enclosure

[Mr.Anderson]

After reading the thread regarding strategic enclosure, I understand the importance and benefits. However after an extended period of self examination and (I assume a commitment to doing "The Work,") community could be a beneficial vehicle for accelerated growth.

As a parallel, relationships, which most people think are about finding "happiness," are really about doing The Work. Harvell Hendrix says that you better hope you never find your true sole mate... they know how to push every button an reopen ever childhood wound (program) you have. He says it takes 5-7 years to heal these wounds and find any modicum of "happiness." I think he's terribly optimistic, it takes longer.

Community's in relationship are messy, difficult and exhausting-- who wants to look at their 'compost' as frequently as you must when being in the company of someone who "sees you." To say you are not ready is like saying that you are not ready to take your medicine. Idries Shah say in his book Learning How to Learn, the "higher work" is done in relationships.

If people are going to get together, it could take a great deal of time to work out the logistics... if it's not too late already.

FWIW

Hi Mr Anderson,
When one has a colinear community engaged in the Work, it would help in accelerated growth as you mentioned. In such a colinear community, one would not need to have a strategic enclosure. This internet forum is set up to be such a community.
One could learn a lot from the usual non-colinear relationships in daily life and that is what the 4th Way Work is about, but in this case, a strategic enclosure will be essential. Such an enclosure helps a man to participate in regular life and learn his lessons without being carried away by the strong currents.
My thoughts on the topic fwiw

Hi Mr. Anderson,

am I correct in understanding that you are suggesting this network should start forming physical communities, in part because creating relationships with others will help to do the work?

If this is correct it would be helpful for you to read through a couple of threads that demonstrate just a portion of some of the things the group has gone through, and why having an online group serves as a protective measure:

Libel and Defamation Against SOTT, Cass, LKJ, QFG, etc

Thanks Obvyatel, Thanks Shane.

After re-reading the links you provided I see how protection could be a real issue, even for just a couple of people getting together. Just thinking about current events and how, if it would ever happen, time is getting short.

Thanks again

Yes going it alone can be tedious at times.

If you are willing to go through the "relationships" knowing this, wouldn't it be beneficial? As you would look at each program and learn to accept and forgive yourself more rapidly. The matter would be if there was a lack of preparation before hand. Preparation is key. For some this may be recommended but for others this may just be a disaster.

That is true. Still even after the logistics are worked out the commitment to those logistics may well be forgotten if someone slips back into sleep mode. If in fact it is an agreement amongst several individuals then I can see where this has a smaller chance of happening. As everyone will do their best to man their towers and give a shout every now and then to anyone who might be dosing off. :)

**This is what was posted earlier but I got the quote entangled with my reply. So to clarify exactly what was said and not misquote Mr Anderson here is my reply by itself. I also had to rewrite so anyone reading will understand what I am saying because the quote is gone. I promise I will get a hang of using the forums. ;D**

Your soul mate would have to at least be attempting "the work" as well. More than likely if she is she will match up in that department. If you are willing to go through the "relationships" knowing your buttons would be pushed, wouldn't it be beneficial? As you would look at each program and learn to accept and forgive yourself more rapidly. The matter would be if there was a lack of preparation before hand. Preparation is key.

Yep perhaps, but we will SEE what happens. Remember to observe, unbiased with no expectations, and remember, ALL IS POSSIBLE.

And, as someone said to me: 'Let go and be more open about the future, about what might happen, it may well be different from what you currently imagine; remember it's limitless, just like the Universe.'

Al Today, good reminder: no expectations, all is possible.

T: I'm sure it Will be different than we/I think
