Being in a cabal of like-minded peers gives people courage. Yes. This is what I meant our community to be here in the virtual world of Second Life, and hopefully by extension into the real world. My intention for this group and this island has nothing to do directly with my classes. I do them because people want that, but the bigger picture has its own merit.
What is your goal for this group and land? Ah, no goal, a vision. It’s what guided my own searching. Something deep inside of me always told me there was something deeper behind all the magickal and metaphysical teachings, behind spiritual traditions and philosophies. So my vision for the island is that by bringing people of diverse but sympathetic views together, these deeper truths could emerge, become more clearly evident to all involved. That and offering spiritual support to seekers who might not be keen on just affiliating themselves with the first group that comes along. People get discouraged and try out various groups like they might clothes, until they often give up entirely. I hope the island and this group will help stop that from happening.
Now I don’t require that people share this vision, but I am curious to hear if people do.
Many groups have no land and no cohesive structure or events to get to know people. In my experience, a lot of groups run their functions like a spiritual rave, no real reason for what they are doing just a sense that it might be cool. I don’t do what I do because it is cool. I strongly suspect it isn’t cool at all, but my social awkwardness aside; I do what I do because it is my life. These thoughts and ideas are my real life.
Your thoughts are welcome. Be well friends.
