What One Community is working on right now is arguably some of the most important developmental aspects of the entire project. We are a dedicated, organized, and professional team contributing weekly to an ever-evolving action list and seeking others excited to create this with us. The minimum anyone on this team can expect to contribute is about 10 hours a week and we have spent the last two years fine tuning how to work together for maximum effectiveness and developing a results based monitoring and evaluation process and Performance Management Template into what they now are: productive, efficient, and  ongoing foundations for collaborative team leadership skills development.

TWO NEW PAGES WE’VE CREATED TO OPEN SOURCE SHARE OUR INTERNAL PROCESS

The first is our Results Based Monitoring and Evaluation Process page created to share:

• How this system is foundational to the phase of creation we are in no
• What makes up the minimum time investment expectations for being a Pioneer
• How we use “tangible contribution” to maintain focus and productivity on our priorities

The Second is our Performance Management Template for conducting 2-directional monthly performance management reviews. There are three primary team building objectives for this template and the monthly performance reviews we conduct:

1) Individual gives feedback to the Review Facilitator regarding community performance/experience
2) Review Facilitator(s) give feedback regarding individual’s performance
3) Facilitator and Individual co-create strategy for improvement of both #1 and #2

One Community’s sustainable energy infrastructure is just one aspect of our blueprints for self-sufficient and self-propagating teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities strategy to be built around the world. Just as we will be showcasing a diversity of eco building methodologies and alternative food production options, so too will we showcase a diversity of alternative energy methodologies ranging from traditional generators to solar, wind, and newer technologies as they become available. Our initial system to supply for the energy needs of Pod 1, our aquaponics systems, and the Center of Peace community center is a tried-and-true 283 kWh photovoltaic solar power system.

This blog post is to open source the process used to design this system. For complete One Community energy details including pricing, assessment of other systems, and how we intend to meet our needs before this system is up and running:

OUR PROCESS OF ARRIVING AT OUR PV SOLAR SYSTEM

Electric power requirements (see below) have been estimated by JP Novak of Build Native.com. The above system was then designed by Doug Pratt applying his 27 years of solar design and installation experience to confirm these estimates (below) seem reasonable. Estimating how people will use power in advance is always a guessing game. Humans are nothing if not variable and we anticipate that this system will almost certainly require some fine-tuning. We also anticipate that our group will learn from experience and probably become more energy aware and conservative with time. To help us gather data and fine-tune our process as part of our open source sharing, we will be using simple metering on all pods and the aquaponics systems. By doing this we will be able to identify “energy hogs” and share this data, our solutions, and the objective energy saving results of our solutions.

The total electrical use for Pod 1, aquaponics, and the Center of Peace community center, on a yearly average, is estimated to be 282.5 kWh per day. This is the figure used to size the solar electric system. In addition, all the AC appliances that were likely to be on simultaneously were totaled up. These included a percentage of lights, laptops, microwaves in the pods, along with all the aquaponics hardware, and most of the kitchen and community center lighting and hardware (including the hot tub). This max AC surge was about 76 kW and was the figure used to size the inverter pack.

There are a broad diversity of people claiming to have created the next generation of renewable green energy and One Community, like many people and organizations, is skeptical and cautious when engaging this subject. The fact remains, however, that just one significant breakthrough in new renewable energy or alternative energy technology has the possibility to transform life for all people on this planet and we consider this very much for The Highest Good of All. With this in mind we took a serious look at 1Stop Energies and their Vortex Energy Coil Technology, put skepticism aside, and chose to partner with them (click here for their Partnership Bio) for four primary reasons:

• They free-share detailed instructions for duplication of their coil
• They use a broad diversity of videos and approaches to demonstrate the validity of their technology
• They want to come to the property and work with us on a live demonstration when we are ready
• Daniel is beautifully authentic to talk to and exhibits a clear desire to make a difference in the world

Already having plans for traditional energy infrastructure to completely power Phase I of our build, we are excited to work with 1Stop Energies to bring their Vortex Coil Technology to One Community’s building of Pod 2 so we can explore together and specifically measure and document how their technology can increase efficiency through integration with a large-scale solar panel and battery bank array like ours.

DIY ALTERNATIVE ENERGY TECHNOLOGY

For the do-it-yourselfers, here is how to make a Unification Coil so you can test the vortex energy field and this technology for yourself:

ABOUT 1STOP ENERGIES AND THEIR VORTEX TECHNOLOGY

Founded by Erica & Daniel Nunez, 1Stop Energies and The Vortex Coil Technology was “started as a simple sustainable nightlight project” researching energy efficient motor/generators based on open source information attainable through internet searches. What it turned into was a drive and passion for changing the way electricity is generated and utilized currently in the world.

Erica and Daniel became interested in sacred geometry and the concept of solid-state energy production after viewing the complexity of previously constructed magnet generators; which seemed to use too many parts for practical at-home development. This led to the exploration of Vortex Based Mathematics and the works of Marko Rodin, which were refined by Randy Powell; where the concept is presented that repeating number patterns create toroidal space. These understandings were also uncovered by a number of influential people including Dan Winters, Nassim Haramein, Nikola Tesla, CERN Physics Researchers, and many others working in the field of platonic solids. By intuitively redesigning the Vortex Coil geometry and framework, Erica and Daniel were eventually able to control and ensure geometric precision in toroidal space. Establishing this foundation and a new level of precision, they began testing different wiring algorithms and creating custom circuitry to understand, replicate, and further demonstrate their findings and applications for both on and off-grid uses. Now with 4 years or research and development, they invest the majority of their time exploring and replicating their results; exploring large and small scale uses, and posting their findings to the internet community in an attempt to raise awareness and peak interest into the possibilities of this technology.

Renewable Energy or Alternative Energy: Another Approach

The result of the Vortex Coil they created, and demonstrate repeatedly in their videos, is a greater output of energy than the input once tuned to the correct frequencies. There explanation of this is the unique design of the Vortex Coil that allows energy to be focused in the condensed center-most point, which allows the amplification of electrical performance in a highly efficient manner. Because of that, Daniel and Erika see the possibility of a future where any and all coils on the market could potentially be replaced by a vortex coil once further research and development is complete.

Right now the primary application of the Vortex Coils is to light and sustain LED or Fluorescent bulbs for weeks at a time while requiring a significantly reduced energy input.

Vortex Based Mathematics

The explanation for how the vortex coil works is based on Vortex Based Mathematics used to describe universal ‘natural pathways’ or ‘flow paths’ existing in the physical 3D space we all inhabit. Mimicking these pathways reduces resistance in a way that is currently best described by entering into the (considered by most as more esoteric) fields of universal harmonics, implosion physics, sacred geometry, and number sequencing.  Because these things are less understood and accepted by mainstream science, Daniel and Erika are the first to agree that continued alternative energy research and development of this technology is needed. This is what they are doing, supporting by open sourcing and free-sharing how to duplicate what they have created thus far, and what they see as the necessary road to global integration of this technology as one very viable path into a sustainable way of living.

One Community founder Jae just booked a radio show interview for the week after next. We’ll record it next Tuesday and it will air on three ecologically conscious programs on three different radio stations in either February or March. Two of the radio stations are in California and one is in Texas. Unlike the internet radio shows we have done in the past, we are not sure if we will be able to post a link to the recording of the interview here, but if we can we definitely will.

Very exciting!

1Stop Energies (Daniel and Erica) www.1stopenergies.com

1Stop Energies is engaging one of the most controversial sectors of sustainability: new renewable alternative energy technology. They have an extensive selection of videos demonstrating the usefulness and effectiveness of a new Vortex Coil they have developed to “raise the efficiency of most devices on the market.” Aligning with One Community’s open source values they have also already free-shared the designs for duplication. Once our traditional energy infrastructure is complete for Phase I of our build, 1Stop Energies has pledged to bring their Vortex Coil Technology to One Community’s building of Pod 2 so we can explore together and specifically measure and document how their technology can increase efficiency through integration with a large-scale solar panel and battery bank array like ours.

BEAUTY TIPS

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you’ll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anybody.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.

It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows.
And the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.

THERAPY FOR THE SOUL

May you be blessed with all things good.
May your joys, like the stars at night, be too numerous to count.
May your victories be more abundant than all the grains of sand on all the beaches in all the oceans in all the world.
May lack and struggle only serve to make you stronger.
May every pathway you choose lead to that which is pure and good and lovely.
May every doubt and fear be replaced by a deep abiding trust as you behold evidence of a Higher Power all around you; when the storms of life are closing in, may the light at the core of your being illuminate the world.
May you always be aware you are loved beyond measure and may you be wiling to love unconditionally in return.
May you always feel protected and cradled in the arms of Creator, like the cherished child you are.
And when you are tempted to judge, may you be reminded that we are all one. And that every thought you think reverberates across the Universe, touching everyone and everything.
And when you are tempted to hold back, may you remember that love flows best when it flows freely.  And it is in giving that we receive the greatest gift.
May you always have music and laughter, and may a rainbow follow every storm. May gladness wash away every disappointment.
May joy dissolve every sorrow, and may love ease every pain.
May every wound bring wisdom, and may every trial bring triumph.
And with each passing day, may you live more abundantly than the day before.
May you be blessed and many others be blessed by you.
This is my heartfelt wish for you.

P66 Mother Teresa

“Do it Anyway”

People are often unreasonable,

Illogical, and self-centered;

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind

People may accuse you

of selfish motives;

Be kind anyway.

If you are successful,

You win some false friends

And some true enemies;

Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank,

People may cheat you;

Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building,

Some could destroy overnight;

Build anyway.

The good you do today

People will often forget tomorrow;

Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have

And it may never be enough;

Give the world the best you have anyway.

You see, in the final analysis

It is between you and Creator;

It never was between you and them anyway.

-Mother Teresa

P73 Ohiyesa, Santee Sioux (partial)

Silence is the

Absolute poise or

Balance of body,

Mind, and spirit

p83 Deepak Chopra

“Peace on Earth begins one heart at a time.”

p83 Mahatma Gandhi

“There is no way to Peace; Peace is the way.”

p86 Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth

You are not the ego, so when you become aware of the ego in you, it does not mean you know who you are-it means you know who you are not.

Acknowledging that is already in your life is the foundation for all abundance.  The fact is: Whatever you think the world is withholding from you, you are withholding from the world. You cannot receive what you don’t give.  Outflow determines inflow.

Code of Ethics for the Spiritual Warrior

Be honest, work on yourself, live your truth, don’t use others, make mistakes, make amends, listen to feedback, move past defensiveness.  Become a …..Spiritual Warrior.

p94 Dead Sea Scrolls, The Essene Gospels

Your Mother loves you even when you turn away from Her.  And how much more shall she love you, if you turn to her again?

p96 www.whale.to/c/ten_native.html

Here are the Ten Commandments for Earth children:

1. Mother Earth is our Mother; care for her.
2. Honor all your relations.
3. Open your heart and soul to the Great Spirit.
