Changes

Your services may not be needed in your immediate community, but in another one in another state or region of the country in which you live, so you would move. And this will happen over and over as it does today. But more and more, people will find solace and continuity in their lives where they live, and go to other places knowing that their lives would only be slightly different than where they came from. But this is centuries in the future. Now, these plans are given to you as a template for you to examine and for possible and probable implementation in the future. It will take you much time to develop a [[conscious]] effort and you will know when to do this, for there will be a necessity around you that requires this to occur. As I am speaking to you today, there are with me a contingency of community developers who stand with me, providing [[information]] to me as I give it through this individual to you. These individuals are Celestial Teachers who have come from, and have their origins and mortal existence on planets that had intentional communities. They have great experience and through their training on the [[celestial]] spheres, they have a much more complete grasp of community development, and particularly through the [[Correcting Time]] and the Community Mission effort, their training is specific for your planet at this time, as it is specific for the other planets that came out of quarantine. There is much to do on all these planets, and there is a great deal to do on yours. Although your nation is prosperous, it has taken the ethos of the rugged [[individual]] to the far extremes where the individual is left alone to stand and to survive on their own without the supports of community. It also provides a very warped perspective of integration in your society, as there is an endemic selfishness, which is not to be admired, or encouraged. Yet we do not encourage individuals to become dependent upon social agencies for their support, but to become contributors in meaningful ways to their own life, and to the life and function and survival of others, becoming a sustaining influence in their own individual right in their community.

There is much to overcome, yet this rugged [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Individual#Recommended individualism] is also to be admired because it has created in many of you a sense of hope, of capability to move forward and to make a difference in a land of millions of individuals. Would it not be a very disparate situation if you felt you were incapable and could not make a contribution? In the future in an intentional community, each of you will know you have potential to make a tremendous impact upon your community, and especially upon the course of your life; that your life is intentional and so is your community, and that it is not required that you make a contribution to it, but that you become integrated into it; for the individual who does not, will stand apart and be alone. And as you know from your readings in [[The Urantia Book]], there is no existence apart from the social entity from which you come, for then you lose identity and the meaningfulness of your existence and the way of maximizing the potential that lies within you.
