Please be wrong

I hope I'm wrong but I'm afraid that this shit that is going down and spreading is going to keep speeding up and blow up very soon, like this year, before or around northern hemisphere fall harvest season.

I am getting the most terrified feeling that we have to be planting food forests now on a massive scale worldwide or we are going to have a terrible, terrible price to pay.

I am gravely concerned.

Relaxation

Today I decided that when I was craving a certain daily crutch that usually arises around 11am I would meditate or elicit the relaxation response, whatever you want to call it, instead. I had just read another positive article on the practice about some study where the subjects who meditated all had observable changes in their brain structure after some period of time where the control group completely did not. So anyway I decided I'd give it a whirl as that would surely be more positive and productive that what I usually might do.

Everything went better than expected.

I started off as usual just calming self and closed eyes sitting on the couch relaxed and concentrating on breathing and then started to do the whole body awareness thing starting at the toes and going up. Well before I even got to my head i started feeling really relaxed and having weird rapid eye movement stuff that seemed pretty involuntary but I tried not to dwell on it, and just keep self cleared. I pulled myself out of it shortly after that to see how I would feel after just a short time of it and well, it really seemed to help, more than I would have expected.

1000m (1km) diameter geodesic dome for year round forest garden near Victoria BC.

Construct a very large geodesic dome as a test project for a year round forest garden greenhouse near Victoria BC on Vancouver Island. The purpose of this is to provide a year round food production and retreat environment for community members.

I believe this can be accomplished by individuals with some fabrication skill producing a very large number of specific structural shapes (mostly triangles) of not more than 1m on any side. The exact math needs to be worked out but I am confident it is possible. The final design should be able to be constructed by unskilled individuals snapping the triangles together according to predetermined pattern, to form the tensegrity structure.

Perhaps the permaculture design of the forest garden can begin even before the site is chosen as the eventual enclosed/covered space will be able to be largely weather controlled.

I imagine this as a pilot project to demonstrate to the world what is possible in terms of year round forest gardening in temperate climates.

Global Financial System Default: The Peoples Pushback. Part II: Land Stewardship Final Showdown

Direct action plan involves discussion and agreement on a date to put into place the effective cessation of rent and mortgage payments from private individuals to landlords and banks, in an synchronized, worldwide, multilingual, human action of solidarity.

Thats right, we're adjusting the property ownership model here on planet Earth. We outnumber you a million to one and we're starting to realize it. Any attempt at organized and/or systematic eviction will be met with overwhelming force. Any shots fired will be countered with extreme prejudice.

Message to enforcers: Trying to control our living space is not worth risking your life. Why fight us? Join us instead. Our network will provide you better opportunities for experiencing life and cooperating with humans.

Thank you and have a nice day.

This came out of me in a comment on cnn faith blog:

Anyway I wrote this:

BladeMcCool:

I have faith that the bible was written and edited by many different humans in some languages that were NOT ENGLISH, over a period of thousands of years. It is my humble belief that to treat the book in any other way is foolish. That said the book has lots of fun stuff in it, but treat it with a grain of salt, especially if you are not reading the original hebrew/greek texts.

Now to solve real world problems. Nobody can command you to do anything. But Universe suggests quitting your jobs and going off to plant livable forest garden communities and join local exchange networks as a starting point to restructuring human society towards a sustainable path. Universe suggests that immediately starting on such a path, with the help of all your current friends, neighbors and associates, will pave the way for humans to live with one another peacefully here on this planet indefinitely.

Orienting your church and faith groups towards this type of mindset could also be very productive. Civilization is changing. Evolving, if you will.


 

Livable Food Forests - Forest Garden Communities

Hello people of Earth. It was nice to make your acquaintance. I have been studying your macro issues for a while now. I find it curious that most of you still scurry around performing meaningless tasks in exchange for the tools of living granted to you by your token-masters. Why do you cede your very existence to other humans? Why do you allow this slavery to continue? You outnumber them a million to one and yet you continue to allow them to direct nearly every aspect of your lives. You must like it this way.

Unfortunately, we can no longer sit back idly and watch this play out. We suggest that all idle humans begin, henceforce and immediately, to start the work of planting food forests and forest gardens, and in such a way that communities can literally live inside these forests. Forest gardenification of existing urban spaces is not only completely possible, but is now required and mandated by us.

Feel free to rip up concrete and asphalt from non-right-of-way public spaces (please do not damage public roadways at this time) and plant food bearing seeds. Please post notice of intent around such plantings so that passers by can come to understand the livable food forest mandate we are setting forth here now.

Once again this is not a suggestion or just an idea. This is now a fundamental requirement of economics and human survival on this planet. Continuing under the current economic paradigm is no longer acceptible and will not be allowed to continue.

Thank you for your attention.

Notes: Key research terms are: "permaculture" "permaculture design" "urban permaculture" "food forests" "forest gardening". There are MANY excellent youtube videos on the topic. You are expected to watch and learn, or perhaps even go read up on the topic some using available resources
