I think this is an interesting and valuable perspective and thank you for sharing it. Like you, I often don't think much of the physical bounds or lack thereof of our Universe, not consciously, mind you, but perhaps not not consciously so as not to distract me from the immediate challenges we...

Yeah, I can confirm this is accurate.

Howdy, neighbor. Just for the record, drug use on our Farm is confined to marijuana smoking and other "natural" psychedelia on occasion. We stay far away from the hard stuff. Interferes with our primary objective of repersonalizing a society, making person to person relations the core of...

That's really beautiful, man.

I've stood back reading this thread and there are a few things I think need to be said for the betterment of our community. First of all, rjkarl and Townie, we hear you. We hear your voices. We understand your pain. Your feelings are valid, and we all want you to know that. What I'd like to...

Often in our community, when two members have a conflict, we all convene together in a safe environment where our tribe can create a collaborative process so that each participant can tell his or her story honestly. We take turns expressing our feelings, while the others listen, hear, and...

I agree with my friend Dan. Things would be better if we all just took a step back and looked each other in the eye and forgave each other, you know? A fresh start. A new chance to live and love. I'd give Ron Wellman a hug if I could. Namaste, brother.

In our community, while we do not adhere to the traditional concept of marriage as practiced by society at large, members often participate in ceremonies intended to reflect a confederation of souls. This may take the form of two or more participants. One particularly memorable ceremony...

I couldn't agree more, brother. Mushrooms are tasty, sustainable alternative to beef. I would also suggest a couple tablespoons of chia seeds to help thicken the sauce. Your chakras will thank you.

Brother, you strike me as an individual who might enjoy hemp seed butter. Dairy free, vegan, and free of genetically modified organisms, assuming you are so inclined. You should inquire with your local shop's proprietor.

Right on, brother. I was raised in such an intentional community in northeastern New Hampshire, and I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. Days spent collecting drinking water from the nearby stream, wandering the forest alone in search of wild berries and mushrooms, and preparing...

That sounds delicious, man. Good for you.

You and me both, brother.

Good for you, man. I think that's really great that you can work hard and earn that kind of blessing, you know? A lot of folks would choose to pay it forward, maybe put it towards some sustainable living initiatives, things of that nature, but that's totally up to you and your own personal...

Thanks for the support, guys. If only we could sit down with the officers and dialogue about our objectives, I think we would all discover that at our core selves, we share common principles and likely similar visions of achieving self-actualization and advancing human possibility. I for one...

I understand where you're coming from. There is a subculture of self-identified hippie who readily embrace the label, but do not necessarily adopt the practices of those choosing to reside in intentional communities. Nor do they dedicate themselves to the principles of that lifestyle (not that...

A long time ago I made a spiritual commitment to simple living and self-reliance. Right now I'm working with several like-minded permaculturalists to cultivate our own quinoa crop on the Farm. There is a similar ecovillage nearby that has enjoyed a bumper yield of eggplant this season. We're...

You know, that's all right, man. I have a different take. A real different take. But the fact that you tried to listen to it and decided it wasn't for you...I respect that, man. I do. I'm sure you can appreciate it as a form of music, you know? Just not one you particularly enjoy. We...
