Excellence.  Holistic approach to life .To be natural completely. Can these things be fostered whilst being aware of patterns, ones security? Can the environment in which we live provide all the necessary ingredients for this to take place? An intentional community, put together by a very deep feeling that this would be the only course to take. 

 

Perhaps thought at the optimum level of its capacities would operate in such an environment without pressure. Perhaps a good creative mind would ensue? Forgetting lifestyle. Who would ever consider this? Is it feasible without creating an ideological concept out of it? Would various people, who have seen the immense fragmentation in the society in which they live, and in themselves, have the courage to attempt something like this? That is, without any objective in mind, just to do it out of the great feeling of urgency, create a new sharing community.

 

Given that there is a body of people that have been touched by the teachings of J. Krishnamurti; they must have looked into the need for radical change, having realized the importance for change in the human psyche. So is there a global perspective in this, sparked by the feeling that practical things can be done to put meaning into every daily activity? If this were possible, that is the gathering together of human, and natural resources, in order to undergo an experiment in relationship at every level? There are many examples of attempts at sustainable, harmonious living throughout the world, Perhaps the emphasis here is less on the ideal than just to venture into an experiment that has a potential to uncover, disclose, reveal through daily interactions the wonder, and complexity of existence.
