Welcome to the Community Zone, where IDEALS from the other Zones manifest into experiential reality.
Community is where I experience We.
Community is the harmony—or the chaos—resulting from the collective consciousness, thoughts, and actions of each individual.
I and WE reap what I and WE each sow and cultivate.

Introduction: The Nature of Community
Community mirrors collective consciousness.
Its state—harmonious or chaotic—emerges from the combined thoughts, feelings, and actions of individuals.
As each person contributes awareness and intent, we co-create the social atmosphere in which we live.
Expanding Perspectives and Better Viewpoints
One of the quickest ways to escape a personal Current View of a Situation (CVS) is to ask another thinker for their point of view.
Since no two human brains are identical, each person offers a valid yet different CVS.
Their CVS might be your Better Viewpoint (BVS).
Ask partners, children, customers, critics, experts, even perceived enemies.
Each perspective expands understanding and reveals fresh pathways to harmony.
“Community begins where conversation deepens curiosity.” — Liberty Zone Cafe
Family as the Foundation of Society
Community begins within the family.
Co-operating families form neighborhoods; harmonized neighborhoods evolve into civilized societies.
When aligned with the Universe’s plan for paradise here and now, humanity enjoys the benefits of that excellence.
As the Family goes, so goes the Society.
I AM WHAT I THINK ABOUT—thus WHAT must I think about to have a Perfect Family and a Perfect Society?
Creating a Perfect Society
What would a Perfect Society look like?
Create a living list of words and phrases describing that vision.
Carry it, expand it, share it, and note others’ insights.
“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment to improve the world.”
— Anne Frank, 1952
Every improvement begins with thought, and every thought sets a trajectory for action.
Improving the World Through Excellence
We uplift the world through self and community pride in excellence—each of us doing our best.
Ask: On what is my consciousness focused right now?
Be candid about the benefits and harms within every system.
Honesty may challenge comfort, but it prevents repetition of error.
Honesty is the smart policy. It frees us to evolve.
Community Respect and Self-Empowerment
By combining respect for community with responsibility for choices, mistrust in our own creative power dissolves.
Sustainable lifestyle development opens entrepreneurial opportunities while reminding us that “being first” can cause distress.
True progress explores equitable systems that reward value without harm.
Equitable Systems and Social Evolution
Perfect systems may appear when individuals adopt an honest-evaluation consciousness focused on two questions:
- WHAT situations and problems harm me and my community?
- HOW can I help manifest solutions?
These inquiries awaken both individual and collective wisdom.
Paradigms of Perfection and Creation Power Wisdom
What components are required for a consciousness, lifestyle, home, and community of excellence capable of manifesting a contextual paradise?
While some claim perfection is unreachable, picturing it guides evolution.
Visual paradigms—models of excellence—help the brain see Paradisiacal Patterns.
Each human recognizes quality.
Perfection and Paradise are both Process and Destination.
Only after a destination is known can the safest route be planned and traveled.
Reflectivity and Human Consciousness
WHEN during our formative years we are EXPOSED TO models that set EXPECTATIONS and RESPONSIBILITIES for developing our potential, THEN our thoughts and actions create life-enhancing technologies and services instead of war, disease, and greed.
WHEN each person IS EXPECTED and HELD ACCOUNTABLE to develop full potential, THEN we desire and do the work required to acquire Creation Power Wisdom.
WHEN from birth we ARE EXPECTED TO HAVE PRIDE in self and surroundings and TO PRACTICE EXCELLENCE in self-care, home, and community, THEN we protect and cherish life and environment.
Reflectivity means that what is perceived as possible can evolve from wish to desire to potential to actuality through action.
Ask: WHAT brain software am I using?
The brain functions only within its programming parameters.
The highest level of Creation Power Wisdom involves universal reflectivity—the capacity to see, sense, and know across the universe and focus that knowledge anywhere.
Each human possesses this potential.
Whether it develops depends on many factors, as discussed in the Liberty Zone Cafe.
(Urantia Papers p. 105)
Community Development and Individual Rights
Advantages and disadvantages within communities help explain why human beliefs and philosophies diversify.
History shows many have vested interests in doing harm.
Harm, like a virus, survives only when victims enable it.
Ask: What harms do I excuse rather than correct?
Without NO HARM Excellence, it is easy to say “It’s just the way it is.”
But conscience demands better.
Creation Power Wisdom knows the current best can always improve.
In Paradise, there is no boredom—our meaningful work is never done.
Teamwork vs Gangsterism
Success in building a perfect society depends on understanding the difference between gangsterism and teamwork.
Gang members obey leaders or creeds regardless of harm.
Teamwork thrives on cooperation that respects and protects individual rights and responsibilities.
As mature libertarianism develops, genuine community and mutual admiration replace self-centered isolation.
“Village” can stand in place of “community,” reminding us that cooperation need not mean collectivism.
Change often feels uneasy because emotion clings to the current way it is.
To ease discomfort while honoring individual intelligence, design your own Model for Paradise.
“Man’s life, as required by his nature, is not the life of a mindless brute, of a looting thug or a mooching mystic, but the life of a thinking being — not life by means of force or fraud, but LIFE BY MEANS OF ACHIEVEMENT.”
— John Galt, Atlas Shrugged
Achievement is the compass for communities of excellence.
Ask: WHO fears my reasoning? WHO fears my success? WHO loses power if poverty and war end?
The pursuit of happiness that harms no one radiates blessings through society.
Paradise Building and Practical Planning
The connecting project designed to link both cyberspace and physical communities is Co-opWorld — a system for Value-Productive Solutions and Unlimited Success by Association.
Of all the books on this theme, Healing Our World by Dr. Mary Ruwart stands out for restoring common sense.
It is freely available online.
“Mary Ruwart has written what may be the most important book of this decade.
It challenges everything you think you know about growth and prosperity as a nation of individuals.”
— Joseph Terrano, Visions Magazine
Ruwart demonstrates how to move beyond win-lose thinking by applying win-win principles that work personally and socially.
War and poverty come not from “selfish others” but from our own reactions.
To improve the world, improve the self.
Love, Consciousness and Creation Power Wisdom
The Internet gives humanity a tool for building a Healthy Global Village through honest communication, factual learning, and MasterMind Team Building.
Virtual experimentation allows safe testing of ideas before applying them in daily life.
Like a lake refreshed by clear water, new ideas wash away pollution.
By focusing attention on Paradise Creating, we shape reality to match that vision.
It is humanity’s task to extract what works, ignore what doesn’t, and build the new rather than fight the old.
Obsolete systems fade when no one supports them.
Frederick Mann, founder of the Build Freedom project, wrote:
“The more socially functional we become, and the less we suffer from cultural delusion, the better our chances of actually creating a better world.”
The NeoTech Writings, School of Thinking Courses, and Urantia Papers expose taboos blocking Paradise on Earth and reveal its essential components.
First among them is WILLINGNESS — the readiness to evaluate all information honestly and without attachment.
Urantia Insights: The Age of Light and Life
The threads of Paradise on Earth are hidden within many sources; Paradise Builders must gather them.
When exploring the Urantia Papers, start at urantia.org with “Age of Light and Life.”
Paper 49 – line 153: “The final planetary age — evolutionary utopia — the age of light and life.”
Paper 55 – line 27: “The age of light and life is the final evolutionary attainment of a world of time and space.”
During this stage, one language, one faith, and one race predominate; yet imperfection remains, keeping progress alive.
Economics of Evolutionary Utopia
Each adult contributes ten percent of income:
- 3 % for Truth — science, education, philosophy
- 3 % for Beauty — play, art, social leisure
- 3 % for Goodness — altruism, religion, service
- 1 % for Insurance — accident and age protection
Resources are community property; highest honor is the Order of Supreme Service.
Men and women share equally in leadership, teaching, and justice.
Children, close in age, learn through healthy competition in mastering Truth, Beauty, and Goodness.
“Having started out on the way of life everlasting… do not fear the dangers of forgetfulness.
In every dark hour the Spirit of Truth will speak, saying, ‘This is the way.’” — Urantia Papers 383:1
Lessons from History and Conflict
“Unless the Foundation conducts itself with wisdom, it may breed dissension… There is no place in URANTIA Foundation for naïveté or proprietary feeling toward the Papers.”
— William S. Sadler Jr., 1958
Even seekers of truth can divide.
Recognizing causes of conflict helps prevent repetition.
Progress demands learning from history rather than reliving it.
The Teachings of Jesus and Unselfish Service
Urantia Papers 2089: “Jesus challenged followers not only to believe what he believed, but to believe AS he believed. ‘Follow me.’”
To follow Jesus is to live his faith in unselfish service.
Urantia Papers 2090: “Of all human knowledge, none is greater than to know the religious life OF Jesus and how he lived it.”
Most faiths speak about Jesus; few live as he did — through active love:
1 Corinthians 13: Love is patient, kind, truthful, protective, trusting, hopeful, and enduring.
Hard Times and the Power of Love
David Icke writes:
“None of us are permanently damaged. No matter what has happened, there is always a way to heal and grow.
Within the flame of love nothing else exists. Negativity cannot survive in the light of Love.”
Love is not sentiment; it is conscious action.
Let love guide your first thought in the morning and your last at night until it overflows into the world.
Truth is Love in motion.
Global Paradigms and Co-operative Entrepreneurship
Another approach to global community creation comes from John M. Bunzl, author of The Simultaneous Policy. His work explores how nations can act together to resolve global problems without falling into the trap of competition.
Before drawing conclusions, study both Bunzl’s and Ruwart’s books completely. Learn how to communicate honestly and lovingly, remembering the lessons of childhood collaboration.
If humanity truly desires paradise, each of us must develop the attitudes and skills required to live within diversity.
Paradise might be entirely different from any paradigm we’ve known. Concepts, like energy, can be re-formed to create desired results. Humanity possesses Free Will and Consciousness for a reason — not to use them blindly but to evaluate information and visualize consequences.
Community provides a vast mix of materials for building new concepts. Once we commit to a process, the universe supplies what is needed. “Paradise building” follows the same logic as any sustainable construction project: envision, plan, and experiment consciously.
The tension between co-operative entrepreneurship and regulated commerce illustrates the challenge. Both sound logical, yet we must evaluate which combination best manifests peace and prosperity.
History proved that rigid collectivism stifles value-productive outcomes. Beyond the family unit, external control quickly becomes destructive.
Thus the main skill every individual must develop is value-productive self-government.
The more internal discipline we exercise, the less external control is required.
Open dialogue and honest evaluation reveal the possibilities for manifesting Paradise on Earth.
Love, Consciousness and Social Evolution
Consider Japan after World War II. Forbidden to maintain a military, the nation redirected its attention to peaceful innovation.
While others invested in weapons, Japan invested in mind and method — precision, teamwork, and science.
Their co-operation and discipline reshaped global industry.
American corporations ignored Dr. W. Edwards Deming’s principles of quality and continuous improvement; Japan embraced them. The results are self-evident.
Will we ignore today’s value-productive ideas in the same way?
The Advocates for Self-Government and thinkers such as Michael Cloud emphasize personal responsibility as the foundation of freedom. Their work belongs in every personal library.
Paradise as Model and Mission
The vision of paradise often resembles lush tropical beauty — peace, harmony, and abundance. Tahiti in French Polynesia offers a living metaphor. Its native fruit, Morinda citrifolia (noni), is prized as the “Elixir Vitae.” Modern science rediscovered it, launching a mission that unites health, entrepreneurship, and community.
Understanding such missions shows how reality can be reshaped toward sustainable well-being. These projects integrate health, prosperity, and spiritual purpose.
Since individual actions determine collective conditions, improvement begins within the self — our thoughts, beliefs, and choices.
Each of us must examine personal motives and assumptions.
When encountering agreement or disagreement, ask: Why?
Is it reasoned insight or conditioned reflex?
Conscious evaluation keeps humanity aligned with truth and guards against illusion.
Love — agapē, active goodwill — remains the foundation of every value-productive community.
Love is patient.
Love is kind.
Love rejoices with truth.
Love always protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres.
— 1 Corinthians 13
Across science, philosophy, and spirituality, consciousness emerges as the universe’s unifying force.
Experiments show that intention influences outcomes; therefore motivation matters.
The more accurately we think, the more harmoniously we create.
A lack of understanding or experience of love underlies much social dysfunction.
Love inspires honest communication, detachment from prejudice, and enduring relationships.
Learning to manifest consciousness and Creation Power Wisdom defines our Ascension Career.
Whatever name we give this power, our choices of belief and action shape reality.
Each moment grants the opportunity to make ever-improving choices — or to remain unchanged.
The choice is ours.
Why have choices not improved consistently? Because manifesting excellence has seldom been politically or personally expedient.
Accuracy has been undervalued, comfort over-rewarded.
To change this, attach both monetary and emotional reward to excellence instead of mediocrity.
Education for Excellence and Paradise Projects
Our individual and collective choices manifest the conditions we experience.
To guide those choices toward higher ideals, we need a Shared Vision — a model grounded in reality yet aimed at perfection.
WILL YOU HELP create EXCELLENCE?
Projects described in the Financial Security Zone demonstrate how quickly high ideals can shift paradigms and manifest excellence across life.
Tolerance and open-mindedness are essential, especially amid diversity.
Harmonic unity in cooperative improvement teams is the goal.
When we combine the best from each participant, the dream of perfection begins to manifest.
Urantia Paper 48: “The acts of today are the destiny of tomorrow. Knowledge is possessed only by sharing; it is safeguarded by wisdom and socialized by love. Progress demands development of individuality; mediocrity seeks perpetuation in standardization… There are no royal roads, short cuts, or easy paths to Paradise.”
To eliminate destructive habits — procrastination, insincerity, greed, avoidance — communities can form Neighborhood Charter Schools or Educare Cooperatives, teaching arts and skills such as:
- Thinking
- Feeling
- Doing
- Ethics
- Administration
- Social Adjustment
- Philosophy
- Divinity
- Pure Spirituality
These Educare Projects aim to cultivate traits that sustain Paradise on Earth.
They represent a major leap forward for spreading Truth, Beauty, and Goodness worldwide.
The Liberty Crusade coordinates these efforts, gathering accurate facts and methods for transforming every sphere of life.
Mapping the Future of Hope
Solutions Unlimited and The Miracle of America envision a future where no one is free or safe until everyone is.
Freedom for all is the only lasting security.
This site — still under construction — reflects that dream.
Remember why it is called the American Dream: people from every continent have come seeking liberty and opportunity.
That dream is global.
You are invited to share ideas, links, and insights that expand this vision of Paradise on Earth.
Among those actively cultivating tolerance and improvement are readers of the 196 Urantia Papers, which integrate science, religion, and philosophy into a unified understanding of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness.
These writings inspire ever-expanding tolerance and improvement and are linked for your own exploration.
EXPLORE and draw your conclusions from firsthand experience.
Silver Genie and other digital projects extend this mission online, encouraging visitors to “Adopt-a-Genie” and contribute to world causes.
Follow the links, and partake of the bountiful rewards.
“The Adult Christianity Web Ring consists of sites that approach spirituality with a questioning mind rather than blind obedience… Some use satire, some serious study, all seeking truth without compulsion.”
Closing Reflection
The Community Zone is both vision and method: a map for turning ideals into lived reality.
Through honesty, cooperation, and conscious creation, communities can move from chaos to harmony, from survival to flourishing.
Paradise is not a place beyond reach; it is the ongoing process of becoming.
