I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #756 - 2 Years and 11 Months on Hive + More Exciting Developments - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Thursday, August 22, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

As of today, August 23rd (the post date is for yesterday), I've been on the Blockchain for exactly 2 years and 11 months. Just one more month until my 3-year Hiversary! That's pretty cool indeed! As I'm at the cusp of moving into my third year on the Blockchain, I find myself, as I've been describing in my recent posts, going deeper in the developmental work on Hive tipping bots that I've been doing with the incredible @borniet, which has engendered 3 new tipping bots and tokens so far, @indeedly/!INDEED/IDD, @hopelizer/!HOPE/HOP, and @weirdly/!WEIRD/WRD. We've been bouncing ideas of each other, and getting very inspired, motivated, and excited from what has come of this creative process. The idea for a MMB (Maximum Mutual Benefit) tipping bot and token has begun to coalesce and take shape. Oh my goodness is this going to be one badass project!

Last night (just before bed), in a wave of inspiration, the whole framework for the Maximum Mutual Benefit (MMB) Master Plan flooded into my mind. I sent @borniet a message on Discord just before attempting to go to sleep (yeah, that didn't happen, too much excitement...lol), to let him know I had an had an idea for MMB, but that I needed to get to bed, and that I'd describe it today. As I lay in bed, more clarity on the details began to fill my mind. I finally just had to get up around 1AM, turn on a light, and write my ideas down, before yet another attempt at sleep. This morning, I created a document, laying out the MMB Master Plan, with details about the MMB tipping bot and token, and the various levels of tipping and dividend benefits that each level provides. When I felt complete with what I had written, I saved the document as a PNG image, then sent it to @borniet in Discord. I have a feeling that he'll like it quite a lot, but we shall see!

One thing of which I am certain is that, if we are able to implement everything as I laid out in the MMB Master Plan (even just a portion of it actually), that y'all are going to freaking love it! For sure it's going to take quite a good amount of commitment, dedication, and consistent focus over time to make it happen, which should not at all be a problem for either of us, as we're both all-in for the long haul on Hive, with immense passion and love for the Blockchain to boot! We both want to make the Blockchain better for everyone, and we're beginning to do that, little by little, one step at a time!

I call it a Master Plan because, one, Maximum Mutual Benefit informs and orients everything that we do on Hive, and two, because I found a way to integrate the tipping bots that we already have, and any future ones, into it, as one of the benefits. Obviously there will be lots of discussion, and likely some adjustments, changes, and tweaks here and there, but this is shaping up to be one of the coolest Hive projects that I've ever seen! I've taken the aspects that I love about various tipping bots and income tokens, and put them together into one glorious synergy, that I think and feel is going to create some big Hive waves! Fancy some surfing?

Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, around 2:15PM, focusing first, as usual, on straining and blending kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao). With kefir done, I did a little photography for these posts, then I finally got to my main task of the day, hooking up internet to the Bali Hut (after moving the conduit path to a better location with Zai), which ended up flowing quite easefully indeed. Once I had the ethernet heads on the ethernet cable, I connected them to switches in the Casbah and the Bali Hut, then I went to get my laptop to test the connection, which worked exactly as intended. I finished up by finding a small corner table, and putting the switch on it so that it wouldn't be sitting on the floor. With my internet-setup task completed, I collected my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, then I made my way back to the Flow House, for my evening round of Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. Part way through that, I remembered that I hadn't submitted my entry for the Reflection Hunters Contest yet, so that's exactly what I did, just before getting into my notifications, My Entry for Reflection Hunters Contest: Round 181 - Timber Bamboo Reflections. Once that post was published, I dove head-first into my notifications, of which there were many, and they kept multiplying, so even after multiple hours, I had to finally stop around 12AM, still 4 hours behind. Oh well. Some nights are like that...lol! That's when the inspiration about MMB came into my mind, just before I attempted to sleep. Because I got up in the middle of the night to write down my ideas, I did not get much sleep, unfortunately, waking up around 8:30AM, doing a round of token management, starting on this post, then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee.

Just after writing the MMB Master Plan, and sharing it with @borniet, I finally began writing this post. It's now just after 1PM, so quite a good time to end this post, so that I can get to a few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House later in the afternoon, to first strain and blend kefir, take more photos for these posts, and then land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's iteration of this post! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

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.
