Community & communication
Rooted in meaningful relationship and shared visions, community is everywhere. Family, business, a group of people living together, a local or virtual market, a sport’s team, a joined initiative of any type, but even without that, we are all always connected and working together, even those who live solitarily, like hermits, deeply hidden. Yet the community structures we used to live in have experienced great damage on all these levels, and have been replaced by scarcity, competition, fear, division and dependency on money, often even in remote corners of the world (see Being Human page for more information).
While many people are longing for healthy physical community, harmonious high-frequency collaboration and exploration of new ways of living still seem to predominantly exist distantly – online and via the waters of our being – our biology which connects us in less tangible ways. All water on this planet is constant communication, including the liquids in our bodies. High-frequency human beings are spread out around the world like figures on a chessboard, operating very effectively during this time of transformation, arranged by nature, not by mind. Sometimes we meet and then we part again. Those who embody the essence of what we all are hear the call from the inside out when a move is needed. This is also community and it is fascinating & exciting.
For me relating to each other is rooted in deep listening. Hence sharing a space with others need not be loud. Much communication happens silently. Feeling each other can often say more than words. Spoken conversation is becoming more and more concise, effective & powerful, more simple, pointed and purposeful. Details are felt while words are spoken. Communication in this way is deeper and a foundation for healthy community. You can take a deeper look at this topic on our blog post ‘Community – Genuinely feeling life‘.
Nature’s principles of equity, efficiency, transparency, openness and inclusiveness are reflected in high-frequency community through authentic engaging out of the purity of our own knowing that comes out of the connectedness with all life. Calculating behaviours – left behind. The inside and the outside match. We hear and see each other in the true meaning of these words, being a group as well as individuals. We know and respect that – just like nature is dynamic – communities keep changing in structure, composition, purpose and size. No trying to make something work that no longer aligns. People and circumstances change. No need to control others.
Agreements and the structure of the community are fully transparent to the group whether it is a family, a business, or a dance circle. And yet, like nature, community unfolds without agenda. This is where logic fails and our whole being really begins to lead us. Don’t try to live by what I write, or by what others say. Live your truth, rooted in the purity of your wisdom, and community will ensue. This website is abundant with high-frequency community across all pages, so is this entire planet. Below are some examples of what we more conventionally associate with the term community, be it virtual or physical. There are so many forms it can take.
