I think I can add a something to the two very different socio-economic groups: the lady says that the villagers are going here the aurovillians are taking off from, but aren't Aurovillians trying to get back to where the villagers are coming from in a way? I am not sure we can really put the evolution into two separate boxes. Maybe we need to aspire to 'more' until we discover that 'more' is not enough.
Beautiful message and well delivered. I knew Francis briefly (decades ago) as a high school teacher. Just became aware of her amazing personal journey.
No empowered political or social change will happen until economic reforms are made, and that won't happen until we leave usury commodity currencies behind and move to qualitative exchange mechanisms with no cost that incentives status to create sustainably. This means a no-cost, non-commodity exchange model that doesn't need fractional reserve lending or usury to run it. facebook.com/buxxb wiki.p2pfoundation.net/BUXB

It's good because they are all in agreement and it's a choice. I think it's powerful. I wish I could experience this so that I could share it with the people here and show them that it's possible. I already shared your link. I just wish more people would see it. Blessings To You All
TidBits: Auroville "City of the Dawn”, S India! a city of 2800 citizens from 40 nations surviving 50 years without Money, since 1968 • ALL cultures / castes • no individual OWNERSHIP / no pay: economy designed to serve humanity, not humans serving economy • can still be productive / CREATIVE / innovative; we take what we really need and that’s it • abundant life: produce more meaning + fewer objects • outside world: no freedom of CHOICE: job just to survive not live, just to pay dues not learn/self-discover • EDU: free, no shaping as in modern edu (industrial age) • NOT UTOPIA: learn through mistakes, accelerated evolution • SUPPORT from Indian gov (Auroville Foundation) / UNESCO / well-wishers - increasingly more self-sufficient • Auroville’s Central FUND is mainly supplied by Auroville’s commercial units*, followed by private donations • Auroville-made PRODUCTS for sale outside: stationary / candles / incense / health foods / medicines / clothing / body care products / jewelry / wooden toys • CAREERS: organic agriculture / educational research / health care (East/West mix)
It is too big to work as they were told it would. They all look like they want to get out of the trap they have found themselves in. In Kali Yuga corruption follows all groups and institutions like a wet blanket. Depending on interpretation of the "Mother" they espouse to be unique souls empowered in their own special talent. Yet they are crippled by politics, in fighting and a total loss of fresh perspective. In a phrase their balloon popped.
So different places are not equally beautiful, so how do you decide who will have their home in the most wanted space, region, who will have the most amazing view? Im sure the greatest place should be communal, but still, every place is not equally beautiful. Perhaps the less attractive regions are rewarded with more luxurious space, while those who live in the greatest view will have a smaller home to share. Im just trying to adapt my mind to this way of thinking. I don't think that someone who was born privileged should have a castle on the most beautiful place and then everyone with less legacy live in the sewers to this king.

It is astonishing to see the progress they made so far. As they say in the final part there's still a lot to be done and clash of ideas and ideals. But i believe they can achieve unity and, sooner or later, discard money. If in small organizations around the world, you already can pay-it-back with your work, you can make that in a small city too. There's a tremendous group of individuals there who see themselves not for what they are but what they can achieve as one. That's so simple and it actually bugs my mind how one can think other way even in the western society. I really hope in the near future (already been searching in Tripadvisor xD) i could go visit for a couple weeks. I think it takes a lot to leave behind and be part of an experiment but i would happily contribute to it in a couple weeks.
Io ci sono stata ..........ho provato l'unitá....l'uomo potrebbe vivere in armonia ......non è un'utopia. Consiglio a chi vuole conoscere meglio il pensiero di AUROBINDO di leggere l'AVVENTURA DELLA COSCIENZA di SATPREM che è un discepolo di Auro bindo è un libro semplice diretto ,chiaro facile da comprendere per chi è nuovo di certe tematiche. Ciao e Buona Avventura a tutti!
