Sangha of committed, interested people

"Sangha"? = community with purpose and practice

What kind exactly? "Pragmatic Utopians"

Want: better, wiser lives and world. Committed to awakening and awakening society

Approach: Rigorous and embodied.

Approach 1: Inner and outer change with a priority on inner development/cultural evolution Approach 2: Scientific approach: curious, experimental, open to revision, improving, structured Approach 3 (?): Embodied. Practical application and active practice ^DtZ1SAae

What's different from current intentional communities?

learning oriented: experimentation and rigor in approach
engaged / proximate with mainstream (vs isolated)
committed to a new "awakening" paradigm i.e. paradigm oriented to inner development and cultural evolution (ontological developmental). In short: what we call "conscious" communities

NB: even communities that are spiritual (e.g. monastics) often don't have a rigorous, coherent vision of how inner development is relevant to future we are creating (or even to the community itself e.g. waking up without cleaning up or growing up) ^Wc1BVc3F

How does a new kind of culture/society come about?

It starts by reaching some kind of critical mass … 1%? then 5% … then 10%

At some point a culture "tips" ^Af1FsYt5

Wiser, weller world

Personal flourishing Collective nourishing!

A society oriented to inner growth rather than outer growth.

Grounded in a belief in possibility of ongoing (unlimited) inner growth and that it is "transpersonal" ^0u5CGNEO

What distinguishes Life Itself? What is flavor of Life Itself vs other sanghas? (All offer belonging) ^Ipe7K9Yi

Why is conscious coliving so "Life Itself"

Concrete / practical / embodied
Broadly relevant
People living together (consciously) is key to theory of change and hence a great filter. It is the first step
- Why? because living (more) in community is key …

Aside: another filter would be Ken Wilber 101 because it is the foundations of a second renaissance: path to awakening society vision.

Aside: another filter would be a multi-dimensional growth practice aka cultivating being ^yTk1yzN4
