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! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Polish_20220714_121754649.jpg

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

In two days I will be on the Blockchain for 2 years and 10 months exactly, and I have to tell you that I'm more passionate and excited than ever to be here on this glorious Blockchain, doing what I do every day! My excitement comes from both perceiving Hive's incredible future potentials, and seeing that potential being practically actualized each and every day, and all on an open-source, decentralized, community-owned and operated Blockchain!

To date I've made three outside investments into Hive, two from other crypto assets (PKOIN that I made on Bastyon and the LTC gift from my friend Bryan), and the last one being my first use of fiat assets, made from my sessions with women. I'd like to move much more fiat into Hive, but that's not particularly feasible yet as I have monthly bills to cover, though I do plan to make one fiat investment of $100 into Hive every month, as that feels like a sustainable level for me. Given that the US Dollar, and the whole global fiat financial system, is on the verge of complete collapse, I want to get as much fiat into Hive as I can.

With my future investments into the Blockchain, I'll be splitting it evenly between HP and HBD in Savings in layer 1 and income tokens and diesel/liquidity pools in layer 2. I realized something today that seems quite accurate, that our investments into layer 1 (HP and HBD in Savings) represent our belief in the Blockchain, whereas our investments into various layer-2 projects and tokens represent our belief in the people on the Blockchain. That's why I want to continue investing in both in equal measure.

Polish_20220714_121631044.jpg

Yes, projects fail and people disappear, that is a fact of both layer 2, and life itself, and while there is sadness and even grief in these dear losses, hope and potential are constantly bubbling anew with the arrival of new people and projects on the Blockchain. There are so many amazing projects and developments in the works that my own excitement is also constantly bubbling. My excitement, too, comes from reaching a level with the growth my account where I can see very cleary just how quickly that this growth is accelerating. Yep, I'm pretty happy with how my Hive journey is progressing, and every day more so!

Yesterday, Saturday, I left the Flow House for the second time, after helping Melekai and Elohi with the new computer, just a little after 3PM, straining out and blending kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) first, then walking around a bit to take photos for these posts. I ended up taking two nice walks down our jungle round as well, with even more photos taken. The weather has been quite hot (for this area) and dry, so not the best time for land work or to work with my plants, as most are rather water-stressed at the moment. When I was done with my last jungle-road walk, I collected my leftover jar of superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and I made my way back to the Flow House, to get to my evening Hive rounds, and catching up on my notifications. In a very impromptu manner, I ended up hanging out for a short time with Iolanthe, eating a few Mysore blackberries, and talking with her while she opened a coconut, before finally delivering her to Braja's place (Braja is Io's grandmother). I got back into Hive as soon as I got back to the Flow House, and after much effort, I got everything done and caught up by just after 12:30AM. I got to bed by 1AM, sleeping reasonably well, waking up around 8:30AM, doing a round of token management, starting on this post, and then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee.

It's now close to 2PM, so an exceedingly 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 out and blend kefir, maybe take more photos for these posts, take photos of my entry in the Reflection Hunters Contest (which I didn't do yesterday), perhaps another walk down our jungle road, and then back to my Hive endeavors! I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my Reflection Hunters post later today, and my Hive Goals and Progress Update and the next expression 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.

It would be great if I could invest more Fiat into Hive... at this stage extra money is there to stretch the budget so I do not have to draw from hive to survive!

I feel you on that, as that's been my experience much of my life! It's only recently that I'm making enough from sessions that I have more of a buffer of funds, so I used a small bit of it to invest into Hive. Yes, don't take from Hive, as that would be equivalent to shooting yourself in the foot! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Sessions? What are those?

Also, Hive IS a means to an end after all. We arent all through time and money into it for charity. Of course we will reap greater rewards in the long run but in the short term there are people who actually earn a living on Hive. 🙂

I do deep, integral energy-body-tantric healing work sessions with women. I'm very good at creating safe space for there to be sufficient trust, so that there can be a letting go and sinking in, which allows us to work through and clear deeper trauma stuff. Everyone with whom I work either knows me or I was recommended by someone who does. When I'm giving sessions regularly, I never have to worry about money.

Indeed, of course! To me, Hive is my personal business to which I devote time every day! I know many people here on Hive that either have used, or are using, Hive assets to pay for goods and services in the world. Hive is a game changer! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Yes, precisely! She's already ahead of most in that regard! It will still be years before I ever take anything out of Hive! Given that Hive is a compounding-interest and exponential-growth machine, so getting assets past a certain level will allow one to easily live off a small portion of the monthly interest! Tell her to keep going! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Warm greetings, @clairemobey! I really appreciate you expressing that! Well, you can! I realize that you guys are in South Africa, but where there is desire and will, there is always a way! While there are indeed many challenges to living here, it truly is a whole different world out here, and the freedom, autonomy, and self-determination make the challenges well worth it! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

I just figure there has to be more to our existence. We're born, live, and die with so little time to "smell the roses." We don't make the time either because we've convinced ourselves that we can't afford it. There has to be a better way.

That's one big reason that I do these Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry posts, to show people what's possible, and that there are other, far more life-affirming, human-aligned, and fulfilling ways to live as humans on earth. It is always my deep honor, pleasure, and privilege to share! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Sorry to bother you again.

In fact, being new to HIVE, I really benefit from your teachings.
Today was this:
"I will be splitting even between HP and HBD on savings in layer 1 and income tokens and diesel/liquidity pools in layer 2. I accomplished something today that seems very accurate, that our investments in layer 1 (HP and HBD in Savings) represents our belief in Blockchain, where our investments in various layer-2 projects and tokens represent our people's belief in Blockchain."

Very well thought out. However, I decided to follow his teachings: put as much as possible into Power Up and have some HIVE available for the monthly HIVEbuzz.

As I still have little in my portfolio and I had delegated more than half, I decided to have more value in my vote.
So I removed a delegation with 50HP and another with 25, to have more value in the vote.

Unfortunately, something unpleasant happened that I had never read about in any article.

Because I removed the delegation, these communities began to silence my posts and not vote, as they did previously.
Then begins the drama that I didn't know about. Is it worth delegating HP to someone or not?

I will continue to delegate to OCD but I was reluctant to delegate to anyone else. Yes, I may want to withdraw delegation out of necessity, and then they will be upset and silence my publications.

Sorry for the long comment.

Hello again, and no worries, you're not bothering me! I'm grateful to hear that you find the information that I share useful!

Very well thought out. However, I decided to follow his teachings: put as much as possible into Power Up and have some HIVE available for the monthly HIVEbuzz.

Thank you, I appreciate it! That sounds good, the more into HP the better!

As I still have little in my portfolio and I had delegated more than half, I decided to have more value in my vote.
So I removed a delegation with 50HP and another with 25, to have more value in the vote.

OK, yes, undelegating can be one way to increasing voting power, though it's also possible and generally fiesible to just allowing your HP to grow again to a level where your vote value is more useful. Keeping your HP-delegation percentage at 50% is a good balance.

Because I removed the delegation, these communities began to silence my posts and not vote, as they did previously.
Then begins the drama that I didn't know about. Is it worth delegating HP to someone or not?

Ugh, I'm really sorry to hear that! That hasn't happened to me, so I can't speak from experience on it. Delegating HP to community-curation accounts that provide good benefits is one significant way to leverage assets to grow other important assets, but choosing the right accounts is also important.

I will continue to delegate to OCD but I was reluctant to delegate to anyone else. Yes, I may want to withdraw delegation out of necessity, and then they will be upset and silence my publications.

Delegating to OCD does seem to provide good benefits, so keeping that would likely be a good idea. I've never heard of communities silencing posts because people removed delegations. Very curious.

Sorry for the long comment.

All good! I wish I could be more helpful to you! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Thanks a lot, @borniet! I'm always grateful that you dig them! Yep, there are flowers in this one, the pretty red-and-yellow flowers of Epidendrum radicans, a lovely orchid that I have growing in various spots near the Flow House. That photo, which was taken in the early evening, on one of those cloudy and gray days, actually did turn out pretty well! I'm glad that you appreciated it so much!

I had a feeling that you'd appreciate that part! It just came to me one day, as many interesting things do! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

That's absolutely true. Out-of-the-blue intuitive and cognative downloads happen rather often, for which I'm very grateful! Hrmmm...you're right, and it also clearly explains an important distinction. It would be good for teaching material, as a way to help people understand Hive more deeply. Sounds great to me! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
