I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #710 - The Fiat Threshold - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, July 7, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

In my post yesterday I talked about the fact that I now have a reliable local, non-KYC way of converting cash in hand into assets in my Hive-Engine wallet, with the potential also of going in reverse, converting Hive assets into cash. I also mentioned that I had already put into motion the conversion of $100 cash into an equivalent amount of SWAP.LTC in my Hive-Engine wallet (on my @tydyn.rain account), that I will likely receive this coming Saturday. This development is very exciting indeed, because not only will I be able to regularly boost my Hive account in various ways from cash that I make from giving sessions, but I've also found a way to use my Hive assets in my day-to-day world as well.

While this is excellent news to be sure, I'm also finding that I feel some trepidation around the idea, because up until this point I've never made any fiat investments into Hive. I have made two large investments of outside crypto assets that I either made on another blockchain, or that I was given as a gift, but I've so far never used cash that I've made, such as from sessions, to invest in Hive. My trepidation does not come from any doubt that I have about Hive, but rather from the feeling that by using cash to invest in Hive, that I'm somehow cheating, or buying my way to the top, by not getting there by my own efforts and ingenuity on the Blockchain. I prided myself on having gotten to where I am without having used fiat to do it.

The money that I make from sessions is from my work, however, assets that I've generated, and the idea of investing in this incredible Blockchain using such assets feels good to me. Also, given the fact that the US Dollar is on the verge of complete collapse, moving at least some cash that I have into usable Hive assets seems like a very good idea to me.

So I'm about to cross a boundary, a Fiat Threshold, where an open flow exists between my Hive assets, and my assets in the world. This is a big step, and one that brings with it a whole new era of growth and possibilities. Yep, that's pretty exciting!

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, quite early around 11:30AM, to first strain out and blend kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), and then to put my some focus into reflection hunting, for my Reflection Hunters Contest entry. Given that finding good reflections in the jungle is so challenging, I enlisted the help of my trusty portable mirror, which I used to take some pretty cool photos out on the Peanut Lawn. After taking those photos, I went to the Flow House to write and publish My Entry for Reflection Hunters Contest: Round 175 - Peanut Lawn Reflections post. Once that post was done, I spent some time walking around the property, and a fair way down our jungle road, taking photos as I went, in the lovely late-afternoon sun. After my walk, I spent some time sunbathing on the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn, and then I made myself a grilled-cheese sandwich with tomatoes and spicy brown mustard, which I thoroughly enjoyed. After eating, I planned on walking around some more, but the clouds blocking the sun lowered my motivation, so I just went back to the Flow House early, to get into into my evening round of Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. While I did get very close, I wasn't able to get fully caught up, before I had to go to bed around 12AM. I woke up around 8:30AM, still feeling like I needed more sleep, doing a round of token management, writing and publishing My 110th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: My First Fiat Investments into Hive Incoming! post, and then finally getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee a bit after 10:30AM.

It's now just after 12:45PM, so an excellent time to end this post, so that I can get to a few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House later in the afternoon, to first strain out and blend kefir, maybe take more photos for these posts, and then land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
