I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #810 - Calm in the Storm - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Tuesday, October 15, 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 everything on the world stage continues to accelerate and intensify, a similar process is unraveling and unfolding as well in this jungle community where I've lived for more than 5.5 years now. One of the most challenging things that I've found, both in tracking worldwide events now, and living here at GaiaYoga as of late, is being able to maintain a calm, peaceful, balanced perspective and state of being, in the midst of the unfolding chaos.

I'm doing my best, but it is incredibly not easy lately to be aware of everything that I am, both here this community, and in the larger world, and to be OK with, or feel good, about it, other than my absolute knowing that everything will indeed turn out more beautifully than any of us could imagine. I know that we're going to have to go through some quite difficult times first, however. There's a reason that I stay to myself off-grid in the jungle most of the time. I can only tolerate so much nonsense.

Maintaining calm and peace in the middle of a rapidly intensifying storm requires very intentional focus and determination, so that there is the clarity of mind to be able to make sound decisions. That's with what I'm working right now, and I know that I'm not alone in that. Keeping my Hive focus through it all is also quite a feat, which up until this point I've been able to accomplish. May it remain so moving forward.

Learning to love the unlovable is very much a part of this, as is summoning the courage to face darkness head on, and to do what is right. This is where solid boundaries around what is acceptable or not acceptable come into play, and why they are so important. Tolerance is good, but not at personal and collective expense.

We are at the edge of a completely new and mindblowing world of experience, one in which the next stage of our unfoldment, actualization, development, and evolution comes into play. The old world, with its systems of manipulation, control, and parasitic usage, must fall first, however. That's precisely what we're all witnessing around us, and around the world, in every community and country. It truly is the greatest honor and privilege to be alive during these times of radical awakening, transmutation, and transformation. It's also the most significant challenge-point our species has ever experienced, which is exactly the catalyst that is triggering the most profound collective awakening that the world has ever known. We can, and we will, surmount these immense challenges, by being the necessary calm in the storm, and standing up for ourselves and for each other. Together we are unstoppable.

Yesterday, Tuesday, I left the Flow House, after completing my Hive tasks, around 1:15PM, focusing first (since it was too cloudy for good photography), on collecting a wheelbarrow of Melochia leaves for cow-milking food, and then after a shower and a short food and token-management break, doing the dry-goods order down at Tutu's, for the Wednesday town run. With those two tasks done, and more sunny weather, I put my attention on a good round of photography for these posts. I returned to the Flow House in the early evening, to dive into my evening round of Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I had to pause that for a short time to go to Tutu's to collect the generator from Tutu's (that Ano was using to sand the floor), and use a wheelbarrow to move it back to Powersharing, to reconnect it to the solar electrical system, so I could give the batteries a boost to get through the night. Mind you, it is a very heavy object that I had never attempted to move alone, but let's just say that I am able to summon immense physical strength when necessary. When that was done, I returned to the Flow House, still sweaty, to finish getting through my notifications, which I accomplished by around 9:30PM, and after some token management, and checking in on my X feed for a while, I went to bed just after 11:30PM. Unfortunately I wasn't able to sleep well last night at all, even getting up around 4AM for a short bit to do more token management, before attempting to sleep once again. I finally woke up again around 8:30AM, definitely still feeling like I needed more sleep, doing another round of token management, starting on this post, and then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee. It's now just after 12:45PM, so a very good time to end this post, so that I can get to my few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House later in the afternoon, to first take photos for these posts, and some for my entry in the Shadow Hunters Contest, strain and blend kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), and then community/land work. Harmony returns to GYG today, after months back on the mainland, and she's already scheduled a session with me for tomorrow. Interestingly, another woman with whom I work in sessions, Emily, also contacted me about scheduling a session. When it rains, it pours, as the saying goes. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next incarnation 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
