Where True Community Lives
Working together with no hidden agendas and covert competition is what makes a true community. When the Most High is the sole focus on people coming together, this is where true community thrives.

WHERE TRUE COMMUNITY LIVES
We Were Never Meant to Compete for the Right to Exist.
What would happen if we stopped trying to outrun one another?
What ifcompetition was not a must to survive or fulfilling one’s purpose?
Do we have to really live this life to uphold earthly mind’s standards of toxicity.
I think about back when I was in elementary school I witnessed how in the
particular setting me and my class peers were separated in these uniquely
organized desk cubicles during class hours meant to bring about an
isolated work experience as well as for independent learning purposes
and temporary isolation. As a child it was challenging and lonely at
times. There was really no room for collaboration and growth that benefited
my learning style. When you are isolated sometimes your mind cannot
evolve. When everyone is meant to learn to “get theirs” for the sake of
living to other’s standards and whether they deem you worthy to exist this
opens the door for individuals to become competitive for the sake of taking
from others in order to get ahead.
Symbolically, to me, it is a reminder of how many operate in this day and time
which is why there is so much division and animosity in today’s world. Each child
who grows in this type of background into a walking cubicle of competitive
complexities and deeply embedded in their brains to run a tedious race of
challenging obstacle courses set before them.
True community starts with the children and their parents showing them the
importance of working together and putting the Most High first in all that we say
and do. There is no reason to out do each other if we as a community are striving
to live righteously and sharing the earth given to us as a gift.
Symbolically, it is a reminder of how society has shaped us in today’s world of adults.
Each child grows into a walking cubicle of competitive complexities and limitations
programmed into their brains to run a tedious race of challenging obstacle courses set
before them.
True community starts with the children and their loving parents showing them the
importance of working together and putting the Most High first in all that we say and
do. There is no reason to out do each other if we as a community are striving to live
righteously and sharing the Most High given planet.
True community begins with a natural connection between people who understand that they are
not enemies.We are children of the Most High, a royal civilization meant to establish the His
kingdom on earth.
We have different gifts, different experiences, different personalities, different responsibilities, and
different paths—but we do not have to turn those differences into reasons to compete against one
another.
A healthy community is not built like a race where everyone is trying to live it up large to
showboat.
The Most High’s kingdom is not a rat race where exhaustion becomes normal.
It is not a Squid Game where people must defeat one another to survive which
goes against the Most High’s natural laws.
There is no prize for watching someone else fall.
There is no victory in creating another person's trauma.The Foundation of Connection
And there is nothing that needs to be proven when we understand who we are and
whose we are.
