The Death Of Religion In The New Covenant!
The reason why the anti-Messianic religious (of any religion brand) avoid Community is because it is too close; there are too many people to be accountable to. Even in secular relationships, the striving to avoid kin comes from this desire to hide ones self from those, not like us, who would thus protest or not agree with our lifestyles, actions or habits.
People will hide from those that would, in their view, be judging in ones lifestyle choices. When a family member condemns another's lifestyle, for example, they keep a distance; will intentionally maintain a distant, celebratory only connection with them (e.g. holidays).
The idea that birds of a feather fly together is as active or relevant with genetic kin, as it is with the rest of the society, only with kin, we must play some semblance of unity, albeit shallow; limited to holidays and such. This is why the secular world is not close to one another, much beyond the superficial, political, financial or sexual motives that drive all anti-Messianic individuals.
The things that divide, are attenuated or hidden, especially with parents and/or siblings attempting to hide things from one another, knowing that they must physically live together. All atheistic, agnostic, and anti-Messianic people, absorb others relationally, whether they are aware of doing so or not.
Nevertheless, the anti-Messianic religious, love to exploit scripture to validate their corporeal needs and wants and secret desires. So did the privileged Pharisees of the first century. Indeed, the highly educated, socially respected, upwardly mobile, politically empowered, money loving, mammon dependent, power hungry, agnostic
Sadducees , challenged
Tekton Messiah Yeshua: But He replied:
You do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of Elohim. For in the resurrection, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of Elohim in Heaven! (Matt 22:29–30).
Messianic disciples try to avoid
Christianese terms such as
ministries, pastor, leader, or any other such level creating christianized mentalities that plague the end-time anti-Messianic religious, who blindly
monkey-see-monkey-do–copy-mimic-parrot their entire culture, but not Christ; they are culture-centric, not Christ-centric! They suffer from
Spiritual blindness, and thus unconscious to it. They copy christianese, but never learn the language of
Love !
All human hierarchy is ravenously demonic. In fact, these keywords are a tell, because they are outward fruit exposing individual or group motives. The word
ministries has become especially disturbing, here in the Eschaton, and when you hear/see it, take a few steps back. It used to mean something entirely different from what it means today; much like the word
gay once only meant being happy, excited, merry and carefree. It too quickly came to mean something else entirely. Words matter!
As a Messianic disciple, I am nonpolitical (
Apolitical ), just like my Master, Yeshua The Messiah, whom I Love, adore, worship and live for, because I have died for (
Gal 2 :20). For decades I have studied passionately and intently, His words and teachings, as well as His demonstrated lifestyle, in order to simulate, to the best of my abilities and within the timeline and culture I inhabit.
Messiah Yeshua is my Master, Lord, King, Boss, President, Judge, Rabbi, Priest, and only Leader. I am not ashamed (
Luke 9 :23–26) to call myself a Messianic disciple, and prefer it over any other title or designation (
Rom 1 & 5) found comfortable by most people, still trapped within the shoebox of blind
Enculturation .
Purchased Fellowship; Monetized Unity; Imitation Family; Fake Caring !
As such, I discourage people from participating in, or being yoked with, the atheistic world in general, especially within the new religious occult plaguing Earth: Politics, and its slutty spouse,
Mammon economics. If you are mammon rich, we will probably not get along, because people only hoard money for personal power. And the occult of politics is so real that some do not believe one can be apolitical.
But this is primarily because (and why) my Master avoided such worldly paradigms (
John 18 :36), opting instead to congregate with the poor, the lost, the blind, the sick, the ugly, the unpopular, the homeless, the unwanted, the untalented, the widows and orphans, the disenfranchised, or summarily; the lower
classes of society (
James 2 ). In like manner, I seek unity with those likeminded (
Phl 2 ).
Messiah Yeshua was invited by Pharisees (
Luke 7 & 14); in other words, He was not intentionally avoiding others, it is just that the atheistic masses (religious or not) are driven by evil desires (
John 3 :19–21) and until they want to know The Creator of all, YHVH, above all else, they will not have any true or lasting interest in following, unto death, this below average, brown skinned, homeless, itinerant, Jewish, Nazarene carpenter or
Tekton .
To a visually sighted person, a stick is just a stick, tossed aside and forgotten. But to the blind person, that walking stick is how they navigate through space; it is vital to those born eye blind. In the same way, materialism is vital to those who are Spiritually blind; it is their only way of navigating in this life. But to the Spiritually sighted, it is still just a stick (
John 12 ).
All radically transformed, Spiritually endowed, Heaven bound individuals, will live lifestyles much like the Amish do, except of course, without the authoritarian, hierarchical or patriarchal portions, inherited from the (Catholic; Orthodox; Protestant) COP Cultists.
The Amish are continuing in some traditions that Messiah Yeshua actually did not teach; however, their lifestyles of rejecting modernity and remaining simple, apolitical, conservative, hardworking and modest, are verily the traits of all Messianic disciples, male or female and of any ethnic background.
The designation of "Father" when referring to Elohim, has nothing to do with human gender (beyond relational correlation). "Father" was once used as a term of endearment; we all have biological fathers, and in the past – before the ravages of the Eschaton, prostituted and distorted everything – people associated their earthly father with positive characteristics (i.e. protection & provision); hence the association with our Father which art in Heaven.
And unfortunately but prophetically, they are even more relevant now; the agents of Satan (i.e.
christians and others) posing as Messianic disciples, now outnumber the Elect of YHVH by a billion to one (
Matt 10 :16). The disciples of Messiah Yeshua will eventually be persecuted by the christianized, during these, the predestined time of the Eschaton.
Messiah Yeshua made it clear that gender is only an earthly trait; a way of procreation, not domination; not a weapon to lord over someone (
Matt 19 ;
Matt 22 :28–30). Messianic disciples are not patriarchal, considering
biblical patriarchy to be a convolution, by prostituting scripture to justify lording over other humans; that itself is a symptom of demon oppression or worse. A kind of
Pauline Christianity is what male religionists conjured into what is today the COP Cultists: Christendom!
The Messiah Culture Within The Secular Culture!
All Spiritually metamorphosized, radically transformed, soul redeemed, Heaven bound, future resurrected Saints, as the daily dying servants of our Master and Lord, Messiah Yeshua (the Elect of YHVH); we have all, individually, been so profoundly and thoroughly humbled by this calling; by this honor and duty; that the very idea of lording anything, anywhere, anytime, over anyone, is simply not in our
Messiah shaped mind (
1Co 2 :11–16); no longer in our (now) Messianic DNA. To act humbly, or imply self humility, but then live arrogantly, is fruit, in and of itself.
The Indwelling Holy Spirit virtually overwhelms us; what remained our ego at the moment of our Salvation, is dealt a death knell: We become beauty for ashes; mere clay on the Potters wheel (
Isa 61 :3 & 64:8); we are rendered
egoless (not to be confused with
Carl Jung's ego death ).
Nevertheless, we still live on a planet that is overrun with the Faithless Loveless masses of humans being, and their numbers are reaching (yep) apocalyptic proportions.
Agrarianism is being replaced with urbanism by the
Monetizers at breakneck speed as we accelerate unto the end.
The Elect of YHVH are only interested in learning about the things created by YHVH, our Lord and Master and King. YHVH created the physical world; the natural world; the plant and animal world. Conversely, humans created the political, economic and religious worlds; everything within these manifestations of sin-evil is an affront unto Messiah Yeshua.
We disciples of Messiah Yeshua as the only future resurrected Saints of Adonai Elohim, live in the natural world, naturally; we can potentially live without money. Conversely,
the World live as dependents of other humans via money economics, and thus, suffer from the manifold stresses of
Mammon economics, and all the ills that befall such a lifestyle.
The (infinitesimal and inconspicuous) Elect of YHVH are all equal partakers in, and the blessed benefactors of, a Holy and royal Priesthood (
1Pe 2 ), with only One Lord, Leader and Authority. If you need to be a leader or a follower, you are still nowhere near the Cross, and we are surely on different paths. Narrow Way is difficult, but it is assuredly worth it.
Some fundamental differences should be presented upfront, so that the vast majority of people reading this can be appropriately offended and exit. All organized religions are operated by the
anti-Messiahs : Messiah Yeshua died on the Cross to destroy all organized religion and to expose these
dens of thieves as demonic at their root.
Every religion (and religion-business) on Earth forever, are demonic. Anyone who considers an eternally enduring fellowship of Love bonded
egalitarian believers in Messiah Yeshua, to be anything remotely like Sunday church "services" at a tax-exempt salary trough religion-business, may be in need of a hands on exorcism.
Still reading? Good! This is a lot to absorb in one read. To continue, this is a single page outreach; a notice on a virtual pin board, intended to locate others, fully dedicated to discipleship, and for the purpose of pure fellowship foremost: But this will also be an attempt at a Messiah-centric Intentional Community.
Satans Angry Defiant Rebellious Christianized Americans!
This has previously been attempted; posting at
IC.org and building a web presence, determined to locate other devout disciples of Messiah Yeshua here in the USA, ultimately nothing happened. It may never happen, but trying is going the second mile; it is a success in itself regardless of outcomes. Like my Master (
John 13 :13–17), I extend a hand of genuine fellowship, but only the Holy Spirit can compel another to take it.
Email correspondence grew to a few hundred people between 2004 to 2012, but most of them were perhaps (and do not like saying it, but) too
Americanized ; too monetized; too worldly indoctrinated; too indebted to
Mammon ; too long in the Gomorrah bathhouse (
Gen 19 :23–26;
Luke 17 ).
I could tell they (metaphorically) wanted to
flee to Zoar , knowing of the sociocultural darkness they were already deep within, but ultimately, they could not escape, because our geography does not alter our psychology. Navigating the evils within Satans monetary cultures is dangerous and difficult for all Messianic disciples, but the worldly learn to do it well.
Many were initially attracted to perhaps a romanticized ideal of living like the original disciples; living a true and genuine Messiah-centric existence; a first century modeled lifestyle; a genuine
Intentional Community indeed (
Acts 4 :32–35). Eventually however, worldliness pulled them back into business as usual, and I never heard from them again; the
parable of the sower all over again (
Matt 13 ).
The Internet was probably not going to yield, what many of us at the time, were hoping to yoke with; eternal family. But this is not to be critical of anyone (or the Web); it is just that verily, we earthlings are well into the Eschaton (the calm before the storm part), and also; that those driven deeper into a coma, just by living in the drip bag anesthesia of the U nMessianic S ystems of A dversarialism, just makes it too compromised, and probably for too long already.
Simply put, there are not too many Heaven dedicated people here, aside from perhaps, some from among the Amish or other more conservative
Anabaptist rooted groups, as well as some who attend the
Peace churches , as well as many other individuals and familial groups, sparsely spread out among the world, myself among them.
They (and I) are already living in some form of Messiah-centric lifestyle, be it a local fellowship or otherwise, but perhaps seek a more perfect union. All chosen ones will seek out, and hope for, a Messianic Community, whether one is found or not. This is because our deepest longing is not really for (or about) anything earthly; our deepest longing is for the return of The King!
The
Amish are still an outcropping of the COP Cultists; and thus a bit too legalistic, though I Love them anyway; I have friends among them; the same with Mennonites, tribal Natives, and certain Messianic groups as well. The now pandemic, sin of religion, grants far too much space for such things as bigotry, hierarchy, dominion, authoritarianism, legalism, money centrality, and social class; collected now in
social stratification .
But this is why Messiah Yeshua exposed the religionists as frauds; why the veil was rent in twain; to bare naked what was once the hidden things of organized religion. This is why Messiah Yeshua never stopped confronting and condemning the religionists, and thus why they wanted Him gone or dead.
Religion businesses are the breeding ground for Satan, who control and drive men by ego-pride-emotion, dragging god/bible along with them. Indeed, for anyone to abuse scripture, simply to lord anything over anyone; this is the covert workings of the
anti-Messiahs . People mock
YHVH (
Gal 6 :7–8) by pretending to have a personal relationship, that is verily nonexistent, with most merely displaying an award winning facade (
Matt 24 :22–25). Today there is little interest in such, because no one is searching for such; everyone here is consumed with the worldly consumerist and mammon driven lifestyle (
1Jo 2 :15–20).
Notwithstanding, I thought I would keep the door of fellowship open at all times (online), primarily because of the encouragement of some (here and abroad), years back and again recently, who was not able to do this because of living too far away, but still thought it was a great idea anyway.
In other words, soon after I let it go – the idea of a US based Messianic Intentional Community – I was contacted by some who encouraged me to keep the former website going. But it was closed, and now this one lone page, remains as summary, because frankly, I fear we are too far into the Eschaton to (metaphorically) assemble
Ekklesia in Koinonia, here in Gomorrah Metropolis; it is closing in on the time to (metaphorically) flee the region (
Luke 21 ), not build anew.
Living In Satans Culture!
Over the last two decades, there were hundreds of attempts to make meaningful contacts with others, all over the Internet, who claim to be (either) disciples of Messiah Yeshua, or even the generic term christian, but virtually all of them (with a few exceptions) just ignored or rejected an open hand of friendship. This is no coincidence; in fact, it is prophetic.
People experience emotional peeks, wherein their perception of their own devotion far exceeds the reality of their daily walk. They think they are more committed than anyone else, and are thus seeking others as devout as they are. But where the proverbial rubber meats the road, they exhibit nothing in their lifestyles that even simulates a Messianic discipleship; nothing of a daily trek on Narrow Way.
There is not one Heaven bound Love conquered disciple, on Earth forever, who would even theoretically consider, ignoring any other human being, who is trying to communicate with them, in any way or for any reason, much less demonstrate the Loveless indifference necessary to look upon that communication, directed personally at them, and then just dismiss it. And yet, that is how we disciples know our Master better, and all the losses that He too, endured in this life (
John 6 :66).
This is especially true from someone who is truly a Messianic disciple; we know that communication is one of the main pillars of Adonai Elohim. The
Messiah Scriptures was/is how YHVH communicated with us humans, before the Propitiation made it possible for YHVH to abide within us, as the
Temple of the living Elohim. But those who can end communicating, expose the fact that they do not really believe in an afterlife, or in YHVH, or in the Resurrection. This life is all they apparently care about.
Personally (as a disciple), I would not sleep well if I knew that someone, anyone, was trying to communicate with me (in any venue), and I just ignored them, as if that has no meaning at all: It is simply not in my (now) Messianic DNA. Candidly, a person would not only have to be Spiritually bankrupt, they would also have to be hardhearted, to do so. The Opposite Of Love Is Indifference
!!
The question then becomes: How is that possible? How can someone that you supposedly will be spending every second of eternity with, and, in a Love bond relationship that rivals the Father and the Son (
John 17 ), but who today, acts as if that person does not even exist? Simple! Such people are not the chosen; the called out ones; they are not the predestined; they are not disciples of Messiah Yeshua, destined for bodily resurrection and eternal Kingdom service. They are Matthew Seven Christians; self-deluded, lip serviced; Spiritually lost; Loveless.
When an individual truly believes in the Resurrection; when such a one knows by genuine Faith that this life is not all there is; that this life is but a millisecond inside a millennia, when contemplating our eternality; those (of us) individuals, live this life for the next. But for the atheistic and the anti-Messianic religious; this life is all there is or will be, and so for them, there is no immediate benefit for responding to an honest hand of Koinonia. Even if that contact initially seems negative to them.
Therefore, they casually ignore me (and others): And that is OK by me; I have no ego invested in this world or those within it. The Holy Spirit brings to us, the Love of YHVH; the Living Water & Bread of Life! And thus I say: True Love is demonstrated through the 3–C's: Compassion; Commitment; Communication! In fact, YHVH inspired people will write to all, as a demonstration of communication, because it is so vital to expressing Love, and why we have scripture. Communication is a major manifestation of
Love .
Am I just being emotionally impacted by being ignored? Well, no more than anyone would be if they attempted to communicate with their children or parent or spouse, and they simply ignored their very existence. Yes, it is disappointing for sure; however, I am not impacted psychologically.
I am complete in Him; because of the overflowing of the Indwelling Holy Spirit, my proverbial cup runneth over. I could live completely alone for decades without any human contact, and be quite fulfilled. But my Master, via the Indwelling Holy Spirit, compels me to reach out and make genuine human contacts with other seekers and disciples. Here I am!
It is a rather easy thing to see, once you know how and where to look. For just one example (among many), if you look throughout this website, you will notice links to well over 200 other websites, and most of them know that I link their sites at/to this one. Now, go to any of their sites, and what you will never see, is this site linked at their site.
Now, do I feel hurt or offended? No, otherwise I would not keep their links at this site. So why do they not reciprocate and link with this one? Simple! Because they may very well teach select truths, and I want to make sure that the portions of truth they teach is spread, but evidently, they are not in it for the same motives as I am; Love in unity, as summarized in
John Seventeen : or, Community (come unity come)!
Also, excessive self-promoting is a sign; and so is humbleness in personality alone; these are often a mask of pride, because true humility is a character trait, not a personality trait. Even self-deprecation is a personality trait, and not a sign of true humility. Only lifestyle choices display real humility.
True humility cannot exist anywhere but under the Messianic Cross, but humiliation is anywhere and everywhere. Many people suffer humiliation, and can even be humbled by it, as well as other trials of this life. But defeat from humiliation or belittlement does not produce true humility; if fact it often emboldens people to act out in ways that are anything but Messianic.
But all this typically comes from those who think of themselves as the gifted teachers of all things YHVH (or God/god/g-d) from among all of us lesser gifted, mere carpenters and fishermen and farmers (
Matt 23 :1–12;
James 3 :1); yet again, those driven by pride-ego-emotion, and not Love-wisdom-humility.
I serve Messiah Yeshua, not my dollars, nor my pride-ego-emotion. What other people do, or not do, I have zero control over, and, I do not want such control. Therefore, I will not tell them to reciprocate; I want the Holy Spirit to move them to do so, not me. The fruit of the Indwelling Holy Spirit is Love; from Love comes all other Messiah copying traits and lifestyles and actions. And to be honest, most people are motivated by either money or ego, and thus, such reciprocation will not feed either.
ISO Living Disciples of Messiah Yeshua!
I am
not seeking a followship; I am
not a leader and I am
not seeking one! If you are struggling with authoritarianism, or hierarchy, landlordism or dominion (i.e. human lordship), I will lay hands on you (
Mark 16 :17–18), or counsel you, disciple you and pray for you, but I cannot yoke with you. I am a brother and friend (
John 15 :10–15), and do not believe in
hierarchy in any form, not even nominally. I serve only One Master: Messiah Yeshua (
1Co 1 :10–18).
Consequently, I do not like money, and consider money economics, and the
Mammon Mentality in general, to be too exploitative; too culturally corrosive, and (candidly), Spiritually evil (
Matt 6 :19–24;
Luke 16 :13–15;
John 3 :19–21). I have taken Spiritual vows of
Apostolic poverty , as well as obedience and fidelity, but
only unto YHVH (
Gal 1 :1–5). Read the page titled
Monetizers for more graphic details.
Like my Master, I am non-religious and not patriarchal, believing that Messiah Yeshua considered women as equals in every way. In other words, I am not a Christian, nor am I trapped in the idolatry of
Bibliolatry . I am a
New Covenant Messianic disciple, with the gospel
Sermon on the Mount as the core for life and paradigm of lifestyle.
Thus, I aspire to no human created church
Creed . Pauline christianity or biblical religianity (or just Christianity in general), maintains hierarchy, bigotry, leaderism, human slavery, subjugation, and general dominionship; all of which are demonic traits. Anyone near to the Messianic Cross see only the most evil being they will ever get near to in this life, in the mirror;
Judging another will not be possible.
Most humans are driven by the fear of death, not the Love of Adonai: We, as the Elect of YHVH, understand this reality, and we pray compassionately for, and attempt to demonstrate
the Way via our lifestyles, hoping that the Holy Spirit in the world (not to be confused with the Indwelling Holy Spirit), can drive them closer unto YHVH, via our witness light or lifestyle evangelism (
Matt 5 :13–16). But The Master warned us also, about the inherent dangers of lingering too long among the atheistic, and especially among the anti-Messianic religious (
Matt 10 :16;
Acts 20 :25–30); doing so got Him Crucified.
But the fear of death is what drives the masses, thus explaining why the messages of a rapture rescue, or the prepper paranoia (and so on), are so pervasive in mostly western cultures. This is because most of the westernized-monetized-christianized-industrialized masses, are money dependents, who could not survive without Satans monetary systems, which clearly, obviously, and measurably, represent the root of all evil, of all kinds.
And while all actual Spiritually transformed individuals could live a lifetime without any money (we would build, garden, farm, fish, grow, raise, and so on, just like most of humanity did for most of human time), the mammon servants cannot and will not; therefore, they will prefer to kill and/or steal and take the fruits of
Labor .
They are willing to steal, kill, destroy, and lie, just like their true master (
John 8 :44–45 & 10:9–10), just to extend their earthly lives for a few more years, even though ultimately, we all die anyway. This Life Is Not Even About This Life
!! (
Luke 12 ). However, to the eternally lost, this life is all they will have, and deep deep down inside, they know it. That cold reality exposes itself in lifestyle choices: The tree is indeed, known by the fruit it bears.
Cult of Coercion!
There will not be one person (from Earth) in the Kingdom of Heaven, who arrived by human imposed guilt or shame, condemnation or coercion (
Romans 8 ). Trying to impose religious rules, as righteous as they may appear on the (whitewashed) surface, upon a volition created person, will bear no fruit, and could even backfire. The masses are dedicated to the
Darkness they were already in (
John 3 :16–21), and no amount of coercive sales pitches can/will deliver them from it.
The Gospels (and Acts) are first because they are the core and the sum; everything thereafter, was merely what happened because of it, and thus, no doctrines or directives should be spun from them. The
Tanakh was a preface and prequel of things to come: Messiah Yeshua! Propitiation! The Indwelling (of the) Holy Spirit!
If you arrived here, and you are in a hurry to take a step in another direction in this life, I doubt you will see this through; that has been evident so far anyway. I commend your initiative; however, I assume this is a major step for you, worthy of much research time, reading, and some prayer time, before proceeding.
People can email anytime; I/we seek a unity with those we truly believe we will be spending eternity with (
John 17 ), and so there is little that could occur here on Earth that would be a barrier to that reality. Oneness does not require proximity, and networking is better than nothing, but communal living is best (
2Co 6 :14–18;
Rom 12 :1–2).
I am a retired from General Contractor by business, and by trade I am a master carpenter, a journey electrician, and an apprentice plumber. As a businessman I would never do any work of any kind, on anyone's property, without (yep) a contract. No materials delivered, no labor, no nothing. And even after the contract signing, I would require a good faith money deposit. I never cheated anyone (I am a working man after all), and I always fulfilled my end of the contract, and too often, I did extras beyond it.
The contract was/is needed because in the USA (and most other Euro colonized places), the land owner or deed holder, basically owned all that took place on that title designated locale. If I did anything therein and the owner decided not to pay me for the labor and/or materials, there was not much I could do from a legal standpoint without the contract.
This same issue is true for all properties: The only one that would benefit from any work or improvements, is the deed holder on record. It does not matter what is verbally promised or what is implied; what is on the legal documents, be it the contract or the deed, is all that matters.
Therefore, to get someone to come onto the deed holders property, and do any kind of real improvements, is basically getting free work done on that individual's (or trust's) property, wherein only the deed holder benefits monetarily. That's why contractors have contracts!
This is the conundrum of Intentional Community situations in most of the westernized world, where money is god and everything and everyone else, comes in second (or last?) to its service and devotion! Promises aside, only what is legal can be held or accounted for, legally.
What is happening in the US Intentional Community Industry therefore, is little more than profit directed real estate transactions, masquerading in the terminology of Intentional Community, and nowadays, seeing real estate agents use social media and Intentional Community websites to market properties, is no longer even hidden from plain view, like it was a few decades ago.
Individual land or deed holders, are using the Intentional Community paradigm, basically to get others to come onto their property's, and invest in/with monies and/or materials and/or labors, are either ignorant of any of these, or they know full well just what they are doing; I will assume they know.
There are far too many Americans who will use their professed christian status to exploit others (e.g. politicians); thus, I am leery whenever I hear someone touting such a status. It is also why I avoid their terminologies (christianese) and their
Temple defying sedentary lifestyles of
Labor avoiding, free money collection stations.
You always hear Americans say: I know my rights! But you almost never hear an American say: I know my responsibilities and obligations! Morris Fiorina: Stanford University

This is a valid business model that could not actually
do business in the USA, because of landlordism, and thus because of zoning laws and covenants. This is because (almost) no one "owns" home here on this continent, and thus, the subsequent economic trials that are befalling us (as a species) are well pronounced; poverty and the
Homeless epidemic are just a few of the larger proofs. Allow a story and an elaboration of the evidence.
I built homes for a living. Early on, as a home building contractor, we would build in new cut neighborhoods, constructing multiple houses even on the same block. Once, a real estate agent was showing the house we built across the one we was building. After a sale, the sales person made sure to walk onto our construction site to boast that they just made more money on that home in an hour, than all of us did building it, with their last word: Suckers!
Here, where monetary exploitation and the parasitic and predatory economics of the hands-in-the-pie takers of free money, is not only legal, it is praised. For those of us who bring about the needed things in this world (food, shelter, etc.); we are considered fools and suckers for the sweat labor these things require. With money economics, all one needs to do is get the money, and then they can passively buy the labor, without breaking a sweat of the brow, as Temple defying sedentaries.
But this was a lesson moment: The void of integrity on display in front of our job site, was not just pathetic and sad, it was expositional. The countenance of that hands-in-the-pie taker, never left me. With their mouth they were boasting, but with their body language, the guilt-shame-condemnation was on full display.
It is the first time I remember seeing
cognitive dissonance in action. This person did not know us, so why not just get in the car, post sale, and leave? Why cross the street to make this announcement? A twenties Atheist, I knew I was experiencing something unique, but at the time unaware I was witnessing demon possession; one compelled to be who they were!
The true cost of a home is rather nominal. I have built fully contained homes (also called tiny homes or compact homes or cabins) for about 2% of what a conventional homes cost. The example given here exposes this plight; way too many people who have nothing whatsoever to do with the actual constructing of a modest home, (again & again) have their hands in the proverbial pie of the working class, jacking up the price or cost, sometimes 300 fold. Of course, in a just world, no one would make a dollar on homes except the workmen, not even a tax collector.
Homes would not be inflated in cost, which is yet another trickery by the hands-in-the-pie capitalists of Satans economic paradigms here on Earth (e.g. profiteering & inflationary economics). While this is clearly immoral, it is not illegal in the Satan designed capitalistic economic paradigm, driven by
Mammon via the anti-Messianic
Monetizers . As with anything that ages, homes would never increase in value, but would decrease, but in direct proportion to their condition, or the life/use left in them. The better designed and built units would hold their value longer.
Monk Eco Shelters DBA would build only in locations where motor vehicles are prohibited, thus eliminating the need for a car infrastructure. The
Car Cult alone, is a monstrous consumer of natural resources, and that is without factoring in the actual cars themselves.
The clearing of land, the asphalt and concrete, the staggering amounts of fossil fuels to produce and transport those raw materials, is just the beginning of this nightmarish fiasco. After the roads are completed, there is forever maintenance, and repairs, and snow removal. And then there are the bridges; need I go on?
As self contained
biodegradable and
biocompatible units, there would be no need for a utility infrastructure either. Everything with rare exception would be composted, reused, and recycled. There would be no trash service needed.
All sustainable lifestyle paradigms are repeatable and timeless; people could live this way forever, with no negative effects on the host planet. Indeed, stewardship is mostly about life extension methodologies; acts proven to extend the life of a planet. I call it the Planet Life Extension Program!
All of this collective disruption requires the clearing of land that is too often
living forests ; to bulldoze the nature of YHVH (think garden of Eden), completely obliterating all the lifeforms that occupied that space, for the prior sum of Earth time. Such acts are (among such others), the sin-evil that will be a small part of the hellish content that the
Darkness destined masses will have to regurgitate a hundred billion times over.
As with this photo example, keeping the living unit well off the ground on piers (and even higher than this one), will allow nature to take its course under and around it, allowing wildlife to traverse under it unimpeded, and reduce flooding in risk zones. Height provides a better view! But it does not need to be large: Life is to be lived outdoors!
An
IC Q&A was written and posted online, well before
Social Media existed, but since most emails about a Messianic Intentional Community in the USA, were mostly questions pertaining to theology and lifestyle models, such questions exposed the
Americanization that deeply impacts almost everyone, and only a few here will ever transcend it all to become
disenculturated via the auspices of the Indwelling Holy Spirit.
If you are already a Messianic disciple, then there is not much I could communicate that
Ruach HaKodesh will not expose you to, sooner or later, if not already; and conversely, if you are not a Messianic disciple, then the Indwelling Holy Spirit, via the mouthpiece any Messianic disciple, likely cannot communicate to you, anything at all. Human pride-ego-emotion, via the superpower of volition, is The Force on Earth.
In Closing!
As a
FOSS techie (that is, free tech), I recommend using web hosts like
Neocities , and/or
Blogger , and/or
WordPress ; the private search engines of
DuckDuckGo ,
Brave Search ,
StartPage , and
Mojeek , and the web browsers,
Brave &
Firefox , available for tablets & phones, which can have the critically important
uBlock Origin Extension .
And by all means, avoid the most
security intrusive and narcissistic site on the entire Web, globally and forever,
Facebook , which verily, only exposes the
monkey-see-monkey-do–copy-mimic-parrot manifestation of blind followship; that sure
mark of the beast kind of readiness to follow Satan into The Great Lake (
Rev 19 :20 & 20:10–15 & 21:8). This is why
Social Media is an open display of satanic narcissism; the selfie generations prophesied of/in the Eschaton.
While
keeping up with the Joneses is utterly horrifying to all truly Spiritually transformed, Heaven bound, future resurrected Saints, living as (current or soon to be) Messianic disciples; it is the very mentality and daily lifestyle choice of the masses, fast tracking the superhighway called Broadway (
Matt 7 :13–14), rushing into the
Darkness , and they look forward to repeating this drone lifestyle, again tomorrow. Fascinating! Horrifying! Prophesied!
Unfortunately, there are no (
Acts 1–5 level) Messianic Intentional Communities on North America (at least publicly known of), and there may never be, due to the Eschaton, and due to the fact that the
Mammon serving (Satan serving) capitalist
anti-Messiahs , were the only Europeanized people to come here, and since very few people born in the Americas over the past 2 dozen decades, could even conceptualize such an existence, it is fitting for a living Messianic disciple, familiar with living here, to describe it for the curious.
Summarized in a paragraph, demons work in the hearts of people in manifold ways; primarily to exploit ones pride-ego-emotion. All wealth hunger is just an outward expression of no self esteem, which (itself) is an exhibition of Spiritual emptiness. Demons exploit this weakness in humans, driving this world via its economic (and overall sociocultural) systems that are blindly accepted by the next generation of humans. Money wealth provides a temporary boost in self esteem, but no one under the Messianic Cross need this.
It is somewhat analogous to a first century
Essene attempting to explain to a twenty first century consumerist capitalist christianized American (from where I ascended), what it is like to be a living Messianic disciple! A new book (or web page), currently being considered, would be titled something like: What a Commune (Community) of Messianic Disciples Would Be Like! Or: From Hypothetical To A Literal Messianic USA Commune! Or: Monastery of Messianic Celibates! Stay tuned, Lord willing (
James 4 :13–16).
