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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

For most people on Earth at this time it seems as if darkness is spreading ever-more quickly everywhere, in every country, with the future looking very precarious indeed. I would say, however, that this darkness is not something new at all, but rather has always been present under the surface and now, in these times of The Great Awakening of humanity, it is coming to to the surface, and being unveiled and revealed, for all to see. Things are not getting worse, the true reality of the situation that has always existed is finally fully coming to Light.

This collective process of Darkness to Light is being mirrored and experienced by everyone in some manner, and on all scales. Even here in my jungle community so many disturbing and unsettling things are coming into the awareness of those living here, myself included. I'll just say that we are in the midst of some very challenging dynamics and experiences, which definitely makes living here not so easy at all. I've been here for almost 6 years now, not counting the 5 months and 10 days when I moved off-properly, and while it has truly always been quite challenging for all sorts of reasons, over the past few months it has become increasingly more so.

I do my absolute best regardless, always, but man is shit hitting the fan. Keeping my focus on my own activities, especially what I do on Hive, has helped immensely to be able to handle and deal with all the mental-emotional chaos. Hive has helped me so much, and it's yet another reason why I'm so deeply grateful for it. It astounds me that I've been able to keep my focus and Hive commitments while being in the midst of all of it, but incredibly I have, because it's important.

One of the most difficult things to do is to is to have the courage to acknowledge and face our own darkness, both individually, in our families and communities, and worldwide as a collective. That's the only way, though, to bring that darkness back into the light, and to heal and reintegrate it back into coherent wholeness. No, it's not fun or enjoyable at all, but it is oh so necessary. I'm here for a reason, you are where you are for a reason, and it is our task to look at and accept the reality of how thing are now, to then be able to shift and transform them into something actually beautiful and life-affirming. No, it's not easy, at all, but that is exactly what we are all called to do at this time. Godspeed to us all.

Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, once I had finished my Hive tasks, just a little after 1:30PM. My main focus was some focused photography for these posts, and for my entries in the Shadow Hunters and the Reflection Hunters Contests, which very thankfully I was able to do. I returned to the Flow House in the early evening, to begin on my evening Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. I paused that to I attended the Monday community Logistics meeting, for the purpose of supporting others in addressing a concerning issue which had come to light. I finally returned to the Flow House around 8:30PM, to get back to Hive. I didn't get almost any sleep the night before, or last night, and I had a headache, both from that, and from the stress of the difficult issues with which this community is presently dealing. Because of that, I had to stop catching up on my notifications to go to bed, still 4 hours behind. Even with almost no sleep, I got up just after 5:30AM to go turn the generator on, as the solar electrical system crashed yet again. I did sleep a tiny bit in the morning after that, which helped, but I still felt very off.

I woke up again just after 8:30AM, and since a community meeting was scheduled for 9AM (to further address one disturbing issue), I skipped all my usual morning Hive tasks, like token management, and getting this post formated and ready to write, to immediately head to the Landing to make my superfood fire coffee, and then head straight away to the meeting. When that finally ended just a bit after 11AM, I made my way back to the Flow House quickly, to get my skipped morning Hive tasks done, and then to write this post. It's now just after 1PM, so a really good time to end this post, so that I can get to my usual afternoon Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House later in the afternoon, to first strain and blend kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), take more photos for these posts, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my entry for the Sahdow Hunters Contest later today, and the next expression of this post tomorrow! 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
