I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #771 - Off-Grid Jungle Tech - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Friday, September 6, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

When people first come to know me online, whether here on Hive, or on other more sovereignty-driven blockchains and platforms, one of the things that surprises them the most, aside from the fact that I live naked, is that I have the infrastructure and technology to be online, even though I live off-grid in the jungle, and in an intentional community nonetheless. While I am aware of others like me, active on different blockchains (like Bastyon and Qortal) and platforms (like X), scattered all over the world, who are also living off-grid, mostly outside the (satanic slave) system, there certainly aren't many of us. Creating and maitaining infrastructure and technology to be able engage in a consistent and stable way online takes strong desire, will, and the willingness to figure out and do things for one's self. Needless to say that most of these off-grid electrical-internet systems, ours included, are very custom, improvised, and DIY frameworks.

The very rainy, and often wet conditions here, added go the moisture in the atmosphere, is very bad for technology, as you might guess, and any tech that is not protected from water, and with a pretty-constant electrical current running through it, will almost invariably come a quite rapid end of its functioning. Even just to maintain internet connectivity through the whole network requires me to change ethernet heads quite often, because the moisture corroded the metal connectors. Desktop computers don't last long here at all, since they must be left running to not die a quick death. Laptops, like my ASUS TUF laptop, fair far better, but they still can't be turned off (unless they're put in a vacuum-sealed bag or container) for long. The tech with smaller, tighter, and more enclosed and integrated circuitry seems to last much longer.

Although this way of living off-grid, mostly-outside the system, where we collect, produce, and grow a good portion of our resources, which is practiced mostly by a motley crew of offgridders, homesteaders, preppers, and conspiracy realists, is not at all common now, I would guess that a great many more people will be choosing to live this way, the more the present (slave) system goes overtly tyrannical, and collapses. Being aware of what I am, and knowing what I know, makes living immersed in the system impossible now, so there's no other option for me.

Given how important Hive is for me, and how I always want to be aware of what's really traspiring in the world, solidly-functioning electrical and internet systems are absolutely necessary for me. Building and growing on Hive, as I've been doing for the past almost 3 years, and now helping to create the MMB (Maximum Mutual Benefit) Meta-Project with @borniet, while living naked and barefooted off-grid in the jungle, certainly is a seemingly ridiculous contradictory paradox, however, being the bridger and connector of world that I am, it fits me quite well indeed!

Yesterday, Friday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, around 12:45PM. Melekai had asked me if I could help her with fencing again, so that was my first task of the day. After helping Melekai, I headed to the Landing to strain and blend kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), and once I had that done, I got my machete and collected wheelbarrow full of Cecropia and Melochia leaves for cow-milking food. I made various attempts through the day of getting more photos for these posts, with the weather partially cooperating, so I was able to get some at least. Toward the end of the day I replaced an ethernet head in the Ka that stopped working, which thankfully did not take much time. My last task of the day was to make Iolanthe some food for dinner in Tutu's. I ended up hanging out with her for a short while, then I walked her to Braja's (her grandmother) place, passed by the Landing to pick up my leftover jar of superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and made my way back to the Flow House, to jump into my evening round of Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. I did not have many notifications last night, so I was able to get through them all by just before 8:45PM. I spent a bit more time engaging on Waves and Ecency proper, along with a little more token management and checking in on Bastyon and X, before finally going to bed just after 11PM. I slept well, super thankfully, waking up around 6:45AM, doing a round of token management, starting on this post, and then getting out of bed around 8AM, to go make my superfood fire coffee.

It's now just before 12:45PM, so a great 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 and blend kefir, and take photos for these posts, and then land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until 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. 

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
