The SOL Project

BASIC QUSTIONS & ANSWERS

For those not familiar with my written work, I want to take a moment to express the fundamental principle behind why I created the SOL Project: DHARMA.

We hear a great deal (repeatedly) about Karma--if we do something bad, something bad will happen to us. There's a great deal more behind this, to the degree that we might be putting the cart before the horse.

Every human being on this planet, came here to *offer* something to the overall experience of the collective. Something important. We did NOT just come here to experience the wrath or clearing of Karma.

If you're not familiar with the term DHARMA, I strongly recommend giving it a good google. In short, it means that in many respects, you and I are all integral peices of a trancendental puzzle, trying to put itself together through us. That is to say, not only are you and I the peices that each co-create the overall picture, but we consciously chose to BE those peices...there is no outside "puzzle person" trying to put it all together. This would be the same idea as dumping a 7 billion peice puzzle out onto a table called earth, and watching them "self-organize" because they know/remember where they all go.

This, is DHARMA--individual purpose or duty. Our individual purpose(s) or duties (contributions to the collective) have a two-fold purpose:

1. They allow us to experience this type of contribution, which in turn WE grow from for having played out, fulfilled, performed and experienced it.
2. These contributions are NEVER just for ourselves and our own growth; Universe doesn't make mistakes. There's no validity to the idea that there are puzzle peices here, that don't belong to this puzzle! We are here, in this moment in time, fully equipped to contribute in our own unique and special ways, because it is a *requirement* to finishing the collective puzzle we call humanity.

One of the first things this simple realization should teach us, is that throwing certain peices away because we believe they aren't equally as important as our own, is absurd. Not just absurd, but also entirely anithetical and detrimental to the entire collective and it's evolution. I'll provide some quick examples.

Can you imagine if trees refused to grow, because they would rather be grass? What if the Sun decided it wanted to be a Moon instead? Because the outcome of the full picture is entirely dependant on each peice playing it's proper part, it's not difficult to see how the refusal to do so can cause endless problems in a deeply layered and fully interdependant reality of existence. What if every incarnated soul who agreed to play the role of a doctor or healer, all decided to play baseball instead? Or the dolphins all decided to become moss?

There is another side to this equation, absolutely, and while the phrase is used often, Dharma is an all to often overlooked part: "Remember Who You Are". What i'm hoping people will consider, is not just who they are as eternal souls, but also who they agreed to be, here, in the material world.

Do you know what you came here to *give*? Do you know your purpose? And further, if we spent more time on understanding and performing our purpose or Dharma, how much "bad Karma" would there even be?

This is the fundamental, or rather intended, purpose of creating the SOL Project. Yes, the mission statement clearly says, "See a Need, Fill A Need," but there's a great deal of depth to it.

Sure, I don't have to be a 'chef' in this lifetime to feed my starving neighbors...that's a simple issue of morality and a need that almost anyone can fill. Yet i'm hopeful that each of you will take the time to discover, at the soulular (not cellular) level, why it is that you were designed the way you are!

Among so many other things, the Sacred Science taught me to understand that creation(s) all have a purpose, and one is NEVER more important than the others. They are all here, because they are all necessary...this includes you!

Having said that, do I dare claim that every member who has joined the SOL Project knows with 100% certainty that what they are offering, is what they were always meant to? I would never be so bold as to make that assertion, and here's why.

One of the other many lessons I learned, is that we don't always know who we are before we do the work and get involved, but rather we learn because we did the work and got involved. Maybe one if them was always supposed to meet you, and through that seemingly chance encounter, you would center one another. That's not only my hope, but my suspicion as well. :) I've seen it happen too many times to believe it's all coincidence.

Nevertheless, because again, the Universe doesn't make mistakes, some of our fellow puzzle peices have the unique ability to help us see which place or path is ours--that's where they fit in. If you would like help in this regard you can reach me via the Contact Page and I'll put you in touch with the individual that initially started me on my own path. She's exceptionally good at what she does, as some of you reading this may already know.

This project isn't merely centered on depending less on an artificial construct like money, and more on a self-balancing system like barter, but also about finding ways to coax people into gaining a deeper understanding of the Self in this life, what Self came to offer, and how the entire collective benefits from it.

Addtionally, the original intent behind barter, was equally focused along these lines in the sense that MOST people DO NOT BELIEVE they have anything meaningful to offer others. This has never been the case, and that's a BIG part of remembering who we are. If a transaction depended on two-way giving, both parties would soon be examing what they really have to offer the other. That can be a very centering exercise in itself. 

To that end, whether you feel you're ready to join the SOL Project or not, I hope you'll atleast take the others up on their own unique and heart felt offerings...

Blessings on your journey, wherever it may take you. -Crystal Clark
