My name is Mason Berube. I come from the pristine lands of Minnesota in North America. I hardly use computers/internet/phones anymore... but when I do, I choose Nostr, Bitcoin and a decentralized platform. I'm always looking to meet awesome people in real life. If you're looking to meet up, give me a holler. I love slow mornings, warm drinks, local food, reading books, studying, traveling, learning, exploring, adventuring, farmers markets, farms, new views.

Last Notes npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason Hey folks. I think I'll be using this platform as a means to promote in person gatherings in relation to my personal studies and practices based upon returning to the land and living a life in tune and harmony to the natural world. Just a handful of months ago I experienced life outside of the corporate United States for the first time as I visited Costa Rica. It was an eye opener... and another eye opener upon my recent return to North America. During my time in Costa Rica, I met many incredible people working towards a way of life more in tune to the natural rhythms of our lives. I journeyed from the central valley, over to the pacific coast on the Nicoya Peninsula, all the way over to the Caribbean coast near the Panama border and back to the south central pacific coast of Dominical. The country is beautiful and the people as well. It was such a joy to be largely disconnected from my phone, the internet, spam mail and propaganda whilst living life. This is what I wish to share among others... a good way of life - to put it simply. I traveled by means of public transportation and hitch-hiking and I worked in exchange for housing and food. This allowed me to really be part of the places I visited, the people I met and the communities I became involved in. I plan to 'gather the tribe' so to speak and assist the guidance of people to these places that have had such profound impact during my travels, they are retreat centers, homesteaders and people creating a place for people to remember. They offer retreats, volunteer work, learning opportunities, communal living, space to go within, agricultural practice, building opportunities, etc. If you're out there and seeking good work grounded in truth, nature and community, please reach out to me so we can connect and see if I can help plug you in to the right spot with the right resources. If you're seeking to partake in a Digital Detox retreat in Costa Rica this coming December/January (dates TBD), please reach out to me! Thanks for checking out this post and I hope it finds those who are seeking this info. https://blossom.primal.net/234fd43c2768d35add31f4e4d867d97484c2f672d4deee4d70ccffbcc823889f.png Cheers friends. npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason That's only one paradigm. npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason I don't know, maybe I need more context. npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason Nature.

Congrats ~ Always a treat come harvest time 😃 npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason Amazing read. Tells a lot about how I've been feeling about the internet... down to the details of these feelings I've been having. Thank you for sharing. Powerful message. The internet is indeed dead. It is built on dead technology. Must navigate it as such. The real world is the real world. This post is posted in artificial reality. It comes from a source of truth but is being transmitted via dead technology. npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason Lol! Hahahaha, this is hilarious. npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason Alcohol, liquor, beer when sold and consumed in the commercial fashion often times contribute to loss of consciousness, intoxication, depressive symptoms, fights, poor sleep, gut issues, skin irritations and unregulated actions among many other things. Why would a municipality or township want to own and operate such an establishment? What are the intentions of these municipalities and townships? Do they want to support the health and wealth of the people? Liquor stores are a societal norm... but just because that is so, doesn't mean we have to continue on 'business as usual'. Nothing changes if nothing changes. Just a thought I've been pondering as I think about community in general... why our towns own and operate liquor stores... and why the people like their liquor so much. Questions people... questions that roam my mind. npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason Hi family. Wishing you peace and serenity this night. The world is wild mess right now on the one hand... and a beautiful new earth on the other hand. It's all about perspective and where you stand. Life comes in waves, some waves bigger, others smaller... these waves roll through humanity and they hit people at different times depending upon the individuals soul experience. Each wave of life affects each individual differently. It's a beautiful thing. Technology is a wave, it comes and it goes. As time goes on, there will come a point where nobody will be using 'nostr' or 'primal' or 'facebook' or a 'computer' for that matter. It's all a wave... it'll dissipate and take a new form, a new shape, in a new way. "Nothing to get hung about" ... as they say. Local food, growing your own, meeting people in person, reclaiming your humanity, your power, your story... these are tangible ways to embody our higher power. Meditate, exercise, love, share, teach, learn, drink clean water, say yes when it means yes and no when it means no... these are all ways we can embody our higher power. Cheers ya'll npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason Life's better in the real world npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason Thank you ~ npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason This is exactly it. Period. npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason I think so. Haha. So far everything is working. npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason Thanks LMK npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason Thank you.

Neighbors 😃 npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason It'll be up until end of the Month at most. I think by me simply being on Nostr alone will help promote Nostr. If people really like my content who are here and also have Instagram, they can just repost my stuff on their instagram... some of us are ready to be completely off of it - I'm one of them. npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason yes, there's an energetic release for sure. A breathe of fresh air. npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason indeed. We did move it up the stairs! It's got a new home. npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason Yes, thank you for correcting me. I'm still getting my jargon all set straight. I understand, Primal is an app built on Nostr, correct? Thank you, cheers ~ npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason it's funny you say that. We DID move that rock up those stairs! We carried many more just like it to build a fire circle. Good eye! npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason Introduction Post: My name is Mason Berube. I'm from Minnesota. I love working in harmony alongside Nature each and every day. I've lived the last 4 years with a flip phone, I haven't largely been off of social media during that time. When I look back on those years I can honestly say I didn't miss a thing. I'm so happy that Primal is a thing and that people are working to create a better way of interacting in the digital sphere. I still think the best way of course is in the real world, but I'm learning to live between two worlds (tech and nature). So, I love experimenting and learning about new ways of doing so. I started learning how to use instagram as a backbone for an online mentorship business a few months ago. I did it all (posting everyday, using hooks to catch peoples attention, outreach, etc...) - what I found is that is that the very system and foundation that IG is built upon essentially just creates clones of people. It's not for me, to say the least. I think it is for some people, but it's no longer for me. Primal is a return to the early days of the internet, I am so happy for this because it is shaking things up in a good way. Not only is it a return to a good social media experience, but it is also a step forward towards a more humane transactional system with BTC. I love this aspect of the platform. I currently use a Macbook Air - I'm stoked to maybe have a @nprofile…d7jf computer one day. Everything we can do to create a more biological friendly tech experience is a win in my eyes. Apart from all of that, my day-to-day work is on the land. I've been involved in local food systems for the last 4-5 years now. Primarily working in small-scale farming and vegetable production. I've become best friends with the chickens and cows, I love seeing the magic of a seed transforming to fruit and the community of people in the agriculture and farming sphere are truly beautiful people in so many ways. This is a huge part of my work: connecting to the land, stewarding the land and networking among folks who are interested in learning more about this way of life. I don't yet know how I will utilize this platform. I don't yet know the true purpose of social media in general. However, as I stated earlier, I'm willing to experiment and see what works and what doesn't. Shout out to @nprofile…uzxr for taking my questions and thoughts about Primal and Bitcoin. I'm currently living near Dominical in Costa Rica. I'll be here until the end of April, if you're in the area and looking to connect, I would love to! I'm staying at a beautiful place called Sacred Space Center (website: sacredspace.center). My instagram username is @offlinewithmason - I will be deleting the account by the end of the month and switching completely to Primal. Cheers ~ https://blossom.primal.net/81d04142f8adcb7edface92d8afe493ee6e63a15784252e58e6410aa6a83a398.jpg npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason I have signed up for Nostr, I have a Wallet of Satoshi and I think it's connected to Primal. I can receive and send zaps. I don't know yet, how I'll be able to take my bitcoin to spend at the local farmers market here. I don't yet know much about the crypto side of this platform. But I do know that I am sending and receiving sovereign money and messages so far! Haha, all good. I'll keep learning. npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason App is updated. Very nice blue theme. Learning as we go ~ npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason What a divine happening. Candlelight meals are the best ~ npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason It is a new breed unto itself. The mere fact that I can choose what appears on my homescreen is a HIUUUUUGE sigh of relief. npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason Okay. Primal is it. It is a return to a humane social media experience. npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason Hi npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason This is amazing. npub1hyhj9mgk7e2h2agmmkdz4xrq5qm4xvycqrhhqkhfrs66yw9lnlgs9546kj mason I'm working on it.
