For a few years now the popularity of intentional communities and eco-villages has increased. People are joining with like minded individuals to build communities that offer protection for their preferred way of life. Many of these communities are based on religious familiarity. Some are based on self sustainability. Whatever the foundation, the concept is positive and beneficial.

With the economic recession quickly plunging us all into what appears to be a great depression, we all need to think about just how bad things can get before they get better. Those who have forged ahead and already belong to an intentional community, or better, an eco-village will find the trials of this transition to be much less painful. For those of us who still find ourselves groveling about the financial burdens strapped to our backs by greedy corporations and others like them, it is time to look up from our toils and consider the need to establish what has now become "essential communities".

Few of us understand the basis for the economic conditions we find ourselves in. Bottom line, the status quo elite are positioning themselves for a one world currency, economy and new world governing order. The same architect of the Euro, Wim Duisenberg, was also the leading architect and proponent for the new one world currency that will be backed by ten or more commodities or hard assets such as oil, gold, land, etc. His passing in 2005 may have slowed this effort but others have taken up his ultimate goal and are well poised to complete his dream.

In the article, "The End of National Currency," Steil clearly asserts the dollar and the euro are temporary currencies, perhaps necessary today. He argues "economic development outside the process of globalization is no longer possible."

Therefore, the real end game we are witnessing in the global markets is not a bailout for the benefit of Main Street, rather a global strategy to rape the people of their hard earned wealth so that when it comes time to transfer wealth to the new global currency and economy, the status quo elites will have control over most of the worlds assets. Combine this reality with the notion that Henry Kissinger has for almost three decades been warning his cronies about the biggest threat to the globe, over population, or as Kissinger likes to call them "Useless Eaters" and the reduction in population that will result from the hardship and chaos in transforming the economy into a one world global currency is viewed by the status quo elites as a win-win outcome.

Some of us still have our jobs that keep us bound to the grind stone, while many have not only lost their jobs, but their homes as well. Some of us have land, but no expertise on how to work the land. A good number of us have actually sat behind our computers for hours on end researching just how to develop self sustainability. A few of us have actually plunged our hands into the soil and begun the experiment of growing our own food. The point is, if one can donate land, while others donate sweat and still others contribute knowledge, it is a feasible possibility that we can whether the storm and survive.

The idea of an essential community is to establish a place where people can gather when the times get really tough. If you have land located outside the cities but you have to maintain your job and so can't develop the land yourself, why not allow people who have the time and the knowledge to develop it for you? Those who have knowledge and able bodies, but have lost their jobs and homes should band together with others and develop a sustainable living refuge. This would be perfect for someone who is close to foreclosure on their land.

Now, for those of you with land and money who think you can do it by yourself, perhaps you should think on it a little deeper. When food becomes scarce on the market shelves, where do you think the hungry masses will flock? Some will migrate towards these essential communities and if people have cooperated and are working together, many wanderers will be taken in and allowed to become part of the working community. Trouble makers, on the other hand, will be rejected by these communities, whose strength will be in their numbers, and those trouble makers will target the rich who thought they need only take care of themselves.

We are entering a new chapter in American and World history. It is time to change our thinking if we are to meet the many challenges that we will face in the near future. For ourselves, we are interested in working together with like-minded people in the Abiquiu/El Rito area who wish to establish an essential community. Specifically, we are interested in individuals who are spiritually enlightened. You can post information about your own essential community, connect with other individuals in your area and begin establishing your own cooperative eco-village effort by visiting the Broken Earth website at:
http://www.brokenearth.org/essential. This site will act as a clearinghouse to share information with other New Mexicans and to match land owners with interested cooperative members.

Essential communities are the best insurance to a failed or transitional one world economy. If nothing happens or the economy rebounds quickly, an essential community will still provide locally grown produce, eggs, poultry, meat, lower costs, preserves the environment and draws communities together. The important thing right now is to become part of or buy shares in an essential community near your home.
