I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #745 - Rolling and Flowing with the Hive Waves - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, August 11, 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 anyone who's been active on Hive for a while is well aware, Hive is in a constant state of flux and change. Some of these waves of changes are fun and fantastic, while others can indeed be downright disheartening. Regardless of the nature of these Hive waves, I roll and flow with them all, adapting, adjusting, experimenting, exploring, tinkering, and refining as I go. My belief in, passion for, and commitment to Hive are rock solid, so whether I like particular changes or not, I continue on my way, determined and unfazed.

One very important lesson that I learned early in my Hive journey is not to get so attached or fixated on any one particular thing, whether individual, community, or dynamic, because when I do, I am hit far harder when change comes. Some people are affected so greatly by certain shifts that they choose to leave the Blockchain. Although I do understand this, it saddens me, because regardless of the particulars at any given time, the base technology of this sovereignty-driven Blockchain is so exceptional, with such immense potential, that everyone should be coming to Hive, not leaving it, especially in this time of worldwide fiat financial (and pretty much everything else) collapse and rapidly spreading tyranny. Hive is a way through that.

Hive isn't just about social media or making money. It's an entirely new worldwide social framework that is actually good and beneficial for those who are a part of it. It's a way of taking our power and freedom back, and asserting our self-determination and sovereignty in the midst of the last desperate and dying throes of the slave system. Hive is one significant way to surmount the great challenges that will come with that, and to thrive.

I will always do my best to help those here who have solid commitment and unwavering determination to building and growing on this extraordinary Blockchain, no matter what. Their investment into Hive makes them a good investment for me, and visa versa. In reality we're partners in a grand business venture, designed to liberate and empower humanity. I'm all in for that, are you?

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after wrapping up my Hive tasks, around 2PM. As is my usual custom, I strained out and blended kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) first, before getting into anything else. With kefir done, I took more photos for these posts, and for my entry in the Reflection Hunters Contest. As I was finishing up kefir, Zai made a salad buffet for the people who were in the Landing, that I paused long enough to enjoy. After eating my fill of salad, I walked around a bit more to take more photos for these posts. Since it was Sunday, I returned early to the Flow House, with my leftover superfood fire coffee in hand, to write and publish My Entry for Reflection Hunters Contest: Round 180 - Torch Ginger Reflections post, and to get to my evening round of Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. For a second day in a row, I had far fewer notification, so I was able to get fully caught up by 8PM. I spent a while more engaging on Waves, and responding to any new notifications, until 9:30PM, when I went to bed, nice and early. I woke up around 6AM, after having slept quite well, doing a round of token management, starting on my Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update, then getting out of bed around 7:30AM to go make my superfood fire coffee.

When I got back to the Flow House, I wrote and published My 115th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: A Good Week for Growth, but Not Goals post, then got immediately to writing this one. It's now just before 12PM, so a marvelous 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, hopefully take more photos for these posts, and then land work, which will probably be back in the garden weeding. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's incarnation of this post! 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
