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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

In one of these posts not long ago I wrote about how it was Hive that had gotten me interested in photography, originally from entering myself in various photo contests, and how that interest has grown into a deep love and passion over the past 2.5+ years. Pretty much the exact same thing has happened to me in relation to money, investing, and finance. Before Hive I had little to no interest in these subjects, because, in my deep dives down many rabbit holes, I had learned about the absolute scam that is modern finance and central-bank-owned, debt-based fiat currencies. As such, I wanted as little to do with this area as possible. Hive changed all that for me.

I found myself in wonder and awe at Hive's sublimely efficient and effective financial elgance, that was based not on debt, but rather on our own human value, and because we owned our keys in this decentralized blockchain ecosystem, our monetary assets that we generated here belonged to us, not to banks or governments. Added to that the fact that there are almost innumerable ways to generate income on Hive, including passive income, and I was fascinated and enthralled, so I dove in deep, to come to know and understand this incredible sovereignty-driven framework deepiy and well, inside and out.

The longer I've been here, and the deeper I've gone, the more passionate and all-in I've become, as I've learned to leverage and grow my assets to ever-greater levels, both for myself, and everyone else on the Blockchain. I can hold a lot in my awareness, and I'm good with complex systems, so my mind is always percolating on how to best use the assets that I have available in the most effective and efficient way possible. This requires constant adjustments, tweaks, and refinements, of course, which is something that I actually tend to enjoy. Over my time on Hive, I've become quite good at generating, investing, leveraging, and growing my financial assets, and all because this is the most amazing financial system that I've ever seen or experienced, and it's fun to me.

Given that I have so much belief, love, and passion for Hive and its unmatched financial framework, I've taken the opportunity to invest outside crypto assets into the Ecosystem twice so far, totally around $3,000 in fiat value. The first were the assets that I made on Bastyon, that I used to do my massive HP power for the December 1st HPUD, and the second were the LTC that was gifted to me by a friend as a 'thank you' for some useful crypto-investing suggestions, that became my trading fund on Hive Engine. I plan to continue investing outside assets into Hive whenever the opportunity presents itself, because to this day Hive is the bar-none best investment that I've ever made, hands down. So yeah, it's totally because of Hive that I became passionate about money, investing, and finance, and there's no stopping me now on my path to becoming a Hive millionaire whale 🐳 fairy 🧚‍♂️, and to sprinkling goodness all over the Blockchain, and beyond!

Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House around 1:30PM, after finishing up my Hive tasks. Iolanthe had asked me if I could make some food for her again, so that's the first thing that I did. After making food for Io, I went to the Landing to strain out and blend kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), and I took more photos for these posts. For land work, I scoped out an area near the Flow House for a cinder and a mulch pile, then I got my machete and did a good round of clearing in the chosen area, as well as in two adjacent areas, where there are significant plants in the ground, a mamaki (sadly not a happy one), and my Mysore blackberry. I also got a few gallon pots of soil, into which I placed the leading growing tips of the blackberry, to propagate it. After work, I took a shower, went for a short walk down our jungle road, collected my quart jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and then I made my way back to the Flow House, to dive into my evening round of Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. I got everything done on Hive by a little after 10:30PM, and after a bit of engagement on Waves, and a quick scan of my Bastyon and X feeds, I went to bed around 12AM. Thankfully I did sleep very well, waking up just before 8AM, doing a round of token management, starting on this post, and then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee, and to take more photos in the beautiful morning sun.

It's now just before 1:15PM, so a marvelous 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 strain out and blend kefir, maybe take more photos, and then land work. I deepiy appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next expression of this post tomorrow! Always forward, onward, and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

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.
