I will submit that this is accurate and aligns with my perspective as well. But, rarely does a community live up to its definition in active life. That may be due to the underlying influence of the learned Piscean era dysfunctional hierarchical structures. The dynamic of a leader led group will often compromise others in that community and diminish their interest and action. Even the democratic standards of majority rules is demeaning to the undercurrent of the collective community because someone will always be unhappy and not served. OK…so that is way it has been…so what about the community in the Aquarian times? Definition #2 above may be leaning in this direction. Let’s expand on it.
These are new times. With the Celestial promise of Oneness already infiltrating the hearts, minds and actions of all life, things are changing fast. There are many who have no idea. They, too, are under the influence of the new vibrational frequencies that open and expand the inner memory of I Am That I Am reclaiming the Whole Self and all that that entails. There is simply more clearing to be done before it breaks through the veils in place, the veils that wear the cloak of limitation (that is in process of disintegrating). But, as the movie says, build it and they will come…
The new communities large and small shall have new elements that are life affirming primarily. In that spirit let us lay the groundwork with some suggestions for the communities that are on the horizon, already in the cellular structure of you and I. Characteristics, in no particular order, are :

and oh, so much more to be revealed
Quite the list, I would say. For some this sounds dreamy,new agey, and impossible to create. Well, it is more than possible and it comes through personal choices and actions in alignment with higher frequency, living from our true self, and being willing to enter and explore the evolving Oneness dynamic of these new times. Our further exploration of this topic will include an expanded entry into many on this list. Looking forward to planting the seeds of new perspectives and actions.
And it shall be this way I know
These things shall come to pass
It shall be wondrous to behold
Our life as Love at last..
