Creating Utopia:
Exploration and Implementation
It is interesting to observe the stigma against mentioning utopia, or the creation of any utopian project, when war, destruction, and the newest multi-billion dollar casino are accepted as part of our current reality. The fact is, however, that amazing things are being created and for any utopian vision to happen, all it needs is to be something that is accessible to everyone and accomplishable with resources available to average people. A viable society or civilization such as this should address human needs from a perspective of fulfilled living as well as sustainable food, energy, and construction practices to combine internal/emotional needs with external/survival needs and provide sustainability for the complete human experience structured for The Highest Good of All.
Utopian Visions of Past and Future
utopia, utopian visionsThe most commonly accepted visions of utopia are towering futuristic cities of glass, floating ocean biospheres of luxury and relaxation, or God-like civilizations orbiting in space; multi-billion or trillion dollar creations possible if major economic forces, or an organization of multiple governments, were to embrace them – but inaccessible to the common person. These visions have been around even prior to the existence of the proposed technology with legends of Atlantis and other evolved societies combined with romanticized versions of past great civilizations dining in grand halls of marble filled with richly dressed people eating food from around the world and reciting poetry to one another as artisans and entertainers fulfill their every cultural and entertainment need.
But what is possible for those who would like to create something utopian for themselves and their families, in this lifetime, and create it sustainably for The Highest Good of All and for future generations to enjoy as well? Some of these visions are so fantastical that if they were to be initiated right now, middle-aged people wouldn’t be around to see them completed; and even if they were, the cost to participate would be prohibitive for anyone not already a member of the economic elite. So what is the small-scale solution?
Utopian Models for Everyday People
Sustainable infrastructure as a foundation for financial sovereignty, and a social architecture of fulfilled living, personal growth, and contribution to the rest of the world, is something that is accessible to everyday people right now if they are willing to shift their mindset to a culture of cooperation, sharing, and living for The Highest Good of All. Concepts like growing 100% of your own food (much of the world doesn’t even have a grocery store), producing 100% of your energy through renewable sources, building your own earthen or other sustainable structure, communal approaches to recreation, education, and a social architecture of personal growth and people doing and sharing what they love most are happening already. What HASN’T happened is the combination of all of these things purposed to demonstrate large-scale sustainability and fulfilled living as self-sufficient teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities to be built all over the world.
Why Utopia Hasn’t Already Been Created
In our opinion, the reason a mainstream version of utopia hasn’t already been created can be attributed to two primary obstacles: lack of a shared vision and lack of a low-risk, high-reward example to follow. If a shared low-risk, high-reward example existed for people to follow, then groups of people would already be coming together to create evolving utopian visions.
The time has come to overcome these two obstacles and it is happening. All over the world right now people are organizing to create their own versions of sustainability and fulfilled living. Whereas the sustainable communities and communes of the past were mostly about escape from a system they didn’t like (hardly utopian), many of the communities forming today are about bringing diverse people together to celebrate and explore what we are capable of, a new way of living, and paving the path to something different for us all.
How the Evolving Consciousness of Humanity Plays its Part.
Utopia Expressed
Utopian People are thinking differently about themselves and their world and these new ideas about who we are and what we are capable of are spreading, thanks to the internet, in ways that weren’t even possible just 10 years ago! The socioeconomic realities of a culture founded on competition and profit, versus one founded on collaboration, cooperation, and abundance for all, are becoming clearer and people with the knowledge and desire to create something different, not just for themselves but for The Highest Good of All, are accessing each other through the internet and organizing for change.
