Creating a Community Assembly

Taking our lead from Nature by coming together to work in harmony as a community.

We Are The Future! by Nick Kitchen, Community Assembly of Lincolnshire

Over the last few years there has been so much going on that many of us have found it difficult to navigate through it all, let alone make sense of it.

With the kung flu, lockdowns, this crisis, that crisis, price hikes, scandals, truck loads of lies and deceit, it is no wonder we have been confused, compounded by media tales and biased reporting.

All in an age with so much information shared across social networks and yet, at the same time, such huge censorship on anything that breaks the entrenched narrative.

Information overload

Many may wonder if the information we are seeing is real or fake and I know I find myself asking this question over and over again.

Information and knowledge is great to have isn't it? But it can have a negative effect also. It seems that we have been deliberately flooded with so much false information that we are distracted from what is important. This misplaces our sense of focus so that we lose our way

If we feel we are running around like headless chickens, this is by design. The so-called 'powers that be' know this. They believe that if they give us so much input with enough to doubt its authenticity we will become fragmented. They know we live on our mobile phones, social networks and YouTube channels these days and this is being used to get us away from focusing our attention on what really matters.

So what do we do?

It's simple.

Taking back our power

Only take what information you need to assess what is right or wrong and then take action to fix the things that need fixing. One of the biggest fears our adversaries have is us coming together and realising that we have greater power than them.

This is our power, the 'power of the many' as in those of us who say, 'No!'

Learning from Nature

We can learn so much from Nature and when we think of the ants and the bees, we see how they work together as one, focusing on what they are doing to help further their community.

Single bees and ants who stray from their nest or community, or get lost, are easy targets.

But ...

Would you mess with a whole swarm of bees or a whole nest of biting ants on your own?

I don't think so, do you?

Coming together and working in harmony, just like the ants and bees, is so very important for us right now.

Bringing people together

We need to take action together with like-minded people in our localities, building or becoming a part of a community. This is what brings people together and binds us, making us so much stronger.

Understand and take note that this is not what is wanted for us folks.

Creating a group in your local area should be easy enough but it means you are still somewhat isolated.

There is an alternative ...

Joining or creating a Community Assembly and 'plugging in' to the Community Assembly of the British Isles (CABI) network is a better way. Joining us as a Founding Facilitator or member allows you to access to an entire network of Community Assemblies, not just in the British Isles but across the world through our parallel network, Assemblies of the world.

It would be great if you joined us.

Doing it your way

There are many benefits for CABI facilitators and members, not least becoming part of an established network of like-minded people with free access to knowledge, resources and expertise gathered from members of the British Isles and the Assemblies of the World.

How much time and effort you put into your local (or regional) Community Assembly is your choice.

As Founding Facililtators you are the boss, liaising and working with your community to make all the decisions and do things in your own way.

So folks, don't let yourself get distracted by the bullsh#t.

Lift yourself free.

Get focused and stay focused.

Go and do the very thing they don't want you to do.

And above all be happy.
