Foundation for Intentional Community?

In Chapter 6 of Living Deliberately, Harry Palmer says:

I felt a universal self, and though it still slumbered, it was unified and whole. Beyond the dream theaters of consciousness,  beyond  the  creations  of  time,  space, form, and event, I experienced a total compassion and  unconditional  love  for  life.  I  could  stay  or return. 

I feel this is an excellent foundation/requirement for interacting with others. Unless, by oneself, one has recognized the unity of all life, then community will be a prison as opposed to a launchpad.

Once one has that realization, one is free to take that "pregnant primordial awareness" in whatever the way they  please:

• the path of the renunciate - aware and blissful with no involvement in the material realm
• the path of the magick user - manifestation for collective "good"
• the path of leela - infinite games

EXCEPT, the path of finite games - if someone's awareness is limited to the physical universe and they take the games here as serious and real, then they might not gel with the others. This means various constructive paths such as charity workers and environmentalists might not fit just as much as someone fixated on winning the Super Bowl.

July is a month of freedom for many things, including Harry Palmer

The obvious one is the month of independence of the pioneers from the English.

But also Harry Palmer evidently started his quest for freedom in July of 1986 because in Chapter 6 of "Living Deliberately" (The Rapture) he states:

September, 1986.  I drained and dismantled the sensory-deprivation tank. In many ways it was a useful tool, but I now realized it was unnecessary to spend any further time in the tank.  I saw clearly that there were easier ways to achieve the long-sought, high ground of awareness from which any existence is a profound, deliberate experience.

This is a juicy chapter, loaded with plenty of things to tantalize one into a maha sadhana:

I now saw the mind as a universal tool that could be adjusted, aligned, and changed. It was no longer a prison or a trap.

as easily as I could shift attention from one sound to another or from one sight to another, the form and content of the consciousness I defined myself as. I could experience any state of existence I could imagine, any state I wished to create. So, naturally, I chose to be euphoric. And when I created it, the whole universe reflected my expectations back to me. I choreographed a symphony of spiritual ecstasy. I looked from my eyes, but I saw from a heart beyond the edges of space. What was happening and who I was were one and the same.

the prize so long sought, the elusive extraordinary moment of consciousness deliberately created.

I was in whatever place and time I created. In full view was the ever-changing expression of the universal consciousness. I saw the end of the path that every spiritual practice, in its purest moment of conception, has attempted to bring to humankind

Beneath the definition, beneath the illusion of difference, I felt a universal self, and though it still slumbered, it was unified and whole. Beyond the dream theaters of consciousness,  beyond  the  creations  of  time,  space, form, and event, I experienced a total compassion and  unconditional  love  for  life.  I  could  stay  or return. The choice of the bodhisattva!

Whenever 2 or 3 are gathered in my name

hey wait a minute! you mean i cant find You by myself?!

Matthew 18:20 makes that group-trap statement. Hmm...

"reality is created by mental agreement" - Caspar de Rijk

Disturbance & Insecurity are at this moment the most frequently implemented concepts which flow into our social lives.
Fear for infection (Coronavirus), or Terror (from the Right) & environmental catastrophes (fire, floods, climate change) are in these weeks the most frequently communicated themes.

What do these things have in common? They stir up fears that one may not survive and unmolested physical life is questioned – correct, physical life, not the spiritual beings existence.

Summarizing all this, one can recognize the intrinsic intention to create such a scenario for as many people as possible.

We would like to remind you that reality is created by mental agreement. It’s the thoughts of each individual together that co-create this, enhance this and keep it alive.

Observe your own thoughts. Which fears and imaginations are getting triggered?
This created mental energy feeds these things and makes them grow.
Take notice of your thoughts and feelings and don’t go effect of them! Recognize what they are –thoughts, considerations. These can be cleared and eliminated by the Imagination Processing Method. You find the instructions in the Self-Explorer’s Handbook Chapter 9, but also you can pay us a visit at the institute to get professional sessions in Biere, Germany or in Vienna, Austria.
Let’s deal with it and follow the old saying „Imagine there was a war but nobody showed up“.
