THIS IS ONE VERSION WE HAVE
LET'S CALL IT VIRGIN #1 (and have some friggin' fun here!)
Version 1 (for those who are already grounded in a different view of how life
on this planet can be lived in a more positive way.)
"We, the New Culture Township Organizing Committee, are committed to
establishing a town supportive of individual autonomy, interpersonal
relationships, interdependence, and personal service as a model for
cooperative living within a community designed to promote a peaceful
future. Our town will be free of violence and wherever possible, strive to
eliminate fear in the fulfillment of positive, life-affirming human
potential.
We envision our town as being: ecologically self-sustaining;
economically self-supporting; supportive of human uniqueness; and tolerant of
philosophy, spirituality and sexuality. This town will promote cultural
and environmental change by being a center for the support and creation
and dissemination of new paradigms in interpersonal relationships, social
interaction, ecological stewardship, environmental design, income production,
and the creation of business opportunities for the benefit of all.
HERE COMES ANOTHER ONE!!
LET'S CALL THIS VIRGIN #2
Version 2 (This can be used in the same way as the above one. The sentence
about human potential seems wrong somehow, but I can't exactly grasp what it
is.)
"We, the New Culture Township Organizing Group, are committed to
establishing a town supportive of individual autonomy, interpersonal
relationships, interdependence, and personal service as a model for
cooperative living within a community designed to promote a peaceful
future. Our town will develop positive and life-affirming human
potential as its way of life. We envision our town as being: ecologically
self-sustaining; economically self-supporting; supportive of human
uniqueness; and tolerant of philosophy, spirituality and sexuality. Our
town will model and promote positive paradigms in how people can joyfully
live on our fragile planet.
AND NOW, NOT WANTING TO BE LEFT OUT OF THE
PUPPY PILE, WE HAVE ANOTHER ENTRY (and welcome, says RR!)
LET'S CALL THIS VIRGIN #3
vision #3 (for those embracing new age thinking.)
The New Culture Township Organizing Committee is committed to
establishing a town based on individual autonomy, cooperation, respect,
support and mutual trust. The goal of the town is to be a model of
cooperative living through peaceful, yet dynamic and exciting ways. A
community learning through education, experience and communication. Our
plan to accomplish this is by pro-actively producing, promoting and
participating in workshops, seminars and lectures. The emphasis of
these events will be the continuously cooperative instruction of
communication that will be more motivated by love than fear and
cooperation favored over competition.
We warmly welcome, invite and celebrate a process of co-learning with
people of all ages, races, economic and cultural backgrounds. A town
supportive of human uniqueness, accepting and learning from different
philosophical ideas, spiritual practices and sexual lifestyles. Our
community will promote qualitative, progressive, cultural, and
environmental change. We will be a center for the support and creation
of new paradigms in interpersonal realtionships and social interaction.
Our way of doing this encompasses both serious and playful "excercises"
and techniques. Also, we want to have fun...!
As far as the town's overall residential health is concerned, we believe
that the best approach is a co-supportive relationship between aleopathy
and homeothapy practices. In other words, treating the symptons as well
as healing the cause, both psychologically and physically, guided by
skilled practioners.
We envision our town as being ecologically self sustaining and
economically self supporting. Ecological stewardship and conscienscious
environmental design will be an important part of our everyday awareness
and livestyle. Opportunities for the implementation of individual and
group ideas will be provided and supported, for the benefit of all.
AND FOR THE LAST ONE...
Vision 4 (for grant writing and for those who may wish to invest in an
ongoing social experiment. They may or may not be fully invested in living
in the community.)
We, the New Culture Township Organizing Committee seek to establish an
intentional community devoted to the creation of an inspirational environment,
supportive of individual autonomy and interdependent cooperation, with the
ultimate aim of returning this earth to a state of beauty. This community
will serve as a working laboratory for ongoing life research, by developing
new paradigms of social interaction, ecological stewardship, economic
sustenance, and environmental design. New models of interpersonal
relationships will be practiced to produce a psychological and social
environment for overcoming unrealistic fears and eliminating open and hidden
violence. Ethical variations in culture, tradition, lifestyle, and religion
will be celebrated and supported; and individual distinctions of identity or
choice will be recognized and honored with equal respect. Networking,
documentation, and other forms of information exchange will be regularly
employed to extend the benefits of the knowledge gained to the world at large.
