A Future I Love Runs On

The Timeless Technology of Right Relationship, leveraging independence to serve and increase interdependence fueled by mutual desire, alignment, and enjoyment.

Throughout human history, survival needs have compelled relational compromise. We live to the standards of others, or we die alone. We compromise ourselves, or we ask that others compromise, and we control or be controlled, all in order to have some semblance of our preferences met, some farce of belonging, some "form" of relationship.

As abundance has flooded our material world, as life has gotten easier, we've created distance in order to experience freedom from social constraints. We have used the technology of independence in the worst possible way--to live independently.

The future I love is one in which we leverage our ability to be independent and self-sufficient to draw us into close and voluntary low-stakes relationships with many other human beings. 

No longer are our choices to go it alone or compromise our authenticity to fit in. The networking of the world means that there is somewhere our authenticity will be welcome and we can find it and go to there within our lifetimes. This is unprecedented freedom, which shows very clearly in the way we don't have any idea what to do about it. 

I go to "community" homes and notice that everyone has their own car, shops for their own food, and makes their own individual meals. This is the greatest expression, for me of unconditional poverty in community form. Conditionally, wealth is present. Regardless of the conditional wealth, individualist practices can keep us in poverty. 

In the future I love, we have unconditional wealth, the wealth of interdependence with aligned individuals, the wealth of relational harmony, the wealth of contentment in the now moment. 

And it's not so far-fetched, it's not so futuristic. I have it here now.
