Values

Eden-Builders share Infinite Love values

N°1 Value : Love

Love is understanding, respect and preserve the other, this is to realize that he is really another «ourselves».

This is starting from loving yourself that you can than be able to love others, because the other is really « us ». All living beings, all organizations have the right to be respected and listened, even if you do not share their ideas. Love is to understand and accept the diversity of life.

N°2 Value : Freedom

Every person, every universe, every organization has the right to live his truth and freedom.

Freedom: of action, freedom of movement, freedom of thought, freedom to believe or not to believe, freedom to be and to exist, any imaginable freedom as it does not violate or limit the freedom of another living being (plants, animals, humans, other ...). Any freedom as long as it respects the values ​​of love, equality and justice. Freedom to receive and freedom to give.

N°3 Value : Equality

All human beings, all minds, all universes are equal, no one is better or superior or inferior. Each universe is the experience of a truth that has the right to exist and thus receive what is necessary for its survival as well as its expression, insofar as it does not affect that of other villagers and is consistent with the values ​​and the charter of the village, as defined. Equality of peoples, persons, organizations, and all forms of life: humans, plants, animals, etc ...

Harmony is living respecting the equality of all and the right of everyone to exist, the right to be, the right to develop, the right to awaken.

N°4 : Accuracy

Eden Builders advocates righteousness, that is to say, the balanced approach, one that respects the interests of all parties. The fair is the equilibrium, respecting the interests of all. In order for the right to exist, we often have to watch the interest of the many rather than the interests of the ego of one. The search for accuracy is the search for the balance between the body, spirit and mind, and also the pursuit of relational balance between self and other.

Why Eden Builders ?

Why spend time working , spend time traveling to pay the right to have a roof over your head, clothes and food? All of which we are entitled , simply as human beings .
Even for those who have the chance to practice the profession of their dreams, their passion, is it certain that they would do the same if they were not obliged to pay the bills , housing etc? Is it pleasing to the artist or inventor to create custom order to join the two ends ? This for us is not life, but a parody of it.

We dream of a life where we are free, forced to do nothing in particular to have the right to be HERE , but having spontaneous desire to act and create, as contribution and growth are in the order of the Living , in our opinion.
Live at " full speed " as a celebration of this gift of life, give the best of ourselves and welcome others, share, meet, discover , travel, learn and communicate , celebrate , caring , dancing, singing , celebrate , eat a vibrant food, drink clean water and breathe clean air, live in the midst of a beautiful nature, the sun, in a climate that allows a summer lifestyle most of the year , respectful for planet Earth, more than respectful , in love with her :-)


Being surrounded by smiles and laughter, by enlightened beings ... Turn our life towards beauty, harmony, happy, light ... Live it full time. This dream is not a utopia according to us. That is why we are here! We will resume our account a sentence of Abraham Hicks :


"The basis (of incarnation) is freedom, the goal is joy."



This suits us well! May our whole life be a celebration the Living ! Such is the force that drives us.



We know that others share the same dream. What is difficult, even impossible to one, becomes possible to more.

And what if we stop dreaming ? and what if we do it?
