World Service

Everything is planned here to stimulate the next generations deepest desire to continue on with the truly significant work that we have just begun. But we are just to think of ourselves as being benefactors of the Earth. That is why we should want to be able to leave the entire community all paid off for all of the children of Eden to enjoy, whether they are all Twins or not.

Everything we do here is for the Children and the Earth and the positive new Spirit of the new Eco-Logical Revolution that is now quietly sweeping the world. We are the seed planters. We are creating a whole new world in a whole new way. There will be a place for all that is good and right. All good people who have something to offer will be welcomed.

Everyone is seen as having their own personal spiritual perspectives, most of which will be more Earth Centered, Child Centered and Women’s Centered and even Twins Positive to some degree, since it might be interesting to have focus in this regard as we do on so many other counts. We think Twins are more than just interesting and curious and that might be something that we would all like to promote.

Eden is about the creation of an Alternative Educational Learning and Healing Environment that will have a Self-Sustainable Micro-Economy that works.

We will have two main sectors of the economy that jobs will come from. We will have the public sector where jobs will be created by the Community Farm and Village Foods and various other things that will become a very stable part of the Sustainable Micro-Economy.

Another huge part will come from the many Homesteads and Farm Sites and the many jobs that we will create to work with and for each other on our lands and businesses that come from individual and collective resourcefulness. We will also be able to draw from our growing larger resource base of people from around the world who will be coming to learn and to experience Eden for themselves.

To Save the Earth

We won't have to depend upon government grants or rich fat cat benefactors or powerful corporations to fund this project, who would usually come with their own hidden agendas.

This whole project works in a whole new way with the ordinary money a lot of people have in sufficient levels to build this community right now simply by the process of re-allocation of resources and the diversion of wasted energy flows and by recycling our resources.

This way we end up having a lot more freedom in how we set things up. We don’t have to try to fit the obsolete expectations of others. We can do this with our own resources and in this way we will be setting an example for others around the world who may then wish to come to us to learn.

Eden will be backed right up against an extensive Wilderness Area which is a huge block of land that extends right up into Mendocino National Forest no less which makes this the most ideal place to plant the seeds of this progressive new community and to begin the creation of The Emerald Forest which will then be able to go on to save the Earth. 

The Contribution Plan

That will give everybody a fairly equal position up and above and back from the valley and with a view across the valley floor and the mountains and hills on the other sides and nothing but the wilds of nature behind us and just a short walk from everything.

The projected Contribution Pledges are on a variable rate sliding scale that progresses in time. Those who step forward among the first will be paying a little upwards of $36,000. Then as we progress the will go up a on a slowly expanding sliding scale.

Those who come much later on for whatever reason will still be able to get in at an affordable rate because it really will have just that much more value at that point as we will already have begun to set up and to create this community.

The 3 acre Homesteads will be 200' wide and about 650' long.

The One Acre Living Circles will be 200' wide and about 277 feet long.

The 2 acre Farmsites will be about the equivalent of exactly 180' wide and 484' long.

Some folks are just not going to need the 2 acre farm sites so those seniors who don't want to do any farming may choose to get in for a little less which amounts to a savings of exactly one fifth.

They will get in for as little as $28,800. due to the Seniors Discount. And that can be paid for by the month just like any other Contribution Pledge. And that is with a full sized 3 acre Homestead just like any other only they will have no Farmsite to be bothered with. Everyone else is on the same Equitable Sliding Scale that changes within the emerging time frames including the Vegan Village as a whole which will be the equivalent of 18 Homesteads and 18 Farmsites. What they will pay will be the equivalent of 18 times $36,000. regardless of when they come in. That will be $648,000.

Watershed Integration

Mendocino County is very progressively oriented in many ways. It is the first county in Northern California or anyplace else in the Americas or the world for that matter to have outlawed Genetically Altered Crops.

There is also a special provision called Section K in Mendocino County that allows for a little more leeway for folks like us who are going to be building homes for our own use out in the country.

Eden is tucked away beautifully into an area we call the Middle Eel Watershed which is part of the larger North Coast Eco-Region which has a strong Eco-Logical presence. We can take our humble places in these beautiful blue waters and ride these wild waves as far as we might ever hope to go.

Natural integration is not just another quick fix in this part of the country where protecting the environment needs to be taken into account with consideration for jobs and people and places for people to live and with an eye towards environmental justice and with respect for the plight of native peoples around the world.

And The Emerald Forest

 Life itself as we see it was not just found ready to go and it may not last forever either. That is not what we were taught to think. But that is to be resisted. We are among those who have survived the floods of wrongful indoctrination. We are among those who have climbed out of the watery seas and we are among those who have climbed out of the forests not so very long ago and walked up to the fire.

 Why did that all happen? Life creates more life by diversifying and it does that by changing existing places and turning them into better and better habitat for all to share. Life creates its own new habitats. We are that life. Now we must learn to mimic that life. We have changed the atmosphere. We have changed the climate. We have changed the soil.

 We have changed the whole environment so that the scope of life could be expanded upon and the dream of the future could be fulfilled which not to come to a dead stand still and pitch camp on the first stepping stone we may find. Now it is time to take it to the next step in this very old process of constant renewal through new creation that goes on regardless of the ceaseless processes of senseless repetition that may continue all around us whether we like it or not.

 We feel that this may be our best way to serve the life we have been given to propagate that life we have found ourselves in the midst of on this Earth even though many of us may feel we are quite disconnected from it all but now we are going reconnect some of that all up again. No one else can do it. The Earth needs our help. Only we can do what needs to be done at this important time of the changing of the days.

Restoration

We must begin now with Eden which has an important part to play within the Emerald Forest which is made up of as many progressive communities we can find and who we will help to create here in the Americas and all over the world who will stand in alignment with our common vision of an Earth Restored and a World at Peace.

We need to get ready to divert this dead end path we now find ourselves on so that we can begin to make a major change in the directions we are already heading in and so we can begin to move towards the beginning of a new beginning regardless of the fact that many others will continue on down the same dead end path of self satisfaction and the end of all life on Earth.

Our only answer is to start now to create new ways of working within the existing natural orders and progressions we find ourselves within which is how things really do work in the real world.

We are only inviting other creatively rich and self sufficient people to join in with us who come in full collaboration and as supportive and fully companionable members who can work cooperatively within the larger resource base that is behind this emerging vision and within the creative new framework of the Kindred Spirits of the Emerald Forest.

Freedom

That is all because of the unsustainable practices and faulty thinking patterns that have plagued our great nation and that will all come crashing down upon us very quickly if we cannot disengage ourselves immediately from this wrongheaded media-cracy that has gotten us caught in this trap to begin with and that has sold our children out for money.

Freedom is all going to be over. We are not going to become free until we have become much more universal in scope and hope and that's what this project is all about. We now need to begin making some choices about where we are really going with this whole new thing we have called living life like it really mattered right here on Earth and within the Spirit of Place in Eden.

We do need to point out some of the invisible boundary lines here just a little bit. There are some boundaries that do need to be respected and there are some distinctions that do need to be made.

We do need to know who is really in the game and who is not really in the game and on what scale because we do actually have to be able later on to continue to change the game in an orderly manner as we progress over and onwards in our efforts to step up and out and over the entire universe. 

Changes

Every member of this community will have some place where they really do fit in and with some idea what they can do and how they can relate and how they can participate and do their part towards the new creation.

We will all have to volunteer to serve the Earth and all her children in the one way that she really does need our help. If we don’t get control of our own human scale sustainable natural economies we will have no choices because all of our choices will already have been made for us. 

The Emerald Forest

Very few people ask the question why anything real needs to be brought up except for those of us here in the Emerald Forest who thrive on such things and then they are so quickly taken by the fact that there is no other ready made place to go without realizing that it is now up to us to create a whole new series of new life supporting environments that may start right here in Eden and that is why we much choose all of the very best places around the world and throughout the Universe and then these stepping stones will take us out to the farthest shores which will be our childrens land.

How will it work?

This deeply rooted and self preserving Forest will stand long after the obsolete city based consumer lifestyles of the rich and famous have all dropped off dead and died and we will then slowly begin to reclaim the Earth as has been predicted by various native peoples.

Life itself needs to be renewed from time to time. And that time is now and we are the people. It may be our job to carry that life to the other planets and that will create the beginnings of a real habitat for humanity that is Universal in nature for the first time if ever in a long time and that may well be rebuilt in accordance with all that really is Eco-Logical.

We now have well over 600 great big fat members in this group which is huge for any single community email group...

Thirty Five Dollars from each real member will give us something to work with over the coming year. We have not be slacking off here.

We do have some great big fat publications in the works that are just dying to be printed, and that will allow us to reach out to a lot more people. But we can only do that with your help. In return for that we will now be able to send you not only The Eden Journal which is something real that you can show to your friends, but now you will get the Free DVD along with that just as a token of our many thanks. - T
