Last Notes
This is my kitchen. I built everything myself.
What you are looking at was an empty field of rocks and sticks before I came along and devoted myself.
I took the raw materials of the Earth and created a living sculpture. Functional art.
The dirt walls, clay plaster, mesquite shelves, rock accents, yucca stalk decorations, copper plates, and cottonwood corner posts all collected from on-site resources.
It is my orientation that affords me these opportunities. And you can know it too. Right now, in this very lifetime.
I like to use the term "old story." The story of separation. The old story says that you are a separate individual. A soul encased in flesh in a world of others.
In that story, your purpose here is to make a place in the word. To survive, maximize your self-interest, and contend with all the other separate selves out there trying to do the same. To insulate yourself from hostile natural force whilst taking what you need and what you want from the world. Cuz.. why not?
The new story is to realize that your purpose here is not actually to maximize your wealth and security and self-interests. Your purpose here, the reason we are on Earth and in this cosmos, is because you carry gifts that you yearn to express to the world.
Just like every species. There is no species on Earth that only takes from and degradese the ecosystem. Every species actually contributes to the aliveness of the collective. They contribute to the unfolding of life and beauty.
We're the same.
It doesn't look like that right now. That we are a gift to life and beauty. It doesn't. But that is what a mature species becomes. So the transition we are in right now is the maturation of our collective consciousness.
This is true on an individual level as well. Which is why you can mine a million Bitcoin$... but if you're not using that to make the world more alive and more beautiful you're gunna feel... "I wasn't put on Earth for this... When am I going to get to live MY life.. not the one I've been bribed to live."
So this is the orientation I am talking about. The orientation of understanding yourself as gift. So in every situation you get to ask yourself, "what is mine to do? What is my Task? What is mine to give?" And that doesn't mean self-sacrifice because it includes a recognition of the generosity of all the world and all the world's species. To receive fully all the gifts that allow me to give forward and leave things more beautiful than they were when I found them.
It is understanding myself as an agent of the continuing coming aliveness of the world.
Just take a look at natural history. It is just a history of the world coming more and more alive. 4 Billion years ago, nothing. Then bacteria. They become more complex, multi-cellular. Then things begin to colonize the land, create soils, and plants, and flowers leading to insects and they made it even more alive and more beautiful. Then we came along.... Same reason. We're the same. So long as we're tapped into that, into that story about what is humanity for.. then you will know your ultimate purpose.
The old story says we're here to transcend nature. We're here to conquer. But that's not actually why we're here. The more that we're tapped into "what can we contribute to the aliveness of the cosmos" then life has meaning. Then you know why you're here. You know how to orient yourself and navigate life. You're tapped into the maturation of our species.
There's a north star to follow.

Lutnick was Jeffrey Epstein's neighbor in NYC who hung out with him and tried to lie about it. Guess you can understand why he's in Trump's cabinet.
Thank you, but not genius. Just dialectical materialism. This school of thought has been around for almost 200 years and is the only philosophy on Earth that has sparked revolutionary thinking across the globe.
Not only did corporations start cutting corners with our food production the second regulations were removed, but not a single fuckn' thing got cheaper for the consumers.
Make no mistake, they will kill each and every one of us for a dollar.

We got 3/8ths inch in the storm that came down Sunday/Monday early morning hours! A good drenching for us here
The speaker! It's easy to build community around music.
Great quote from a great thinker! Taking control of our shelter, water, and food needs is not only great for our local resilience but also subversive to the political and economic status quo! Do it for reason #1is enough to motivate me, but maybe also saving the world if enough people follow is a great secondary selling point!
Never forget that the system we are rebelling against is a gang of completely unaccountable strangers who are genocidal, pedophilic, war profiteers that have seized the levers of power and have turned them against all life on Earth for personal gains.
So, you kno... prepare accordingly.

Superadobe just like Rich! But more in the style of Sam's house where we plan to connect a long rectangular room to the dome bedroom instead of many domes interconnected!
I am using that exact same UPS for my remote work station & maintaining my starlink connection. Had it for about 4 months and definitely a fan
I built my off-grid house entirely from on-site soil and with my own two hands. The walls are 50cm thick. The dome even goes underground. Then I stocked it with years worth of provisions, firearms and ammo, thousands of varieties of seeds, rare medicines and first aid, I then hardened the off-grid systems against cataclysm, and have contributed countless hours to strengthening the resiliency of the surrounding community.
I joined Nostr as a continuation of that pattern. It is one small facet of a robust systems that can resist breaking down, no matter what kind of storm we're made to endure.
