Copied from a facebook group - Love for life Kindoms
Our two and a half years here, immersed in uncivilized Nature, have been a huge experience that is difficult to describe. I stopped sending out newsletters in May of 2014 because I’d changed so much in my perspective, my relationship with Nature including my own true Nature, and in my lifestyle that I could not think what to write that would have any meaning to people still living in the modern lifestyle of the “system.” Our time here has been an education in Nature’s school, unlearning everything we thought we knew and re-connecting to Nature’s truth and wisdom. As we’ve reconnected more and more we’ve learned directly from Nature who we are and how we want to live. It’s been full of life transforming moments as the illusions and fantasies of the Modern Lifestyle thinking become visible along with the expanding of self-awareness. It’s been very humbling as well.
I came here with years of planning including our well researched house plans, garden plans, garden seeds, budget for living fences and on and on. We brought expensive equipment to help us make the transition more quickly and easily, but all of that is simply catching dust now. It was as if Nature said, “Just set all that aside for a bit while we get to know each other.” In that process of “getting to know each other” which is really getting to know our own Nature, we’ve scrapped all those plans. The house was designed for a lifestyle that we can no longer tolerate or accept. The garden plans were based on illusions of what we needed and wanted for a lifestyle that is no longer attractive. The land itself has shown us better plans and better plants with which to begin developing our gardens. Instead of our planned living fence (very expensive which nearly all died in the first two seasons) the existing native trees produced hundreds of baby trees the second year which we began transplanting to our living fences and expanding forest.
The first spring and summer here there were only five edible plant varieties on the entire 80 acres of range land plus a very brief but prolific eruption of meadow mushrooms. The second spring and summer there were 32 wild edibles and this past spring and summer there were 57 plus another 10 or so varieties that I haven’t been able to identify yet (may or may not be edible). The land and surrounding Nature, even the weather, have been astoundingly responsive to us in so many ways. Winters here in our thin walled campers with no heat at night have been amazing. Even during six days of 18 degrees below zero (Fahrenheit which equals -28 Celsius) we were fine. We dressed warm and our bodies adjusted so well that we needed no heat down to 35 degrees -1.5 Celsius). The second winter we needed no heat down to 25 degrees (-4 Celsius). Who knows what we’ll discover this next winter? We’ve started building an earth home and may get it enclosed by December but if we don’t it will be no problem for us. I’ve loved the full exposure to the weather once I saw that it’s not the big deal I thought it was when I lived in an insulated and well heated house in the city. I’m not all that excited about moving into a house even though we’ve made it quite small and simple.
I’ve come to realize that people living in bondage to the System are severely ill and weakened at all levels (mentally, spiritually and physically). I see now that they cannot make a sudden or quick transition to a Nature centric lifestyle any more than I could have. We’ve set aside one of our parcels as a sort of healing transitional place. Most of the first people who will be able to make the decision to come to a kin domain lifestyle (one that leaves the system lifestyle and thinking behind) will be beaten down and almost forced out of the system because of their beginning awakening. Many will need a place to just “park” and recover as they reconnect with Nature and their own true Nature. Over a year we can build two or three rustic log cabins with rocket stoves on that transitional plot for little enough money that we could manage it. We have so much unneeded furniture and household stuff that we brought with us that we could easily furnish three cabins in addition to our own small home. Those who stay there may or may not choose their own domain parcel and begin creating their future as they heal from the lies and diminished self-awareness.
We have a limited amount of solar power, enough for a few lights, satellite dish for internet only, cell phone and computer charging. I cannot spend a lot of time on the internet so when I run into a video that seems really important to watch (like yours that I just watched) I download them to watch or listen to during the evening. We have a generator that we use for power tools but we use it as little as possible because of the noise and fumes it produces. We’ve gone much farther than just living off grid. Our intention is like yours, to leave the system behind and build a lifestyle that is generated from our true Nature. We are far from achieving that goal but are so deep into the transition that it has become difficult to communicate with people only aware of what the System has taught them, even when those people are some of my own grown children.
Thanks again for your videos which are absolutely telling the truth about the lies and the illusions of the system. I hope they will be seen by millions.
Blessings,
