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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I've talked many times about how I am active on four different open-source, decentralized, sovereignty-driven social blockchains, Hive of course, as well as Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon. Of those four, I am most active on Hive (no-brainer), Bastyon, and Qortal, with friends across all of them, both those that are only on a particular blockchain, as well as those, who like me, that bridge multiple chains. While Hive is my primary focus, and likely always will be, each of these other sovereignty-driven social blockchains also has much to offer those willing to dive in and learn how things work.

I've always been a bridger of different worlds and domains, so it's rather fitting that I should also be a bridge between blockchains and their communities. Every one of them has notable differences from each other, as well as several surprising similarities. Bastyon, DeSo, and Hive all have a system of monetized voting on published content, though each one does so on its own unique way. Bastyon and Hive both have a reputation system, while Qortal has levels that are based the amount of time one has been running a minting node. DeSo, Hive, and Qortal all have their own version of an internal, decentralized market, which allows for the transfer of assets both within, and between, chains.

Qortal has the most differences from the other three blockchains, being quite another animal indeed. All its infrastructure is internal, with little to no reliance on external websites. Their idea is basically to create an entirely new and decentralized version of the internet. Earning QORT, Qortal's native token, does take a few more hoops through which to jump, but once everything is set up, it's quite consistent.

The income-generating potential of Hive is still the greatest among them, as their are so many diverse ways earn and grow assets here, which is part of the reason that it is my main focus. The assets that I generate on the other three blockchains will at some point be sent to Hive, to boost my growth (I've actually already done this once, with the PKOIN that I earned on Bastyon being used to fund my mega HPUD powerup to dolphin level on December 1st). If anyone would like assistance, advice, or suggestions in starting out on any of these other chains, let me know, as I'm always happy to help.

Today, Friday, is not only a very cloudy and rainy day, but also one in which I have had quite a lot to get done. Aside from my usual morning Hive tasks, I milked the cow with Jo(hanna), and I distributed IDD rewards for the Shadow Hunters Community Contest, since @borniet has been out of commission for over two weeks now (I'll likely be doing this at least until November, and possibly longer), all before I started on this post. Right after I publish this post, I've got my usual afternoon Hive tasks, and then I'm giving a session to Harmony at 1PM. I also have to take some photos for my entry in the Reflection Hunters Contest at some point today, as well as collect cow food before dark. So yeah, my day is rather full.

I left the Flow House yesterday, Thursday, around 2PM, first putting my attention on doing a load of session laundry, since I've been giving so many sessions lately, and I'm almost out of sheets and pillow cases for my massage table. I then focused on taking good batch of photos for these posts, and for my very-late entry in the Shadow Hunters Contest. With that done, I got a wheelbarrow and transported my massage table to the other side of the property, up to the Kuti, where Harmony has been staying since she arrived back at GYG, in preparation for her session today. Once I had that done, I got my machete and collected a wheelbarrow of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food. As soon as I finished that, I stopped by the Landing to grab my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and then I headed back to the Flow House to get into my evening round of Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I got everything done by around 10:30AM, and after some token management, writing and publishing My Entry for Shadow Hunters Community Contest/Show Me a Shadow: Round 344 - Variegated Bromeliad Shadows, and a quick scan of my X feed, I went to bed by about 11:30PM. Sadly I did not get a lot of sleep last night, so when I woke up around 8:30AM, I was still feeling like I needed a good deal more sleep. As soon as I woke up, I did a round of token management, started on this post, and then got out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee, and to go milk the cow with Jo(hanna). As soon as I finished that, I returned to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 12:30PM, so a very good time to end this post, so that I can wrap up my few important Hive tasks, go make Iolanthe some food (she just texted me), and then devote my time to Harmony's session. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my entry for the Reflection Hunters Contest later today (hopefully), and the next edition 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
