I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #658 - Stay Focused on the Goal, Regardless of the Obstacles - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Thursday, May 16, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Getting and remaining clear about what is most important to us, whether it's here on Hive, or in our lives in the world, and then keeping an unwavering laser focus on that goal, no matter what is occurring to us or around us, is of immense importance, and is exactly what allows us to move through the obstacles that we encounter in our path. This can't be overstated. Growing on Hive, resisting and countering the very-rapidly-spreading global tyranny, or achieving any manner of other significant tasks, requires rock-solid, tenacious, determined will and focus. With these, we are truly unstoppable.

Knowing our value and what we're capable of accomplishing is also paramount, because that's what helps to inform us in being able express and maintain solid boundaries around what it truly is that means the most to us. This is an expression of Love in action, and it's how any authentically beneficial changes are made.

Being able to keep this tenacious, determined focus, even in the midst of very challenging and difficult situations, is one of the greatest skills that we can learn. In mastering this skill, we become like a hot knife through butter, utterly indomitable in the face of what confronts us. We are far more powerful, in every regard, than we know. We just have to fully realize this fact.

Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House just before 2PM, putting my focus first, as I usually do, on straining out and blending kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), and taking a few more photos for these posts. I also spent a little time laying on the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn, doing my best to get some sun under quite variable, and often cloudy skies. After my attempt at sunning, I went to help Ano again to put up another section of fencing around the new cow pasture. We worked at that for a few hours, finishing a little after 6PM, around the same time that Iolanthe called me to see if I would make her another one of my special cheeseburgers, which she had mentioned that she wanted earlier in the day. I took a shower first, then returned to Tutu's to make Io's burger. As she was eating, she proudly showed me photos that she had taken on her phone. She's got an excellent eye for good shots, and has become quite an amazing photographer. After looking at her many beautiful photos, I pushed her on her swing for a while, until just after 8:15PM, way later than I expected to stay. When I finally left Tutu's, I went to Power Sharing to turn on the generator again, and to the Landing to collect a jar of my kefir blend, and then I returned to the Flow House, to get to my evening round of Hive tasks and catching up on my notifications, way later than usual. Because I started so late, I was not able to get fully caught up on my notifications for the third night in a row, getting to only within 13 hours of being fully up to date. I ended up going to bed just after 10:30PM, thankfully sleeping well, and waking up around 5AM, doing a round of token management, beginning on this post, doing another round of catching up on notifications, then getting out of bed just after 8AM to go make my superfood fire coffee.

Iolanthe came up to the Flow House to look for me again, to ask me if I could accompany her while she collected various plants and flowers to make a crown for Omya's baby shower. Even though I was in the middle of writing this post, I did end up joining her for a while. Although she's still very young (almost 12), she does know how to drive an automatic car, so I rode shotgun with her as she drove down our jungle road for a short distance, to go collect a particular type of fern. After fern collecting, we returned to GaiaYoga Gardens, and went into Tutu's, for her to begin making the crown. I continued writing this post, with great focus and determination, the whole time I was accompanying Io. I finally left Tutu's to return to the Flow House to finish this post.

It's now just before 1:45PM, 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 out and blend kefir, take more photos for these posts, and then land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow! Forward, onward, and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
