Living Life Together

With all the troubles we’re seeing in the world right now, I believe co-housing is becoming more of a necessity for life. And the manner in which we live can make or break us.

Therefore, I think we all need to be wise in deciding where & with whom we choose to abide and how we choose to live there.

Where to Shelter Ourselves

We all need safe shelter.

I personally think it’s unwise to dwell in densely populated areas, because I believe they are danger zones when trouble strikes on a societal level.

With Whom Do We Abide

If “united we stand, divided we fall” is true, I personally opt for a united house.

And from my experience, I’ve come to find that unity is best established based on a shared set of values and an agreed upon set of house rules/guidelines to abide by. (What that will be is up to each household.)

When given the choice, I think it’s unwise to abide with those who refuse to face, acknowledge & accept reality because those who do this are incapable of making wise decisions.

I realize we have all been deceived about many things in our life, and it’s very difficult to accept that reality because nobody likes being fooled, especially when it comes to that which is fundamental to one’s worldview.

But the fact is, we have all inherited lies and there are deceptive forces continually at work all around us, all the time. I believe it is our responsibility to pay attention and discern between what is real & what is not. That is, if we want to live. (And that includes periodically auditing our belief system to make sure it aligns with reality.)

I also think it is unwise to co-house with those who willingly serve the Powers-That-Should-Not-Be in this world.

I imagine most people have been made a victim of trickery, capture & enslavement by the PTSNB. However, once we realize that is the case, we have a choice to either attempt to escape their clutches & control or settle in & go along to get along.

If we’re of the mindset that we want to escape, and those with whom we share the same roof is of the mindset of settling in, that co-habitation will likely be problematic.

In my view the Powers-That-Shouldn’t-Be are clearly against us. They are stealing from us & our fellow man, and they are committing all sorts of atrocities against mankind. Given this they have revealed themselves to be our Enemy. And we have a choice: to either willingly aid & abet that Enemy or not. (I choose not.)

And lastly, I think it is wise to cohabit with those who are on the same path, headed toward the same destination. Because who naturally would be better to help us get where we want to go than those who dwell in our immediate midst?

Co-housing can work. But it takes work to make it work.

Live. Together.

If we are living together with others who share our core set of values and are pursuing our same aim, then I believe we ought to live — together.

I think it’s important to commune with one another and live life together. Eat together, work together, learn together, play together and grow together. Doing these things will not only strengthen & enrich our respective lives, but they will also help build bonds of trust between each other.

And this is what we need to strengthen our households. A strong household is a necessary building block for a strong community.

And a strong community is what we each need to survive & thrive in this world.

In all the years my husband and I have been attempting to build a community around us, I always came back to the fact that it all starts at home.
