WHY SHAMBHALA VILLAGE?

   The name 'Shambhala Village' is chosen because it contrasts the

delusional and impractical idea of ‘Utopia’, which is a hope of

convenience, safety and happiness being provided to us by a shiny

organized city-life society or government.  Shambhala is more of a

solution signifying a unity of humane, sane, practical and

technologically capable individuals that see the futility in trying to

rescue the unwilling from their delusional ways that force righteous

seeming rules upon others. Shambhala Village is united under the

flag of tolerance for differences and natural freedom.  Villagers also

recognize genuine wealth. It is a wealth measured in humanity as

opposed to the false-value wealth measure of civilization that is

driven and measured by the gains of elitist status seekers who exploit

laborers and conscripts for their own false-value gains.

   Beautiful secret mountain gardens with breathtaking organic architecture for enduring

homes and small diverse groups united by tolerance for each other & for a love of freedom. 

This is the fruition of the vision of the Age of Enlightenment that gave birth to great & free

nations, such as ours.

   Shambhala may be mythological only to those who cannot see it.  It is invisible to many

because it exist outside of the history of a civilization that is defined by centralized river

valley agriculture. This civilization has been blinded by the delusional ways despotism, greed

and self-exaltation over others. Enslavement, by the state or industry, seems rampant

already.  People work harder and harder and get less and less. The middle class is shrinking, 

   There is an alternative to becoming a sedentary and controlled labor force that is kept busy

working at low-pay to pay taxes & mortgages in the lowland cities. We do not have to be

subdued by industry-controlled mass media that will use basic persuasion; focus the people's

anger on free loaders and fear of exaggerated dangers from far away lands to keep big

industry in control, to conscript our young and to waste the people's potential for wealth,

understanding & peace on the false-value ambitions of only the elite.

  Shambhala Village is about reclaiming our right to build our own homes and our right to

have a place to be in this world.  It is about understanding and overcoming the delusional

and destructive tendencies of our human minds and our tendency to be subjugated by it and

by others. It is about clear seeing, calm rationale, peace, restorative justice, liberation,

independent production, networking of micro enterprise and living sustainably. Shambhala

is also about recognizing our connection to nature and to others and helping people out. It is

the ancient hill fort way of a wealthy, enduring and independent humanity.

   Shambhala Village, being a village, is also a small place.  It can be

like a private retreat or many small places that are each unique. It is

a diversity of many small groups. With each village or individual

home producing and sharing something valuable and unique that is

rich with culture so bringing authentic value back to what is traded

and with it, the prosperity of middle class economics. It is a place

where each individual cell is united under the flag of tolerance for

differences and respect for private boundaries. Shambhala is a place

where each individual part is united for the love of freedom and a

respect for others’ freedom, dignity and rights to be who they

naturally are, and right to live in private seclusion from prying and

judging eyes.  

   Shambhala is mythological and invisible to some only because it exists outside of the

dominion and history of a centralized city version of civilization. Shambhala is opposite the

way of the overpopulated river valley agriculture based civilization that is fought over; the

civilization defined by domination of others in the fervent pursuit of what is ultimately only

a false and dissatisfying idea of wealth and stately power. Shambhala is invisible to this ego-

self orientated perception of 'we' as a fearful people who labor in the delusion of threat and

fear of one another and in competition for erroneous gains; a civilization that is about

exploitation of cheap labor, class division, conscription, slavery, non-appreciation of our

natural resources and endless wars. Shambhala Village is the future, like the sun rising, it is

liberation, tranquility, bounty and enduring freedom and peace thru the sacred and ancient

high mountain way.
