I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #679 - Hive Is the Real Deal, and a Hidden Gem - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Thursday, June 6, 2024

I live naked and barefooted, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i, and I have for more than 5 years now. Although there are many challenges, I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

It boggles my brain that Hive is not immensely more utilized than it presently is, because to me it's self-evidently brilliant, both in its technology, in its ethos and principles, and its absolutely incredible potential and practical application to help humanity. It has one of the most elegant and efficient versions of money and a financial system in existence, and it is also one the most effective and lucrative frameworks for investments. On top of that, because it is freely available to anybody, no matter where they are in the world, it puts everyone on the same economic footing, which gives people the opportunity to rise above and surmount their local economic conditions and situations, and all outside the control of banks, corporations, and governments. That in and of itself is huge! And yet, at most we have several thousand consistently active accounts. Sheer craziness.

Yes, people do need to work to succeed (maybe that's the 'problem'...lol) on Hive, but the opportunities and potentials are very real, and are ready and ripe for the taking by those that commit and dedicate themselves to building, growing, and saving on this truly exceptional Blockchain. As we've all seen, many people come and go, but only a small number of all-in die-hards like myself dive in and give it their all over the long term. We can tell people all the time just how amazing Hive is, and what's possible here, yet our words seem to fall on deaf ears most of the time. People are so accustomed to too-good-to-be-true scams, that when they are offered a real-deal opportunity, they don't recognize it for what it is, and dismiss it out of hand.

My undying love, passion, and belief in Hive, even after close to three years here, is due to the fact that I've been able to clearly see and experience, day in and day out, that what we have here is authentically incredible. This makes it all the more surprising to me that, even with such glaringly-obvious and freely-given real opportunities, so few people are able to see and take advantage of the hidden gem offered to them. Luckily I don't give a rat's ass what other people do, I trust my own assessment and discernment, and I'm quite used to doing my own thing in my own way.

Hive is a hidden gem, not so much because we want to stay out of the limelight and public eye (although that most certainly has many benefits, especially now with such blatant and egregious governmental overreach), but rather because it is not mentioned by big, well-known influencers, which is sadly how most people are motivated to try something new. As you might guess, I really don't care what such 'influencers' have to say. I look into things and research for myself, and I make my own decisions based on what I find. That's how I found and came to Hive. I onboarded myself. Yes, we would all benefit from a lot more people being active and engaged on Hive, but regardless of whether we have few or many people here, I'm unwaveringly all in for the long haul. Perhaps you'll join me.

Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House just a little after 1:30PM, after finishing my Hive tasks. As is usually the case, I put my focus on straining out and blending kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), before getting into anything else. I had hoped to take more photos for these posts, too, but the gray clouds did not support that. I was able, however, to get a few, here and there, when the sun made an appearance. For land work, I did more clearing work with my machete around the Landing and the Peanut Lawn. Once I finished clearing, I took a shower, since I thought that I was done, but alas, that was not the case. One 'small' weeding task turned into a rather massive undertaking, that kept me occupied for at least another hour or so. I got a lot done, but in reality I barely scratched the surface of the can of worms that I opened. I plan to continue weeding and clearing in this area over the next few days, possibly several, to get it looking good again. Plants grow fast here, which is both a blessing and our greatest challenge. After my second round of work, I took another shower, collected my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, then I went for a short walk down our jungle road. I headed back to the Flow House right after that, but felt the urge to move my body more, so I went for a quick run, a little farther down our verdant road, which felt fantastic. Once my need for movement was met, I made my way back to the Flow House again, to finally get into my evening Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. I completed everything on Hive just a bit after 10PM, and then I did something outside of my usual, I spent a good bit of time exploring and engaging on Ecency's Waves, which I actually quite enjoyed. I think I'm going to make it a more regular thing. I made myself go to sleep my 12AM, and I did sleep well, waking up at 5AM, doing a round of token management, then going back to sleep until 7AM, at which point I started on this post, then I got out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee.

It's now just before 1:45PM, so a great time to end this post, so that I can get to my few important Hive tasks, before allocating a little time to doing some focused body and energy work on Robert, a new fellow in the community, who wanted to experience what I do. After that I'll strain out and blend kefir, maybe take more photos for these posts, then land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next iteration of this post tomorrow! Always forward, onward, and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

2024 Life Goals

1.) Heal my broken heart, reignite my heart sun, and embody a solid, healthy masculine, allowing my electric fire to shine bright, no matter what others, especially women, say or do. 

2.) Bring myself and my life back into balance, integration, and wholeness. 

3.) Do regular (naked) integral practices again, alone or with others. 

4.) Dance regularly again.

5.) Work with natural entheogens (mushrooms, ganja, ayahuasca), with punctuated regularity, as a part of my healing process again. 

 6.) Get, and keep, regular deep, integral energy-body-tantric work healing sessions for women flowing again.

7.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again. 

8.) Make my plant nursery beautiful again.

9.) Live as an integral part of a juicy heart-resonant soul tribe community, with deep, coherent mutual and shared passion, purpose, mission, love, warmth care, sweetness, reverence, respect, aliveness, admiration, excitement, enjoyment, playfulness, work, fun, laughter, attraction, and all-level connections and relationships. 

10.) Make love with the woman, or the women, that I love, every day, as a sacred devotional practice. 

11.) Begin learning relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute to the sovereignty-driven technologies where I am active, like Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon. 

All photos were taken with my Motorola G Play 2024 Android Phone.

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
