I walked into my thrift store. Objective simple: secure a table. At the time we were hosting a little Divini booth on the first tee box at Talking Stick. Single Moms Action. I couldn’t stand pulling up with a white foldable table, so here we were. I locate the prospect in the back of the shack. A “Large” man BEGINS a conversation, he halts the interrupting speech of the little hobbitress worker with an enormous open palm to the face. “Why did you use the word, ‘dimension’?” he says to me. I breathe deeply and formulate an answer that makes sense to the mind but not to his ears (the heart). “is this table boring?” He asks. “you chose this because it’s exciting, there are levels to it. This is very important when choosing our partners” he says. He dips. I’m flabbergasted. (I had been surface level thinking about dating a woman for the previous few days). This was raw footage for the highlight reel. So that’s what we have here folks: Multidimensional.
Multigenerational, as in multigenerational housing, is a new human. A perspective that feels the access to the knowledge from nearly all cultures from all times. Here, Man is a free thinker, and once again a man of action born from the scientific method. Multigenerational housing though, don’t forget, originates from the Blue Zones. It’s where you live with the whole family tree. Get schooled by a five year old, your dad, your nana, and your great Nona all in one day. (That’s knowledge in action, which is Wisdom, which is Power.)
The cool thing about these “Multigenerationals” is that sometimes they’re 24, like Jack. “Old Soul” or Earth Neophyte, sometimes they’re 83 like Fushimi — Multigenerational is a way of life, not an age. This new archetype of man has the capacity to combine the coolest archetypes in time, ninja, cowboy, surfer, in BOTH philosophy and in action. To get here though, one must navigate through the seas of memetic distraction to make one of Life’s ultimate decisions: What do I want to participate in?
When this topic comes up, and it does often because it matters so greatly, I bring up Ikigai. Here it is again, for any new multigenerationals around here, because maybe it’s news to you. If this “Ikigai” is news to you, it may just save your entire life. Let me spare you the search; just read this out loud, “I just looked up Ikigai. You’re telling me there’s a way to make cash and do good stuff for the world by doing the stuff that I enjoy and am skilled in? Count me in.”
Our Ikigai is a choice, and yours is too. We’ve chosen to re-install the North Star for many: The Evolution of the Human Spirit through Experience. This is an evolving approach to life, but the premise is the same across the board. Through all facets of human life, how can we make things more fun, and effective? These being the two things that bring us all closer to each other, and therefore closer to God. Through how we use land, how we get around, how we interact, how we make things, how we provide value for each other; Funmaxxing with effectiveness is our craft. We forever boil down these questions and create the answers. Multigenerational for the Multidimensional. So where does it all come together?
Well, it’s where the three join to become one, kinda like Power Rangers. It’s where the Third Place becomes The One Spot, IF you do it right. (When WE do it right? Go check out our Proof of Concept on Camelback road, courtesy of the Divini People.)
Look at this image^. If you find yourself asking “What am I looking at?”, or as Max Xander likes to reply to Jackson, “English, plz”, just read the following statement a few times:
