Highest Good Lifestyle Considerations Beyond a Resource Based Economy: Cleaning Supplies | Materials | Clothing | Toiletries

Highest Good lifestyle considerations are areas beyond Highest Good infrastructure, Highest Good society, and a resource based economy that we consider important for One Community to address so that we demonstrate the most comprehensive approach possible for Highest Good of All living. This includes tools, machines, toiletries, cleaning supplies, daily living practices, electronics, recreational items, hardware, etc.

Creating a New Earth: One Community's Accomplishments for the Last Week

We believe creating a new earth is a process of: Deciding a new earth model is possible and desirable, creating a specific strategy and blueprints for accomplishing it, and free-sharing the blueprints so others can duplicate and evolve everything we do for The Highest Good of All. This is the One Community progress updated for the week of 5/13/2013 in our path to accomplishing these three focus points and collaboratively creating this new earth with the people who agree with us that it is possible.

Open Source and Free Education: Howard Gardner Multiple Intelligences Review and Summary for the Education for Life Program

This is the last one of the 7 we reviewed: The Howard Gardner 8 Multiple Intelligences system (which has evolved into the "9 Multiple Intelligences") is the inspiration for what we are now calling simply "Multiple Intelligences" or "Multi-Intelligence" for short. The original Gardner 8 Intelligences differentiated intelligence into 8 specific (primarily sensory) "modalities" rather than seeing it as dominated by a single general ability. This page is meant to function as an ever-expanding archive of open source, free-shared, and duplicable Howard Gardner 8 Multiple Intelligences inspired ideas that we expect to expand beyond the 9 Intelligences currently identified by the Howard Gardner system. As we expand this component even further we will continue to organize the information here into the primary components of the One Community Education Program: Curriculum for Life, Teaching Strategies for Life, Learning Tools and Toys for Life, and building The Ultimate Classroom.

Creating a New Earth: One Community Progress Update for the Last Week

One Community is focused on creating a new earth for The Highest Good of All. Open source project-launch blueprinting and free-sharing a model for self-replicating teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities to be built all over the world is our path to achieving this. We believe if we make it easy enough, affordable enough, and attractive to enough people, then we can create exponential growth and develop mainstream embracing of these concepts and literally transform life on this planet for everyone. Here is our progress update for the week of April 29th through May 5th, 2013.

Updated One Community Spirituality Page! "Spirituality for The Highest Good of All"

The spiritual philosophy of One Community is living for The Highest Good of All and Oneness; seeing each of us as expressions of each other and all aspects of spirituality be that Jesus, Buddha, Kali, Krishna, Isis, Mandela, Sofia, Mohammed, Yahweh, Sai Baba, La Virgen Maria, Waka Tankan, Ramana, God, no God, or Something else. We love life and know That which breathes everything, breathes us as well. We do not believe any power that is omnipotent or omnipresent has a use for judgment or punishment and we do our best to live a life of acceptance, love, and understanding for all; and we feel that God/The Universe/The All, or whatever label we wish to call It, does the same. We try and see the Divinity in all things and to honor this Divinity in Us by living an honorable life of gratitude, contribution, cooperation, and service to each other, our planet, and the rest of our species.

Open Source Education: Our Review of Study Technology is Done!

According to Study Technology, there are three barriers that prevent students from learning: absence of mass, too steep a gradient, and the misunderstood word and the Study Technology methodology is designed to address these. This page is meant to function as an ever-expanding archive of open source, free-shared, and duplicable Study Technology inspired ideas we reviewed as part of developing the One Community Education Program sections: Curriculum for Life, Teaching Strategies for Life, Learning Tools and Toys for Life, and building The Ultimate Classroom.

Socioemotional Development and Community: The 4 Phases of True Community Development

The epitome of socioemotional development for adults is unconditional love; building True Community is a path to creating a supportive environment where it is easier to do this. Putting aside judgment, the need to fix or change each other, and choosing to maintain an environment of people free to be themselves is a natural progression for us as an empathic civilization and collective human consciousness. One Community is designed to support this through a detailed process of seeking those with a consciousness for The Highest Good of All and our commitment to the stages of community building, consensus governing, and our social architecture.
