More information, suggestions and advice on A Community Route

The only fixed suggestion made within the pages of A Community Route is that of the First Framework For Freedom.

However, over the 12 months preceding the publication of A Community Route, I have published a series of books that may also offer you guidance or help.

These books work through the process of how we got to where we are, what we are now facing and make some suggestions and provide ideas for how we begin to put the New World or New Earth together. They focus on starting now, surviving and thriving through the Great Reset, and then look at how we unite and come together to establish our new hierarchy-free and Grassroots-Up way of being that lies beyond.

They are:

Levelling Level

The People First Economy and The Basic Living Standard

From Here to There Through Now

The Way of Awakened Politics for Good Government

In early 2018, I also published How to Get Elected – a guide for Independent Candidates in Elections, which will help you if you are considering running to become a local councillor – at any level.

Two books, each containing 101 blogs that I wrote and published before the first Lockdown and throughout the Government response to the Covid Pandemic are also available to download, if you would like to catch up with what I was writing about then. (They are called ‘101’ and ‘202’)

All of these books are available to buy and download for Kindle from Amazon.

Most of the material I have written over the past decade, including the period surrounding Brexit and the Covid Pandemic itself, is available and published in the forms of my Blog which you will find at the following link: www.adamtugwell.blog

Thank you for reading. I am always very happy to discuss and learn with others and will be very happy to hear from you with questions, comments or any other kind of feedback. I will always do my best to respond to genuine contact – as quickly as I can.

If you would like to get in touch for any legitimate reason, please do so by email at acommunityroute@gmail.com

You will find me on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook – all @adamtugwell

Always do the right thing for everyone, not only for yourself or what you believe | Things to Consider | A Community Route

One of the most destructive ways that power and influence corrupts those who find themselves elevated into positions of responsibility for others, is that they very quickly forget that there is a very big difference between what is right for them and what is right for everyone else.

The two are treated as being synonymous from the level of parish, district and county councillors up to the office of Prime Minister itself. And the effects of anyone who makes decisions on our behalf losing sight of the difference, can easily have catastrophic consequences for us all.

Having a platform is no qualification for leadership. Leading other people is nobody’s right | Things to Consider | A Community Route

As we awaken or peel more and more layers away from the deception, it is natural to reach out or go in search of any credible and alternative voice.

The problem is that in a world that today values information and sources that are not local to us, rather than the ones which are and that we should trust, it has become easy to believe that voices with messages we relate to can be trusted in proportion to how many people follow them, share their posts or how many like they have.

Partial truths that overlook or hide the uncomfortable ones are always going to be popular, will be valued and will be liked.

But partial truths are not the full story, and if you want change to be real and to succeed, it naturally follows that there is a need to become aware of, to accept, understand and become comfortable with the truths that you are currently not.

Beware of false prophets. Meaningful change will not come as part of an easy ride.

“You don’t speak for us”, is a warning for all of us too | Things to Consider | A Community Route

It is very easy to get caught up in the praise and acknowledgement we have or that we receive from those who agree with or who appreciate our message.

However, there are a lot of people in the world, and a lot of minds to be changed, no matter how many of them may or may not be needed for ideas of change to reach any kind of critical mass.

The phenomenon of those in the public eye who insist that they speak for everyone, when it is clear that they don’t, is very real.

Don’t fall into the trap of believing that positive praise from very few is representative of how the majority already does or will ultimately feel.

Work hard and do the right thing at every opportunity, until the job is over and done.

If you are focusing on punishment and blame for those who have wronged us, you are missing the point | Things to Consider | A Community Route

There are many people talking about tribunals for things like ‘Covid Crimes’ and punishments being dished out for taking self-serving decisions that are hurting everyone else such as business leaders, politicians, members of the WEF and members of the so-called elites.

Yes, they may have done plenty of things that we can now see and understand as being very wrong.

But by focusing on what has already happened, rather than what happens next, you will be focusing on things that you cannot change, whilst wasting the opportunity to change the things that you can.

One of the secrets to getting everything right is not to let anger, emotion and frustration spoil a productive day.

Removing the people who are responsible for all of our problems and ensuring that our future can no longer be written by anyone who behaves in any way like them, should be the immediate priority for us all.

Ensuring that these people never again have the opportunity to enrich or benefit themselves at the expense of others will certainly be punishment enough.

Run away from anyone who says they have all the answers | Things to Consider | A Community Route

The answers, solutions, direction and the frameworks to get us through the Reset and into our New Earth or New World are for everyone to agree upon and to decide.

If you should experience any person, group or political party that tells you they have the answers, the knowledge, the experience or anything else necessary – without accepting the need for input, discussion and reference from anyone else, simply walk away.

They are doing the same things that got us to where we are now and all you will get by trusting them is a lot more of the same.

It could take 20 years for the Grassroots Revolution to happen overnight | Things to Consider | A Community Route

Please be patient.

It doesn’t matter whether you saw this all coming, whether you’ve just woken up, or whether you will be joining us at some later stage.

The process of change or transformation that some are calling The Great Reset, will not happen overnight.

The system and the circumstances that we are now in are so complicated, change will happen in what we may experience as significant events, but what will in practice is likely only to be happening bit by bit.

This may be a spiritual awakening. But the physical or 3D world has to play its part too | Things to Consider | A Community Route

Many helpful spiritual speakers have been framing the changes that are underway and The Great Reset as a Great Awakening.

This may indeed be so. But not everyone will experience this time of transformation in a spiritual or mindful way.

Of those who do so, many will awaken spiritually because of the experiences that they have.

The change we experience will ultimately be all about the way that the majority think.

Most of the people in the World look outside of themselves for all reference points. So, the world outside of them will have to change before they are ready to embrace the change that will be necessary for everyone inside.

The outcome will always be related to the effort made | Things to Consider | A Community Route

It would be wonderful if the whole process of change were to become unnecessary, because in one simple moment, everyone was able, ready and willing to change how they think.

The reality we face is that the change that is required of us all isn’t an easy one, and the greatest effort will be required of all those who have awakened to the true reality of all that we face first.

The result that we expect and are seeking is far from guaranteed, and if we don’t make the effort to embrace the requirements of the role that each and every one of us can play, there is no certainty or guarantee that we will ultimately succeed.

Ask people to change their minds by asking questions and learn to ask the same questions in many different ways | Things to Consider | A Community Route

Those who are resistant to change or have closed off minds find it easy to say no.

Ridiculing them or getting angry with them will not change their minds.

In fact, it is likely to only entrench their resistance and make the situation a whole lot worse.

The process of change that is necessary is reliant upon how everyone thinks.

People will only think differently if they are confronted with information that invites them to do so. Asking questions rather than making statements will always be the safest place to begin.

To change minds, share the message as a conversation. Don’t even attempt the hard sell | Things to Consider | A Community Route

People don’t buy anything if they believe that they cannot afford the cost.

A key part of spreading the word and changing minds before necessity starts to do the work for us is to remember and always bear in mind that the world that we are leaving is one where everything is about money and values are based on what money is involved.

Those who are still ‘invested’ or ‘bought in’ to the dying system, will quite literally see the change in the way of living that we must all embrace as one that will lead to loss. It will therefore be perceived as a change that they simply cannot afford.

People who have a different view that is embedded and aligned with who they are, will always respect a reasoned conversation rather than a sales pitch – especially if the first words you utter, would otherwise become the excuse to make you wrong and shut you down.

Talk to people as fellow humans and as adults sharing the same, but different experience. Use common ground to demonstrate credibility and the experience that gives value to who you are.

A win might not always be evident at the time. But if you have listened as well as spoken, and avoided doing anything that makes that other person wrong, your reason and truth will travel and have good effect.

We get to change the rules when we win. Don’t step onto the field of play until you understand what they are today |Things to Consider | A Community Route

Chaos and civil disorder could well lead to an outcome that is far worse than what we are experiencing already. It could easily deliver a way of living that it is safe to say that none of us could ever want.

The safest and most effective way to bring about and embrace effective change will be to play with and respect the rules of the game we are already playing, and that we will be playing, at that precise moment in time.

Whilst a collapse of civilised society or order would necessitate playing that game in a very different way, we must respect the way that democratic change can be delivered today.

We must and be fully committed to working with the system that we have until the very moment that it has become clear that the aim of change cannot be delivered by continuing to do so.

It may feel like it, but we are a long way from reaching that point, yet.

People will not vote for anyone, just because they decide to craft a message and turn up.

People want representation from bottom to top that they can trust.

People will only trust all of us together as a viable political alternative when they know that they are important, and they feel that they are valued and involved.

Engage the people. Take the Councils. Then take Parliament. Then and only then seek to change the rules to prioritise localism and community – Once you have legitimately taken power away from those who still believe it is their destiny to possess and to always be at the top – and will always do what they can to preserve it.

If you have to rely on fear to win, your victory will never be safe Things to Consider | A Community Route

Fear has been used as a weapon by the ruling classes and an establishment that the arrival of the New World or New Earth will soon allow us to replace.

Think about how the misuse of fear in the form of media messages, propaganda and rules that have been imposed upon you have made you feel.

You will never succeed in delivering any kind of meaningful change if the only way it can be achieved is by taking actions and using messages that achieve the very same.

The New World or New Earth will and must only be built upon trust, no matter how easy the misuse of information, messages, rules or actions might feel.

If the New Earth or New World is achieved with anything less than people feeling they had freedom to choose and that they gave their voluntary consent, the certainly of a happy, healthy, safe and secure future within a fair, balanced and just system that works for everyone will be lost.

The most effective revolution is the one you take part in without even realising you were there  | Things to Consider | A Community Route

Few have the ability to negotiate terms when they are surrounded by chaos.

Those throughout history who may have appeared to do so will have either had more than a generous helping of luck, or destiny played its part on their side.

No matter what you might believe or deem to be fair or just, given all that you have experienced up until now, civil disorder and unrest may feel right. But it is very unlikely to lead to a situation where everyone whose support you need will believe and trust that you have right on your side.

Whilst nothing less than a revolution is everything that we now need, there is no need for any of us to behave like revolutionaries to achieve the right outcome.

The majority will always accept the result of a revolution for the long term, when they don’t realise that they were taking part all along.

A word of caution: Peaceful protest is all well and good in a measured way. But a complete loss of control means that control is lost of everything for everyone for at least a short period of time.

If that happens, there is never any guarantee behind who will be next to take up power.

Whilst history books most often tell us otherwise, the result of the Russian Revolution of 1917 was never certain. It relied on what we might call a lot of luck for the Communists – which was from then onwards for Russia, many other surrounding Countries and millions of people – arguably what turned out to be a VERY unlucky thing.

Know yourself. Accept and be honest about your own limitations | Things to Consider | A Community Route

If we really want to help to shape and create a New World or New Earth that works well for everyone else, it is essential that we know, understand and are comfortable with who we are first.

Self-awareness is never an easy path to follow because those who have been teaching us up to now know the power of understanding others can only be learned in this way.

Mindfulness is only a step in the direction of all there is to know about ourselves.

By teaching yourself not only to become aware of how you feel, but also why you do things, and what led you to behave in that way, you will soon start to understand where your real strengths and weaknesses lie.

When you know your own limitations and have the peace of mind to own them too, you will not get in the way of others who can deliver the things for everyone else that you cannot.

Neither will you stand back and allow others to fail, when you know that you have competence that might smooth the pathway of success.

Use the people you can interact with, without barriers, as your reference points. Always trust what you can see and access in real life before you even put your faith in anything else |Things to Consider | A Community Route

Community and localism in its truest sense are the key to the Grassroots revolution and the New Earth or New World that comes next.

It is the people that we interact with in real life and that we have open access to communicate with who will always provide the answers, sounding boards and feedback that will help us achieve all that we need to succeed at to deliver what comes next.

Other sources will always sound deceptively real or credible because we are not exposed to them in a way that allows us to know the truth of who they really are.

Trust only that or those who are accessible to you, and are either already in, prepared to be, or are open to being involved in your life.

Don’t look forward using the building blocks of everything you know and understand now | Things to Consider | A Community Route

The change that is required of us all is about the process of creating a New Earth, a New World and a new future.

If we use what we know now as the reference point to create our future, all we will continue to do is keep looking back as we will still be living in the past.

The past is only a reference point that we must use to inform us of what we no longer want.

We must create and mold the future using only the things that work for us all.

If you believe that to win you must discredit the speaker, you are neither confident nor competent with your own case or cause | Things to Consider | A Community Route

If you are confident in what you know, you will never have cause to resort to shutting any opponent or anyone down who has an alternative view.

It doesn’t matter if they shout loudly, or appear to be stealing the show. A sound and confident argument made politely and reinforced in the same will always ultimately win, whilst anger and hatred exhibited or projected onto others never will.

Those who resort to ridicule, digging up stories and dirt that has no relevance to the discussion, or to discrediting your argument in any other way, simply cannot rely on their own position or the arguments about the subject that they are able to make.

Take comfort in that fact.

Don’t attempt to lead others if the only ideas you can lead with are your own |Things to Consider | A Community Route

If you are convinced that you are right or that the solutions you have are the right ones, you may also believe that you are the only person who has the ability to see things the way that you do.

If you believe this to be the case or you believe that you are the first person to see things the way that you do, you may believe that you should be the one who takes the lead.

We are now heading into a New World or to a New Earth where everyone works for everyone else, together.

So, even if the ideas that you have end up being some or even all of the ideas that everyone should agree with, everyone else must discuss and agree that they are the most appropriate ideas, first.

Leaders are not always the people who have the ideas. They are the people who know how to get things done by getting the right people with the right ideas together and then getting all the answers, solutions and outcomes that everyone needs.

Nobody is wrong. We are all the sum of our experiences at any moment in time |Things to Consider | A Community Route

Sadly, today’s cultural conditioning tells us that the accepted narrative is always right, and that when you know you are right, anyone who doesn’t agree with you or the narrative must therefore be wrong.

The reality is that all of us are the sum of our experiences.

Whatever we personally believe to be right – based upon what we have learned or experienced up to that specific moment in time – may well be right in our own minds. Yet the experience of the same subject or circumstances for anyone or everyone else may be very different, just because of whatever they experienced that led them to that conclusion first.

The reality is that we can all be right based on what we know. But at the same time also be wrong in respect of what is right for us all.

Never judge anyone – no matter how you might feel.
