I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1158 - A Whirlwind Monday - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, September 28, 2025

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 6 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Today is a bit more of a full Monday than usual, as aside from writing my Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update, writing this post, doing a few Alive Tribe tasks, and asset management, I also have a session scheduled for 1:30PM today. I really try not to schedule sessions on Mondays, since I generally have more to do, but since Ceej wanted a session, I found a way to make it happen for her.

I'm also juggling and keeping track of Alive Tribe activities, as well as doing my best to make sure that everything is ready to go to begin distributing HIVE in the daily ALIVE dividends, and to distribute double the amount of HIVE to HP delegators, on Wednesday, October 1st. The exact timing depends on when @borniet has sufficient time to make the changes to the payout scripts, since the HIVE is already where it needs to be. Fingers crossed on that.

Because I'm giving three sessions this week, I need to be very focused and productive with my community/land work this week, as I don't have time to get any done on session days, so I'll be down 3 of 7 days. That also means that I will likely not go out again this coming Sunday, but we shall see.

One thing that I'll mention about the layer-2 tokens in the daily ALIVE dividends, and about the weekly payouts to AP delegators, is that the changes to the payout scripts are still being tweaked and refined, so the larger quantities of tokens that I've been mentioning are coming, haven't quite kicked in yet. That will be done as soon as Bjorn has some time, which will hopefully be very soon.

Going out for Sunday Funday yesterday was nice, and I'm glad that I chose to go. It felt good to dance again after so long at the ecstacic dance at Kalani, and I certainly worked up a sweat. It was obvious to me, however, that although I can dance by myself just fine, that I don't really know how to dance with other people, particularly women, any longer, for a few reasons. This applies to both actual dance, and to how I flow (or not) with women that I find attractive in my daily life, and especially when I go out. I don't ever initiate anything or approach women any longer (other than for purely logistical reasons), because honestly I can't really imagine any women to whom I'm deeply attracted would also be attracted to me, as it's been over 3 years since I've experienced that. That part of my masculine is utterly broken still. So while going out was a good thing, I still stayed alone, doing my own thing, for much of the day. There was so much beauty around me, though, both in nature, and the lovely Lower Puna ladies, which I did appreciated, though one left me with notable inner angst. It's only in the context of sessions, where I am in service to the feminine, that I flow well with women in a way that feels good to me. I don't know if or how that will ever change. I'm the epitome of the wounded healer.

Yesterday, Sunday, as y'all know by now, I went out for Sunday Funday with some GaiaYoga people with whom I feel closer. I had to write and publish the previous version of this post the night before, instead of yesterday morning, because we were planning to leave quite early, by 9:30AM. Everything went according to plan, and we got to our first destinations, the Natch (the Pahoa natural food market) and Kālani (for ectastic dance), much earlier than expected. After a whole lot of dancing, we headed off to the beach (our beloved clothing-optional, black-sand beach, Kehena), where we stayed until the late afternoon, after which we made our way down the road to the Lawn, for community festivities, until around 7PM, when we finally headed back home to GaiaYoga. We got back just after 8PM, and after saying my good-nights, I made my way back to the Flow House, to finally begin my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. Even though I started much later than usual, I was thankfully still able to get everything done by just after 10:30PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed a bit after 11PM. I woke up around 6AM, having slept well, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, returning to the Flow House to write and publish My 174th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: 13,800 HP Surpassed, Probably 13,900 HP This Week, and HIVE Coming to Daily ALIVE Dividends October 1st!, then to start writing this post. It's now just before 11:45AM, so it's quite a lovely time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my other few important Hive tasks, before preparing for the session that's scheduled for 1:30PM. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's iteration of these posts tomorrow afternoon, and my HPUD post tomorrow evening (or the next morning)! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2025 Life Goals

1.) Do regular integral practices again, alone or with others.

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

3.) Make my plant nursery, and the gardens, beautiful again.

4.) 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
