IC: So, taking a break from this IC post but if you ever want to see or review my insane thoughts about how to make our community better - just search "IC:" (that's IC Colon). I think most people that have looked at my posts know that I'm not a total nut-job but have an idyllic perspective. Even my best friends can't relate to my experience or sense of spirituality I look out from. Now, I do have about 6,000 friends that have been meditating for somewhere around my term which is 49 years (as of August 23rd), so are more insightful for sure. Most people can't believe anyone would really believe many of these things because people don't usually experience God but practice a god practice - like religion - which everyone knows is rules and rituals. That's a good access point to experiencing God but I'd say about 98% or more don't pursue that higher realm and are content with knowing simply that their community knows they are faithful servants which is truly the worldly way of being counted in the God category. Can you believe it's the egoic way, the actual opposite of what spiritualisms goal is - egoless way. Anyhoo... as Jeopardy had an answer for the other day, what's a 2 double-letter word for saying so-long, toodaloo. I'll still post but take a break from IC: Cheers, Greg p.s. I'm open to getting messages or inquiries about IC:

IC: Transformational community - first the community part - a small group of people that share ideas, thoughts, and feelings to further each other's growth. It could be a small 3 person knitting circle to a 300 million group of like-heritaged fellows. Each of us can have dozens and dozens of communities. Transformational would be something like: most of our life is linear - IOW, it goes in step by step progressions - sometimes digression but pretty steady. Transformation is when there are big leaps at a time when some, or many, have an Ah-ha experience and it is shared amongst the group. Usually only focusing on positive growth. Can we make our local Wesley Heights community that? (Prayers for the Queen and all who loved her)

IC: Trouble getting through the rut - everything's the same, droning, life goes on and on? Create new sprouts, new activities, new communities. I've created a class 10 years ago that still goes on - a book blender more or less. It's called Creating Community within Creation and its intent is to study transformational ways of being so you can transform your current communities. If you can't transform your community, maybe join a similar, already transformed community, and if that fails create your own new community that is transformational. Because you are who you hang out with. (Small note: describing a transformational community may be the next post)

IC: How many times have you had a chance to recreate yourself in the world (cosmos)? Most of us don't want to because we have life just right, don't want to fuss with it. Well, to reinvent yourself with a kind, positive nature is a huge risk, makes you vulnerable to the nasty, mean, manipulative people in the world. But take the risk because unless a few of us make the shift, we'll be stuck forever. Stick your neck out and be nice and (as many religious texts say) love your enemy, if you're scorned be kind anyway. It's for everyone but mostly for you. Story: I watched "The Princess" last night about Di - and often she was abrupt and tough - so that people would take her seriously. I guess that's one way to be BUT I still say be kind intentionally and beware some will take advantage of you - with the advance knowledge that it's their smallness - but stay kind and on course! You'll shift your whole community to more kindness.

IC: Every time you say hello, happy birthday, or something like that you're saying "I bless you." Now, you don't have to be religious - it could be namaste etc but just remember when people greet you - they are blessing you. Now, would you scorn that person - 'who is this that thinks they can say hello to me...' I don't think you'd say that if you thought they were blessing you - because anyone can bless you, high or low. Maybe you can even bless them back by saying "good day" or whatever. Exception, if you don't feel you have the moral courage to say "no" to someone who asks you for money - then I understand you being off-putting, but try it and if they ask - say "no (if that's what you want to say), but God bless you," even if you're not religious - most homeless (if that's the exception we're talking about here) just appreciate be acknowledged.

IC: Find a way to uplift humanity rather than diminish it. As we navigate our way through all these conversations - wondering if instead of being 'right' and fighting each other for something we pretty much all agree on CAN WE be kind - if you have a point be gentle. You see, that "who are being right now, in these discussions is your heaven and hell right now, on earth." If you are mean and argumentative you are pretty much living hell on earth, now. So, get your point across with love. Lastly, perspective (includes gratitude), if you really step back and see what you have, where you're at, where our species is at - we're not living in squalor, we're not living in a desert naked with nothing to eat, we're not being eaten or hunted by wild animals... yet, we speak as if we're the most desperate creatures, fighting each other tooth and nail over every issue. Yes, it's healthy for discussion and opinions to be heard but in a less harsh negative way. (BTW, if you find yourself finding fault and exceptions for a lot of these things I've said - you're being negative).

IC: Preempted by a gentleman's nextdoor comment yesterday who suggested W.H.'s people each sponsoring a local criminal...
If every person that stole a package, knocked on your door trying to get in to commit a crime, those that mug, carjack, etc and so forth... if they were all interviewed in a calm not-threatening manner - what would their answers be... maybe 1) just greedy, 2) family has nothing to eat or can't pay mortgage or rent, 3) the bar has risen on crime so I'm taking advantage of it i.e. since jails are full or have created Covid rules where the least of the crimes are being dismissed so the system doesn't have to deal with bigger problems, 4) It's the latest trend and has become more acceptable - so, if these were the answers and instead of giving them a trial and jail time - they were given $500, a bike, and a polo shirt with a company name on it, and they were hired as unofficial civil servants to do work or something like that, for a reasonable salary.... maybe as people that would police our neighborhoods to prevent these crimes - since they know criminals mentality... How would our community change? More importantly, what's my point? That everyone has to come along to get to a higher place as a species - not just the privileged, paying tax dollars to jail them or squelching those that don't meet our standards.... (there may be better ways to do this but you get my drift - doing it as a contribution to us, our neighbors, and for them - in undeveloped tribes there was no difference between me, them, us - we all took responsibility for each other and grew together).

I've been posting some of my NextDoor comments simultaneously to FB and I guess it requires them to join NextDoor to read the full comment - to my surprise I received a comment from that FB post that said (anonymously) "No way am I joining next door. My faith in humanity is hanging on by a thread as it is." So, my point, maybe I'm not far off when I try to preach about being gentle and kind - the more we pour hate into the community the more it stresses people out. In conclusion, instead of describing your crime report with negativity for the conduct of whoever is involved - be gentle, don't stress people out more. When commenting on it - try not to bash too much with your own made-up commentary. IDK, am I being negative by bashing you? Peace.

Another Ideal Community Tip: IC: Trust is the most prevalent issue with our human species. I'll use kindness as an example. Why are we fearful to treat others kindly, because there is a higher probability that those persons can take advantage of your vulnerability. My experience over many years has verified this BUT it has only proven to simplify my life. It has made me remove friends from my life, and I've forgiven them but cannot trust them again. It's complicated, complex, and paradoxical. We have to make life choices to be kind anyway. Once enough people adopt this philosophy the closer we'll be to an Ideal Community. Crazy right? Many sublter but as deadly trust breaches include: 1) seeming kind may be telling mistruths to make them look good and 'win' 2) neutrality is a poison pill where nothing is put at risk (but something to gain) and others have to do the hard work and look like the bad guy.
