Hello everyone. Just a quick update to let everyone know that my situation has not changed much since my initial post and I am still active on the subject and have received some contacts by the private messaging system. I welcome those of you who have reached the same conclusions as I have especially through experience that it is essential to try to establish a community following natural principles (i.e, social permaculture). This implies strict adherence to TRUTH / REALITY (natural moral philosophy through scientific investigation and experience) and is complementary to the "physical permaculure" that most people already recognize superficially. In other words, for one to be successful the other needs to be also, practicing both guided by the results (i.e., experimentally / experientially). This approach combines physical, socioeconomic, ecological sciences and principles systemically and holistically (integratively) to best harmonize with nature, and thus underpin any chance / claim for sustainability. Nature is after all a complex adaptive system, and true living / thriving requires integrating our lives with it deeply / systemically as social "animals" in the ecosystem, i.e., using communities based on natural scientific principles.
Otherwise, I encourage everyone to give serious consideration to the above concepts, and do your own research (including historical, especially of traditional societies most of which have been destroyed). Also include your own observations and experiments practicing rivaling concepts (from individualistic, intentional community type approaches based ultimately on wishes and intentions of individuals vs. the integrative ecosystemic approaches where the community is organized on the basis of necessity to create a balance with nature / following natural principles i.e., as a means to serve nature, and not the goal to serve the ego).
A true community requires a deep understanding and practice of logic (i.e., natural law / law of consequences / law of harvest), which the traditional cultures practiced as "common sense" and kept them sustainable for so long, creating a natural order and relative peace, essential for their health / longevity / sustainability. Having lost this tremendous wealth (the culture tying us to nature through time, evidence of perma - culture) in most of the world, we should not be surprised at the diseased state of the vast majority of individuals in the world and our sorry state, akin to deracinated plants that could not survive long despite all artificial interventions (as in our artificial global socioeconomic system). The difficult task at hand should be obvious for those serious about permaculture.
