The Village of Light

The spirit of the village is clear and simple, the inhabitants acknowledge their own power and worth. They know that Life is in their hands, the world dependent upon their mind. The inhabitants are a varied lot of all sizes, all abilities and all ages. They are all equal and sovereign rulers of their of life, ready to share joyfully in the common game of life and to be challenged torealize all that we eventually can accomplish. They all know that life is an adventure, that they themselves are the main star of their own life, the centerpoint of their reality. They are ready for all playful joys, ready to examine together the peace that arises from their own heart. Love is their greatest law, joy their only rule and a big wide grin the best way to recognice them.

The village is in the middle of nature, where life can flow as freely and clearly as possible and fill the entire sphere of earth, air and water with its eternal vibration. The buildings of the village arise from the earth reaching out towards the peace of the heavens. They are simple and clear; made of wood,stone, glass and iron - natural elements in the houses of these benevolently sovereign beings. They are heated with wood and sun, they create their own electricity, and are autonomous like their inhabitants.There are all kinds of green fields and orchards around the village, the inhabitants grow most of their own food and drink, they cultivate their own vegetables, their milk and meat. The village is a part of the whole world. There are no borders, no fences, the village extends to the far reaches of the world.

The inhabitants of the village are free and independent, they have no debts nor loans, nothing to stop the from following their own joy towards new adventures of life. They are ready alone and together to reach towards and beyond the borders that the world sets for human beings. They are in their own power knowing their own limitations and ready to help each other in the opening and blooming that belongs to a human being. They know that each and everything is a part of the whole, they know that all life flows from the same eternal source, and they know their own place in the wholeness of life, their responsibility as the conscious former and creator of the miracle of life. They recognize the divinity within themselves and in all, they acknowledge the creator in their own deeds as well as in the deeds of their neighbours. They meet the shared divinity of all life both within and without themselves. The villagers are alive, carried by life itself - carrying it. They are enlighted by joy and governed by love, they are all in all, the earthly reflection of the immensity of love, the wonderful vibration of joy, the light.
