"Just one violin out of tune in an orchestra, or one voice off-key in a choir, will ruin a beautiful harmony, or an enchanting ensemble. -
It matters not how loudly it grates, or how softly; if it does not stop, the performance will come to an end.
So it is with the cells of our bodies, and of the birds, insects, animals and plants whose music fills the Earth. When a jarring note is introduced, no matter how softly, chords become discords, melody becomes noise, life degrades and disappears. ..."[11]

January 9, 2024 - The Path of Silence -
"...let silence penetrate your being.
Then, your unfettered mind will become capable of the most luminous creations.
It is the little things that surge up from below that hinder our powers of thought: the worries, sorrows, grudges and all the prosaic cares of everyday life."[10]

"...the state of the planet on which we live is tied to the degree of humanity’s evolution ... Everything will change on account of the lives of human beings, simply because they will have come to understand the work they need to do on themselves in order to transform themselves."[9]

December 19, 2023 - A Longing for Beauty! -
"The only way to master your instinctive impulses is to have a love for a high ideal. And what is a high ideal? It is a longing for beauty, the spiritual beauty that is purity, light and harmony. When you contemplate this beauty, you naturally and spontaneously turn away from all that is unhealthy, dark and chaotic. Your love of beauty is a protection; it is like a garment that you want to keep clean. ..."[8]

December 8, 2023 - The Possibility of Experiencing "Heaven on Earth" -
It is apparent to this writer that the possibility of experiencing "Heaven on Earth" requires certain understanding of harmony in order to be in true harmony with creation. The quintessence of this understanding (in his opinion) begins with knowing the spirit of that creation from which everything else follows in the creation process.
The place where his: "Enchanted Garden Onion" is presently located was built to be a home for people ~ originally for a family. Some years later the ownership transferred to another individual who also was actively family-oriented. This woman married a man who also had a son living with them plus the woman had her mother living with them here. This foundation of Family Spirit continued living here until the owners left and yet maintained their ownership of what now was their property rather than their home. Since then one may wonder what happened to the family spirit that was living here.
Now another change in ownership is in the works. There's been virtually no mention of any "family spirit" here since the beginning of this transition a few years ago. There has been talk about "community" however what authentic community might be and most especially what it takes to truly build community has not been established here as a possible evolution to extend from "family spirit" into the future.
The timing of this change of ownership here is practically conjunct the most extreme financial "readjustment" in all of the history of: "The United States of America" (unincorporated)! If not fully evident within the next several days or so then possibly soon thereafter - unless some new spirit of extraordinary true benevolent inclusiveness rises up within the banking industry and the interests that support this industry. This writer can not predict the outcome of the present-day "crisis/opportunity" and can only pray for the understanding of a grater harmony!

"...Many rich people lose all their money or invest it badly because they have not dedicated it to God; God is the only one who could have advised them how to use it to do good."[7]

November 6, 2023 - "A Committed Study Group" -
In the past couple hours this blog-writer made reference to: "The Different Drum: Community Making and Peace" and "he most highly recommend(ed) it and ideally to take it on as a committed study group" to six other people who might possibly all aspire toward becoming an authentic "Enchanted Garden Community." He has to see this recommendation simply just in terms of possibly "sowing seed" (even though he thinks he may have first sowed this seed about a year ago ; ~ ).
Mt 13:3 "Behold, the sower went out to sow.
And as he sowed, some seeds fell beside the way, and the birds came and devoured them.
And others fell on the rocky places, where they did not have much earth, and immediately they sprang up because they had no depth of earth.
But when the sun rose, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered.
And others fell on the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them.
But others fell on the good earth and yielded fruit, one a hundredfold, and one sixtyfold, and one thirtyfold.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear."
Another "seed" offered in the meeting with "six other people" by another individual concerned communication to which this writer concurred saying "it is a corner-stone for community-building" who previously presented:
"People who are willing to be present for this kind of radically-honest communication are the ones who are more able to co-create genuine community. On the other hand - sharing radically-honest communications is most likely contrary to the 'conditioning' that most people have been living under virtually all of their lives and consequently this is why most people probably need some form of supported de-conditioning for their personal transformation in this regards."[4]
In light of all the above, maybe "a committed study group" is not the most practical/accessible way toward the shared transformational process that this writer concurs with Scott Peck is required (as stated in his book: "The Different Drum"). Maybe a workshop is a better approach.[6]
"The Different Drum by M. Scott Peck explores in depth the concept of building community. In the first section of the book called 'The Foundation,' Peck writes about how as a younger man he had been involved in very few true communities in his life. But when he was a member of a true community, it had great impact on his life. He goes on to explain the concept of genuine community and how a community is formed. Peck defines “true community” as a group of people who have developed these characteristics: inclusivity, commitment, and consensus; a sense of realism; the ability to be contemplative and self-aware; feelings of safety in all members; the ability for members to experiment with new types of behaviors; the ability to fight gracefully; a place where all members are leaders; and a spirit of peace. Peck then outlines the stages that a group needs to go through to become a true community and identifies how a community is then maintained."[5]
And: "He advocates a grass roots effort: that each individual person starts a community, in church, school or neighborhood."

November 5, 2023 -
Over 15 years ago this blog-writer returned to "The Enchanted Garden Intentional Community" for about the fourth time." He has a long history with this place that began as of 1987 with the commencement of "The Harmonic Convergence." Over the course of this recent 15 + year history he has thought of writing a book based on his real life observations of the dynamics and their consequences at play in: "The Enchanted Garden" however he had quickly dismissed these ideas because he was reasonably certain that the book had already been written and that people simply just need to read it if they want to know what this "bible" says about community-building. The title of the book is: "The Different Drum: Community Making and Peace." He most highly recommends it and ideally to take it on as a committed study group. He thinks that's about the best he may have to offer along with the perspective from Rudolf Steiner regarding what a healthy social life consists of.

"...goodness represents the fruits of man ... humans have come down to earth ... precisely in order to bear fruit. These fruits are the luminous thoughts, warm feelings, noble deeds, and the joy, beauty and peace that we bring to others. We must get up every morning with the thought of doing good. The seeds, the little sprouts that God has placed in our soul will then begin to come out, they will become confident and in a very short while, they will bear flowers and fruits."[3]

July 23, 2023 - Work For A Divine Idea -
"...when you work for a divine idea, it acts upon you immediately, and gives you all its treasures."[2]
--
Comment:
One way or another you work. If this is true for you then why not work for a divine idea (by whatever name you may give it) and thereby enjoy all its treasurers? .........

"If you turn your back on heaven in order to please others, you will lose everything, both heaven and earth. ... If you seek heaven, on the other hand, you will also possess the earth, for the earth always follows, it submits itself to heaven and is at its service. Sooner or later, if you abandon heaven in order to cling to earth, the earth will slip from your grasp and you will be left with nothing."[1]
