I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #560 - Practice, Passion, and Purpose - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Thursday, February 8, 2024

I live barefooted and naked, 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. 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Three P words came into my mind this morning, as I felt more deeply into the shifts within myself that I'm experiencing, practice, passion, and purpose. These seem to me like three essential pillars of a fulfilling life. The word 'practice' is used in two ways here, one, to signify a daily or regular practice, like yoga, meditation, integral practices, and such, and two, to mean practicing something that we are in the process of learning. Both meanings seemed equally important when these three P words popped into my mind.

Living in solid connection and alignment with, and honoring, our unique and special passions and purposes, which necessitates honoring ourselves, is extremely powerful, to say the least. It can be utterly life changing, or even life transforming. Practice is the process of intentionally growing ourselves beyond the version of us that we presently know. Living in our passion is doing what brings us most alive. Living in our purpose is doing what is most meaningful to us. As you might guess, passion and purpose usually overlap, and regular practice goes along with, and strengthen, them. They're like three Ps/peas in a pod.

As I go through this asymmetrical process, in fits and starts, of healing my broken heart, and returning myself and my life back to greater balance, integration, wholeness, and vitality, I'm receiving inklings, ideas, and information on the errors in the perspective from which I've been operating, and how I might change them for the better. It's not easy to describe, but this morning, along with experiencing a small earthquake, I was also able to see just how my present life experience is faithfully mirroring my beliefs about myself and what is possible for me now. Because I could see it, I feel my perspective shifting around it. That seems somewhat significant.

I know that my beliefs create my experience, but it's funny, because it's definitely easier to accept in some areas of life rather than others. I got to see this morning, however, how the limiting and quite negative beliefs that I've been holding about myself had directly created some very unpleasant realities in my life. Along with that, I also saw that if I changed these beliefs about myself and my life, that what I experience would indeed change to follow suit. Now to play with that a little. In any case, the shifts continue!

Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House just after 2:30PM, with the intention to take photos for this post first, but the weather was not great for that, so I went to check in on Sperry (who apparently fractured his right wrist and left clavicle) first instead, to bring him some of my kefir blend, and to talk with him for a little while. Once I left Sperry's place, I finally put my attention on taking photos. I prefer to take photos in the morning, when there is sun, because its very common, and quite regular, for the late afternoon to be cloudy and overcast, which is not at all ideal for photography. After I finished with photos, I went to my nursery and continued with my task of cleaning, weeding, and organizing, getting another chunk done, which gave me a good feeling of satisfaction.

After working, I took a shower, strained out kefir for my kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao blend, helped Liza with a tent (she was going to a local Rainbow Gathering for the weekend), made myself food, then I returned to the Flow House for my evening round of Hive tasks and catching up on notifications. I got everything done by around 10:30PM, did a round of token management, checked my X feed again (I was watching the Tucker Carlson-Vladimir Putin interview on X while I was catching up on my notifications), then I went to bed just after 12AM. I did sleep well, which is great, waking up just after 6:30AM, doing another round of token management, then getting out of bed around 8AM to go make my superfood fire coffee.

It's just before 12:30PM now, so it's a good time to end this post, so that I can get to my afternoon round of essential Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House in the later afternoon, to first take photos for this post, then to focus on land work. I deeply appreciate you all very much! Until tomorrow! Forward, onward, and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

2024 Life Goals

1.) Heal my broken heart. 

2.) Bring myself and my life back into balance, integration, and wholeness, and do regular integral practices.

4.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again. 

5.) Continue my work with Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, DeSo, Bastyon, and other sovereignty-driven technologies, as well as learn relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute. 

6.) Get regular healing sessions with women flowing again. 

All photos were taken with my Motorola G Power 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
