grace and dignity and you must be prepared to take those
steps one after the other as they come up. And please don't tell me that you
don't know what to do because every indication is there for you.
This is just the beginnings of a perfectly clear wake up call that is to go
out to all humankind to begin the building and the planting and the growing of this Community
as a part of the Emerald Forest which is an extremely
advanced perspective by modern standards.
We are
the Village People. We are the Kindred Spirits of the Emerald Forest. That does
have to mean something. More is not always Better. Sometimes Enough is
Enough.
Everybody
may think they have something big to say about Eden. And we do listen
very deeply to each and every one of you to see if anything at all had been
said but some things are better left unsaid and you will be expected to
demonstrate a very clear knowledge about that even if you don't know
anything about or the executions will begin.
How could we expect any less that complete excellence in Eden? Listen
first oh pompous one and learn to put your own Self last is what we will
kindly say to all the new people who come to Eden to eat with their mouths
open wit a gaping stare.
Nothing is only the beginning of more
nothing and so that will be turned away which has no use and serves no purpose
and the purpose is not collective self satisfaction but to serve the
emerging vision of the Emerald Forest.
We do want to be able to integrate some new energy into the mix.
We have had some experiments using different Moderators at the Lodge Meetings
and in this group as a part of that learning process.
Moderation
It doesn't always work when we try to use a inexperienced moderator who does not have the core spirit of this project
at heart and in mind and is not alive with the mass or the energy necessary to guide this group into the future and
to be able to protect this project from being commandeered by
invading personal agendas.
Learning new skills
Some skills and training and experiences and actual credential are
sometimes required here but there does need to
be some real very sense of guidance and direction from the moderators as well. Otherwise the crowd will divide and conquer
itself over and over again as we have seen in so called world events.
If I can't make it to a meeting near you some time soon we will all need to know
that there are a few other choice and select people who can act as moderators
and who will do the job well enough to suffice during my rare absences
when I may not be able to be there.
We will continue experimenting with using different
Moderators at the Lodge Meetings and in this group as a part of that learning
process. But it doesn't always work to try to force something to work that just
does not work and that would only be a lateral move.
Some people talk on way too long.
A moderator does have to be able to handle people who do talk on way too much
or are pushing their own agenda or may just want to ramble on about nothing
and how important it is for them to be posturing themselves as an important
leader.
We have attracted many talkers here. I do need to see
that other would be moderators can cut these people off and will do so without
thinking twice about it. This is a skill that must be learned, and not to be
an accident to be cleaned up after later as we have been conditioned by the
mass indoctrination system.
We do have to have a very real focus here and none of us have time
for that kind of thing so the would be moderators do need to be able
to do more than just sit there helpless as a baby while a thief
walks off with the entire project.
Eden is a Child Centered Community. The Meetings are not a good place for
children. How can that be? Small children can not be allowed to interrupt the
meeting.
Many Solutions
One parent takes the child off to play somewhere for
awhile and then they may take turns. We create only positive interactions with
Eden and children that feeds their healthy and happy growth.
We don't go one
step out of our way to create the negative conditions where their parents have
to be constantly exerting power over them to keep them quiet while we talk
about important things.
That only hurts the children and it creates an
atmosphere of constant disruption to the meetings. It also is a robbery of the
group and a false posturing as the Authority Figure in the midst of our group.
It's a power over trip that you may well have on somebody that we don't want
to see played out before the group.
We must put the vision first and the rest must find its own way.
Respect this project. Learning from nature is what Eden is all about and then it is also a beautiful extension of nature. We are
just taking it a few steps further than anyone has ever dreamed of before.
Those who are afraid to dream a real dream may have no place in Eden.
We are not a carbon copy of any other communities that I know of and so it
might be good not to keep expecting that anymore when we may or may not be
down with some of that.
The Pleiadeans
We may even produce a few other communities that are either directly related to Eden and in
close alignment with the Vision or just a loose association of
communities that are all very similar and linked up various ways that could be
called the Pleiades EcoVillage Network which will be our own family network
within the Emerald Forest which is Global and even Universal.
This vision does come straight out of the vision of the Emerald Forest and it does have a
place for every good thing in that forest. And it
does look pretty good from where things see themselves which is
where this whole thing comes from again and again.
The vision is not just about me or about you and it's not just about
me and you looking after our own common interests. There is such a thing as the rest of the natural world
which has been a very
good place to start but we will now take it quite a bit farther if
you don't mind my saying so in such an inarticulate manner.
A Tree doesn't have any great need for attention and a lot of personal
approval. That is another thing entirely. People do want to bring their own
personal feelings into Eden which only fuels the fires of discontent. But
Eden works by its own natural laws of orders and progression. It's
all connected. It's all related. It's all ways changing. The secret of our
survival is to work very quietly within these laws.
Those personal things will have their little places. But they are not
central to Eden which is a kind of magic that works very quietly and it just keeps on growing like an immense Tree that fits right in
with the natural environment and harms no one and that's why all harmful
energy from personal power struggles and such must be kept out.
What it has always been is a very good plan. But
the plan is
really only just the beginning. You must be able to harmonize within the ever
unfolding emerging realities of Eden.
I have not said these things for nothing. Eden is Real. And that can break
people up fast. She may be attracted to the exciting new realities that are
opening up before us all. But He may not want her to get too wrapped up in
anything that could threaten his importance. This kind of thing. Or She may be
the one who doesn't want her world to change. We are all subject to these
kinds of concerns. And we must all be able to overcome them.
Now we must all begin to demonstrate
some other very real and equally interesting bits of interest
and show some very good sensibilities and some very positive
attributes and qualities.
And if you don't mind my totally wacked sense of humor
please do join our emerging workgroup in a very real way and make your very special contributions known to all.
And then you may as well read the whole website before responding to
the whole group in some fully true and amazing way. But please don't play
to win as that is not the point of this fine and elegant new game that we call
Eden. Those who win lose. Those who lose win. - T
