2/11: New Location Vision

This is a list of the Visions shared in response to the question "What is God's Vision for our new location?

We recorded these to the best of our ability and we hope they read well. Each bullet point represents a new voice. There are questions at the end of this post for you to comment on.

Consider your o'hana's Vision from 2/11:

  • Unity Village on Maui - residences, sound system, rental hall, church hall, offices, edible gardens, keiki house, running water, and a democratic form of government.
  • A big goblet, overflowing with water. The old water is releaseed, and an endless supply of pure water overflows so that we can all share.
  • New building in North Kihei behind the Tesoro on the road that will eventually lead to Pukalani. The building looks functional outside, but it is beautiful inside. Lots of light, and you can smell new paint and carpet. There is a solar-powered water feature out front. It is very new, and very functional.
  • North Kihei, high above the Piilani Hwy, near Lipoa. Large piece of land. We were building our buildings, but in the meantime using tents. There were lots of flags, like circus flags, colorful ones, strung up. Lots of grass, very green, children running and playing.
  • Lots of palms and birds, a place for o'hana. We have arrived! This is something we'd see and say "Oh, how fabulous!" It's much more magnificent than we currently see. We'll know more by June or July. We'll have a sense of where it is. So much love and togetherness - it's overwhelming with joy.
  • Larger, place for all people, a short-term plan will bring us to a place where ample funds are here. Others will come.
  • Kihei. Lots of nature. Close enough to nature to feel like it's ours, even though we don't own it. It's not developed - existing beauty - perhaps a subdivision gift to them when we engagein it. Like a partnership. Near a golf course?
  • Song of David: green pastures in the Valley of Maui (didn't get whole psalm)
  • Stay where we are for now.
  • Join with the community of Maui for functions more.
  • Take our cameras and go out into the community and thank them for everything they do for God.
  • Big piece of land with homes, wellness center, worldwide LOVE MAGNET.
  • Build our own place. Financing is available. We will be able to swap our building for land to build upon.
  • Very tall clear glass (wall?) with sun radiating through it. It's like a window. There's water, and everything outside is verdantly green. There's lots of life around. Easy access but set away from busy-ness. Quiet except for wind and birds. I also saw Kihei, but closer to Wailea, and up the hill, on par with/same altitude as Maui Meadows.
  • Heard lots of water running.
  • Be patient, it's coming, get your house in order.
  • Trust and seek.
  • Big benefactors are coming who want a tax writeoff. Also, working with clients came to mind - who are criminals - how the criminal mind gets what it wants. It tells it's story without ever asking for anything - which makes others feel like they just WANT to give and give. That's how they get what they want, and it could work for us, too. If we share what is going on with passion, no duty, no guilt, they will want to help us.
  • Huge choir sending out ripples of love. Slopes of Haleakala/Kihei also. Natural amphitheater, everyone singing.
  • Open to office building (existing) with large meeting room.
  • Big beautiful piece of land we could have people buy homes there, already have people coming - lavish flow. We're the love magnet on Maui. Add others to grow with us. In the interim, people buy in. The more we talk about it and enlist and tell them our story, the more they show up.
  • Short term, we should look for a Waikapu feeling (not location). Everything is focused and centered. We need to find a way not to be so fragmented.
  • Begin at the beginning, essence of pioneer feeling, Vision created as huge community of love "UNITY CENTER" not Unity Church?
