I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #803 - Compression Breakthrough - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Tuesday, October 8, 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 I think about and feel into everything that's happening here in this jungle community lately, and around the world presently, aside from all the hidden darkness bubbling to the surface, it seems like everything is becoming ever-more intense, in-our-faces, and well, compressed. It feels like the weight of everything onto which we're still holding, and that we haven't healed, resolved, and reintegrated, is increasing exponentially. To say that this is uncomfortable is a huge understatement.

With everything that I've been experiencing, and of which I'm aware, it's been requiring a great deal of mental and emotional focus and determination just to write these posts, and to keep up with my daily Hive tasks. So far so good, but man is it not easy sometimes (like today). This community is coming apart at the seams, as is 'mainstream society', and something's got to give, and very soon.

From my perspective and experience, most people, everywhere, seem to be going through deeply challenging time now, and it appears to be continuing to ramp up with each passing day. This pressure, this compression, is a very strong catalyst for growth, if it is navegated correctly, that is. It can also lead to utter destruction (outwardly at least), so the point of compression breakthrough, which is the ideal positive situation, is not a given by any means. I say that, and yet I also know that, for humanity as a whole, we will indeed break through to the other side, but that it's not at all going to be easy. The greatest triumphs never are.

Thinking that things will continue the way that they are, or that they will go back to some way that they were in the past, is not accurate, and is actually quite pointless. It's not going to happen. That's not what this time period is about at all, which to me is very clear indeed. Even planning for the future based on what we know now will not work, as a completely new world is being born. The old one has to disintegrate first, however, which is exactly what we're seeing and experiencing all around us, even me, here in the jungle.

I don't know every detail of how it's all going to unfold, either here at GaiaYoga, or in the world, but I do know what the result will be, once maximum compression is reached, and the individual and collective breakthrough finally occurs. That's the target that I have locked in my sights. To me there is no other option.

Yesterday, Tuesday, I left the Flow House, once I had finished up my Hive tasks, around 2:15PM. I put my attention of taking a round of photos for these posts for a while, then I went to Tutu's to do the dry-goods order. When that was done, I made myself another one of my glorious cheeseburgers in the Landing, and I took it up to the Flow House to enjoy it. With how crazy everything has been here lately, my motivation to do community and land work has been very low, as it's taking a lot of energy just to maintain some sense of balance and peace. I returned to the Flow House in the early evening, to get into my usual Hive rounds, and to catch up on my notifications. I got everything done on Hive by around 9PM, spending a while afterward doing some token management, tracking events on X, and then going to bed around 12:15AM. I did thankfully sleep well, waking up a little after 6AM, doing a round of token management, starting on this post, catching up more on my notifications, and then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee, and to milk the cow, which I did with Cameron. It's now just after 12:30PM, so a very good 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 (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), take more photos for these posts, and for my entry in the Shadow Hunters Contest, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next iteration of this post tomorrow, and possibly my Shadow Hunters entry later today! 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
