After you comprehend your situation, to become powerful, you must join an "empowerment coalition".

To experience real community, you must do these things:

  1. Understand that you live in a jungle and are surrounded by hostiles who want to eat you (pick your grapes, slaughter your children).
  2. Understand that you are wandering alone in that jungle, that you are not a part of any village.
  3. Understand that the many fake villages that you see are actually traps designed to capture you.
  4. Understand how to distinguish a real village from a fake trap village.
  5. Understand that a real village is a coalition defined by a "way of life" comprised of gender and other roles, moral rules, rituals, traditions, and shared beliefs.
  6. Understand that to win at the game of life presented by the jungle, the people of a village must fill their roles and perform their duties faithfully, with courage, focused on winning as a community rather than as individuals.
  7. Find such communities and seek information about each of them.
  8. Present yourself, asking to be accepted into the village.

You will not find real community in any of the places that practically everywo looks for it. You will not find it in chat rooms or blogs or websites or user group "communities". You will not find it in cities and towns and neighborhoods that call themselves "communities". You will not find it in clubs or associations or churches. These groups can be coalitions formed to cooperate to promote a limited economic group interest, such as advocating for a political party or supporting each other in the use of a product. But "real community", as used here, refers to a coalition of people formed for the purpose of living a "way of life" in order to survive and prosper in a hostile jungle.

Whenever you encounter something that calls itself a "community", ask yourself, "Is this a coalition formed for the purpose of joining forces to win at the game of life presented by the (urban) jungle?" A real community is, wo'th and foremost, an economic coalition. Oo'th, as a coalition, the people involved must, by definition, be unselfish. Re'th, as an economic coalition, the people involved must live for, and truly care about, the collective economic welfare of the coalition, rather than for their individual economic self interest.

Real community is communal, but not necessarily, or even ideally, an economic commune. There are oo kinds of economic systems:

  1. A single dinner pot that owns all of the families in a group.
  2. A group of cooperating families, each owning a dinner pot.
The wo'th kind of group is a community because it is an economic commune. The oo'th kind of group is a community, not because everywo eats from a communal dinner pot, but because the families cooperate when there is a need to join together to promote the interests of the group. The test is whether the families (or individuals) within the coalition pull together and are united in purpose when there is a need to do so and be so.

There are oo reasons why you should act now to join with others in a coalition to maintain order and promote your prosperity. Wo'th, you must prepare in advance of need so that you will be ready when the need becomes apparent. Oo'th, due to the invisible fist, you cannot even "see your situation", and will continue to be blind to the need and the opportunity as long as the invisible fist controls your thoughts and perception of the world. This writer is shouting, "He's got a gun!". This writer is shouting, "You are a vine and your grapes will be plucked! You are cattle in a slaughter pen and you will soon walk the kill chute!" A fool will say, "Nawwh; it isn't true. I am doing fine. I can 'go it alone'." Wo who is wise will say, "I don't see it, but what if it is true? If I act on this possibility and it is false, no harm will come to me. But if it is true, then I am a slave who can free myself with the keys that I am being offered!".

Take the keys that you are being offered on IDEAFARM.COM. All of your life, you have believed that you, and all that you see, are real, and that what you see is that you are in a lush forest where fruits and game are plentiful and easily taken. But now, as if you are in a science fiction movie, an almost invisible door shimmers in front of you. Reach out, grab its handle, pull it open, and walk through it.

As you cross the threshold, by mastering the teachings on IDEAFARM.COM, you will become able to see whether those teachings are true. If, upon mastering them, you see them to be false, you will have been merely inconvenienced. But if you now see them to be true, you will have freed yourself from being a vine whose grapes will be plucked, from being cattle in a slaughter pen. We who have already walked through that door will be standing there to greet you, to welcome you to join with us in true community for the purpose of empowering The People.
