Student: I can certainly see a flow chart of that nature; I used that frequently in projects. My first inclination would be, from a personal nature, to start with time zero being "now," looking at all those aspects, but then from your further comments, it seems that there was real value in starting with the birth, so that you identify all of the agencies that you might neglect, starting at a later phase in life. (Yes) And so I see that, obviously, it does have a bearing.

Rayson: The benefit of beginning from the immediate time before procreation occurs is to identify the agencies that will be needed and necessary to support the care and development of the individual’s potential as they age. Doing so, you will identify agencies, organizations, and bodies of service that even now do not exist. And so, the next step is as you see, is to then start from time zero now, to identify those agencies which can be integrated immediately into an intentional community, and then to develop new agencies to fill in the gaps where those do not exist at this time. Other comments?

Student: In trying to visualize the communities, how large are you seeing them? I’m trying to visualize if we are talking about small neighborhoods or whether you are talking multiple townships. Can you clarify that?

Rayson: Certainly. In the beginning, you will need a prototype to begin and there already exist some prototype communities in the world. Most are not complete and most do not have in existence the spectrum of agencies and services necessary to serve individual’s growth, which also gives meaningful employment to those who live there. In the beginning, we are talking about a community that is perhaps 500 to 1000 individuals. But eventually, as your society grows and matures and sees the benefit of these, there will also be a maximum or optimum size of community, which in true reality would be groupings, constellations of communities within a larger— I would not call it metropolitan or urban development— as much as a cohesive, integrated, larger mega-community of perhaps half a million people. This would be the maximum size to give the quality of life that is necessary, and also provide the full spectrum of services that individuals would need, which would not be provided for in the smaller communities in which they live. For smaller communities there is no arbitrary size other than it being a functionally sized organization and grouping of families and neighborhoods sufficient to provide the services necessary to fulfill the philosophy and mission of the community.

But would it take one person per agency? Perhaps so. One person, who may work in a satellite office, coordinated by a more centralized office. If you were thinking of a storeowner, let’s say you were having gas stations, how many gas stations would you need for a given community? Depends on the number of cars and the traffic flow. How many small neighborhood pizza parlors would you need, or grocery stores? So the services that are provided in an intentional community are very similarly devised and developed and put in place. Depends on the service need. How many schools, for instance, could one community nurse serve? Perhaps you would need one nurse per school, perhaps two. Perhaps they would have other capacities besides physical well being, but emotional well being as well, and so on.

I wish you to think upon these issues in the next two weeks, and raise questions in your mind, speak to us during these two weeks, as you have opportunity to, and share your thoughts with us.

This is a large project and can only be completed with your participation and that of others in the future. We are surely focused upon our work and these activities, as we know what is and will come into existence eventually. We do not know when, but we know it will, as there are only certain social constructs of community that can survive, and others will self-destruct. It is a matter of finding what works, and assists the survival of individuals and community, and replicating those issues, those factors, and discarding those that do not contribute to the survival of all and to the individual. As time passes, there will be less and less exploration into new areas, as those areas have been explored and proven to work or not. This is not a decades-level of issue, but a centuries-level of activity and work. We are here to guide you in this generation and all generations to come. Your world is still a "frontier world" in many ways and has so many rough edges to it …that the finished edges are few and far between. They must begin linking together so that your sphere of humanity becomes a shining sphere of consciousness, of right thinking and behaving: A wonderful place to live, an exciting place to grow in your soul, a wonderful place to become more like your Creator, Michael, and the wonderful influence of his compassionate partner, Nebadonia.
