Community vs Commodity

Hello beautiful Souls,

Today, I’d like to share the concept of community versus commodity, particularly in the context of friendships and relationships.

First, it’s crucial to define what friendship means to you personally. For me, it aligns with the attributes of my Visionary archetype: Beauty, Purity, Clarity, Dignity, Mindfulness, Wisdom, and Celebration. The word “Quality” encapsulates all these attributes. Every relationship in my life must resonate with this essence.

Of course, perspectives on friendships and community vary. Some view them as simple social interactions for enjoyment, others as a means to contribute to humanity, and some, unfortunately, see them as commodities.

A commodity, by definition, is something useful that can be turned to commercial or other advantages. This mindset, I believe, stems from traditional business culture, perpetuating the fallacy that “It’s not personal, it’s just business.” But how can we evolve humanity if we conflate community, networking, and business as mere tools for financial gain?

What if we reframe these concepts?

  • Community: communing in unity or common union.
  • Networking: working within an interconnected system.
  • Business: a sense of appropriate busy-ness.

This perspective aligns more closely with nature’s interconnected systems, reminiscent of William Blake’s observation: “A bird builds a nest, a spider a web, and man (human) friendships.”

Humans need to cultivate sound relationships to build a strong foundation – a true community. A relationship based on commodity is self-serving, while one based on community is about being of service.

We must shift from asking “What’s in it for me?” to embrace the power of real community. When we connect to the light of Unity within our community, all other agendas fall away. Relationships, friendships, and community are essential; we can’t navigate life without them. They sustain the connective life force within and around us – our true currency.

Only together can we create a new story for humanity. Growing through our differences fosters unity, yielding something far greater than any commodity. We were never meant to do it alone, nor was it ever about the love of money. When we fully experience our profound interconnectedness, we’ll remember that together, we are the abundance we seek.

Heart to Heart, Elizabeth

What are your views on a new style of community?

Surround Yourself with Goodness

Nature and evolution are always leading us toward a perfect state.

Up until this point we have advanced by compulsion. From this point forward, we can advance only by adding our understanding of how we develop.

Now we can sweeten and speed up our development through our environment. It has been proven that adults and children develop enormously with help from their environment.

Groups like Alcoholics Anonymous, Animal Rights activists, and even Weight Loss programs are all based on the communities influence.

We all need to participate in the same way.

By developing good community we become children of the larger family, and in addition, we then create a similar framework for our children. Ultimately, humanity needs to only be concerned with one thing; creating good environments.

Any parent would be glad to bring a child into a warm, friendly environment, where children are being taught to unite. This unity provides them with a sense of confidence and rids them of fear of poverty, suffering, pride, and other problems inherent in human nature.

It’s nothing out of the ordinary; simply provide a good environment, which is a “gentle place” for development.

Such an environment allows a person to open up and to better perceive and take things in because they are not feeling constantly on the defensive in a hostile environment. As adults, we often don’t understand what it means to be in an abundant environment. Whereas a newborn baby in the arms of our mother we felt nothing except her embrace.

This sensation gives us the strength to develop.

We lack this sensation and that’s why we’re facing a global crisis. In all areas where we previously were successful, we now find ourselves at a dead-end.

The crisis can, on one hand, can be a catastrophe and on the other hand a rebirth. The word “crisis” comes from the Greek word “krisis”, and means a new beginning. However, we use it incorrectly. Also, the word “crisis” in Hebrew means a place where new life emerges. The word “Christ-ness” has been popping into my consciousness of late, they sort of sound and mean the same… interesting.

Let’s remember that it is our environment and our community that makes us happy or not. A truly abundant environment will simply make our lives happy.

Let’s give thanks to the environment that creates an abundant community for us all. When we feel confident we have unity with others, our world feels safe and we feel the impulse to be generous with our gifts. We feel taken care of and want to take care of others. We then recognize we live in a world imbued with warmth, confidence, and kindness.

Our world becomes unified by the Light of Love and Glory.

Adopted Archetypes

Authentic Archetypes & Adopted Archetypes

The Living Attributes© system is a body of work that has many components. But its fundamental foundations are its configuration of a persons four main archetypes, which are referred to as Cornerstones. Each Cornerstone along with its traditional archetypes also has a set of affiliated support, such as light and shadow attributes, animal wisdom, ancestors and angels. This affiliated support is there to strengthen and give substance to your archetypical patterning. Once identified and established this light-filled system gives you an effective tool that aids you on your path of personal and spiritual development.

Before you are able to fully embrace your four cornerstone archetypes, you may have to let go of some adopted archetypes. You adopted these specific archetypes for reasons that are attached to your past. These adopted archetypes have devotedly been protecting a particular part of you that you haven’t been ready to consciously reveal. These adopted archetypes play out particular behaviors in your life and eventually become what appear to be destructive, negative or helpless scenarios. What is really occurring is that your adopted archetype are insistently letting you know it is time for completion and integration; making way for your authentic archetypes.

The insightful process of releasing your past through the acknowledgement of adopted archetypes, aids in your personal evolution and gracefully helps you wake up to a new and deeper reality. This valuable discovery invokes the feelings and thoughts such as; “there must be something more to my life than this”? This type of reflective inquiry is when you begin the powerful journey into your authentic self, and it is your adopted archetypes that actually led you to this inquiry. Their function is to invoke and awaken in you your four authentic archetypes, which ultimately make up the perfect configuration of your highest and most sacred archetype, which is your worldly archetype; your Avatar.

The key factor in the discovery of your adopted archetypes is not to make them wrong. After all they have been doing their best to keep you somewhat safe, until you can confidently go deeper into your self-development and claim your authentic archetypes, which are appropriate to this life-time.

So I encourage you to view your life as a story line, one that has different chapters and characters, which all add to creating an interesting and exciting story; your larger story. It is very important to see the significance of each chapter and character… and why they were a crucial part in the narrative development of your own personal story. It is only then that you begin to live your life from a conscious viewpoint, eager to live your life fully and never wanting to miss a moment of this incredible story you are co-creating and sharing with the world.

Remembering Your Origin Through the Living Attributes Codex

Within each of us lies a Seed of the Soul, a divine spark that carries the memory of our origin and the potential to live fully aligned with our higher self. This seed is not a distant concept; it is alive, present, and ready to awaken in every moment. The key to accessing this inner light lies in the Living Attributes Codex, a map of the qualities that guide, correct, and transform us.

The Codex identifies two complementary aspects of our being: Light Attributes, the ever-present capacities that reflect our highest potential, and Shadow Attributes, the challenging aspects of life that reveal the gaps, fears, and misalignments that require attention. Shadow Attributes are not failures—they are invitations, reflections of growth, and opportunities to purify the self and reconnect with Source.

The Role of the Seed of the Soul

The Seed of the Soul remembers. It recalls the wholeness of our origin and calls us to awaken from the illusion of limitation. Every conflict, uncomfortable emotion, or repeated life pattern is a signal from the Soul that there is an aspect of our being ready to return to Light. By learning to recognize and work with our Shadow Attributes, we honor the Soul’s call and allow the Seed to expand and blossom.

The Five-Step Correct & Transform Process

The Living Attributes Codex provides a structured path for nurturing the Seed of the Soul through a simple but profound process of Correct & Transform:

STEP ONE: Reconnect with Source
The Seed thrives in alignment. Begin by grounding yourself in the presence of Source through meditation, prayer, contemplation, or quiet immersion in nature. These practices awaken your Light Attributes and prepare you to perceive the lessons within your Shadow.

STEP TWO: Identify Your True Feeling
When a challenge arises, pause and inquire:
“What do I really feel about this situation?”
Observe without judgment. Set the intention to be healed and to move beyond limiting patterns. This awareness allows the Seed of the Soul to guide you toward clarity.

STEP THREE: Recognize Your Shadow Attributes
Name the Shadow qualities presenting themselves in the situation. For example:

  • Issue: “I don’t have any money coming in.”
  • Shadow Attribute: “I feel overwhelmed and apathetic.”

Acknowledging the Shadow is not surrender—it is recognition, a necessary step for transformation.

STEP FOUR: Correct & Transform with Light Attributes
Consult your Living Attributes Codex to find the Light Attributes that counterbalance and uplift the Shadow. For example:

  • Shadow “Overwhelmed & Apathetic” → Light “Competent & Enthusiastic”

Commit to embodying these Light Attributes consciously. This step activates the Seed of the Soul, allowing it to flourish through your intentional action.

STEP FIVE: Integrate Through Body Prayer
Use the Body Prayer of Correct & Transform to internalize and energize your Light Attributes. Practice daily acknowledgment and intentional application in meditation, prayer, and life’s actions. The Seed of the Soul grows through consistent alignment, eventually expressing as expanded presence, creativity, and divine clarity in every moment.

Living the Codex

Working with the Living Attributes Codex transforms life from a series of challenges into a dynamic practice of remembering, correction, and alignment. Each Shadow encounter becomes an opportunity to bring the Soul’s Seed into full bloom. Miracles, in this context, are simply shifts in perception, the awakening to the ever-present Light already within you.

The Sacred Spiral Field teaches us that transformation is cyclical, not linear. Each Shadow encounter loops back into our centre, inviting conscious correction. Each Light activation radiates outward, expanding our life and the Seed of the Soul. By consciously being one with the Living Attributes Codex, we align ourselves with both the geometry of creation and the eternal memory of our origin story.

The Seed of the Soul is patient. It waits not in expectation but in readiness. When nurtured through self-referencing, alignment, and the consistent practice of the Correct & Transform process, it blossoms, revealing that every Shadow is a guide, every Light Attribute is a tool, and every moment is an invitation to remember our true origins and live in our fullest potential.

Realms of Consciousness

This month at Temple de Lumiere we celebrated the archetype of the Enchantress, which was presented by Souzi Wilson. I would like to acknowledge Souzi for her wonderful presentation that centered around family, forgiveness and sensuality. Her message really brought home the power of love and forgiveness. At the end of Souzi’s story she graced us all with a joyful song that she wrote called “Forgive Yourself”. Thank you again Souzi for sharing your beautiful voice and story with us.

The other part of our morning was spent exploring the four realms of consciousness and how these different levels of reality are not just some lofty experience we have in meditation, but rather they are indeed real levels of experience in our daily life. What follows is a description of how we can work with each of our archetypes in these realms to fulfill our true purpose in life.

Physical Realm (OUR EARTHLY NEEDS)                                                                    

What is the nature of your life purpose? This is where you draw on the qualities of your particular archetype in the physical sense. This archetype helps you to stay focused on your true nature in your life/business/vocation. By identifying with the particular attributes of this cornerstone you gain finer distinctions regarding WHAT your foundational aptitude is and then accordingly activate it in your life. This archetype is the driving force behind the way you present your self in the world.

Emotional Realm (FEELINGS & RELATIONSHIPS)                                                    

Why are you in this particular vocation/relationship? This archetypes true power stems from its emotional nature and is the one you draw from to get your message across. The way to be attractive in your vocation/life is by appealing to the emotional needs of your particular relationships/market or audience. Authenticity is paramount and this is the realm of feelings, so coming from your heart and rather than your head is the best way to deliver your communication/message. By applying the attributes from this archetype, rather than trying to copy someone else’s mode of conduct, you will feel comfortable and more confident in your style and delivery. When you are emotionally connected to WHY you are sharing your vision or your life, people will respond accordingly.

Spiritual Realm (CREATIVE PROCESS & SKILLS)                                                        

How do you like to operate and relate in your vocation? Here is where you connect to HOW you like to be creative; the way you like to express your inner resources and abilities. Ask yourself what creative systems/modalities do you like to work with the most. The attributes of this archetype will signify what sustains your inner world, your spirit. When you are unable to serve this part of yourself, it will show up in your vocation. A lack of spirit is not attractive; where as a vision that is alive with your own personal spark is what keeps people interested. The great thing about this insight is you don’t have to do anything but be yourself and be a creative expression of your vision in your life.

Celestial Realm (ALLIANCE & EXCELLENCE)                                                                  

Who are the people you want to serve or team up with? This is the key to finding out what your true niche is. This is how to best serve the people you are in alignment with in the world. These are the people WHO want to benefit from your highest and most refined talents. This is where you really shine; using the attributes of this particular archetype will help you identify and attract the people who want to listen to you, buy your products and use your services. These attributes are the key to revealing your true excellence and perfected nature. This is you matching your intention with the intention of creation and evolution.
