Providentially we are in a period of building tribes of common interest and values. It's a phenomena seen in different forms all around the world. People want to build communities of peace, love and harmony, out of the old confined models.
Aureville is one such new model. It demonstrates that every town should have it's own Father and Mother and grow as a family, striving for common prosperity, well-being, happiness and spiritual fulfillment. This video raises many important questions about the way of realizing our Unificationist dream of ideal society.
Recognized by UNESCO, the purpose of Auroville is to realize human unity. Auroville is a place with no religion, no politicians and no money. It started 40 years ago as an experimental city. As of May 2016, it has 2,487 residents (1854 adults and 633 children) from 49 countries.
But now this is becoming a trend. Many are fascinated by the idea of Building their own non-toxic, mortgage-free cob house in a low-impact neighborhood of like-minded nature lovers. This is a sign of where the central providence is heading at this point in history.
"Auroville wants to be a universal town where men and women of all countries are able to live in peace and progressive harmony above all creeds, all politics and all nationalities."
Hundreds of such communities around the world, bring people together with common goals of harmonic living. These communities are building their dream reality of the future without fighting the existing reality. They carry “an energizing lifestyle of daily prayer and meditation, healing or service projects, and outdoor adventure opportunities.” Though it bills itself as a spiritual community, people of all faiths are welcomed.
"One Nation, One Planet, One Race for World Peace"
In Africa we see ECO-Communities where white and black live together, helping each other to build their dream. The Senegaly's Government has started a program to transition 14,000 villages into ECO-Villages. We see that in Thailand, in Burma and other countries as well. It is a whole network of such villages, growing and spreading around the globe.
You travel throughout all these villages, from one continent to the next, meeting everywhere people with higher values, who bring together their love and their longing to create a better future for their children. From all directions we see the tendency and the growing desire to move to energy efficient and nature friendly homes. These are signs of human heart and spirituality being restored.
Here, citizens from different nations and races attempt to live lives of selfless service, dedicated to the pursuit of human unity - the world to live as one united family." Millions are inspired by this vision and come as volunteers to their Ecovillage Design Education Workshops learning the different aspects of community building; Worldview, social, economic, ecologic.
"There is no one approach. We want the individual flowering to take place. We want the personality to develop in it's own unique pattern and manner."
The new scientific discoveries will open the possibility to live in freedom and peace, transcending the barriers of nationality, welt, culture, religion or race. All we need is a moral transformation of our hearts and conscience through the Culture of Heart.
The Need for Revolution of Heart and Conscience
The Unificationist ideal is to develop the ideal world based on the model of the ideal family. To fulfill that of course, first we need to educate true families, then build loving communities. At the moment thousands of Eco-Villages and self-sustainable communities have been created worldwide. Gradually towns, regions and finally nations will appear based on that idea and standard of heart.
"We need a new state of conscientiousness, a Revolution of Heart." IEF
We Unificationists are now building such a community of heart on a much larger scale around the lake of Cheongpyong in South Korea. Meanwhile we are preparing and educating leaders and communities in numerous other nations. In some areas 80 to even 100% of the families acepted the Blessing and are now undergoing Principle education. Eventually the whole world should become one global family - "One Family Under God".
"The unity of the world as a global family is essential for heavenly fortune to come." Sun Myung Moon
With robotisation, the outcome of goods and services will be extremely high. With automatization will come abundance; almost everything will get very cheep. Much harder challenge is, how do people then find meaning. If we have more free time, how do we use it? Are we gonna live a moral, good and happy life? Here comes the urgent need for Revolution of Heart and Revolution of Consciousness, True Father (Sun Myung Moon) was talking about.
"Astonishing developments in science and technology bind humanity together through a revolution of information, communication and transportation. Thus, international cooperation is needed and a shared commitment is necessary in order to protect the Earth's fragile environment." Sun Myung Moon
God was paving the way by preparing communities with similar ideas and Auroville is one such place. We now see that the time has come, when society is moving towards us. You can see it in every part of the world. You can see how the region will look like, when communities support each other.
"There should be somewhere upon Earth that no nation can claim as it's own property. A place where all people of good will, sincere in their aspirations, would live freely as citizens of the World, obeying one simple authority, that of the supreme Truth." Aureville
Our vision is build a model settlement where thousands of people live in peace; within themselves, with their neighbors and with the entire world. This is the very Unificationist ideal, given to us by our True Parents, and we are dedicated to have the first nation restored until 2020. If we build that model at one place, we can bring this examples out in the crises areas of the world as well.
"With much less then what they are wasting now we could make of the Earth a very beautiful and harmonious place."
Shift Towards Parentism and Governance of Heart
If you go to the spirit world, in the high Paradise levels, you'll find that each area has it's own spiritual leaders, who are in the position of loving, carrying and nurturing parents. We Unificationists have our True Parents, but it's time many to inherit their heart and tradition. Such couples are to be the center of each such developing town. Furthermore:
"Today we live in an economy which is so masculine. And there is this dream of a feminine kind.. and the love and hope, and care has to come in if we have to survive."
"In the twenty-first century, women should play a major role.. pulling forward the construction of a peaceful world. Going beyond a century of power and technology, women will be the central axis in building.. loving, peaceful culture." (Father July16 2012)
Successful Models of Building Cities and State
Let's look at another model prepared by God. Mormons moved west under the big persecutions they faced at their early days. It's interesting how in 50 years they could reach 100,000 people in the South Lake area.
"In April 1847 the first group of Mormon settlers left and headed west.. Brigham Young led a group of two children, three women, and 143 men. They traveled in oxen-pulled wagons for three months. On July 22 they entered the Salt Lake Valley."
How did they create a big settlement in Utah
1. They payed the trip of those who wanted to move and live there
2. They had guides to lead them on that dangerous trip through the wilderness.
3. They helped the settlers with accommodation and word
4. The settlers then had the chance to return that loan.
"This Mormon migration took place between 1847 and 1869.. about 70,000 Mormons migrated to Utah."
Comparing to Auroville, Mormons were very fast in growing and expanding. Their case was a precedent in history that historians can only compare with the growth of the early Christianity. And of course, based on those models prepared by God, now Unificationism is growing even faster. In 50 years it has grown its foundation in all 194 nations, including representatives of all races, cultures and religions. Not only that, but Unificationism has build a vast network of media and organizations, covering all areas of life, working with governments, heads of states, top-religious leaders, kings and chiefs.
Yet, despite all this great foundation, there is still what to learn and inherit from the model of Auroville and other similar good endeavors. Perhaps, even learning from their limitations. For many want to move and live in Auroville, but because of financial limitations there are so few they can take. In so many years they could grow up to little over 2000 people living there, while at the moment Unificationism is approaching 2000 couples moving in the Cheongpyeong area.
Surely many would want to move too, if there was opportunities. But Korea is difficult place to move to and the HQ is not yet able to help with visa, documents, accommodation and work. If they do that, hundred of thousands will be ready to move there overnight. For that purpose there is fast construction work going on at the moment, as a part of the process of developing the needed infrastructure. Yes, Cheongphyong already has few schools and even University; But next stage is to secure the right of its own educational system, based on its own high ideals and spiritual values.
The Cheongpyong: The City of our Dreams
True Parents were able to create the miracle that you see here today. Amazing community is forming around Ceongpyong Lake, South Korea. (See CHEONWON: MODEL OF THE RESTORED GARDEN OF EDEN) The area is already famous for its healing activities. New buildings are raising rapidly. You can see the new pure, happy and creative culture among the thousands of second generation children living and studying there (Children of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification).

True Mother is now determined to establish the First Model Nation by 2020. Number of nations are already educating their citizens in the Culture of Heart. (Read, THE ADVENT OF THE GLOBAL ERA OF WOMEN). In special-chosen nations we see rural areas with 80 to 100 % Blessed families. The first restored nation is on the way! Cambodia with 60% of its highest level leaders educated. The leaders of Churches with 10 million members going through 40 day Principle worships. Christians, Muslims, Buddhists and other religions fascinated by the Ideals of the True Parents. The Culture of Heart spreads like fire in all of the Pacific region and now even in Africa.

Now even technology has to compete in that direction
Auroville was founded by Mirra Alfassa (known as "the Mother") in 1968 on a site, approximately 20 square kilometers of barren wasteland. The four-point charter set forth Auroville's vision of integral living:
- Auroville belongs to nobody. Auroville belongs to humanity as a whole. To live in Auroville, one must be the willing servitor of the Divine Consciousness.
- Auroville will be the place of an unending education, of constant progress, and a youth that never ages.
- Auroville wants to be the bridge between the past and the future. Taking advantage of all discoveries from without and from within.
- Auroville will be a site of material and spiritual researches for a living embodiment of an actual Human Unity.
This is a list of intentional communities.
