    I don't have an outside job. I make clothing and other things and trade or sell...was planning on a big garden this summer, but that kind of fell apart. But, I've realized I'm much more happy barely getting by doing what I enjoy then by punching a time clock daily and watching the hands go round until the day is done. :)

    I'm a student studying to be a journalist (though I'm still waiting to hear about an internship I applied for a couple weeks ago).

    Chuck E. Cheese? Man, that kinda sounds fun. When i was a kid that place was my life... my grandma took me always at least twice a week. Sounds like it would be kinda fun to be the mouse, just tripping out... except I don't like kids myself.
    I remember the robotic animals on the stage always scared the shit out of me. And we'd always try to beat up on the guy in the mouse suit. Sorry dude.

    Hi again NoNumbe.

    Long time I did not responded (I had to much work on my head haha)...
    No, I just didn't have a mood simply.
    Remember our last dialog? You said that you don't want to know person who works for .....

    I put here obvious state that the work we're doing creates us and makes us what we are. But important is what we do and how we do it. And don't get me wrong, work have extendent meaning - if you work on self-impovement by meditation you're doing best work for youself and for The All Creatures of Universe.

    If you are doing something in the human world (like 99.99% of us all) it is the matter of own conscience to judge if this is right. On the other side there is a profit that you're getting from your work. Profit should never be at the first place like for the people that are making and trading guns for example. Gun merchants are using demons to trick their conscience and are using very complicated logical devagation that they selling guns to people for self-protection. For us it is simple: more bullets = more dead people.

    My case is much more innocent. I had no money and no true home after I ended a study. I had to work. My ideals and dreams about living in the community were impossible for realisation at that time as there was no such in Poland. I decided to do create one by myself. I started working hard (5 years already) - but as a programmer I was able to save money and in 2007 I bought large piece of land. Next year I'll build a house. I decided to leave my current live-style of working person this year in summer. I have arrear in traveling though the motherland and I thirsty of a sun.

    I sacrificed myself to that idea and I helped me to survive as I'm not born to be employed worked. Actually I'm on the edge of my power and energy... I'm tried in fact. And I realised myself that I don't want to sacrifice everything I made to Rainbow community, I want be the owner right now. Guest are very welcome but we and my wife now want to create familly in the most common meaning: with children, garden, dogs and cats....

    Maybe later I'll do something for our community, 5 hard years of work and my wife changed my vision into more standard one... I don't know, maybe it's because I forgot to meditate during this period - so I lost most of my cosmic awardness (believe me - it exists) ...

    But I think I'll start filling myself with optimism as soon as I'll start build something with my neighbour and good friend.

    NoNumbre - lets write our letters online - so people can read and maybe learn something from our personal experience.

    PEACE

    I really don't want a job. When I got out of school I tried a couple of 9 to 5 jobs but it was awful. I couldn't stand them!
    People is so stressed out..
    I am probably lucky to have a nice family around and a place to stay. I love my simple lifestyle..

    I train all kinds on monkeys, with no preference of breed, age, gender, or religious affiliation. ;)


    They are funny as hell when they are stoned.

    Oh, and alexxxx, I'd rather train a illion monkeys than have to babysit one young'un... Just kidding!

    I raised SIX kids. Monkeys are a helluva lot easier to train, and damn sure cheaper, and they don't talk back and call you an old bas_ard, he, he, he...
