OK, so any qualifications and caveats aside, let's get right down to it, shall we? I am offering anyone who chooses freedom from whatever form of bondage appears to be holding them back in their life in the USA (or Europe or any other contracting/collapsing economic system) to come to Costa Rica and live freely. (yes this means free....it will cost you nothing, other than your transportation to get here....so if you're feeling really broke then beg, borrow, or steal a really good pair of hiking shoes and start walking...you may never arrive in Costa Rica, but I promise you it will be the best hike of your life, and a perfect statement of freedom to the universe (read up on the Peace Pilgrim if you don't get this)).
There is a great new "enter-prize" that is building momentum by the day. I feel it within me, and I know that this is the highest expression of my life's purpose. Hence the total commitment and total confidence. This enterprize might look alot like The Underground Railroad in America 150 years ago. Read up on this beautiful human collaboration if you are unfamiliar with what that version of the road to freedom looked like. And it really doesn't matter if you fully understand or accept how imprisoned you are within the failing system of capitalism. All that matters is that you arein touch with your honest feeling body...ARE YOU HAPPY?
Are you happy living within and probably supporting a sytem that truly cares nothing about you and your happiness? A capitalist system is not designed with this in mind. It is a business model built upon profititable business practices. It's not evil or wrong. It just doesn't have anything to do with your happiness, unless you are still conditioned to believe that there is a corollary between material wealth/fame and inner peace/happiness. Now it is important to recognize that I do not stand in opposition to this system, or to anyone in it. It just doesn't work for me.
What has always worked for me is having lots and lots of free time to play. Ample time to fully express my creativity, with my writing, for example. What has always, without fail, brought me endless pleasure and peace is spending time in the glory of the natural world. Play, creativity, nature, oh and hanging out with others who enjoy the same...this is my heaven, and what I am calling "living in the kingdom."
So the enterprize that I am inviting you to join is simply coming down to Costa Rica and helping others come down to Costa Rica. It's that simple! What people might have to do to clean up their "past" so that they can move down here permanently is perhaps not quite so simple, but I trust each individual's "higher power" to assist them with that. What I am clearly able to offer is meaningful work, a place to live, food to eat, and some really cool people to hang out with.
A 10-day tour with me is the way to explore this whole idea. I am offering some private tours as well as some group tours in early February and in early March. This is a necessary first step, the "training" module, as it were, as this is the work that you would then help me do with others. This winter is the beginning, exploring the way together. In late 2011 we want to be fully operational to welcome a growing legion of those who hear about this opportunity and choose to join us.
This is not meant to sound fear-based at all, as I see our whole evolution of consciousness and transformation as a culture and a species as thrilling...but the old form of capitalism is crumbling fast....it will never recover, no more than the Titanic was going to survive the iceberg. And of couse the real point is this: "who truly wants to live in this old form anyway when the new kingdom of heaven on earth is being offered freely?"
There are many intentional communities here in Costa Rica, at one stage or another of development. So everyone who comes and chooses to stay will find the niche where they feel the most comfortable. This is not some "hippy-dippy pie in the sky idea." These are real people, ticos and gringos together, who are choosing to live freely, enjoying the earth, play, creativity, and celebration.
Until we meet, BIG LOVE! and Pura Vida!
