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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

We are in the throws of The Great Awakening, the greatest mass awakening in human history (real history, as opposed to the more common fake sort), and to say that it is an incredible honor and privilege to be alive during these exceedingly potent and transformational times is a huge understatement. Is it easy? No. Is it worth it? Yes.

While there have been many catalysts across many domains that have helped to spark and accelerate this worldwide awakening of humanity, there are two that stand out, the Internet and Blockchain technology. I would go so far as to say that Blockchain technology is just as significant in this collective human awakening as the Internet is, but for a different reason.

The Internet opened the door for people anywhere to connect, communicate, and share information. Because of this, the Internet is a major reason that the controlled echo chamber is failing and collapsing at an ever-greater pace now, as it has allowed people to circumvent it, and to find and share valid and important, and often censored, information. That is very significant indeed.

Blockchain technology, which is a decentralized, immutable leger of transactions, is an excellent basis for a both a financial and monetary system, and a voting and governance system. The greetest power of the Blockchain comes into play, however, when the private account keys are self-custodial, meaning that we own and control our keys, and therefore our assets, and we may use those assets however we please, without banks or governments having any say whatsoever. Because of this, blockchains like Hive give people anywhere in the world the opportunity to generate assets that allow them to surmount their local economic conditions. That is also very significant.

One other very important component, that just came to me, is the free and open-source community, of which Linux and the BSDs are an integral part, that allow people to create and develop their own technological frameworks in an open, transparent, and cooperative manner. That's the basis of Hive's community-driven development. These powerful uses of technologies, the Internet, Blockchains, the FOSS (Free and Open Source) community, and many other potent catalysts across various domains, have brought us to this magic moment in time of human awakening, empowerment, liberation, self-determination, and sovereignty. What a time to be alive!

Yesterday, Friday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, around 2PM, heading to the Landing first to strain and blend kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), since the lighting conditions were not ideal for taking photos. Once I finished kefir, I finally put my attention on photography. Even though the weather was not very conducive to good photography, I was still able to get a few good shots, thankfully. I need to take a lot more today. After my short photo-taking session (the sun disappeared behind clouds), I got my machete and collected a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food. With cow food done, I took a shower, then I headed to Tutu's to make some food for Iolanthe, at her request. I ended up hanging out with Io for a bit in Tutu's and up at Shiva-Shakti, and made my way back to the Flow House around sunset, to get into my evening round of Hive tasks, and to catch up on my always-overflowing notifications. Like the night before, I had a very large number of notifications, which took me quite a long time to get through, but in the end I finally succeeded, by around 12:15AM, at which point I did some quick token management, and then I went to bed by around 12:30AM. I did thankfully sleep well last night, waking up about 7:30AM, doing another round of token management, starting on this post, and then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee, and to milk the cow with Hans. Hans had been mentioning that his girlfriend's young daughter wanted to come to see Daisy on the weekend, so today Hans' girlfriend and her daughter were part of the cow-milking crew, which flowed quite well, very thankfully. When milking was done, and after I bid my farewells to my assistants, I returned to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 1:15PM, so an excellent time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to first focus on photography for these posts, and for my entry in the Reflection Hunters Contest, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my entry for the Reflection Hunters later today, and the next iteration 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. 

All photos were taken with my Motorola G Play 2024 Android Phone.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
