I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #348 - Hive, Our Global Meta-Country - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Monday, July 10, 2023

I live barefooted and naked, very close to Earth and Nature, in a 16-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. 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! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I've called Hive a decentralized Blockchain Nation multiple times in these posts, and the analogy is a pretty good one, as we have most of the analogs to actual countries in the world. On Hive we have our own currencies and economy, governance, celebrations and holidays, even a shared identity and patriotism. Languages and religions are diverse here, as they are in any significant and multifaceted nation.

Seen from this perspective, Hive functions as a meta-country, encompassing and including diverse peoples from countries worldwide, coming together to connect, share, learn, collaborate, and grow. People with vastly different perspectives meet on Hive and come to a kind regard and understanding, as they share their lives, what they love, and what is important to them. Here we are able to see and appreciate each other's beautiful humanity, and even if we don't agree on everything, we come to care for each other. In this manner international peace and goodwill are nurtured every day via this beautiful Blockchain, far more so than by any talks or negotiations by the heads of countries.

Hive, by its nature, stands in direct opposition to those who seek to control, divide, and use the peoples of the world for their own sick gains, and it creates a framework that allows for the complete circumvention of this control-slave system. With Hive, human freedom, empowerment, and sovereignty, blossom, grow, and spread, further weakening and eroding the influence and power of the dominant global system, which does not have our best interests in mind (to put it mildly).

Unlike in most official countries, we are not pawns here on Hive, and what we need and want actually means something. Quite the opposite from how most of us have been conditioned and programmed, it's all in our hands here, as we decide...everything. So dive in and get yourselves involved, dear friends, because we have an open-source, decentralized, human-centric, blockchain meta-nation to build!

My daily Hive catch-up and tasks continue to flow more easefully, with me being able to keep things caught up quite well indeed lately. Being Monday yesterday, I had the Leadership Council meeting in the morning, at 10:30AM, just after I finished making my superfood fire coffee. Thankfully I was able to write and publish the previous iteration of this post before the meeting began, and I could also get a lot of catch-up done during the meeting (when I was not involved in the discussion).

After the meeting ended, I returned to the Flow House to continue with my Hive catch-up and tasks, which I was able to finish by about 3PM. I also swapped out one of my Arch Linux installations (Arch1) for another one (Arch2), and then cloned the first hard drive, before storing it away. With Hive and Arch Linux at a good pause-point, I left the Flow House to go get some tasks on the land done.

I collected four empty propane canisters, and took them to the front of Tutu's, where they would be taken to town to refill. I replaced the empty canister at the dryer with a full one so that I could successfully dry the load of laundry that I did yesterday. With the propane situation handled, I devoted a couple hours to doing a good weeding of the fenced garden again, this time more thoroughly.

When I finished weeding, I took a hot shower, collected my dry laundry and took it back to the Flow House, strained out more kefir for my kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao blend, and made myself some food just in time for the community Logistics meeting at 6:30PM. The Logistics meeting went on until about 8PM, at which point I gave a quick demo for people on how to toggle the Wi-Fi on and off on my router in the Landing, then I grabbed the quart of my yummy kefir blend and retired to the Flow House for the evening, to do another round of Hive catch-up and tasks, before finally going to sleep about 11:30PM.

I slept well last night, and I woke up early, about 5:30AM, starting on a round of Hive tasks, before going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing at 7AM.

While there was some rain last night and in the early morning, it's been beautifully warm and sunny since I got up and began doing things. I've been writing this post, and updating Arch Linux, all morning, and now it's just about 11AM, so a good time to end this post so that I can begin my Hive catch-up. I deeply appreciate you all! Until tonight, or more likely tomorrow morning! Onward and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚
