Dear Charles, We met in Bali and then again in Devon many years ago. I was wondering if you have any written subject matter on "thoughts around communities" as we are considering a unique property project in France, and I am having a struggle with the concept of the much used "create a community" - as I principally don't believe community behaves like a clay pot, or a woven basket, in that is cannot simply be the subject of a creative force. Have you (and I am certain you have..) had thoughts on or around this construct? I hope you can help me. Sincerely, John Duffield.
Charles had some insightful comments about community in the first conversation he linked in this post. It was a tiny part of the conversation but it jumped out to me.
a.k.a. tiny inter/intracellular messengers that carry proteins, nutrients, and snippets of genetic code (RNA and DNA) between and among cells of the body that are often indistinguishable from viruses under electron microscopy and that become present in higher concentration in tissues that are unhealthy or distressed by environmental toxins or lack of resources. I'd like it if we all talked more about exosomes.
What if viruses ARE exosomes, mistaken for "viruses" and misunderstood? Since exosomes may (I'm not sure, not being a scientist that studies them) only be present, or identifiable, when a person is "ill," it would be easy to misunderstand their function, and consider them "invaders," when they might actually be sort of janitorial... ?
Economics - I heard that the Egyptians had a monetary system that ensured a velocity of money. All money had a date on it and the value of that money went down every year. This effectively made it inadvisable to hoard money, and also made it difficult to become super wealthy without contributing. I hope you comment on this notion in your upcoming essay
Yes, that's true. But it is possible to manipulate, and generally not a sufficient disincentive to prevent hoarding. Imagine 10% per year. After 10 years your money is worth zero. It has the possibility of being a very stable economic environment, as everyone knows how it works.
The inflation occurring now though has the features of lack of reinvestment and hoarding money. Those who got insanely wealthy hoarding money then had the power to rig the system and use borrowed money from the fed to create more wealth and lowering the value of the dollar for all of us.
I can really relate in the sense of another ego death as I have loosened by previous strong beliefs. It's a very dismantling and uncomfortable process, as always, but this time feels different as it's on a much larger, social scale. It makes me question where I really belong and its neither extreme "left" or "right" but more simply a longing and devotion to a "More beautiful world". Thank you for your writing 💕
I read Charles’s commentaries and essays as I travel around Oslo in Norway . I notice here how just outside of the city the space opens up to a dramatic and beautiful landscape . Your question “ who am I “
Travels around my head like a pinball thoughts both quiet and immediate . Occasionally I’m back down the Rabbit hole that houses the “ balls “. I got vaccinated and thus in this metaphor I ask myself do I have any “ balls “ left should I not have given in because my son is disabled and I’m both carer to him and Osteopath to a whole community of sufferers like him . What next did I have the “ balls “ to do what I thought was right for me or did I lose my “ balls “ by conceding . There’s a “pull “ In my mind and I’m back again around the “ track “ of thoughts . However I notice how the space around Oslo opens my thoughts and somehow it absorbs each thought and there is more clarity . For me the open spaces the sea will bring the answers of “ who am I “ as these cradles of Mother Nature can hold more than we “ carry “
. Who am I gets clearer everyday in these vast landscapes and deep oceans . I would say this is where you can go to empty the mind and clearly rejoin humanity a place of difference not necessarily division . A place of uncertainty but still action . No mandates , use the power of the vote do everything through the three filters / gatekeepers -
I really appreciate your intellect - opening doorways in how to think more expansively and gaining perspective by doing so. The value of knowledge gained through experience felt through the gut and the heart - yes we have been conditioned to disregard that as of prime truth. But ultimately what I love most about listening to you, is your obvious commitment to self enquiry and self understanding - it reveals itself in your strong presence and way you communicate. Thank you so much for living your Truth.
I have been thinking about this, too. I've had to confront the possibility that I've become a bit addicted to the struggle and the sense of purpose it offers. Thank you for creating a compassionate space to get introspective about this.

The threat to identity may be wrapped up in the Great Reset - mainly because the people behind something which has some great ideologies , ie equality etc is being run by the very people who caused the problems - big companies like Black Rock some of the most questionable world leaders to include Putin and Biden . They threaten to replace our humanity by basically making us “ feel comfortable “
Eg you will own nothing and be happy , for that homogenisation they will pay us back by promising not to ruin the earth fight each other or let technological advancement overcome us . Whilst all along keeping their elite status that allows a new exploitation of a subdued public . The threat I believe was never really vaccines or covid , just an opportunity at a time of world threat to practice control and lockdowns . From my own research I think the vaccine is good medicine but the caveats require more publicity - of course they want to keep us happy and that includes non vax public. Who am I ? I think is really under threat by creating tribalism and “ comfort “ . Charles I would love you to do an essay on the Great Reset from all the points of view they state in their “ manifesto “ for our future
Very much look forward to your economic articles. Appreciate your comment about the abstract concept of money bearing "direct, sometimes mortal consequences for real people." Perhaps if more of us took the time to consider that truth, we'd be less distracted collectively, and more focused on actual solutions (and actual issues/problems).
So much "died" during the past 2 years. I am preparing for a New World of freedom, love, cooperation and prosperity for all.
Isn't the main thing about dying what comes after that? I like your comment! xo
“I used to be a narcissist, but stopped when I realized it was making me look bad.” 🤣
I loved this!
Love it

I'm going to take an uninformed guess and say that communities start with families - kinship groups.
Ooh, does this mean we can talk about exosomes?

We already have that. Its called inflation 🤷♂️
Yes, that's true. But it is possible to manipulate, and generally not a sufficient disincentive to prevent hoarding. Imagine 10% per year. After 10 years your money is worth zero. It has the possibility of being a very stable economic environment, as everyone knows how it works.
What if a person made enough money to retire on by their mid-50s & became too disabled to work again?
That’s me. Under normal circumstances I’d have been fine until my numbers up.
Under the digital money destruction, I’d get poor just as I got my last decade without no possibilities of even keeping the lights on.
I’d be fine with it so long as there was free euthanasi!
Hypothetically speaking, right?
I like it. It would seem to be a very interesting experiment, if nothing else!
That's adorable! Thanks!
The inflation occurring now though has the features of lack of reinvestment and hoarding money. Those who got insanely wealthy hoarding money then had the power to rig the system and use borrowed money from the fed to create more wealth and lowering the value of the dollar for all of us.
Wow, that's cool!

1 . Is it true
2.is it necessary
3. Is it kind
When I read your work Charles I’m reassured as in the film Spartacus, when asked all the slaves said
“ I am Spartacus “
This is a place where I’m glad to stand with you and say
“ I am Orc “
May we learn in peace x
When the struggle ends I will be as I always am, ever adapting to my environment (but not the masses who absorb the environment as "them")

Brilliant, sweet, wise, humble, supportive of Life, as usual. You are deeply loved and appreciated!

"Communities of color" is one of those PC phrases that I could never say with a straight face.
How 'bout "Communities With Color Challenges"? ;)

Also, truly love the inspiring and strong *Green Knight* image - thanks to Greg Spalenka! It evoked for me the healed Divine Masculine. Beautiful.
