I was reading Natural Behavior Permaculture Project – Foundation for Intentional Community (ic.org):

Second only to Love, we honor the sacred TRUTH of the singular empirical Reality, as self-defined by the corroborated objectivity of scientific method, rationality, and predictive sustainability, to the exclusion of *any* supernaturalistic deceptions, ancient or modern. There can be valid space for an honest spirituality, and we hope to foster that, but if you are “spiritual” in a literally “supernatural” sense, or if you promote pre-scientific alternatives to the legitimate discovery of objective truth, this is not your community, as we see this as a form of dishonesty against reality by elevating subjective imagination above the essential epistemic humility that underlies our productive curiosity for reality, as opposed to any fictional lie of claiming to “know” the unknown by subjective means.

My personal response is: watch Rupert Sheldrake’s ‘Banned’ Talk – The Science Delusion at TEDx Whitechapel (youtube.com) and realize what a pitiable corner you have painted yourself into.

The reddit discussion of this mission statement were not in favor of what they wrote, either:

What thoughts and feelings do you have in response to this stated mission value of a forming intentional community? I will mention the community name later so that responses are not skewed. : r/intentionalcommunity (reddit.com)
