Where to live, where to go? Is there a place where I can live my 'essential meaning' - together with others?

Asking myself about the sense of life, I found answers that let me doubt what is offered from our society. I had to realize that most established concepts have created a 'fake reality' that serves in the first place to keep people in dependency and follower of a dump consumer society that do, buy, think and believe what strengthens the system so that all follow and stay, manipulated from a few who have the power.

I stepped out of this some time ago and I'm very critical in every thing, I even question myself and so I got rid of most of my false concepts about life and what might be the real meaning of it. My self image has changed and is not manipulated any more and I don't want to fulfill common images to feel good. I do what makes sense to me and I trust my own judgement.

Seeing that it is necessary to do something about the primitive level of awareness of people, that obviously brought our living space the Earth into danger, - I searched about it I have found various effective ways, but alone I can do very little. I believe that living with a group of people, uniting our energy, we could do something that has an impact. That could be a positive result, living in a creative and healthy environment, coming out of our intention to work on ourselves, not being sucked by false goals.

I visited quite a number of existing groups and communities, but I found out, that they all are living out of concepts, trying to live these. Depending on the attraction of these concepts, they have followers who can identify themselves with them. What I could see is that all those concepts and beliefs are still based on the need of people in this society and that is by satisfying their personalities.

That's not what I'm looking for! So where can I live, where can I go? Anybody knows a place or has heard about one? I know about a few people who tried to make a place, but after a few years they gave up, frustrated and disappointed... I don't want to make my own place, I want to join an existing group, but I don't want to join a leader or guru and I also don't want to join any kind of religious belief system.

Please tell me about your experiences...

    You have painted a pretty good picture of what you don't want.

    Exactly what you do want is not that clear

    It looks like you want to join a group that is going to change the

    world. That probably won't happen. We do not live in a Utopia.

    But we do need a lot of people like you who are willing to expend

    effort on creating a Better world. There are things you can do

    to give of yourself and make a better world.

    You could be a companion to an elderly person. Help feed homeless and hungry people. Work in a private school that has your standards

    to pass on to children.

    Your life here is important. Your energy needs to be channel led in a direction you can feel good about. Keep seeking. You will

    find an answer.
