The Community Tax in Cohousing

Dear TT members:

Even if you've never considered living in a cohousing community, it's worth taking a look at this uplifting article by Chuck Durrett about why he likes Cohousing, just to know that even in these tough times there are people actually experiencing a wonderful and rewarding life style.

Dear Norma,

Thank you for giving a peek a how well this works for some. As a happily childfree person....I am glad to live on a street with not too many kids. Neighbors say there were 57 kids on this street at one time.

The stable population on our street allows for the now adult kids,to visit with their own kids. Being able or willing to stay in one place is what grows community.To be more sharing and caring of eachother is a great thing.

Love,Mary

While the old regime of pseudo rugged individualism with a side of "not in my back yard" continue to further run into the ground a very tired and sick paradigm, there appears to be new life sprouting up quite spontaneously!  How delightful that the way things really are supposed to work collectively in this realm designed by Unity is once again confirming that it has not faded away, in spite of our troubled tendencies of late.  I first saw signs of this glorious uprising, or upwardly mobile spiraling in accord with creative tendency, in the documentary The Fourth World War, which featured uprising from the grass roots level all over the globe, somewhat spontaneously and concurrently, as if something very organic was happening quite naturally, something that can always be expected to rise from the ashes of society's ill-conceived notions of separatism and the us v. them du jour.

Also reminds me of the very thing that Ra in the Law of One claims to be, a 6th density social memory complex.  If Ra is not pulling our collective leg (and I do not believe "they" are) we were and are always intended potentially for this very thing that is so well expressed in the community development of co-housing.  I really believe we are witnessing the seeds of community that will dominate the collective behavior of humanity in the 4th density realm we are a wee bit late for already.

This makes me very hopeful and happy about affirmation/confirmation of progress toward this collective venture....
