For me, non-manogamy is an issue for community. I feel that I want to live in an environment free of judgement and negative sexual mores. I also want to live in a community that is spiritually oriented to some basic degree, but non-denominational. In other words, with a group of like-minded individuals that basically agree not to judge each other over socially instilled norms that may or may not be relevant in a more perfect world not predicated on fear...(this gets highly philosophical.) But in actuality, most of our social/sexual mores of today are predicated on fear, not love. And children growing up in this environment are confused; I know I was. Only once I started to grasp that I am a many faceted human being with many drives and desires to be balanced did I realize that most of what we consider "normal" is simply the path of least resistance and that we have institutionalized denial that this is the way we really want things to be. It comes down to expression. Sexual expression. Spiritual expression. How tolerant are we willing to be as a group? How much are we willing to stretch such that we can grow? I need some very special people for my community; people that have dealt with and are aware of fear issues (the many manifesta- tions;i.e., jealousy, bigotry, insecurity, self-image, control issues) and are ready for THE NEXT PHASE OF HUMAN DEVELOPEMENT. Prince calls it: New Power Generation. The above is tempered with the truth we are all at different places in the path of self-realization. The best I may be able to start with is a group of tolerant people that agree not to get judgemental and are willing to stretch in order to grow as individuals and a community of loving friends. If I can't have that, I'm not interested. Jeff-
